Taking my chance to shoot out this question. Rejoining the forum after almost a decade of being away from photography websites.

Now on the hunt for cropped body, coming from an 80D. I know the R7 has all the bells and whistles of the new Canon tech and hardware. Does not mean it's worth that much money compared to the really cute and capable M6 Mark 2 which I tried in the store over the weekend and found impressive for its size. Mostly I do take photos on foot, while doing a bit of hiking and occasionally from hillside locations, with a small tripod in a small backpack.

Or maybe I should invest in new tech like the R7 so I don't have to change it for the next 3-5 years?

For M lenses you know what is available. For RF-s lenses you can only guess what will appear next to the two current kit zooms.  And my guess is you will have to be satisfied with

the RF 16mm f/2.8  over the Sigma ef-m 16mm f/1.4

the RF 35mm f/1.8 over the ef-m 32mm f/1.4

the RF 50mm f/1.8 stm over the Sigma ef-m 56mm f/1.4

That's just my guess of course, but for Canon it's more interesting not to develop f/1.4 RF-s lenses competing with and beating the RF full frame primes. The M lenses are the better options obviously.  The old "upgrade path" is back.....

45 is more than enough, but 500.000 isn't
