I thought you appreciated staying on a subject. Guess not. If you are always this delicate, it might be time to disconnect from the internet.

Another add I would include is one across all cameras. Have more than 4 digits for file numbering. This causes me issues on most of my shoots.

Well, if super high-tech systems like air traffic control and high-grade military weaponry still need floppy disks, it makes perfect sense that fancy cameras would be limited to DOS 8.3 filename conventions. Lol.

it's scary right? Let me tell you about mainframes running software from the 70's currently active in most major banks...

I realize the comment was meant humorously but the real question would be what file system to put on memory cards. The file system for a hardware device that needs to be supported out of the box on Windows, macOS and Linux would have to be formatted in either exFAT or FAT32 since those two Microsoft file formats are the only ones supported natively on all three operating system families.
Both FAT32 and exFAT support long file names.
FAT32 is free from licensing fees but is limited to 4GB so it's not viable for cameras these days.
exFAT doesn't have that size limitation but requires paying a licensing fee to use on any product.

You shoot more than 9,999 frames in a single shoot? (Cameras skip 0000, so there are not 10,000 possible combinations with 4 digit numbers.)

Yes, I routinely shoot 14k+ images at an all-day track and field event and have shot more than 10k at an all-day motorsports event.

Even without shooting through the full 4 digit roll in a day, it seems a low effort QoL upgrade to allow 5 digit file name.
It's not a big problem but personnally, when traveling, I have to use a renamer software regularly to change the file name to include the day of shooting and avoid duplicate number between the start and end of the trip. There are workarounds but it would be nice to not having to think of that

That's a beautiful suggestion. Love it. Especially when some bodies have a LCD-based mode selector, displaying names would be sooooo easy to implement...
Also allow for different file naming schemes or folders depending on the custom mode so two people can shoot with the same body and we can clearly attribute the photos afterwards. Tried it on the R5II and the naming scheme seems to be a global setting.
It's not AI-based, though, so it probably gets dismissed....

I hope the R5 III has the following features:
1. The LCD screen can be pulled out, flipped up and down, and supports multi-angle rotation
2. Pre-shooting longer than 2 seconds
3. External SSD recording to reduce overheating (new optional handle: handle that can install SSD)
4. Download or upload color files
5. AI skin beautification, with adjustable correction intensity
6. Skin color processing function, which can be set to display a pull-out skin color change bar on the left or right side of the LCD screen (or click the skin color button to select the corresponding skin color), which is visible when browsing. Click the button next to the function to turn this function on or off

Better you than me. I used to shoot around 4K images a day at high school marching band competitions, but they went straight to JPEG and memory card runners raced the images to the sales booth after each band performed so they would be playing on the screen in the sales booth as the parents left. I didn't have to cull anything. I also couldn't shoot garbage frames.

The software I use to import from camera to computer automatically creates folders for each calendar day based on the EXIF 'original date created' tags. I have custom file names set in each camera. Instead of IMG_xxxx, the images from my 5D Mark IV are MC54xxxx, the images from my 5D Mark III are MC53xxxx, from my 7D Mark II are MC72xxxx. Even if there is overlap in file sequence numbers between different camera bodies, there is no duplication of file names and no dreaded IMG_xxxx_1 file names for the second image to be imported with the same sequence number.
After culling, editing, and sequencing them for delivery to clients and for posting on my website and to social media albums I batch change the names to YYMMDDxxxx[Original file name] where YYMMDD is a six digit date and xxxx is a four digit sequence number. When I batch convert from raw to JPEG I add xR at the end of the file name which indicates high or downsized resolution. If I do a color and monochrome version of the same image, the monochrome version gets an "mc" at the end of the file name. HDR images get "hdr" at the end. Monochrome HDR images get an "hdrmc" at the end.
So the high resolution version of an image taken with my 5D Mark IV on April 12, 2025 with in camera file name of MC546423 that I select as the first image of my output becomes 2504120001MC546423HR.JPG, the low resolution version of the second image in the sequence, MC720351 from my 7D mark II, becomes 2504120002MC720351LR.JPG. If I have multiple events or sub groups on the same day, the first one gets sequential numbering beginning with 0001 in the 7th-10th spaces, the next group starts with 0101 (or 0201 if the first event had more than 100 finished images), then 0201, 0301, etc. Sometimes I'll skip if there are only 3-4 different subgroups: 0001, 0201, 0401, 0601, etc. If there are a lot of images in each subgroup I'll go from 0001 to 1001, but I like to keep at least one zero between the six digit date and the rest of the sequence number when I can.

It's easy peasy. Each user keeps a different memory card. Add a prefix or suffix when importing each card's contents to your computer.

serious question... how do you review such a high number of stills?
I assume that you are doing a lot of bursts but what would be the number of keepers/images shared after such a day of shooting?
