Looking through the release notes, I don’t
think any of those affected me and after updating the camera works just as well as before :)

While updating the R5II, the phone app informed me that the R8 also has a new firmware.

Very strange. I searched for the Mac version, and it said no Firmware update available. I then searched under All Operating Systems, and it was found then.

Depending on how I interpret their kind of vague bug descriptions, this might actually fix the super-occasional crashes. I've only had it happen to me 3 times with maybe 40,000 exposures since I got mine, so I wasn't fretting about it. They mention a fixed bug involving the switching between viewfinder and back screen. Unless that was another bug I wasn't aware of, I suspect that kink is fixed.

-tig

PS: The early firmware on the Mark I of the R5 had a couple crash bugs that were devilishly hard to track to any specific causality. One odd thing I notice that is similar in this Mark II case versus the Mark I is that the crashes seemed to diminish over time without a firmware fix. Which isn't how electronics work. The few crashes I had with my Mark II were in the first few days, and I haven't had any issue in weeks. Chalked it up to coincidence with my Mark I cameras, but now that the Mark II behaved similarly, I figured I'd point it out as a weird observation. Probably just me.

Did it detect yours as macos 11 or the actual version you’re running? It picked 11 for me and manually moving it to 15 showed the firmware.

It detected 10, then I manually moved it to 15 with no success. Canon and Macs have their problems. I have had to set up a separate admin account to install DPP4 and utilities. Utilities 3 now conflicts with Preview and I have to quit that to download.

They do. But, if you log into the Canon site it automatically detects your operating system and tells you no firmware upgrade available.

If you follow the link for each camera and download the firmware file directly to your Mac, you can unzip it. An fir file is an fir file so no problem there. I just did. I'm a little wary to do an update with all the problems in the past, but I got them.

Kudos for fixing these rare bugs, but it would also be great if Canon homogenized features and user experience.
Like why does a lower end camera like the R50 and R8 have lens breathing compensation and the R5, R6, R7 and R10 do not?
Why do the R5 and R6 have older autofocus systems and never got updated - take notes from Fuji.
Why can the R8 shoot with 1/16000 electronic shutter, and the R5 and R6 cannot although they all run on a Digic X?

I'm asking Canon not to take notes from Fuji, especially regarding AF.

From what I can see, the R8 would be the ideal camera for you - it ticks a lot of boxes for you.
