After about a week of this poll being out there and getting some (ok, a lot) of conversation, here's how I'd recap things. It's very clear that there's two different kinds of M users and the approach to "what to do now" is very different between the two -

  1. For a little more than half of the users (57 of 105), the M is their "small" system that goes along with at least one other system - typically a larger one but not always. People here overwhelmingly said they would just keep their current M gear - 51 of the 57! That makes sense to me, because their other system is typically higher end and so they can take that out whenever they need better results in one way or another.
  2. The other half of users (48 of 105) only have the M system for their photography needs. For them they're pretty evenly split between sticking with M because it meets their needs (23 of 48),

or moving to another system to be able to keep it current, get future updates, etc... (25 of 48)

these are the ones that will spend way too much

I wish I could say that I was in the #1 camp, but alas I'm in the #2 camp where the "right answer" for me isn't nearly as clear. I'm certainly looking into moving to another system more than before - either Fuji or full frame R.

I'd like to say "let's see where this goes" over the next 1-2 years and then decide, but I think the thing pushing me to figure this out sooner is actually the availability of new and refurbed M6ii's. Basically, if I'm just going to ride out my M gear for the foreseeable future, I'd want to grab one of those while they're available. But that's also the last thing I'd do if I'm really just going to switch systems.

So.... when is Canon going to make this easy for us and just lay out a roadmap for APS-C?! Sigh....
