Well, I find almost impossible Canon releasing a M7 body :-)with similar R7 feature set.

However, a M6ii paid firmware upgrade, although unlikely would be a more realistic option, it is just software.
Canon would be making money from many customers “stuck” with a now deprecated mount with photo gear money going elsewhere but Canon.

Besides making good business sense, it would make customers happy and loyal to Canon, as a brand that has your back.

So, What features or fixes would you like to see implemented and how much are you willing to pay ?

1) better auto eye/animal/car/ etc AF

I believe that is possible only with Digic X

2) address the EFCS shutter shock issue

Definitely.

but the concern of pirating firmware would not be acceptable to them - so they'd have to release a refresh m6III body

Canon is already selling an optional $100 firmware for the R6ii and Panasonic have done it multiple times. It is doable.
