I've had lots of various micro four thirds cameras and lenses these last few years. I sold them all to swap back to a bridge camera. However I do miss the fun of having different lenses and having a camera that I can make as versatile as I'd like. I quite fancy trying an APS-C sized sensor and would hope it will be an upgrade on previous cameras. I do value having a light package which is why I had m43.

Is the Canon EF-M still going strong?

EF-M is a mature system, save for an f/2.8 standard zoom, which I’m still hoping Sigma will port over!

But even without that, the M System as it stands right now is incredibly capable, and I feel that a person can shoot about anything on the planet with it, esp with an M6ii body.  Note: I HAVE shot darn near everything possible with it, and in some of the toughest conditions no less!  

So if you think you’d be OK with the current M System offerings (which can include 3rd party and the entirety of the EF lens catalog), then I don’t think you can go wrong with the M System as a small, light, and inexpensive alternative to both full frame and RF-S at this point (and M43 as well!)
