To all on this thread:
..... Per Canon Support for EOS R5 - Below are New features of Ver 1.2 of the Firmware
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Firmware Version 1.2.0 incorporates the following enhancements and fixes:

1. When using high-speed or low-speed continuous shooting modes, in Drive Mode with [High Speed Display: OFF], the visibility of the subject within the frame has been improved when shooting moving objects.*
*During continuous shooting black frames will be inserted between frames in the viewfinder and live view. This will improve the visibility of moving subjects in live view and in the viewfinder.

2. Adds the [Auto] setting to the [Viewfinder brightness] menu that will brighten and dim based on ambient light conditions.

3. Enables 2nd curtain shooting sync during radio transmission wireless flash shooting when the Speedlite EL-1 flash is attached to the camera.

4. Enables manual flash output (excluding high-speed sync and optical transmission wireless flash shooting) to be selected and set up to 1/8192 from the camera menu screen when the Speedlite EL-1 flash is attached to the camera.

5. Improves compatibility of HEIF images recorded in the camera with MIAF (Multi-Image Application Format) standards.

6. Adds support for AF and release during zoom operations for some RF and EF lenses.

Firmware Version 1.2.0 is for cameras with firmware up to Version 1.1.1. If the camera's firmware is already Version 1.2.0, it is not necessary to update the firmware.
Once the EOS R5 is updated to Firmware Version 1.2.0 (or later), it cannot be restored to a previous firmware version (Version 1.0.0 to 1.1.1).


The following Applications have been updated accordingly:
・Digital Photo Professional 4.13.10
・EOS Utility 3.13.10
・Camera Connect 2.7.20
・Digital Photo Professional Express 1.4.0

Tks goldstar46, that helps me decide.

Very much welcome... As an afterthought.. you might want to consider contacting one of the 'rental' organizations like "LensReatals.com" and rent one for a week.... Give you a good feel of what it is

Just a thought

Already jhave one, just don't know if I want to update.

===================
Agreed... After looking at the 'specs' don't know if I want or need this update also...

The one big thing I wish Canon would add is a 'Save Settings' option which would allow you to store your settings.... before you send out for 'cleaning' or CPS because you know for a fact that they will 'reset' everything when they get it... ha ha ha What a pain
