No bad in that it is APS-C system. If Canon just releases a couple of EFM bodies for another three years, its lifespan will become the same as Canon DSLR!

New bodies require tooling and investment. Not as simple as keeping an existing line going. Canon will sell M bodies until it doesn't make financial sense or they have replacement products. We will know more next week.

Electronics are normally made in batches. Canon discontinuing the M6ii in Japan signifies that the line has ended. There will be no more production runs unless some miracle comes around and there is a massive uptick for that body.

Tooling has shifted and the chips will be directed to the new bodies. Discontinuing the flagship says something. No more development in that mount, just like the 1DXiii getting canned.

The 90d has a long lead time as well. 3 months for the kit! Canon doesn't have many of those 32mp sensors.
