Firmware update winner

Just saw when I saw there was a firmware update available. I like the camera so far. Yes, a dual pixel would be nice, but this is a pocket camera. As for the "problem" with focusing, firmware 1.1.0 added a second AF mode with faster focusing, similar to the Mark II and probably what many users were expecting. It focuses faster but seeks focus more than the autofocus mode the camera was released with. It's not bad and it's not worse than my Lumix G85. To be honest, I think the focus "problem" was intended for vloggers who take longer to find a focus, but then it's better to keep that focus. Either the users disagreed or didn't understand the intended operation. Otherwise the sound of the stereo microphone is really good, the stabilization is solid and it fits in my pocket. It won't be our main vlogging camera, but it will work well as a backup when conditions and location call for it. If Canon is listening, add dual pixel autofocus and weather protection without missing a beat and it really will be the perfect blogging camera.
