Happy new year!

Just wish Canon said something about M and aps-c plans so we knew about the direction they will take. Will they terminate it altogether or what’s going on?

I think it's a fair bet that Canon will do something. Now that something may or may not be what folks around here are looking for. The M50 Mark II (which I have), wasn't exactly what was on most folks wish list for example when it came out. It is however useful and popular. The M6 II is an example of something that is a very good tool, so much so, Sony and Fuji still haven't answered the 32MP sensor, at 14FPS for that matter, or either. One of those two just went the opposite in fact.

In what way? There is a lot more to an image sensor than the number of megapixels. If you do need more megapixels, Sony has an 8k capable crop sensor (40+ megapixels) that should be showing up in new cameras this year. Also, I am pretty sure 26mp X 20fps > 32mp X 14fps.

Happy New Years Nnowak!

Fuji is dependent on Sony tech... Canon isn't.

That 26MP isn't stacked. Nobody can do 20FPS with a mech shutter. So, 15FPS? Nice try.

Oh, btw, on that Sony sensor note, now that Sony has left the APS-C segment, they CAN make more APS-C sensors, however they would only be for Fuji. Nikon has chosen to use the older 20MP FSI tech.

Does Sony have a stacked APS-C CMOS out there in the wings? Canon might beat them to the punch. Oddly as it may seem, Canon will probably get a stacked CMOS APS-C before Fuji does. That's a weird very upside-down thought that's probably true. The R may get it though, the M may or may not. Depends if Canon does another 90D/M6 II like event where they do an R7 and M7. They might. Canon's known to release their APS-C newest fabs prior to FF. An R7 with stacked CMOS in APS-C format would likely precede the upcoming R1 if Canon stays true to form. They may break with tradition though if supply constraints are an issue.

You can tell the direction Canon's going from their statements and particularly the earning reports. The R is presently where things are going. Now I do disagree with that direction, and this is coming from someone who's shot that non-L RF glass. It's just not "fun" enough. It's not small enough. Canon's trying to outdo themselves with the RF format and supercede the M with it. Good luck with that Canon.
