What is your Canon wish list ?

I like a global shutter...that being a sensor upgrade
I like a electronic shutter...or something that is truly silent...hate shooting high speed with a group and it sounds like a bunch of machine guns going off scaring the animals away.
the latest cards in duo...memory cards change as well as speed...why hold us back

You mean a 12-13 mp sensor in a modern 5D, not the original surely !? I still have a 5D, and when using the latest raw converters it's pretty good. Love the small file sizes, but imagine an up-to-the-minute 13 mp sensor with a QE in the region of 65% and massive saturation capacity - a la a7sII. Now that would be interesting for someone who tends to shoot landscapes as stitched panoramics.

An epic new 50 f1.0 L
A 100mm f1.4 with the same exact IQ like the Zeiss 100 mp, but with great AF as well.
200 f1.8 that is at least as great as the current f2 in every way.
I realize my house needed to go for this, but hey, I have tent also.

Definitely alone. I just bought a 100-400L (old) using my 200/2.8L II as part of
payment. Found the 200/2.8 to always be slightly to long or way too short and
you can't really zoom with your legs with that kind of focal length.
Slightly more on-topic: wouldn't it be nice if Canon added IS to all new lenses?

I'll play;
1. Individually illuminated LED focus boxes like my original 5D and bodies up to and including the 1D MKIV. It was great to see Canon put this feature back in the 1DX MKII and I was hoping against hope this would find its way on to the 5D MKIV but sadly it wasn't to be. If the only improvement to the MKV is this addition then I'm in! I'd even stump up the extra for a MK4.5
2. When releasing new cameras please, please include current & up-to-date transfer protocols such as the latest USB and CF/SD card specs. I think Canon has been badly behind the curve adopting the latest protocols.
3. Please put the +/- magnify buttons back on the shoulder of the camera where they were for years. Oh and while you're at it please give us the ability to map any function to any button so that those of us who want to map the +/- buttons onto the AE Lock/AF Point Selection buttons can do so! Illuminated buttons would just be the icing on the cake.
4. Built-in RF for Speedlite control instead of using the ST-E3-RT. And talking of the ST-E3-RT please put the IR pre-flash/AF assist beam back in. Thank you!
5. A more robust 50mm f/1.whatever lens instead of the fragile, twice repaired 50mm f/1.4 version that has been around for far too many years now. Even better would be an L IS version with a maximum aperture of at least f/1.4
6. More Custom Settings. An additional C4-C9 should fit on the Mode dial on my MKIV anyway. Why limit the rotation at A+ going clockwise and C3 going anti-clockwise? Not that I can fill up C1-C3 unless I really put my mind to it but all that empty space doing nothing...
I can think of more but that will do for starters...

Lens wise:
1) I'm saving for the EF 16-35mm f/2.8L USM mkIII
2) EF 50mm f/<2.0 IS USM
3) EF 85mm f/<2.0 IS USM.
4) EF 135mm f/<=2.0 IS USM
Camera wise:
1) Dump the CF slot in the 5DmkV, have dual SD slots.
UHS-II full duplex is >90% as fast as UDMA 7, and and v90 SD cards are already in the market. By the time the 5DmkV is out there, I hope UHS-II can fully replace CF.
2) AF point linked AE. The EOS 3 had it. The Powershot G series has it. It would be nice if the 5DmkV had it.
3) Backlit buttons.
I know my camera requirements are modest. I rarely shoot video, resolution is beyond my needs, and I might actually downgrade to a 7DmkII/III

You're not alone, just probably in the minority.
I've wondered how well the 135mm f/2L takes a 1.4x extender. My pure speculation is that IQ would hold up "good enough" but maybe AF speed would be lost? Anyone with experience?

Two or three bodies
5D with the sensor (or updated sensor) that is in the A7R II. I don't need 50+ MP but better dynamic range would be nice.
Cropped sensor in a 1D style body
APS-H 1D body again (no change - but I can wish).
Lenses
600 F4 DO possibly with drop in 1.4
