Is EF-M mount worth investing for a new user

First, to clarify, there are two primary types of screens; "fully articulated" and "tilting". Your FZ1000 would be the "fully articulated" type with the hinge on the side of the camera. "Titling" screens are hinged at the top and/or bottom. "Flip" and "tilt" are often used interchangeably. "Fully articulated" is also referred to as a "swivel" screen. Things get even more confusing when you throw a screen like that on the Z9 into the conversation.

Is the Canon EF-M still going strong? No. In 2018, Canon had 4 different bodies for sale. In 2020 it was three bodies. In 2022, the M6 II was discontinued and the lineup is down to just 2 bodies. The last new lens was launched in 2018. If the system has everything you would want right now, it could be a good value. However, don't expect any new bodies with significantly upgraded features, or any new lenses. By all appearances, Canon is slowly phasing out the EF-M system and is in the process of replacing it with the new crop RF-S system.

If you face the facts, obviously there is only small "movement" in the M-system.

However, how can the new crop RF-S system replace the EOS-M?

• Although the number of M-lenses is small, it is large compared to the number of RF-S-lenses.
• What do you think, how long will it take to have a comparable number of comparable lenses?
• There is (almost) no comparable lens concerning size, weight and costs.
• If size matters, no combination of R-body with RF-S-lens will ever equal an M-camera with an M-lens.
• The RF-S is the system to lure customers to FF, not to APS-C. So they can't make it too strong, otherwise the expensive R-lenses lose attractiveness.

Proclaiming the end of the M has little influence on the future of this great system.
Instead of permanently emphasizing the issues, you should better use your M-camera for shooting, you can get fantastic results
