The EOS R5 will have an electronic shutter capable of an awesome 30 fps. Another interesting piece of tech is the eye-control autofocus. This development will allow you to change the focus point by looking at a different part of the subject on the viewfinder. Incredible. This will of course only be available in stills mode, but it is definitely something we are looking forward to trying out.
