Not gonna happen, unfortunately. But hey, the RP will always offer better IQ, anyway, so when you change systems there will be that upshot 😆

Not always... It depends what are you shooting and what are you doing with your pics...

It will. Whether it matters to you is something else, but the superior technical quality of larger sensors is undeniable - especially with Canon, where the 35mm systems get the absolute best lenses, and those same lenses often produce lesser results on APS-C.

Yes, if shooting in low light and printing large or pixel peeping, or if you want thinner DOF, FF is the winner. But if you are doing "only" small prints or resized pics for web, you propably won't see the difference. (I have also FF.)

We have been telling this forum for months now: EF-M is a dead mount walking. It won't happen tomorrow, or next month, but its deprecation is coming, and if the RP is a huge success, it'll happen sooner than expected.

Do you think those who are shooting now with Mxx + 11-22mm or xxxxD + 10-18mm, are happily going to RP + EF or RF 16-35mm?

No, but they will jump for a better APS-C RF body with compact lenses. Especially once all development for EF-M is cut, and people start to panic.

Many of "them" have bought the M-system because it's small, light and cheap and still produces great pics. I doubt Canon can make as small, light and cheap bodies and lenses as M100, M50 and EF-m lenses in R-line. Do you think?

Personally, I hope Canon would make great, fast and weather sealed RF-mounted aps-c body + RF 100-400mm / 200-500mm / 500mm f5.6 IS. I hope the body would be the same size as original R. I would change my 7d2 to that (if it's worth it). But I wouldn't panic or ditch my M-stuff (M50, 11-22mm, 18-150mm, 22mm, 28mm, 32mm) to "equivalent R-stuff", because I'm happy with them in my use.

I believe Dslrs + EF-s and EF-lenses will be discontinued in the future (I'm sure we won't see any new EF-s lens in the future). But M-cameras will stay as a small and affordable system for those, who don't want to buy bigger, heavier and more expensive FF/R-system.

No, they won't, because EF-M represents the worst of all worlds - a mount that is wholly incompatible with RF, that has a tiny market share penetration in comparison with EF and EF-S, that stems from the Powershot division, that has a truncated and limited system, and that has served to be a testbed for Canon to find out exactly what do customers want in an entry-level mirrorless camera. Armed with this knowledge, Canon can now replicate their same success with RF mount, and consolidate their offerings around a single mount.

I'm going to change my FF dslr to some R-body (when Canon gives me better eye AF and more fps in servo). But I'll keep shooting with that "worst of all worlds - a mount that is wholly incompatible with RF, that has a tiny market share penetration" and not worry about the mount, because it's fun system to shoot and have with you, and it produces great pics. 😊
