See link below, the M50 and MK2 make it on the list 4 times, both cameras in black and white.

Why would they stop making them?

[s]Because most camera buyers buy at least 15-20 lenses for an ILC and M only offers 7. Without a couple of new releases annually, these sales really don’t matter. So clearly it’s a dying mount that Canon has no further interest in. [/s]

ERRR no only folk on forums like DPR buy a heap of lenses ...the average jo public buys 1.5 lenses ...this is simple to calculate as some yeas ago canon announced they had sold 1 million EF mount bodies and 1.5 million EF lenses

as most pro and enthusiasts buy more lenses but most enthusiasts buy the higher-end bodies ,,,so folk who buy the M50 the rebels and Nikon D3xxx probably 90% never take the kit lens off

The little [s] indicates sarcasm I think? Later in the thread I make the same point you made. 👍

Well know about at least two EOS 5D* owner which bought M50 but I am def in the minority...

But in facebook forums I get the feeling that people are making the jump from M50 straight to R6.
