Sorry if this bothers you, I tried to find a thread on this forum discussing this but didn't find one. Maybe it has been discussed under other topics or maybe I just couldn't find it. If you could show me, that would be great to see more views too.

I definitely agree that views would be based on their own experience and needs and they should. That's why there's a poll because different people will have different opinions on this.

I wouldn't worry about it. it's going to get asked a TON more times.

it's an often asked question for sure, but there is no right answer.

The real complication is what to do with the 7D. everything else is pretty uncomplicated. But that 7D sure does cause problems.

I think that Canon is going to just hope the 7D goes away quietly, and they don't update or release a new one, unless it's just an EF DLSR.

Some light reading material - this was inspired by this thread, so see? every question can have it's worth. I touch on APS-C being on the RF mount a little, but more what to do with the EOS-M with the RF system, and a myth I see perpetuated in dpreview when doing research about how doomed Canon is because the EOS-M and EOS-RF mounts are not compatible.

This one was our original.. WTH is canon doing once the RF mount leaked for real. The interest was pretty impressive, even CNET covered it.

I'm going to probably write another article just really about what you are asking. should canon release an APS-C camera for the RF mount.  I think there's alot to unpack about that specifically.  There's alot of pros and cons to it when you start to drill down. The impact on existing systems, and do you make an infrastructure for just one camera body?

So no, don't feel bad about bringing up questions. If anything, I'm a little selfish personally because it sometimes gives me ideas on things to write about. So thanks!
