EOS R5 will have a wireless trigger ?

THIS would be awesome and what I always wanted.... I think Nikon had already something like this back in the days? (was always a little bit better for sports with flash I think (1/320s sync etc.?!))

I am hoping for more built-in features that belong into a pro body:
- a built-in intervalometer that saves the hassle of carrying around an external trigger ...

The PC Sync is on the side of the camera, seen here with the flash bolt icon:
The front is definitely the remote port, whichever type it is, much like on the 5D Mark IV.
Sorry for that, you are absolutely right. I didn t see the pic from left side. I assumed, because the flap is really similar to the one, which is on BG for EOS R...

True.
BUT: Voltages are the same i.e. 7.2V for the LP-E6N (EOS R) and this one.
That means the increase in energy is proportional i.e. 2130/1865 -> 14% more energy.
But what we still dont know: Will this lead to a higher CIPA rating regarding number of photos that can be taken with a charge? I think: Unlikely, because the power consumption of the R5 might be quite higher given new features like IBIS etc.
I think the extra power consumption by IBIS will be more than offset by a newer, more energy-efficient PROCESSOR. Think of the newly released 1DX Mk III, it has the same size battery - exactly as the predecessor but is double the capacity. Further, as I understand it, the processor is not only much quicker (unlimited buffer, basically) but much more efficient as well. So I will not be surprised if the battery life of the R5 will not be somewhere between 140-160% improvement over the current R, perhaps even as much as 200%. I don't think it will be quite that much however. You still have battery suck from the EVF, the extra communication between lens and body, and as you mention, IBIS. But I do think a my initial guess is reasonable.

FOR THE LOVE OF BOKEH WILL SOMEONE LEAK A PRICE SO I CAN START HINT-DROPPING ON THE WIFE OH HELP ME PLEASE!
My guess is the price will come in somewhere in this range $3,699USD - $3,899USD. Body only... (well, probably bundled with the EF - RF adapter).

I think it's likely that the R5 is going to have an improved CIPA rating, seeing how the latest gen of Canon bodies (1DX3, 90D) seem to be quite a bit more power efficient than their predecessors.

AFAIK Nikon's wireless flash commander mode is just like Canon's: optical communication using the builtin popup flash. It's just in Canon's case that feature's limited to crop bodies only because FF Canons don't have a popup flash…

The RS80-N3 is older, from film days. The RS60-E3 was developed for a less bulky plug, and it can rotate.
+ Many cheap but good non-OEM wired remotes for the RS-60-E3. And hopefully this hints at on-board intervalometer, since Canon makes wired intervalometer for RS-80 plug, but not the RS-60. Intervalometer on-board, so no need for the bulkier RS80 plug is the thinking, maybe.

The new LP-E6NH seems to have 15% more juice compared to the LP-E6N, so I'm expecting a much better CIPA rating on the R5 than the R has.

Probably more than $2000 and less than $7000. :)
