You're just asking for an onslaught of people telling you to accept the fate.

Remains to be seen how well their 16-80/4 performs. Hoping it’s quite good - what a useful range and speed on APS-C!

Makes me wonder about Tamron's 35-150 2.8-4 lens for full frame. What some think as a weird focal length, I think as brilliant. I was never happy with the 24-70/105 or a 70-200 so maybe....

Don't forget that the 200D, and I assume many of the "Rebel" and xxxD DSLRs, run the LP-E17 battery. The M5 II would be a good upgrade from that range, especially if a) it uses the same battery, and b) they discount (or include) the EF-M->EF adapter. As someone with a 200D and who finds the 9 point optical AF system really limiting, I'll be strongly looking at the M5 II as a "body only" upgrade.

Keep the same batteries, but allow for USB to charging direct to the camera. That would be so 2014ish.

They will. The 2 latest g series have an usb-c port that allow usb charging during use.

Charging during use? In effect, external power for the camera? That would be useful for some shooting time lapse / astro. No Canon ILCs currently offer that (the R/RP allow USB charging of the internal battery, but camera functions are disabled during charging).

for many Canon battery types/cameras there are "battery dummies" available to hook them up with uninterrupted external power for any length of time.

but ofc power over USB-C would be highly preferable - for continuous operation and battery charging at the same time. Canon would not even have to be innovative, as it is invented already.

Unfortunately doesn't work with underwater housings

Well that's it, let the underwater Sony exodus begin!

Meanwhile, i'm waiting for any news about that “first of its kind macro lens” and the 135 1.8, https://www.canonrumors.com/three-new-rf-prime-lenses-coming-in-early-2020-cr2/

Information from the 5th slide from DPR
This is a new possibility coming from the new usb-c implementation.

I see no reason why they might be bad for macro photography. Any particular concerns?
