Today is the two year anniversary of Canon's announcement of the M50 Mark II, which was just a minor update of the 2018 version.

I don't expect it to happen, but it would be nice if Canon "shocked the world" by releasing a new M model.

Unfortunately Canon has stopped production of the eos m200.

The m50 mark II is also at risk.

I don't understand Canon's choices. I am very disappointed.

Canon doesn't really have a choice. The camera market is a small fraction of what it used to be. Canon could continue on with four different mounts and only a couple current bodies for each mount, or Canon can consolidate everything under a single mount with several bodies. If Canon can only manage two new bodies and four new lenses per year, option 1 means scattered and sporadic updates across multiple mounts while option 2 looks like a healthy system with continued growth.
