A few things I’d love to see Canon come out with this release cycle

A hard press of the shutter button having some options would be incredibly handy. Like 7fps burst but when hard pressed it would switch to 40fps. Or just it would turn on servo. Or continues shooting.
That would make me switch systems.

Its great to see that the R5ii and R1 will be able to be robbed. zero security features!
Totally agree. Security features were completely absent from the feature lists that Canon didn’t announce. The ability to brew coffee was also omitted from the non-announced features. Canon is doomed.

Your cave misses you. Or is that your mom’s basement? Same, same.

So true man... hey at least hope you have insurance. But of course insurance is only half the battle... when you get robbed and you have insurance, everyone pays. Devices that are too easy to steal are basically a liability for all of us

Anything appreciated, esp. for zero additional bucks - which is not likely to happen.
But what do you expect? Iris/face/fingerprint ID? In-grip DNA ID?

Whatever - It must work in an instant!
Because I don't want to miss the bald eagle or the kingfisher passing by because I need 30 sec to insert my password on a touch keypad.

Oh no there is no way we can do it so why even bother right?

God with you people around we wouldn't even have cameras, I swear.

Why so sarcastic?
What is your ideal solution?
How do you keep your iPhone or PowerBook from beeing robbed and reset to factory setting?

I didn't say "bovine scat". I just don't see any solution really working on any other device.
Do you? If yes, as I said: "Anything appreciated!"

Oh, I know one solution:
[sarc mode]
Bolt it to your hand! Not my solution.

You forgot to mention "affordable" weather sealed primes, you know, it doesn't have to be 300 bucks but sub-1000?

Also that Panasonic S9 looks very good, maybe an R9 competitor? That and the 28mm F2.8 and we're good.

I wonder if the R5ii could replace the R5c with an active cooling grip. Dual menus, fully remappable buttons and allow IBIS to be switched off could be an efficient option.

Internal ND can also be useful for long exposures ie seascapes. Darker NDs are generally used with 5 stop being the normal one and fun with 10 stops (or more). 3 stop would be a minimum though. I've even used NDs for night very long exposures. this one was a stack of 17 shots of 3-4minutes so about an hour of acquisition time during the Sydney Vivid light festival. The colours are from boats in the harbour that change based on geo points within the harbour.

Would the haptic feedback re-introduce shutter shock?
That depends on the implementation, if Canon uses something like the haptic engine found in the the new Apple Pencil Pro, the vibration won't travel through the body. If they use something like the buzzer from a Nokia 3310, the earthquake alert in the area will get triggered.
