The sensor has not changed although OIS has improved and lens is a bit faster. Of course processing has made a number of improvements as well.

Geekbench is a much better benchmark of actual application performance and the initial scores are showing a 20% improvement. https://hothardware.com/news/iphone-12-pro-benchmark-geekbench-5-a14-bionic What this does not show is how the Neural Engine portion of the A14 chip went from 8 cores to 16 cores, improving that aspect of the iPhone 12 performance by 80%. There is much more to a smartphone's performance than just CPU and GPU benchmarks.

This gives us an idea of what to look forward to with the GH6. The BGH1 is a lot actually smaller and lighter than the GH5. https://photorumors.com/2020/09/30/panasonic-dc-bgh1-mft-camera-specifications-leaked-10mp-c4k60p/ DC-BGH1 10.28 MP sensor Micro Four Thirds mount C4K60P 4:2:2 10-bit RAW video (HDMI output), C4K60P 4:2:0 10-bit (H.265 / HEVC) internal recording Dual native ISO Double SD card slot Wi-Fi / Bluetooth 11800mAh VBR battery compatible Dimensions: 93 x 93 x 78mm Weight: 545g

At 8:50 of this video posted today the GH5 successor is specifically mentioned to be in development.

There are 3 pages to the interview and on page 2 it mentions that the surveillance cameras would be a mid to long term new market in addition to the existing business.

It doesn't look like the X-H2 is coming soon. https://www.imaging-resource.com/news/2020/09/04/fujifilm-interview-covid-gfx-strategy-shrinking-ibis-300K-cycle-shutter

So it looks like we will see an R6 firmware update as well. This was posted by Gordon today.

Jordan also did some firmware comparisons.

Here is a summary of Gordon's findings. https://www.canonrumors.com/gordon-laing-explains-the-updates-in-firmware-v1-1-0-for-the-canon-eos-r5/

Better to keep our expectations very low. "Update: A source that is testing the new firmware has warned me not to expect too much of a difference in thermal performance with the new firmware. I guess we’ll know for sure quite soon."

Apparently a firmware update is coming tomorrow. https://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/64300120

He definitely needs to toe the line when it comes to stating possible reason why. I am surprised that many in that thread still didn't believe there was proof of a software timer. At least Roger was very clear on that. The only questions are why and whether Canon will do something about it.

Roger Cicala put on his tinfoil hat and posted his thoughts on the R5 overheating. https://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/64283221

The latest from b&h. https://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/64274876 In our August 4th update, we shared that Canon R5 preorders were very strong and Canon’s deliveries to US retailers have been extremely limited. We also promised to send regular updates. Since that note, we have not received any R5 deliveries from Canon. We expect to receive/ship our next delivery during the first week of September.
