One thing...

None of the above. The one thing I'd like to see more of is affordable lenses and camera bodies. The Price of the RF system has really gotten off the rails expensive and I already have spent what most sane people would think is an exorbitant amount of money on camera gear. The almost non-existant 3rd party lens support doesn't help either.

The cameras have the technical capabilities for pretty much any type of practical photo needs already. The problems to be solved are mostly not technical in nature but developing a system that can appeal to someone other than deep pocketed pros and enthusiasts.

If I could ask for anything specific it would be an updated RP. Add IBIS and a sensor with modern tech. The RP is the only camera that is really technologically behind by any significant amount. A few updates would make it the ideal inexpensive and small/light camera.

Agree totally with Jonathan about lens affordability and selection but also want to add it would be great having an APSC version RF camera option in the lineup too. Even though my EF-S 15-85 zoom can be used in crop mode on the full-frame R models, the image quality suffers from much lower pixel density when it should not have to. Plus my 70-300L would not lose its extended reach that it naturally has with a 1.6X crop factor. Canon has an opportunity to produce both a high and low end (affordable) R mount APSC camera for the masses right now. Whether they jump on it remains to be seen.
