I'm exciting to see Fuji X-T3. Rumor saying that its a 20fps camera, a mini $4000 Sony A9 for less than $1300?
then I"m curious about Canon FF Mirrorless Mount.
Will Canon abandon its APS-C EOS-M mount?
or will canon try to Squeeze in FF into EOS-M's 47mm throat diameter?
(Possible, since Sony cramp a FF sensor into E-mount with 46mm throat)
or will Canon wisely abandon EOS-M?
So many question, so few answer.

Leica Q2 ... Clearly the one everybody wants.

Whichever way Canon go, they will have to allow FF Mirrorless lenses to work on EF-M. As far as I see it that means:
-keeping with EF which is wider than EF-M (the downside is you can't shrink the lenses, but then small lenses are what EF-M is for)
-using EF-M (don't get the advantages of a bigger throat)
-using a new mount (the only way I can see them doing this is if there is some sort of adapter you can put on the lenses to use on EF-M, but then that will surely mean they will need to increase the flange distance over EF-M).
But yeah, it will be interesting to see what they come out with.

Just a few.
I'd like to see a Canon APS-C M series with weather sealing and IBIS and a larger body.
The Canon 90D with DIGIC 8 processor.
A new version of Panasonic's G85 with the 20 MP sensor.
At least one new "bridge" camera.

If not a FF sensor in Canon M, could they fit an APS-H sensor [possibly their 120 MP sensor :-D] in and have their M lenses cover it?

My feeling is that the M series is not long for this world. The mistake all the companies made was to try for small size in their mirrorless lines. It has left Canon with a small lens mount and small grips; so if you adapt something like the 70-300 IS lens it's not well balanced and with nothing to hang onto. The quest for smaller has left m4/3 with a small sensor that struggles over 20 MP. That same thought process lead to the Pentax Q series and the Nikon 1 series. Most of the top end mirrorless have gotten larger and much more comfortable to hold with large lenses.
My hope is that Canon will see the light and stop trying to make their M series as small as they can.

I’m watching for the Sony RX1R III.

EF-M is not a big seller, I suspect Canon will DUMP its restrictive 47mm EF-M mount in favor of a bigger mount. Traditional canon EF lens uses 54mm throat diameter, so I suspect Canon's new mount will maintain the same 54mm throat diameter as its EF mount, but simply makes the flange shorter than 16mm.
While it is POSSIBLE to squeeze FF lens inside Canon 47mm EF-M mount, Canon really isn't that keen on saving users money. Canon has a history of dumping mount when it makes engineering & marketing sense, and I think that IT IS TIME to create a new mount with new thinking.
Apparently it depends on which countries/regions you are talking about. Canon EOS-M cameras are reported to be selling well in Asia {and Europe?}.

I hope more affordable versions of mirrorless might be released soon; something that can do about 24 mp, 4k video, full frame, no AA filter, with high quality lens selection (fast lenses) that I could get the camera itself for less than $1,000. I hope that someone finally incorporates the best features and aspects of all cameras into one so that there can finally be nothing to really miss on a camera. Modern cameras, no matter which brand you buy, you have to sacrifice some aspect that's available on another brand, but no single camera has yet to include all of the aspects that I'd like.

medium format rangefinder with at least 50MP; lightweight; with a ca. fixed 24mm equivalent lens.
No. It's the best selling mirrorless camera in Japan, and probably sells well in Asia too. Asia (excluding Japan) buys more mirrorless cameras than The Americas and Europe combined.
"Canon, which enjoys a large share of the SLR camera market, is holding more hands-on demonstrations and other promotional events for mirrorless cameras in Asia." -Nikkei Asia Review, May 2017
According to Thom Hogan, Canon M is #2 in worldwide mirorless market share.
The next related announcement is rumored to be a EF-M 32mm f/1.4 STM lens.

I'm looking forward to cameras that will replace, and thus drive down the used costs, for a couple of cameras that I am presently awaiting their drop in costs;
The replacement for the OMD EM1.2,
The replacement for the Sony a6500
I'm not actually interested in the replacements. I'm interested in the two cameras I listed above, to get into the $500-800 used range.

I am interested to see what the Canon 7D Mark III will be like. If it has all the features I want, it may have a bearing on whether I stick with full frame or not.
