Would you want an APS-C camera with an RF mount?

Most ppl here answer the wrong question - it is not about replacing an M mount, but to add an RF APS-C model.

Guys, if you are all worried abou the size and claim that the size matters, what chance do you give to those, wishing for a 7D III in its eventual mirrorless form? Ergonomics wise, it has to be bigger than your M sized camera anyway. Hence an RF mount based APS-C model makes a lot of sense imo.

What you also seem to forget is, that there is basically no upgrade path with your M mount. Yes, so far, you can still use EF lens, but how long will Canon release their new versions? Also - once you go RF way, you simply can't use that lens on an M mount. There's so many ppl out there imo, who used such an advantage in the DSLR world, our studio included  ....
