Skipping the 5D-s. What do you want in 5D4?

[Txema]

I would like to come with the new Sony sensor or a canon made 36mp with equal DR, the 7dII AF system including the AF Area Selection Lever.
These are the 2 things that will turn my 5DIII to second body.
I'm afraid the 5DIII replacement will be another deception.
Please, prove me wrong.

I would say the big thing for me is 4K with true 10 bit external recording capability to an Atomos.

After that an evolutionary upgrade would suffice. Higher and more of basically was is requested above.

I know I'm not alone in wanting the return of the EOS-3 eye controlled AF system (except now I'd expect it to actually work well).

4K
Triple Digic 7 (not sure why people want the Digic 6, which is about three years old now - ask for new technology, not old stuff please)
16 mpixels
modern sensor technology
EVF
Articulated touch screen

5D4? - Sure!

100 megapixels - or more, if they'll behave reasonably well (no need to output all 100mp, just use pixel binning to provide 25mp option)
5fps - I mean I could live with 5 :
Dual CF, WiFi, Battery grip with SSD slot (or two)
4K - or ..., no, wait, by the time they release a 5D4, there will be 8K in every smartphone already , so let's make it 8K
Touchscreen! Zebra! Peaking! Jeez!
All the best AF systems (tripple-cross, quad-pixel-hybrid, whatever works best).

5diii is such a wonderful camera, and it's hard to think what should be improved. I'd personally like to have native ISO 50 or 64, better high ISO, interchangeable focusing screen and a reasonable introductory price.

8 bit 4k60p internal, real 10bit output, 120p - better 240p - 1080p, and something like the brick for the gh4 with xlr and sdi

AND

a cooperation with the guys from ML, having a propper implementetation of their software so all the goodies like peaking, zebra, raw shooting,... PREINSTALLED

then i would stick with canon... since i dont see this happening im really curious on the a7rII or whatever name it gets - im pretty sure this1 will have a big bunchg of my wishlist willing to lay down quite a chunk of cash...

Canon don't need to collaborate with ML to include those functions - they already have them in their camcorders so they obviously know how to do it. They just don't want to (probably because they think it will force you to buy a separate camcorder).

- A larger auto-focus area (see 7D Mark II).
- More information displayed in the viewfinder (see 7D Mark II).
- GPS. I would really like to have my travel pictures automatically geo-tagged without using some bulky add-on or remembering to use a GPS data collection application on my phone to eventually mash the data into my photos.
- Touchscreen, assuming it can be turned on and off at will. Being able to zoom in and out with a pinch and selecting focal points with a tap can be extremely convenient at times (see 70D).
- Dual memory cards without having one slot create limitations for the other like the 5D Mark III.
- Focal point exposure measurement options, not just in the center.
- Not as important, but Wi-Fi in conjunction with the Canon phone app can come in handy when you are trying to take group/family pictures that include yourself.
