Hello @gaul.

If may pose your question back to you: "What is it about the future of the M line that concerns you?"

  • The firmware was already updated 2 years ago to support 24fps video;
  • There is an amazing 50mm equivalent prime lens (EF-M 32mm 1.4) available;
  • There is an adaptor available if you want to (re)use EF lenses;
  • Viltrox sells a speed booster if you want "full-frame" look;
  • Sigma sells 3 prime lenses of varying focal lengths to suit our needs;

If your want/need and budget fit this brand and model, then I say go for it. I took the leap 3 years ago and have never looked back.

If your priority is after-sales value, then maybe you are better off looking at other brands' APSC models. That, or just get a pre-loved gear if you're planning on replacing it again later anyway...
