Dear Santa, ehm, Canon:

I want a full-frame sensor in a Rebel body. Essentially the 6D sensor in a 700D, plastic body and pentamirror. For under 1200 USD, please. Light, under-the-radar travel camera capable of working with the whole EF gamut, from little pancakes to big whites. A Rebel with 6D IQ. Now that would be nice.

But, Canon 6d currently is a Rebel full frame. ???
Only has not the price and size of a Rebel. ::)

To fit the size of T5i, this hypothetical camera would be mirrorless.

A little thread jacky but...

I would suspect it might be a 1dx m2. Sony just announced an uber DR/fast/sensitive sensor that is MFT sized so sticking two side by side would get you roughly full frame at 16 mp ish. It could support an absolutely silly FPS, an ISO range that a new chart had to be made or it would be off the chart, and of course DR to burn. (lots of issues like buffers, heat, etc but where is the rate limiting function?)

If Nikon and/or Sony puts something like that into a pro stills body, is there any alternative? I hope Canon has something in the pipeline that can compete.

(imagine a stills body w/ a built in ND ;D :o )

6D Mark2

24+ Mpx
7+ FPS
5D3-esq AF
AF @f8
Improved IQ and Noise

This would be my ideal companion to the 7Dmk2 without breaking the bank

:)
So, basically you want an improved 5D3 for 6D price? It'd be nice, but so would world peace and a cure for cancer.

Considering this is a Mk2 may be out sometime end of 2015 and in keeping with the competition, I don't think it is too much to expect...where can the 6D mk2 go anyhow?
However I do think world peace would be harder to come by! :)

Like the OP, I would like to see a cross between the 6D and 70D. It would have:

1. DPAF version of 6D sensor.
2. A 19-point cross type AF system
3. Articulating touch screen

Anything else is just gravy to me. If they release this camera around $1,800 MSRP, I would order it as fast as I can sell my 70D.

Oh, and if Canon really released such a camera, I would also need to buy some EF lenses. Probably a 24-70 F4L and a 70-200 F4 L IS (I'd get the F2.8 versions, but I just don't have the money).

So...Canon releases something else, I stick with my 70D and EF-S lenses. They release my suggested 6DII, they get a FF camera sale, plus another couple grand in lens sales. Come on, Canon -- entice me to part with my money!

My old film Rebel was pretty small and light. It had a full-size mirror...

Having just revisited my t3i w/ my daughter, I was really surprised how much I used the tilt swivel screen. I know it makes the build both complex and flimsy(er). I also have the M which I use the touch screen way more often than I though I would.

A flippy touch screen makes off angle much easier, and touch screen is indeed a nice feature.

6D Mark ii with 45 AF points, mostly horizontal for better portraiture composition.

I'd like RAW HDR file output with better DR.

Digital level, touch and swivel screen and another that will help deliver superb landscape photographs.

Here's a silly one, tell me what you guys think:

Internal hypo focal distance calculator that will create a horizontal line, indicating the focus point, for which ever lens is attached.

I chose other. I would like to see one of the following in no particular order:
  • Full frame rebel based on current 6D sensor stuck in a rebel body.
  • Landscape oriented high MP Camera at a reasonably price. (No 1D for me I will never buy a camera that is that big.)
  • Serious mirror-less M entrant with A6000 competitor.

I think if canon releases a high MP camera there is no need to immediately release a 5D IV. I also do not think that the 5D IV needs to be a high MP camera. I expect the 5D IV to have Canon's dual pixel CMOS AF and keep around the same MP.

I think that Sony and Canon are looking at longer release cycles for their top of the line cameras. Nikon seems to be throwing things at the wall to see what sticks.

It is so easy to wish for things that violate the laws of physics. I voted for a 5D4. I'd like a modest improvement in high ISO noise, increased DR at low ISO, the AF from the 7D2 for both images and video, 4k (10 bit) video with 4k RAW video on a port, dual CF, and the same LP-E6/E6N batteries.

I like this. I would also like to add light meter averaging and SBR calculations. Focus peaking and such.

That, in my opinion, would be some really great additions that are more CPU focused.

There are a lot of photo aids that could be added that could.. uh.. well.. aid the photographer. :)
