Built in GPS would be great. There really is no excuse for a $3,000+ camera to lack it. I'd like a simply 'turn on GPS for 10 minutes' feature. You arrive someplace new and can turn it on and it would turn back off to save battery.The R5 body size, shape and ergonomics are horrible imo. I love what Nikon did with the Z8 (and previously Panasonic with the S1 series) in that regards.
I used to have a 5D Mark III and I loved it, it felt just right as regards those criteria.
Adding a built-in GPS would be really nice. For those concerning about battery life, simply disable the feature or add a spare battery in your bag. Problem solved. But at least, those who need it can use it.
Purely photographic specs (MP count, AF, DR, etc.) are absolutely fine as they are. What this camera needs is to improve all the other aspects (some of them mentioned above) to make it really attractive. To me, the R5 is just simply not a camera that makes me want to grab it and start shooting when I see it. The spirit of the 5D series is not there... yet?
Again, just my opinion as a 5D shooter.
