I'm sure we all have a (realistic) 'wish list' of features that could be added to the EOS R via firmware.... what are your wishes?
1) 4K DCI video (to reduce that crop factor a tiny bit) - to be on par with what the 5D Mark IV has.
2) Both photo and video overexposure warnings (blinking zebra) - similar to what CHDK does for point and shoots, and magic lantern does for DSLRs.
3) Allow shooting with the full frame sensor when attaching EF-S lenses (via a custom function).
Currently if you want to try and explore how much image coverage apsc glass has, you must use at least one non-Canon element (either Camera or lens).
Canon apsc lenses work fine adapted to other non-Canon cameras, but you cant get full frame results because the EOS R forces a crop.
Similarly, if you take a non-Canon lens and put it on the EOS R, you can shoot with the full frame area of the sensor.
To summarize: You are being penalized for buying all Canon, as the only combination that forces a crop is the Canon camera + Canon lens. (default can remain as is, but let advanced users enable it in a custom function).
Just one example is the below lens which I have (Canon EF-S 10-18mm), and another I'd like to have when ultimate flexibility is concerned (Tamron 18-400mm)
4) Allow setting a photo or video crop in 0.1 increments (from 1.0 to roughly 3.0). - A 1.3x video crop would be ideal for that Tamron lens.
5) I will remember a few more after I hit that 'post thread' button.
