One thing...

Re: One thing...

I use Canon RP - it already has more megapixels than I need, I wouldn't even mind if it is replaced by a 20 MP successor. And I don't use RP for videos, so I don't care about 4k or 8k.

I also never needed more than 8FPS (RP lags in this regard), but I would love fast BSI sensor in future. Better low light performance due to circuits behind the pixels, and practically unlimited shutter life as you can use electronic shutter all the time without any drawbacks is why fast BSI sensor is so interesting. But I understand that it is completely unlikely that fast BSI sensors will appear on low cost cameras any time soon. I expect 8 FPS without any visible lag in the EVF.

I would love to have the option for HEIF in the future RP replacements. I will probably not use HEIF files until their use become more widespread, but I love that you can get HDR PQ like jpegs from converting HEIF files in camera or using DPP to convert raw (currently DPP does not allow to make HDR PQ like jpegs from raws of RP, but it allows it for 5D4, 1DX3, R, R5, R6). If you use Highlight Tone Priority and then get HDR PQ like jpegs from either converting HEIF files in camera or from DPP, you can get jpegs that almost completely match the scene as seen by the eye in terms of DR/ highlight roll off/ tone curve. Even if you do not need natural looking jpegs, these files can work as the excellent base from which you can tweak to get the look you want.

I will also love head tracking AF in future camera - that can seamlessly transition between face and eye detect depending on the visibility of  the face.

And a larger viewfinder, with a magnification of 0.76x will be most welcome too (RP, R6, R5 users already have that).
