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.

Manufacturers say lots of stuff at launches of gear Marco . it doesn`t mean they`re bound to stick to it, (otherwise the M5/6 wouldn`t have IBIS and Nikon would never have made a full frame Digital camera at all of any kind ) that statement made to DPR by canon at the time stopped people pestering them 12 Months ago for an M5-II ........

they`ll make anything which is likely to be profitable , including an M5-II , M50-II or whatever if necessary ..

You are correct with what you say....But we know canon are good at not cannibalising their upmarket lines and there are literally millions of canon users using XXD and 7D bodies that canon will try to migrate them to FF R mount as one day the EF line will not exist any more ..so the M5 that is a step up from the M6 so if we had a M5mkii that will be a step up from the M6mkii (which now in operation is equal to the 90D) and will be a good enough camera for the XXD folk and probably for the 7D folk as well.. canon is not going to let them go to the M if they can help it ...that will be for the lower end of the rebel folk.....sooo i think them with the M5 that like/need an EVF will have to look at the M50mkii which will be a good upgrade all-round except in the body/external controls or up the to the lower end R mount ...as i see it as i am a M5 owner with a bag full of FF EF glass as well i can look it the M50mkii or the RP/RPmkii

I am not holding my breath for a M5mkii

There is no argument for FF vs APS-c (or m43) with shallow DOF..as it's a law of physics and a very subjective personal thing if you want to make use of the shallow DOF only FF can offer
