Canon R5 and R6 are announced yesterday.

I do not think that Canon would release something like 7D, which has FF-like body but APSC sensor. However, I believe that Canon would continue M5 or M6 lineup for their APSC market. We had M5 first and M6 later. Now We have M6mk2, but not M5mk2 yet. Some users like me are still waiting for M5mk2. I believe even some M6mk2 users h that M6mk2 would be upgraded at some points.

If you want something from a successor to M5/M6, what do you want to see?

DPREVIEW were told directly BY CANON that "the M6II is the replacement for both the M5 and M6". They published this key line when reviewing the M6 II.

As for those thinking about moving to the R system, it's only as good as its lenses. That means spending a LOT of money to use the right lenses. It's MUCH larger and MUCH heavier and MUCH more expensive. Pick your poison.

Good grief the hood on that 85 MM lens looks bigger than the M6 +32mm combined ! Not an ideal pairing for a comparison as there are smaller Rf lenses but I accept your point .

When reversed, the good covers a good portion of the lens but not all of it. It comes down around the "85" on the topside of the lens.

It's hard to believe how massive the R is until you This was the fastest RF lens (f/1.2) lens I have compared to the fastest native EF-M lens (f/1.4).  Hence I tend to shoot with them side by side on occasion. Another factor to consider is that I added the Grip Extender to the R body to counterbalance the heavy RF lens. That adds some height but the top-down photograph (above) shows that the bulk of the body of the R camera remains chunky and thick, especially with this lens.  The new R5 & R6 are thicker in the body... presumably to make up for the addition of the IBIS sensor system.

The M6 looks even larger here due to its closer proximity to the lens taking this image.
