Mirror lock up (through custom button rather than direct print)
and live histogram (would be expensive but worth it)

How about a readout that tells you exactly what your depth of field is in inches from the focus point it is using.

I definately agree about the cutomizable direct print button and ISO in the viewfinder.
But I'd really would like a better handling body and a higher quality feeling battery grip.

1 button press and a wheel? Am I missing something Pete?

Actually I would like a c.fn that allows me to set iso directly with the rear wheel when for example in Av mode, without having to locate the top middle button first. I'm sure I could save up to a second sometimes ;)

A built in lug on the bottom edge of the grip for a side handle strap.

Lets see...

The consensus being.

Print button change this to user feature like MLU via c'fn
ISO in the view finder, how hard would this be we already have it sometimes now. We could make this a c'fn too.

I'd venture to say 99% of the above request could all be handled via a firmware update. Gee, wouldn't it be great if Canon gave us a firmware update for such simple features? Aside from higher frame rates most of these wishes are software related.

Come on Canon, none of these wishes are so large as to stall sales of future DSLRs, show us some love like Nikon does for their SLR owners...
