What do you plan to do with you M gear?

I look at this survey result with interest mainly because it tells me how the forum members utilize their m system. The results suggest majority use the m with another presumably canon full frame ef or rf system, as enthusiasts or working pros. I myself am an enthusiast and have only used the m6ii along side my cell phone camera. My use case is to capture family and travel moments. I do have a couple of longer zooms for zoos and birds but they don't get as much use. So for me the m has been perfect for size and iq as well as being inconspicuous. The m system is tailor made for someone like me and this I suspect is their intended market but will probably keep shrinking with phones getting better and better.

The way I see it, the problem with apsc as a format is that there is a dichotomy in use cases. For the m system, the use case is for small and light but not necessarily fast unless using small primes. The other use case for apsc is pixel density for long focal range wildlife and macro. This means attaching heavy long lenses that doesn't balance well with the m cameras. So for the new rf apsc cameras, they are designed with this use case in mind, with bigger grips etc. One use case requires a small body and the other requires a bigger body for balance.

I suspect rf apsc will only have slow apsc zooms as the intended use case is to attach the long focal length lenses. For everything else Canon will want you to get the rf full frames.

I would still hope Canon will still release new bodies for the m. There is still a place for fast reliable af to capture running kids but I suspect that will be down to demand. I don't think they'll release any more lenses for the m.
