There is really no need to have dedicated APS-C glass on RF mount if all the bodies are going to have IBIS, Canon has the opportunity to assume they can use all the space of a 35mm sensor for stabilization.

Being limited to ancient tourist zoom glass for a basic kit is going to be a real setback for crop RF. It just doesn't make sense. They will hastily slap together a crappy kit lens, likely just a cheap EF-S or EF-M lens with a built in adapter.

I don't see Canon going to all the trouble of bringing out APS-C cameras in the R system and then not properly supporting them with native lenses.

Still, it would be nice to be able to pair the RF 100-500 to a crop 32Mp sensor.

They will likely be a mix of FF and a few APS-C specific ones. For a 7D replacement I don't think it needs much in the way of crop lenses. Where I think RF-S variants shows up is if a budget friendly Rebel type line is introduced. These are the cameras that will need smaller, lighter weight lenses.

I don't believe this will happen. Two reasons:

- RP, RF 24-105mm stm, RF 35mm IS f/1.8 stm, RF 50mm f/1.8 stm are all compact

- Why on earth would Canon develop new stuff for those who want more compact than the above options when the R&D for the M lenses with the more compact M mount is already spend....

Because the M system is a dead end one. There are millions of DSLR APS-C users that will never buy into the M system but will buy into the R system.

Absolutely. Nonetheless some will go M, because of a smaller size. Not all. But some.  I don't have the numbers. Do you?

Also, most DSLR APS-C users don't care about FF cameras and never will.

They care about cameras. Do they really care about a sensor being..... too big? Is that a problem, to have a bigger sensor?

This is why Canon might develop a Rebel/xxD line of RF mount APS-C cameras.

When aps-c DSLR users are upgrading they may get a 90D this round if the R6 is too pricey, but the next round it will be an R6.
