Re: Future of Canon M Series - Invest or Sell?

Last year I managed to pick up a bargain M100 along with the standard zoom lenses. I'm enjoying using the camera enough that I'm planning to sell my 70D and start saving towards a FF mirrorless setup. At the minute I'm mostly using adapted EF-S glass with the camera and although it adds bulk I'm happy enough with it.

Seeing the suggested roadmap forward for Canon lenses, I'm concerned about the support of the M series moving forward. Obviously the focus is on the RF system.

Is it worth investing in more M glass? Should I be steering clear and trying to sell my M lenses before they lose value - if they will?

Thanks

It's impossible to give any advice. You should tell us about what lenses you need and what lenses you have.

In general:

M is for portability, and works best with the ef-m 11-22mm, 32mm sigma 16,30,56mm f/1.4. There's no bright or otherwise stunning standard zoom.

You should go RF for low light shooting (sensor stabilization and clean results at higher ISO values), and if you like a good standard zoom. Make sure you spend some budget at some bright primes at least, otherwise the high ISO advantage is kind of wasted.

I love 50mm (equivalence)
