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

Exactly, EF-m needs to go. All Canon needs is EF, EF-s and RF. Eventually just RF.
Why? What is better choise than M-system, if someone wants to buy small, light and cheap mirrorless Canon system?
I'm pretty sure EF-s is the first to disappear...
Well he is advocating for a EF-M mound system but with the RF mount.
Think about the M6II for example, but adjust it to have the RF mount. The mount diameter would grow a bit, so the body would have to be adjusted accordingly and the flange distance would increase a bit. But generally the body should still be relatively small. Lens designs would change a bit (think of the Z crop body designs) resulting in lenses that have a slightly wider barrel for the RF mountain point.
I don't see how such a body would be much more expensive than M. And I don't actually how the lenses would be more expensive either considering it is actually the barrel that would be affected while the optics would virtually cost the same as for M.
So end of the day you have a slightly bigger system, But I don't think by very much. Of course a body with a built in EVF would also be a bit bigger than the M6II
I'd love to buy RF-mounted M6ii with EVF to replace my 7d2. But I would use it only with my RF 70-200, EF 300L / 400L and 150-600C (as long as there is not RF 100-400 or RF 200-600 or smth). I'd also keep my current M-system and use it as I'm using it now - with EF-M lenses (22, 28, 32, 11-22, 18-150) as a small and light system. (I do wish M5ii or M50ii.)
