Blackmagic is silent on any future update plans. Always.

The last firmware update for the 4.6K G2 was August 2019. It's nearly been 5-Years. Ironically it is still available for sale and still offered as a current product. So could a firmware update happen? Sure. Will it, I wouldn't hold my breath for it. Many of us have asked for a firmware update with Gen5 Color Science and some of the other new features in the firmware to come. Even the older Pocket 4K has gotten more updates than the UMPG2.

If the Pocket 4K can do it the UMPG2 can do it. So it's not a hardware limitation since the UMPG2 is easily more powerful than the P4K.

Given that history, probably not. Nevertheless, still a great camera.
Now that the cat #19 is out of the bag, test it as much as you can and use the subforum.

ya'll all probably right but it sure would be nice to have a few of the updates like the Gen 5 Color Science and ability to review the clips and delete them. The cloud upload might be an issue but it would be nice too.
