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.
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. 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.
I recently did "SELL STUFF" - most of my FF gear for something small and practical. Going back up in size is going against my aim. Why would M50/32mp plus built-in EVF cost 1300? This combo is what many of us wanted here - call it M5II, M7 or even M6III it's not a tall order and that would define the ultimate "M" in my opinion. IBIS is not a necessity for me.
In that case the time might have come to pick your compromize and just order the M6mkII + external EVF. I know you want the internal EVF, but i think Canon is not going to marry that one to a 32Mp sensor anytime soon. I don't have a crystal ball, and i hope I'm wrong, but the M5 came first and the M50 came later. The M50 gets replaced, the M5 is just discontinued. It seams to me you are waiting for the replacement of a discontinued model.
Even if Canon improve on the RP's features and performance (the largest camera I would consider size-wise) the price of RF glass makes it ridiculously expensive to (re)build a system with 3-4 lenses as I did on the M relatively cheaply.
In that case it might be time to accept the external evf. You could try to get a used M6mkII + evf. In case a more preferable model suddenly appears you can just sell it again without a big loss.
Or you just keep shooting what you have. Nothing wrong with that.
it's about the glass first
on sale, the RF 24 -105 f4 IS L is best ever 24-105. He knows this zoom range from wedding days
the RP is good enough to deploy this great glass - and it is small enough for this great range. $1749 at xmas time. Combine it with the great $599 RF 85 F2 IS. Then the RF 14-35 F4 IS L someday. Landscape., Portrait and all -around. Not that heavy for powerful rig
