Seems they are saying the rumor of R5 demise (or R5 II's rise) are greatly exaggerated

I wonder how close it’ll be to the R6 Mark II’s firmware.  The R6ii’s menu (firmware) is completely revamped (over the R6’s) from head to toe.

What I’d really love to see is any improvements to the subject detect library or AF selectivity and tracking in general.

You know, if we’re getting a major firmware upgrade for the R5 now, that really points to Canon speccing a substantial Hardware upgrade for the future R5ii in order to create enough separation (and desirability over) the revamped R5.  Good news all around!
