Stop me from buying an M6 Mk ii before Canon stops the M line

In normal times, I’d wait for the replacement.. With high inflation, not so sure..

If I compare to the switch EF -> RF .. look at what happens to exiting EF camera bodies and lenses ..

Same for the G1x Mk iii .. it just stopped being available but there was no price drop ..

on EF bodies and lenses.. thought that some bargains would be everywhere on Canon site.. but no! Not at all

Canon continues to milk their bottom line up to the end .. even increasing prices on old models.. and suddenly discontinue them .. without having to discount these products

I cannot see Canon selling their M6 Mk ii at -50% any time soon..

- - my guess is that they will sell their stocks at list price and suddenly communicate the series is no more continued

- - my guess is that Canon will ask for more 💵 💵 for the proposed replacement…

- - so now is a good time to buy an M6 ii.. IMHO.. before it’s decommissioned

EDIT:

Not bashing Canon at all

But typing on a smartphone and being maybe too straight to the point ..

I am 💯 % Canon actually and like their long-term strategy

My point is a fact (all manufacturers these days choose the low volume high margin approach) .. not an unfair critic .. I hope at least

thx
