yes. fab time is very expensive. also scheduling fab time is expensive and money is already allocated. even though parts aren’t built yet. But from an internal company financial perspective it is the same as if parts already were made. i work for a monster big. corporation and how money is hsndled and allocated just does not sense from a simple engineers point of view. it is just from my experience seeing how money is handled i have this idea that at some point the marketing people in Canon had this awful realization that they were going to have a bunch of 32 MP chips depreciating in inventory and they were scrambling to find some product to use them in And a realization that DSLR sales were plummeting much faster than anyone expected so the 90D was not going to work out as a place to put all of them.
Just using my M6ii i just have the impression it does not have the refinement that my 90 D has. That probably is why I have the feeling the M6ii was planned as a dead end.
My experience in my company is we can spin the products we put chips into much faster than the chip production schedules can change in the fabs.
of course i could be wrong in all this. it is just my guessing what it looks liked happened
when I first got the m6II I thought iso 6400 was noisy crap,
then I got dxo PL and boom - I started seeing IQ I liked better than any crop sensor I had ever had and with great glass such as the 32 f1.4, the IQ approached FF quality
Canon eventually realized they had the best APS-c sensor on the market and were not going to give it away for $849 in an m6II body - buyers would need to pay $1500 for it in an R7 body
the competition really hasn't answered 32.5 mpxl at the $1500 price point with all the R7 features
also the competition really hasn't answered the $2500 price point the R6II offers in features
Canon is leading both FF and Crop with these two offerings
the latest iphone has made stuff drop off
with these two Canon offerings there will be other inferior stuff that drop off
I sold a Fuji XT3 and for the same money, I got my RP which I use extensively with the RF 35 IS to take jewelry product shots of my wife’s online store. Best decision ever, I love the simplicity of the RP and the colors straight OOC.


I love my RP with RF 24-105 F4L
That is why I am considering pulling the trigger on one of those M6ii refurbs for $575, I think will be a great addition along with the M 28mm macro to my work! But I admit there is also a little bit of GAS too đŸ¥¹
I also love my M6II with my 100L and m32 f.4
