So many new mirror-less camera body releases since the original EOS R, but I haven't heard much when (or if) a direct successor is coming.

I don't want/need a pro body, and I don't want a crop sensor. Does Canon expect us to upgrade to the R5/R6?

For the most part, I'm mostly fine with the R, but it's auto-focus system is definitely looking quite dated.

I'm basically looking for the same R body + updated focusing system (that every other newer R-body camera seems to have), and a faster sensor readout fo a more useable silent/electronic shutter (without the banding/stretching artifacts). Everything else can pretty much stay the same.

Just get an R6. I came from a 5D4 (same sensor as the R) and have used my buddies Eos-R on a few occasions before getting into the R system. In terms of resolution I can't really tell a difference. What I can tell though is better dynamic range, much better high ISO, and quantum leaps advancement in AF.
