I hope this high end have dual card slot and eyeAFI could care less about a new 50mm lens.
But I like the "high end" mirrorless part of the rumor.
Unfortunatelly for us the Japanese camera manufactures work all together, they are a cartel. I've been observing the camera markt for a while and ... it is a consequent and sistematic trend to see cameras always leaking some kind of feature. a 5D mark IV with a crop 1,7 4K video with huge files, why? and without an articulating screen, not even a tilting one. Why? In my opinion to not compete with the Nikons. That's right. They only pretend to compete but don't do that actually.

That is my prophecy.
I'd like to see an EF mount, but I'm not so sure about IBIS and Eye AF.Dear Camera Gods,
Please let this EF rumor be true. Also let my prayers for IBIS, weather sealing, tilt screen, and Eye AF be answered.
If you ever get your hands on a vintage Canon 1.8/50mm rangefinder lens you'll be surprised how small it is. It's dimensions are roughly comparable with a film cartridge - beautifully small, light and quite sharp.Just got a tamron 45mm sabilized 1.8 and it is mighty big.
Nah, it's logical in the way they think: Nikon never released a such modern 1.4/50mm, so they didn't see any need to reply to that.Canon not having released a 50mm f/1.4L IS USM by now is bizarre.

And, wasn't Eye AF proven useless with Canon's film bodies? After selecting the focus point, I find that I'm constantly scanning the background when composing the image. Would this mess with Eye AF? I suspect the Eye AF would force users to develop tunnel vision on the poertion of the image that they want in focus and train the user to ignore the background more.
How can IBIS be better than optical IS? IBIS would need to be digital and would waste potential resolution advatages of higher megapixel sensors. Or, am I missing something with current IBIS tech?
Whaaaaat? A 50mm 1.4? I do not believe it!

My only 50mm is the only one you didn't mention: Canon EF50m 1.8 (In case you wondered it's the first version with the metal mount )Just do it Canon. I've been wanting one for a decade.

All semi-professional and professional Nikon bodies have a dual card slot, you name it (D500, D7200/7500; Nikon Df; D610;D750; D800/800e/810/850... all have a dual card slot and the "revolutionary" Z cameras have only one? why?
Of course not! Only Canon's new 50mm can do thatI'm not Beetlejuice. You don't have to summon me.

All we needed was Nikon to show this off...
...and NOW here come the 50 primes from Canon.
To Canon: pics or it's still not happening.

So far, only Panasonic does IBIS combined with OS..... I would not be surprised to see it on a Canon Mirrorless......
