I am excited about the new Canon EOS R, and hopefully they will resolve the continuous Eye-AF tracking with a firmware update as posted by CR. I am curious what you folks feel the second body (that is expected to be announced in the coming months???) going to look like in terms of features and ergonomics as a still photography camera?
Do you feel/guesstimate any of these features are highly likely/unlikely to make its way into the next body based on past releases, and articles/patents posted related to Canon mirror-less camera system, and given current market and competition like that of Nikon/Sony (Z7 and A7R III)?
1) Joystick like 5D3/5D4?
2) Same AF system as the first body?
3) Faster AF/Eye-AF processing than the first body?
4) Second SD card slot?
5) Wheel (like the 5D3/5D4) on the back of the camera instead of the direction pad like the first body?
6) Higher or lower mega-pixel sensor?
7) IBIS ?
8) Additional dial or replace the on/off dial with something more useful (i personally feel that was a big waste of precious real-estate).
9) Same body as the first one, slightly modified (better sealing) and or slightly beefier?
10) $3100-3200 price point?
I am still using my 5D3 and surely going to switch to and order the EOS R or the second one (if it has significant difference in terms of ergonomics).
