Thanks for the responses, it's given me good pause for thought.

I am enjoying the M100 for it's size and quality so no rush to upgrade.

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

I've updated my gear list to show what I've got at the minute.

I find myself using the primes far more than the other lenses. I've been a little underwhelmed by both the 15-45 and 55-200 EF-M lenses (although that may be because I've not been out all that much in these Covid times). I'm tempted to sell enough to get the 22/2 and the 32/1.4 and just enjoy it!

Hmm yeah those 2 ef-m zoom kit lenses are not that great. You don't have any other ef-m lenses. Are you using your 2 primes 24 & 50mm just because you're not happy with the zooms or do prefer primes in general? Are you not using your other efs zoom lenses? What focal lengths do you prefer? You could try the ef-m 22 & 32 as you mentioned...they are nice and & compact but the 22 would be a bit redundant with your 24mm lens.

It's best to get rid of all the gear you're not using...which ones would you keep? If not keeping much then it makes sense just to switch to either Canon R or another apsc manufacturer that has a better range & ongoing support.

1 body & 1 good zoom (or 2) may be all you need.

Good luck 🤞🏼
