It’s like they trying to wipe the M6ii off the earth Locked

Manufacturers have excess stock. So better to sell now and make a small profit, versus hanging on to stock for next year.

Not just Canon, I have seen deals on TVs, power tools, hard drives, computers and many things. Discounts have been pretty significant compared with the previous 3 years.

If you have excess money, it is a really good time to buy stuff.

The R50 seems like a replacement for the M50, but who knows what Canon is thinking in terms of nomenclature.

Perhaps there won't be an R20 like the previous xxD line.

The M6ii and M200 might be the last of it's kind. Maybe the R100 will try and fill both of these cameras spots.

One can say the R* or R** or R*** is the update for the M6II but the many years old much loved EF-M 32mm has no update ? Or the much loved EF-M 22mm ?

I am not buying it !

They will come. They don't need much to match the EF-M system:

11-22

22

32

55-200

Maybe a small macro

This market is getting very small with smartphones being as good as they are.

I have M6m2 with 32mm and I think I would actually prefer small full frame R plus a high quality 50mm lens as a replacement.

RF 50mm f/2 with fancy glass (e.g. APO like) for $1000 would be awesome.

I don't think so. Indeed, it does need "much" to match the EF-M system:
11-22mm, 22mm, 32mm

All these lenses in a comparable size/weight, with a comparable IQ and a comparable price will be almost impossible for RF-s. Why should Canon produce these lenses?
They want to sell RF-lenses, no RF-s.
For Canon the upgrade path will always be RF, not RF-s.

But if you want to change to FF R, no problem, follow that route.

However, here in this forum, most users have fun in using their EF-M camera with EF-M lenses, they don't need RF-s.
