What are your wishes for the maybe upcoming Canon EOS M5 or M6 Mark II? (Just keeping them together, because they are very similar!)

I go first Here is just a list of unsorted thoughts:

  • 4K especially without crop!
  • higher frame rates for all video formats
  • better low light Performance (especially for astrophotography)
  • an ISO invariant sensor or at least a better noise performance
  • higher and lower ISOs (50)
  • better timelapse controls (longer timelapses, shorter intervals, etc.)
  • internal programmable timer for mulitple shots
  • adapter with a cirular polariser
  • adapter with a variable ND-filter
  • Adapter as a Speed Booster with a removable slot for either a circular polariser or ND-filter
  • higher and lower shutter speeds
  • a fix for the shutter synchronization problem (https://www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/4320175)
  • a function to zoom all the way in in order to check sharpness while focusing manually. (Should work with only the press of ONE button!) (Maybe a haven't found the feature!)
  • Dual-Pixel RAW
  • Sound indicators in live view, while recording or in the mode "video".
  • Video RAW or similar
  • True HDMI video output without live view HUD
  • Live audio output
  • Recharging with any USB-charger
  • Batterie grip?
  • USB C-Port
  • USB 3.0 or 3.1 transfer protocol and speeds
  • Higher WiFi speeds (maybe it's my phone)
  • A lot more (maybe all features) remote controls through the Android / iPhone app
  • Clip-In filters system? (Please look at the astronomik web-shop for references) (Just add some notches to firmly hold those filters in place
  • Shutter closing while changing lenses! (It's a Feature for the EOS R, should be a software update away!) (Probably only applicable for automatic lenses)
  • Faster SD-Card Transfer rates (maybe through a double SD-card slot?)
  • More RAM for longer burst rate shooting
  • Silent shutter with rolling shutter mitigation
  • Focus bracketing or even just a series of focus shoots (all RAW) (with a lot of controls!)
  • More time bracketing controls
  • In-build LOG color Profile
  • The ability to choose a lens profile for manual lenses, so they are stored in the metadata? (The data has to be manually put in the first time and can be selected the next time!)
  • In-Body Image Stabilzation

Any other thoughts?

Just one…. all the things you want will make it a 2500 dollar camera (at least)
