Cold weather battery and SD cards management?
Customizable stills/video switch? (stills/stills!)
No more info-text when reviewing for the first time?

Any guesses as to what the R5 II updates are?

 

[mmmm]

Customisable WB button please!

Small wishlist:
1) in-camera production of RAW pixel-shift, higher-res feature.
2) increase rate of success for pupil tracking refinements
3) better automatic bluetooth reconnection to phone (my car's connection is very grabby without any input by me, why not my camera?)

C2PA digital signature comes to mind, it was expected to become available for both R1 and R5 II with a FW upgrade.

Customisable WB button please!

And "rate" as well!

I´d wish for a customizable button to assign AF mode concerning "animal, people and vehicle" AF. I don't like having to go through the menu to change it. On the other hand, I don´t believe the R5 mki would get this firmware upgrade, so never mind

4k downsampled 60fps for the R5II? Yes it would get hot as hell, but why not at least give us the option. Especially since they have a cooling fan accessory.
And maybe pixel shift high res like in the R5. These modern Ai features are a joke.

You mean changing the subject to detect? You can already assign that to a button to quickly toggle between them.

What do you mean exactly? Can’t you already assign a button for that? I don’t have your camera but you can do that on the r1 - seems a strange thing to lack anywhere else.

That's what I also do!

Nothing to be wished for, you can already customise buttons to do so.

I´d be please, if my R5 II works as ist should. AF and Battery problems solved by Firmware.

Open gate video recording would be nice, I can use every spare pixel for stabilization in post!

Also, where’s that Lightroom integration Canon was talking about during the launch event?

I feel like a fool now. I checked my settings on my R5 and still couldn't´find it. Where can I find it in the menu?

Did you look into customise buttons? Choose a button and try to change it via that menu

Don't!
If you knew how often I didn't find easy to find settings...

Well, I do... in Germany there is a saying:
"Anyone who can read has a clear advantage". Obviously, this time I have a disadvantage

This is where I looked. I couldn't find it... mode dial is set to "M".
