On the other hand, it seems to me the R50 has an onboard flash unit so there allready is an easy and on the go way to get a bit more light without having to build a slightly towering construction with the optional Canon AD-E1 adapter and the external flash on top (R3, R7), that is if you want to maintain a somewhat weathersealed combination. I for one wouldn't complain if Canon were to put a similar flash unit in a "R7 Mark II' (together with R5 lay-out and topscreen, haha). It should not be impossible since it is APS-C and larger than the R50. It was one of the reasons that made me prefer the 7 D II over the 5 D's. You don't have to use the on board flash if you don't like it, but it's there when you need some light on the spot.
