That's basically an M200 + viewfinder +flip all directions screen + hot shoe. Maybe Canon was able to sqeeze out a little more AF sensitivity by better software...... But it won't be as nice as the 32Mp sensor.....

deal or no deal = No Deal

+2 Dang. For me no 32 MP = No Deal.

It's going to be a fine camera for a lot of (other) people though. Note: I acknowledge that my own use case (macro) is very limited!

Nokishita just saved me $1000 for sure!

What a "joke" of an upgrade. I think it's time to seriously think of my mirrorless future - the M6II is so nearly the perfect camera for me but being an EVF fan and a flash user means its' a non-starter so what do I do. Bulky expensive Fuji, competitive with the hideous user-interface or just keep the M50 and cheer myself up by buying a 100-400 for my sports photography!

Waited sooooo long for this - Canon you're losing us..

what exactly were you expecting? I mean you are currently using a sub-$700 camera, $800 with the kit lens.

M6II with built-in EVF is what I was hoping - is that such a ridiculous request? The price of my M50 is as relevant to your argument as the price of my 5DIII. Have you asked me what I am willing to pay for such a camera before you judged me? For the record €1000 is a reasonable price that I would be willing to pay for body-only maybe more for more improvements ...

M50 with 32Mp, no IBIS could easily cost 1300 euro. M5mkII + IBIS would set you back 1600 euro.

yikes

The reality is Canon wants you to switch to the RF mount. And the reality is you as a dpreview forummember are willing to pay for high level performing small cameras, but the majority of customers wants to have it, but doesn't want to pay that price.

true

So Canon isn't going to make M more sexy, and you actually have to switch to RF if you want more. And if the new RF 50mm f/1.8 will give IQ as good as the RF 85mm f/2.0 it might be worth it. It's time to sell stuff.

ouch

m is over for advanced members

It can't be "over" if it never started.

I’d say it was on the cusp

Could advanced users make the M system work for them? Yes.

it took the Oct 2019 release of the sigma trio to give it cusp hope

Has Canon ever built the types of M system bodies and lenses that would typically be targeted to advanced users? No.

the 32 was the one gem, but it took the sigma trio and m6II to put them on the cusp

and now we want more from them to elevate it for widespread advanced users all of which is technically capable and great for small size and all we get is deflated expectations and little hope

sad
