Doesn´t the R5mkii miss the IBIS high-res feature? Or was it just not advertised? I could imagine Canon implementing it at some point for the R5mkii and maybe give it an upgrade such as RAW output.

It doesn't have the IBIS multishot thing, during launch Canon said that using 'AI' to upres a JPEG in-camera is much better. While I thought the IBIS multishot was a gimmick, the AI upres thing is even more useless if I want more detail in a static scene.

thx for the information. It is kind of weird relying on AI here when you can easily take several shots and combine them.
I agree with IBIS high Res being a gimmick. In three months with the R5 I haven't even tested it yet.

I think this is one of the features that get better over time. I do find it a better implementation than the pixel-shift. We'll see how it progresses though.

Would be a really nice upgrade to have the ability to constrain eye detection to an area smaller than the entire image; I have been shown that the A1 does this. For small birds in foliage I would like to be able to constrain eye detection to a single point. As the R5m2 stands now, I can focus on the bird with spot AF, but often when I press eye detect, the camera detects something else in the frame--leaf, bark--rendering the bird out of focus.

Would be great if Canon added some customization options to the buttons such as precapture on/off and FPS boost and eye control improvements. Other than that... that body rocks. Holy moly.

You can build a workaround for fps boost.
I have set the drive mode to H in 15fps per Default and set the dof Preview Button to engage the H+ for 30fps as long as it's held down.

I love the common trend to throw in the term "AI" when they really mean it's a simple algorithm. It's like "turbo" in the 80's. I think even my coffee machine had a "Turbo" in it's title inthe 80's....

I'd like it if the sensor could re-map to exclude hot pixels. My R5 ii has a couple hot pixels in the EVF which are visible while shooting above ISO 5000. It seems like it was able to re-map for the LCD as at first the same two hot pixels were visible there too in live view, but that seems to have fixed itself over the last few weeks. The EVF has not changed though. Doesn't appear visible in final image as Adobe seems to be removing them.

“worthwhile feature update or two”
I code as a day job. It'd 100% make sense that they had a 'wish list' of stretch goal features, and disabled any that weren't ready at launch. These are unlikely to be 'new' features but rather work that wasn't complete and tested earlier. After launch, they'd be finishing these up and addressing bug reports as they come in.

You can do this. I use a small flexible zone with Eye Detection set to Auto and it will lock on the eye and only track the eye within the zone. Also, you can set the AF area to Spot AF and have Eye Detection set to Auto and it will detect the eye of a small bird at the AF Spot location and not track it throughout the entire frame.

Combining spot AF with spot metering is all I'm wishing for. This would be a very useful addition in complex lighting situations.

You may need to get a 1-series DSLR to fulfill that wish. In theory, on a MILC Canon could spot meter anywhere in the frame. But it seems they did not implement that typical 1-series feature in the R1.
