I saw this coming, though I wouldn't have guessed so soon. That's why I sold off my gear this summer. I managed to get pretty good value through eBay. It's sad, but I'm really happy with my new system. The options for M users are to either keep using your gear until it breaks or move on to something else.

Not sure its wrong to say that there is no other small system "something else".
I have 3, so i'm planning to use until the wheels fall off. + that SIGMA, not CANON 30 1.4...thats just a gem. it's working fantastic with the m62 especially. just keep it stable or shoot high shutter speeds.
Also, thinking about moving on to r10 or z30? Well, LOLOLOL....they are both HUGE in comparison. (go handle for yourself). RFS lenses is a complete shameful embarrassment, and besides the 40/f2 pancake, good luck finding a small ultra wide 11-22 on nikon Z.
The truth is, there isnt another camera line in the class of the M. And as ignored as it was,it has a stellar lens lineup compared to its very weak/non existent competition.

Im glad i bought extra, even with its issues. A m50ii will go a long way until theres a true replacement, if ever. I learned in the past, dont wait for your most valuable/useful body to disappear from the market..buy a backup. Use it or stash it, at least your needs will be covered years into the future.
