When a camera store says "discontinued", it sometimes just means "temporarily out of stock". Canon is probably concentrating on manufacturing higher-margin Rs for Christmas Shopping Season.
Neither M model is on Canon's official Discontinued List.

You mean Fuji X, eh?
In case you forgot, Canon is a Japanese company. The webpage that I linked is Canon's official list of discontinued cameras, but feel free to continue living in denial.Who is clueless or being disingenuous here?
That is Canon Japan website, not Canon Global.

So what? They have different websites for different region and also a Global one. And the one you linked to is not the global one as you claimed. In case you can't see the difference here is the logos for the Japan site and the Global site. I think it is really easy for (almost) everyone to see the difference.In case you forgot, Canon is a Japanese company.Who is clueless or being disingenuous here?
That is Canon Japan website, not Canon Global.
Denial of what? That is the list of old products in the Japan region. Not Global.
Here is the link to the Global site:

Canon is probably clearing stock for the R replacements. The R100 shouldn't be too far away. Maybe a Jan announcement should give you a better idea of pricing.
If you want a deal on outgoing cameras, wait until December.
M's not selling well, so probably time to officially pull the plug.

Canon makes inexpensive lenses that can be purchased for less than a hundred dollars (USD) to some expensive ones that are over ten thousand dollars. Presently I use four Canon lenses that are all under $300 in price (two EF-M and two EF-S). My fifth lens I use all of the time, is a Tamron 150-600mm lens (Canon EF mount). I'm constantly showing pictures of them nearly each week on Dpreview. I don't understand what you are talking about. Could you give us some more details? What better lenses do you use?

Hey, don't underestimate modern baby monitors. With computational photography they're almost as good as a DSLR.The fact that the #1 "Mirrorless" camera is a baby monitor should give you a clue that the Amazon rankings are utterly worthless.Canon is probably clearing stock for the R replacements.

The M50 II is still wrongly placed in the dslr category.Canon is probably clearing stock for the R replacements. The R100 shouldn't be too far away. Maybe a Jan announcement should give you a better idea of pricing.

Excellent post.Here is a chart compiled from CIPA data on yearly camera production
Yearly camera production taken from CIPA data
The highlighted fields above are peak numbers for the respective column. Starting in the 2017, Canon began reporting total interchangeable lens camera (ILC) sales in their financial statements. In general, Canon has always accounted for roughly 50% of the interchangeable lens camera market.
When EF-M launched, the ILC market was quadruple what it is now. When RF launched, the ILC market was double what it is now. Canon, or any other manufacturer, can not continue to support four different mounts in an era of drastically reduced unit volume. The casual shapshot photographer that was buying DSLRs in droves a decade ago, and compact mirrorless cameras a few years later, are now mostly just using their smartphone for photography. Not only is the camera market a tiny fraction of what it was, but those still buying cameras lean much more towards the prosumer/professional end of the spectrum.
It looks like market saturation and the smartphones are a good reason for the decline.
But I still wonder how much the manufacturers are to blame here for their lack of innovations, they rather cr!pple features to segment their products than develop newer ones. BTW (the word cr!pple has been banned from this site, for overuse, my guess!)
There is still plenty of room left for innovations in this sector, IMHO.
Hell, even firmware glitches that people complain about Canon refuses to fix them.
Personally, in the last 6 years my photo/video money have gone to cool products instead, like drones, gimbals, 360 cameras, etc and of course iPhone upgrades which keep innovating. And all those manufacturers are thriving.
Canon even failed in their transition to mirrorless, they aborted the EF-M mount and came late to fully commit to mirrorless. Otherwise we wouldn't be in this dead-end predicament.
I had money set aside for Canon M glass that never was developed, that money is now with DJI in China.
My satisfaction with Canon, as a brand has declined along the way.

I should have been clearer. The old stuff was /is OK. The new RF lenses are stupidly priced. I'm talking of the lenses that are not at the bottom price. What can cannon put up against the olympus 12-100 F4. Price quality. Nothing as far as i can see. What about the 12-40 2.8. Neither of which i have.
