Re: Wishlist for Canon EOS M5 / M6 Mark II

My list isn't too complicated:

1) Improve the AF -- since they already did some on the M50, it should be at least that good, but further improvement would be appreciate.  Low-light is, of course, the priority.

2) Higher magnification EVF -- the current M5 EVF (0.62x, I think) reminds me more of my original Lumix DMW-LVF1 (0.52x) than my X-T1 (0.77x.) It doesn't have to be X-T_ level, but at least 0.70x would be nice.  Also, allow for adjustment of displayed color.

3) Silent shutter -- I just bought the M5, but may sell it and buy an M50 for that feature alone.  Why make a small, discrete system without that option?

4) Settable minimum shutter speed for auto-ISO -- still can't believe that isn't already there.

5) Improve the dual-function dial -- it's not very natural to reach and feel less robust (almost wobbly) than the front dial

6) Flip out screen (personal preference)

I would also like IBIS, but I doubt we will see it.

A few somewhat faster lenses would help round out the system without being so large as to be inconsistent with the system:

1) Faster kit zoom similar to what Fujifilm offers; e.g., 17-52mm f/2.4-4

2) Fast 85mm-equiv. portrait lens; e.g., 53mm f/1.4

3) Faster long zoom; e.g., 45-125mm f/4 (or f/3.5-4.5 to make it smaller)
