Canon just needs to make more super zoom or just good zoom around 400mm compact camera's with raw, travel buddies to take with you to everywhere there are already so much compact camera's with 2x or 3x zoom

I don't want APS-C. That just means another $1500+ camera with a slow zoom lens. What i want is a G16 or Ixus sized camera with modern tech and sensor and a good quality 24-100 or 24-200mm lens.

Yep. Canon would be better off making a soap bar RF-S body than handicapping an APS-C sensor with a compact camera lens. Concept reminds me of the LX100....

The thing is, if you give the R8II the same sensor as the R6III, the same battery, same EVF and then add a AF joystick…you basically have a slightly smaller R6iii. With a similar price point.
The whole point of the R8 was a budget conscious (and more portable) R6ii.

Well I don't want the same sensor. It has no significant benefits in terms of rolling shutter which is what the R8 line really needs.

I would honestly be fine if they just gave it a third wheel and the bigger battery, maybe just the bigger battery. The R8 is already such a wonderful little package.

I would be surprised if the R8 II actually switches over to the "retro" camera body being rumored. It seems like the R8 has a lot of potential to be a successful size going forward and to "go retro" probably means losing the traditional Canon ergonomics. Why not just create a new retro model? They can still use the same R6 III / C50 / R6V sensor. But an R8 II with a similar, small body design, but the R6 III sensor and keep it in that $1,500 USD price range would be fantastic.
