I know the EOS RP is getting to be an older camera in Canon's line up. The last Firmware update was on November of 2020. Is there no more support for the RP?

I know this post is wishful thinking, but having some features that are simply software omissions would be great. Like a manual focus meter, and additional customization options for button configurations.

Just want to hear thoughts. Thanks

Sometimes, not all things are solvable with firmware (could be hardware limitations). Having said that, do provide feedback to Canon if you haven't done so already for the desired features. You can do so by visiting the Canon USA Main Page, and at the very bottom next to the copyright notice, click on "[+] Feedback" and select "Product" in the popup window.

One thing I have observed is that it seems that Canon's professional gear ends up having more firmware updates over time. Perhaps that gear is prioritized higher? Anyhow, do provide Canon your feedback and hopefully if they receive enough feedback, they'll prioritize it.

I'm sure that this kind of thing is frustrating to people. But just bear in mind that not every firmware update has features that would be relevant to existing cameras.

For example, they might have changed to a different Bluetooth chip, and the new firmware just has a driver for that chip. If so, that would be totally irrelevant for older cameras.

Again, I don't actually know, but having spent years developing tech products, I know that this kind of thing happens. A lot.
