I usually print 30cm * 40cm, that's a lovely size to me. If you make the maths we have 40cm*30cm = 6400x4800 pixels at 400 ppp = 30,720.000 pixels = 30 Mp. So, I don't agree with Adam or Sanyi from Hungary. More Mp will be welcome. Human eye’s resolution is said to be around 400 ppp., which is more or less the best printer’s resolution as well.

It is less than the 50D per sensorspace. I would like less noise at high ISOs. That could be a real killer-feature! About 30 Megapixels is not too much mor than the 21.

An 1'8 inch would be ideal for a 35mm still camera (54 mm (W) x 78 mm (L) x 8 mm (H)) 1st and 2nd will allow lossless video compression at higher frame rates, maybe up to 100 fps in 1080p...

I use a sony GPS dongle, but I always forget to check the batteries and they are ususally dead. What I want to see is automatic hyperfocal focusing. The camera already knows the aperature and focal length, why can't it just focus hyperfocally already! Or bring back the DEP mode, and not the A-DEP mode. GPS would be awesome.

If you are like me, shooting events with multiple camera bodies and multiple people, time synchronization is important. "Okay everyone, push it it in 5..4..3..2..1..NOW!" Either that or, (like I was doing yesterday), filtering an event in Lightroom by camera serial number and trying to find simultaneous shots so that I can think to myself: "Let's see... What's 4:26:15 minus 4:32:52?" One aspect of GPS that some may not realize:

The variable frame rate would be really cool - I'd love to be able to overcrank for smooth slow motion using the lenses I've already got. If still cameras eventually move to an electronic shutter, adding video would be a natural move. I think video is a great addition that will add a lot of flexibility.

We have enough mega pixels. Advances in Dynamic Range, Low-light performance and other core image quality features would be welcome. Wifi is inevitable - the days of cables for this type of work are numbered and it is not a difficult technology to implement (albeit as a choice). GPS is useful to many - if others do it (and I believe they will), Canon will have little choice than to tag it on as soon as possible to be in the leading pack. Unfortunately, the current video buzz, and the fear that video companies (think RED) could step over to pro video/still cameras will mean the research and design focus may be on everything other than producing the 'very best' stills cameras.

And completeley essential period for forensic use. WiFi: When shooting landscape I would just have the camera automatically offloading stuff everytime I got back to the car. In the studio, of course, I would use it for "tethered" shooting. For 3-4 years, I have been writing to Canon asking for these features. I see both of these as essential productivity features that I would expect/demand any pro camera to have. I would really like to also have these features on the 5D series, but that may be hoping for too much.

Will there be a high speed shooting option? Or will the movie mode be following RED's full resolution raw capture at movie frame rates?
