I think you just nailed why I basically have sold my Fuji setup and why I never bought M6 mk II, there simply isn't any future for crop.

That's interesting. My friend who owns the largest camera retail group in our country sent me an SX10 with a couple of lenses last week when I told him I was planning to stop shooting with the M6II. He said I should try it. And tried I did.

It was not a bad system at all. I was likely too lazy to tinker with the settings etc. The image quality was surprisingly appealing. The colors were lively. The menu and controls were quite very Canon. I felt like if I wasn't invested in Canon lenses, I would have skipped the M6II for it (though yes it was released more than a year later, by comparison).

I'm sure the cropped sensor body will still be around for a long time. Since 2013, I've been shooting FF and cropped. It was almost like an imperative for my "other" camera body to be a cropped one. The RF system makes this assumption quite obsolete for me. I just don't want compromises anymore and focus more on being creative behind the camera. Not coincidentally, I was just asked by IKEA to present a proposal to do cookshop photography for them, as they're preparing to open their largest store in the world in our metropolis in a few weeks. Whether it pushes through or not, I'm all in with the RF system.
