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.

Exactly my thoughts, thanks for sharing!

Hope never dies, but historically Canon has always treated their non-FF systems rather mediocre. My prediction is that they will port some of the M-Lenses to the RF-S mount, then they will also leave it in a mediocre state, and then they will continue with some new (incompatible) cropped mount / system.

My guess is that this market is too niche for Canon, because it is otherwise a pretty fine, and solid system.
