I want a M5 Mk2 to have...

M6m2's sensor = 30 mpx or thereabouts

IBIS => and for it unlock high resolution sensor shift modes, think 100mpx on a tripod for landscapes etc.

Electronic First Curtain shutter + silent mode.

In the M5 body, with 2 control dials.

Almost all of the above tech Canon already has - so get it sorted Canon!

They seem to have gotten over the hangup that M is gonna hurt DSLR or R sales.

I adapt EF, so I generally don't care about M lenses BUT Canon have missed a serious trick with not making a very long lens in M format. But they do seem open to long lenses in R, with these newly announced 100-500, 600mm and 800mm f11 lenses.

A 100-400mm f4-f6.3 EF-M lens - smaller than what is currently available would sell surely? It doesn't have to be L grade, but as long as it isn't rubbish.

This way you leverage the extra 1.6 reach of APS-C and get a long lens in a smaller package?
