What is the #1 improvement or change you are hoping for on the 5D2. Just the #1 change. For me, as I have said before, it would be allow you to move EC to a separate button.
I know others will want faster focus; more megapixels, etc. but I have hit that damn dial too many times and shot at an unintended EC
All jokes aside, if they will make the body a mini version of the MKIII , not having to buy a battery grip that camera on looks alone would be a great seller.
Improved AF. I would be thrilled if they went to like a 20-30pt AF (they probably won't totally cannibalize the 1-series AF) with better placed points.
1-like AF system. without that the body will be almost a pointless update over a 5D or used 1DsmkII (and will take a beating in the market for sure)
$3500 implies pro, perfect AF system not some "like a rebel" system (with a couple of hidden points near center only with f/2.8 lenses)

I just want the IQ of the original 5D with all of the features of my 40D. (menus, sensor cleaning, 6.5 FPS, but with an added bonus of ISO 6400.) That would make me happy. I'm more than happy with the AF of my 40D. Why have 6.5 FPS on a camera designed for portraits and landscapes you ask.......Because I want to shoot sports with it also. I would love to have sports photos with the 5D IQ.

Better AF and faster FPS,5 or better hopefully if possible
Better High ISO performance
Live view
14 bit
16 MP
Some sort of true auto ISO for times lighting is changing too fast to adjust
Better battery life along the lines of the MarkIII
Better LCD
Oh yeah,I forgot...better quality control so we don't have to deal with anymore MarkIII like problems
Self cleaning sensor
Better AF
Brighter LCD
