Re: R5 Firmware update - Free or by subscription?

If it was some special features that are completely new and not available on other (including Canon) cameras and requires hiring a new R&D team to get it done, charging extra to cover the R&D cost sounds fair.

However, current rumors indicate that most if not all features predicted are already available on newer and cheaper Canon cameras. Canon is just porting such previous R&D works already done on other cameras back to R5.

This requires a lot less R&D effort, and Canon should not charge customers
