Canon R5 and R6 are announced yesterday.

I do not think that Canon would release something like 7D, which has FF-like body but APSC sensor. However, I believe that Canon would continue M5 or M6 lineup for their APSC market. We had M5 first and M6 later. Now We have M6mk2, but not M5mk2 yet. Some users like me are still waiting for M5mk2. I believe even some M6mk2 users hope that M6mk2 would be upgraded at some points.

If you want something from a successor to M5/M6, what do you want to see?

HI, There is clearly considerable interest in this question.

I think Canon can make lots of users happy without having to invent anything new. All the ingredients are already available.

Users who like the flat top, no EVF body and tilt up-down screen are catered for already with the M6.2. All that camera needs is the option to set electronic first curtain shutter like every other Canon Mirrorless interchangeable lens camera.

But plenty of users prefer an integral EVF and fully aticulated monitor screen like that on the M50.

All Canon has to do is incorporate these two features into a body which is otherwise very similar to the M6.2.

Job done, I think.

Options might include IBIS, a thumb stick and some level of water/dust sealing.

Does anyone at Canon read this forum ?
