What cameras actually need the most is a setting enabling you to set a shutterspeed where the camera should switch to another shutter mode.

If you're fighting for light with the 11-22mm you're at least as slow as 1/30th. If I could set the camera to automatically switch to electronic shutter in that mode the "problem" would be solved for me.

I also would love to have a setting on the R5 to switch to full mechanical from 1/800th and up, staying at EFCS below that shutterspeed. It would be heaven if it would switch to full mechanical if there's BOTH a shutterspeed faster than 1/800th AND an aperture wider than f/2.2, but I would be completely satisfied by checking the shutterspeed only.

Without this setting I forget sometimes to babysit the shuttermodes myself, ending up with (relatively) blurry pictures at slower pictures with the EF 24-70mm f/2.8 L USM mkII and the Tamron 17-35mm f/2.8-4.0, and also with cut of bokeh with the 40mm & 105mm Art.

Note: These are all amongst the very first world problems. Next thing I do is jump in my car to find a spot to go shooting at landscape apertures and fast shutterspeeds looking for other "problems"

Good thoughts, and I'm sure some of those implementations would be helpful to some people. Myself, I'd still want to control exactly when each shutter mode was used (switch manually).  We just need more of those shutter modes!
