EOS R5 Mark II menu complaint: It's 2025 cannon, not 1990, time to update your menus

I get it, same menu makes it easier for old timers to not have to get used to a new menu when they upgrade their canon cameras over the years. But come on Canon. How about making the menus a bit more intuitive. Or allowing a more graphical option. Everytime I have to dig through the entire camera menu to find a setting I want to change. You guys need to do better. You can definitely win on a lot more new customers by making your setting menus a bit easier to find where a setting is. This camera I have can take God knows how many 8k resolution photos a second, I'm sure it has the computational capabilities to have much nicer and organized menus.

Try this!  Press the [Menu] button to open the menu system.  Now press the [Q] button a few times.

I have to say the menu system in post 2011 so 2012 and later cameras is better than pre-2011 cameras. The color coded menu system makes it easier to identify the correct menu settings. Such as yellow is for memory cards and red is speedlites/ flashes, Green is My Menu, Purple is AF system. This makes it easy for people to understand instead of all of the menus being the same color.
