Is that after the Support the 7D MK II, or maybe the 1D X?
I'd certainly not claim to know if its possible to support some future unknown Camera model.

Its not a certainty but they will work on new cameras as long as they have people who are willing, as for the 1D X, they are not allowed to touch it by Canon

I'll upgrade to the 5D Mark IV or the 1Dx Mark II when Canon gets close to announcing the 5D Mark V or the 1Dx Mark III... no matter what the feature set is, good Lord willing and if the creeks don't rise.
I've got a Canon EF 200mm f/2L IS USM, Canon EF 400mm f/2.8L IS II USM and a Canon 600mm f/4L IS II USM to save for in the mean time. Oh, and I'd like to have 8 more 600EX-RTs, but a set of Profoto lights would probably be better.
Anybody need an indentured servant?

I'd like to be able to make phone calls, surf the internet, and play games on the 5D IV. C'mon Canon!

What I would like to see is confirmation of 'correct' exposure within the viewfinder.
One of the advantages often stated by those that have changed to EVF is that they can see correct exposure within the viewfinder after taking the shot. Fair point. I think it would be possible to do it with a proper (OVF) viewfinder with a traffic light type system. Add provision for a coloured dot in the side or bottom of the viewfinder display. After making the exposure nothing means no pixels blown. A green dot means < 1%, an amber dot between 1.1 and say 4%, a red dot greater than 4% blown. The exact % to be defined properly.
It would mean that when pushing exposures in high DR situations you could adjust your exposure without having to chimp. Of course in rapid fire it would be disabled with the exception of the last shot.

I assume that the metering sensor will have more than 100,000 pixels. Based on that assumption, I don't see why your proposed warning dot couldn't appear even before you take a shot. The metering sensor could relay the percentage of overexposed pixels with a high level of accuracy given your camera settings and the available light.Sporgon said:

I have a lengthy wishlist:
Image
26MP DPAF CMOS
7.5fps
Low ISO
A real ISO-50 or ISO-64
Reduced shadow noise at low ISO.
ISO Range
ISO 64-16,000,
ISO expandable to 32 (L) and 32,000 (H1) 64,000 (H2)
High ISO
2/3-stop improvement in noise performance at high ISO.
i.e. ISO-3,200 on new sensor looks like ISO-2,000 on current sensor
Flash Sync Speed:
1/250s sync speed
Also if there is a crop mode then I would like the flash sync speed increased when using crop mode. If it takes for example 1/250s for the shutter to travel 24mm then it takes 1/320s to travel 18.75mm (1.28x Crop). They can throw out the extra pixels at the top and bottom of the frame but allow the extra horizontal pixels to be recoverable in post-.

This is all very reasonable, close to my own, but I'd be a little bolder and ask for a full stop of noise improvement.
Just a note about "killer app," it is a figure of speech now meaning "compelling feature." No longer restricted to the original denotation! Some of y'all are so literal minded!

Here is my list based on my usage of the 6D and the 5DS:-
The newer mirror box in the 5DS (clam motor driven)
Intervalometer (as 5DS)
Strenghtened base plate (as 5DS)
26-28MP sensor with 14 stops DR
lower noise / banding eliminated
Flicker control
Illuminated AF points (user selectable)
8-10 FPS
Wi-Fi & GPS (both are not gimmicks)
Exactly the same form factor as the 5DS (this is slightly revised from 5D MKIII)

A app is still a computer program and does not apply to features that are part of a product. A large high powered engine in a car is not a "app".

That would be sweet, really sweet
I'd be happy with less actually....
The newer mirror box in the 5DS (clam motor driven)
Intervalometer (as 5DS)
Strengthened base plate (as 5DS)
26-28MP sensor
lower noise / banding eliminated
Flicker control
Illuminated AF points (user selectable)
7-8 FPS
Wi-Fi & GPS
That little flippy toggle switch that the 7D2 has

Sorry, it does not mean that. You can't just make it up as you go along, and you certainly are not the arbiter of the English language.
Fantasy worlds aside, the term "app" is slang for application.

Touchscreen with auto-rotate. I'd like menus to be nicer to navigate when my camera is fixed on a tripod.
While playing video games recently I got to thinking about camera control. It'd be nice to have a video remote controller. e.g.
- Focus on A and set B. Push [button X] to time touchless focus pull from subject A to subject B.
- Focus on A and set B. Push [button Y] to time touchless focus pull from A to B then subsequently track B.
