I understand the pain. I was hoping for at least one more M body and a couple more lenses, but it seems we are at the end of the road. I've searched around and from what I can tell, there's nothing out there with the size/weight/image quality/affordability of M.

For photography I will have to keep using the m6ii for a while because there seems to be nothing else like it. But for video, the cameras coming out now are light years ahead of it. IBIS is an absolute game-changer for video, not just an incremental improvement.

I've looked at RF and RF-S and I just can't figure out how it makes sense for me. Some of the RF bodies are compelling but the RF lens lineup is abysmal. All the good lenses are huge and cost over $2k. There's no third party support and I don't see Canon making a bunch of cheap 1.4 primes. The result is I would certainly end up taking worse photographs using RF-S than I get with the M6ii in nearly every situation.

The R6ii is compelling despite its size but again the full frame RF lenses are all either not that great or they cost over $2k and are really big and really heavy. The 24-105 F4 is the only compelling lens I could potentially someday afford.

Fuji, Sony, and Panasonic are all look like they would be better future paths for me than RF.

you make good points though it is a matter of timing and what you shoot

you also have access to a huge array of EF lenses

for example, I love my 100 L on m6II

I have the RF 24-105 F4L you mentioned, and it is great

What lenses do you have and what do you like to shoot?
