Such a compact system with compact lenses - Now being replaced by bulkier RF cameras and bigger RF-S lenses.

I own the R5 and many bigger EF/RF lenses, but my M6 II has always been a joy to carry out for casual photography and videography.

I hope Canon could could produce something as compact and capable as the M system in their RF APS-C lineup, but I'm doubtful due to the physical limitations of the mount size.

I think the big problem is that the bigger sellers in the market are the bigger cameras. I can't find a current micro four-thirds camera body that's smaller or lighter than the M200. The OM-1 is bigger and heavier than the EOS RP full-frame camera, the GH 5II, GH6 & GH 9 are bigger and heavier than my EOS R.  I have some attraction for the R7 until I see its price (too much for a glorified teleconverter that's not significantly smaller than the R), but the attraction of my EOS M cameras is their size.  I'm sticking with EOS M as right now there is no alternative, at least not in the new camera market.
