Future of Canon M Series - Invest or Sell?

The EOS M was always intended to be a compact system but with access to the whole range of EF and EF-S lenses. That's why there will always only be a limited range of EF-M lenses. There's precious little point in Canon bringing out any EF-M lenses longer than 250mm because they would either be too slow if they kept within the 61mm diameter of all their EF-M lenses so far, or they wouldn't be significantly smaller or cheaper than the EF lenses that are already available. Fast lenses are relatively very expensive; an f/1.4 EF-M lens is equivalent to an f/2.2 FF lens. Canon have made a 32mm f/1.4 EF-M lens which is excellent, but at four times the price of the nearly equivalent EF 50mm f/1.8 or twice the price of the RF 50mm f/1.8, it ought to be better than them, as it is said to be. FF is the way to go if you want to reduce noise in low light or have minimal depth of field, but it's bulky and generally heavier compared with EOS M.

The EF-M 11-22mm is another excellent lens that, for me, justifies the whole EOS M system. The 28mm macro is another sharp lens with a more normal field of view, which also gives you the chance to shoot bugs and tiny flowers on your landscape walkabouts. I've mentioned the 32mm and there are also the Sigma f/1.4 primes to consider. I like my Samyang 8mm f/2.8 rectangular fisheye and find I use it far more than I thought I would, see https://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/64785280

The EOS M cameras are designed for fun, everyday photography and work really well alongside Canon's DSLR or R series cameras. I already had an FF cameras when I bought my first EOS M. I certainly wouldn't advise selling your M50 if you could possibly buy an FF camera without doing so.

Agree 100%
