I think/hope Canon will consolidate and update the RP/R. IBIS, new AF, legitimate 5 FPS, full width 4K24P, $1500 launch price.

The R isn't really sure for replacement for another year, the RP possibly not for at least two years, going by the models whose sensors and market position they share. I think the R and the RP are aimed at different users and consolidating then into one model will lose some of them. A $1500 launch price seems too cheap to do the hardware for IBIS, legitimate 5 FPS, full width 4K24, etc. properly. We can all dream, but unrealistic expectations don't help.

Given Canon's long model cycles I would not be surprised if the R/RP aren't replaced for another 2-3 years.

And yea the specs I listed are generally associated with more expensive or grandfathered cameras (A7III/A7IV/Z6 etc). But if Canon wants to get the midrange they should be aggressive IMO.
