None of the above. Not worried too much about the competition, but I suspect there will be a higher end version coming.

Not enough here to change from 5d4

What do you hope or expect it to offer? What will it take to buy?

I ask because it seems to me the ‘pro’ features we all want/expect can be fount in Sony’s entry level a7III.

Well for one, for it to not be a Sony.

How much more will Canon charge for a 2nd card slot and pro video features? Will the pro model have ibis? What will the A74 have(that will be out by then)?

Doesn't matter what the next Sony that I don't want will have.

I’m curious as to how Canon is going to charge more for features found in Sony’s $2k entry level camera with a straight face. And will people actually buy it?

Probably track record, stand up service, works in bad weather, massive lens line-up, existing user base, biggest 3rd party ecosystem, etc...I'm not sure the next camera I buy will be mirror-less either, not sure it offers much over DSLR having used them both.

I do find it sad this one doesn't have IBIS, otherwise this is about what I expected. Mostly I'm sad they didn't release the 28-70 f2 L for EF mount.

EDIT: btw, I like Sony for their Playstation series and TVs, just don't like their cameras as of yet.
