Don't count out RF-S just yet. We are not even 8 months into the existence of RF-S, and there are already solid rumors of more RF-S gear coming in just a few months. Look at where the M system was at 8 months in. Canon needs to move all crop sensor DSLR sales to RF-S. Two bodies and two lenses won't cut it. Canon will need to expand RF-S significantly, and they will need to do it quicker than they ever did with the M system. RF-S may look like a lateral move today, but advancing technology and a broader model lineup will change that view in the not to distant future.

Give it another year, and I bet we are at four RF-S bodies and five RF-S lenses. And here's a thought... One of the rumored RF-S cameras coming this year is supposed to be marketed toward vlogging and will have a form factor similar to the M6 II. What if Canon was the first manufacturer to not be a bonehead and they put IBIS in their compact vlogging camera? Odds are slim, and it would probably use the new 24mp sensor with the M50 tilt-swivel screen, but still interesting. Add the rumored RF-S 22mm pancake to that camera and it gets even more interesting.

Canon need to do better than that.
Fuji has produced already 60 XF lenses at about 6.6 lenses per year for a significant smaller market size, compared to Canon.
We are lucky if Canon releases two RF-S lenses this year. Unacceptable.
