Canon discredited EF-M themselves.

Slow zooms, the "Prosumer" body M5 was never updated and always the seemingly red-headed stepchild with a few firmware quirks that were never fixed.

well, as a matter of fact there are more native f/1.4 primes with autofocus available for EF-M than RF right now.

I have a M5, M100, 15-45, 22, 11-22 and 55-200 sitting right behind me.

It takes fine photos for the limitations of the lenses and sensor, but at this point, the only benefit of the system is the size and dirt cheap pricing.

The R10 is what the M5 MKII should have been, although it is using the same old 24MP sensor from 6 years ago that frankly, pales in comparison in low light performance and dynamic range to the 32MP much less the 26MP Fuji's.

You mean like the 32 MP M6 mk II?

RF-S would be so much more appealing if the Sigma 18-50 2.8 and Tokina 11-18 2.8 were on it. Small, light weight (in comparison), but high quality.

Notice how I said slow zooms? Not everyone cares about primes. I don't want to carry 3-4 lenses to cover a range that a single 2.8 zoom can cover.

No, I don't mean like the M6 MKII. Dead in the water for me due to the lack of an EVF, which I use for 95% of my shots, and the add on was bulky and prevented the usage of flash.
