I just want to be able to turn on the sound when in e-shutter burst mode. I think some of the newer R cameras can do that.

Also would like for the frame rate to be selectable in e-shutter mode - 20/10/5 fps would be perfect.

Since I shoot sports any kind of focus improvement would be welcome.

I expect you will get both the sound and the 20/10/5.   The R7 which is much cheaper has that.  Rumors claim the reshoot from R7 is in there too as well as no more 30 minute timer for video.  I was afraid Canon ask me to buy the R5 Mk II to get those R7 features.  The f2.8 zooms focus breathing compensator in video was a recent lens firmware change and I have suppose that may require a R5 firmware change to get the full benefit of that update.  The autofocus in the R7 works differently than in the R5 and the R7 feels better and newer as well as similar to the R3 interface.

I have been going crazy for this update but sure sound nice.   I love my R5/R7 combo.  It is just seems embarrassing for the R7 to have the nice features the $3900 R5 does have but should have.
