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?

they likely don't tip their hand because they want folks to buy RF

we can only hope they circle around down the road to build m5II with IBIS and EFCS

if they did - and siggy releases the 18-50 for m, -- I'd sell my RP

but that may be exactly what they don't want to have happen - because of lost RF lens sales to siggy lens sales on a very advanced future m 18-50, 16, 30, 56

it will be interesting to see if sony lets their apsc die because of these siggy lenses in favor of their sony ff

They just did.

Perhaps they’ve been dying, and Sony just pulled the plug?

Sony is not "pulling the plug" on APS-C. The A5100 and A6100 are discontinued. Sony also discontinued a couple of A7 models. The A6400, A6600, and ZV-E10 are simply on hold due to parts shortages. Sony is simply prioritizing the higher margin models.

Most of the M50 II options are out of stock. Does that mean Canon "pulled the plug" on the M system?

How long will that “hold” be? Sony didn’t say. An indefinite “hold” is “pulling the plug”. The parts shortage just gave Sony a convenient out to do what they wanted without backlash.

Of the many things the pandemic has claimed, what has come back? It’s been a convenient excuse to make unpopular business decisions whether it be Costco supreme pizza getting cut, or animal travel on airplanes (snakes on planes anyone? That’s a half joke).

Canon may have supply vs demand problems, but they haven’t ceased production.

There’s restaurants up the road from me that still have “temporarily closed” signs up… Over a year later.
