Probably. But after the URSA 12K, I doubt we will ever see ProRes in any of the newer firmwares and cameras. In fact it is likely that they’ll take it off in upcoming firmware updates like they did with CDNG.
So for the Pocket and Cinema 6K line up, the upcoming update version may be the last we shall see with ProRes. Hence, although I am very interested in the upcoming firmware release for my P6K, I will be watchful and careful of that. So whatever the last firmware update they come out for the Pocket and Cinema 6K that still has ProRes, that will be the last firmware update I will install.
Although I am not happy with the fact that the UMP 4.6K G2 doesn’t have any more new firmware updates for several years now and likely will never have one, I love my G2 and keeping it…. And it’s got ProRes.
