Not holding my breath. but they have been doing things they never did before: the RF 100-400, a “consumer” lens that covers a coveted range, and for the first time they have provided extenders that work on a “consumer” lens. They have released a 600 and an 800mm lens, both under $1000. So who knows…of course, moaners gonna moan!

RF-S.... deja vu/fool me twice, shame on me

Yeah, they don’t count!
But not the many, many happy Ef-m shooters who don’t care and don’t even hear the moaning.
They should enjoy those other options while they can.
Hmm, I’m pretty convenience focused, and I love my iPhone cameras, but I haven’t abandoned ILCs.
Better get your preorder in!

You can use RF-S on FF cameras. They will work properly because the mount signals to to change the field of view to match the lens. I do not think the labeling written on the lens is very important. It is nice the have for FF cameras to adapt to the lens types automatically. Not a huge deal it is nice. I have both EF-S, EF and RF lenses and I sometime using my EF-S lenses on the FF camera. They are cheap small and light lenses in comparison with the others.

Any 1 of the 3 would make me happier (and less interested in whether other pastures are greener next year) about M
a bigger EVF, that is like R or Z5 (not RP) sized EVF The R7 has somewhat higher magnification but not higher resolution than M system EVFs The R10 sounds like an M EVF I’d like a little bigger more detailed view for my older eyes
a native compact tele zoom with IS, to 300mm or so More like 100-400RF than 100-400EF
either focus shift/stack or IBIS, the former if useable with m and adapted EF.
only my 2 cents. The in lens IS is pretty good and may be what keeps M bodies nice and compact

Beef?
I have the Canon RF 16 2.8, 35 1.8, 50 1.8, 24-105 4-7.1 & 100-400 5.6-8. All are really good for their price range. Really the only major thing missing from the affordable lenses is an inexpensive UWA zoom. They also make the RP, a $1K FF camera that's very capable.
RF APSC is all of one day old so it's really pointless to gripe about the lack of RF-S APSC lenses at this point (although that won't stop many).
If one wanted to make a quick 3 zoom RF APSC kit one would just buy an R7/10 with one of the kit lenses, an EF-R adapter, and then add a EFS 10-18 & 55-250 both of which can be found really cheap used or for reasonable prices new. Both are very good lenses and would hold one over until their RF counter parts appear.
In reality the only maker to ever really fully support APSC is Fuji and that is because they don't make a FF camera line.

Has any Canon mirrorless been as rugged as it's DSLR counterpart?
Unified mount.
Shared parts bin.
Lower cost.
A lot of reasons really. These cameras are not for me, but I can see the potential with Canon replicating everything over from M.
Designs are butt ugly, so they need to hire a Jon Ivy or someone that takes aesthetics seriously.

Probably more so due to the lack of all the mechanics needed to move the mirror. Just my opinion since there really isn't any data on this.
I'll take butt ugly IF it means better performance. But I'm not hopeful for those two kit zooms.

Well, the RF mount is the same diameter as the EF mount. And if the 14-35 is an example of what a "corrected" lens can do, well, I'm in. It's an excellent lens.

Hell, I'd be happy with any APS-C body that could do 10 bit 4K internally. My EOS R could do it, but I wasn't happy with Canon's lens choices. So buying into RF-S would be idiotic for me.

I am having difficulty as well understanding who is the customer here. I was excited for rumors suggesting professional camera with crop stacked sensor but it did not materialize. Will wait and see what Fuji presents but the M43 options for wildlife and video look increasingly attractive.
Yawn.
I can tell by your screen name that you are hangry. After you have something to eat you will feel better and no longer want to troll the Canon forums.
Yes, it is hard to figure out … unless you consider the obvious answer: People who want a crop camera for the RF mount.
Beats me. Even more bummer I preorded the R7 with 18-150mm here in Canada. The R7 is going to sing and dance with the 100-500. Oh that makes it 800mm I think. And a lovely backup to my R6 + 14-35 and 24-70 all L lenses? No maybe what's the point seriously. It beats me.

I am continuously amazed that people give Canon a pass for charging them more for less, but whatever.
I want it for free. I am unhappy it's not free.

There are two advantages I can see for the Canons over M4/3: AF and IQ. Lenses, well, if they make what you need it ends there. But the combination of an R7 and 100-500 RF L lens for sports and wildlife looks really tempting.

I can see the point of RF-S lenses *if* the quality is there, and they are small and light. Not everyone needs to lug around lenses designed for a FF sensor.
