Go read the Fuji forum. There are several threads full of people freaking out about the R6. The same thing happened when the Z6 launched.

Insecure people who dont know what they want cameras for always freakout when a new camera arrives.

You missed the point. AdamT was suggesting that Canon needs to up their game with crop sensor bodies to compete against Sony and Fuji crop bodies. My point was that Canon is indeed competing against Fuji, but with full frame, not crop bodies. Fuji users have taken notice of the full frame alternatives, but don't give the M system the slightest bit of attention.

Wait a minute! Aren't you a Fuji user?

I own cameras from multiple brands

Judging by the amount of posting you do on this forum, you give the M system pretty much all your attention (unless you have one of those Harry Potter time turners, so you can go back and also post all the time on the Fuji forum).

And as for Canon needing to up its M game to compete with Fuji (as you say AdamT was suggesting), it doesn't matter how many great lenses are available, so long as the ones you need are available. I wouldn't take any Fuji with any number of their great lenses over my M6II and the 4 primes (all EF-M mount) and 2 zooms (1 EF-M, 1 adapted EF) that I use a lot. Others may think differently, but I suspect that Canon is selling plenty of their M cameras. It's always hilarious to read keyboard warriors who are convinced that they know more about marketing and development than one of the biggest and most successful camera companies in the world.

Unit sales of the M system are not the point.  Fuji targets a completely different user group than Canon targets with the M system.  AdamT was suggesting that the M system should be changed to also target the same group of users that Fuji is targeting.  Instead of massive changes to the M system, Canon is already targeting Fuji users with the RF system.
