Including all the firmware updates in the mark 1 , what can the mark2 give us that was missing in the first one?
5D series ergonomics. Tool size, not toy size.

I didn't sell my 5DMkIV. I like it too much. And it has 2 cards, GPS, works well with telephotos (I mean I can shoot birds with big teles efficiently although I rarely use it for this). Also it is not practical to exchange lenses some with the ring adaptor some without. And last but not least its battery lasts 4 times the shots it lasts in an EOS R.And mine's on the way...! Oh well, I couldn't wait any longer for full-frame goodness after selling my Mk IV, and would be hesitant to spend what it'll go for at release. No doubt it will be on my wish list, though.
Very interesting, though I find myself a bit sceptical over the timeline, considering that this aggressive of a release timeline seems like it would be out of character for Canon.
I suggest you test the Leica SL 2 or the Panasonic S 1, their EVFs are superb !
As I said, the EM5ii was easily the best of that bunch, but they're all still really awful. Look at the viewfinder and look and the scene and they literally look nothing alike. Blacks are crushed, whites are blown, the brightness doesn't match, (EVF way too bright in the dark and way too dark in the sun) they're soft (or low-resolution), there are artifacts and blurring when moving, panning or zooming, colors don't come close to matching, etc.
Okay, I didn't try those.

- A6300 (by far the worst)
That's . . . exactly the point. The viewfinder displays what the sensor is going to capture. If it doesn't look like the scene, adjust your settings until it suits you.
The brigthness not matching is a feature for me, not a bug. The MP-E65mm at full magnification is really, really dark, the f/2.8 setting results in an effective f/17. Getting a DoF preview at f/11 will give you an effective f/66. Not to mention using 10x magnification in the EVF to ensure you're focussed on the right part of the scene.
Unfortunately not. The viewfinder shows how the captured scene will look in the viewfinder. I'm not supposed to like it this way; I don't expect anyone to watch my pictures through the viewfinder.That's . . . exactly the point. The viewfinder displays what the sensor is going to capture.

Not needed. Thumb swipe works better.
I agree with all that but I had to sell it simply because my aging arthritic hands can no longer deal with a body that heavy and large (I'm not a pro.)I didn't sell my 5DMkIV. I like it too much.

It's potential news like this which makes me happy to wait and continue to shoot with my 5D3. The Mk4 and the R are just too much of an incremental bump. It's been 7 years, I can be patient for another long term body and not a stop gap.

The EVF displays what the in-camera JPEG is going to produce from the data the sensor is going to capture. It doesn't display what the sensor captures.
