What I'm most confused about is that Canon continues to sell the M50 Mark II and M200 in retail stores. At my local Best Buy they have the R10 with the M50ii side by side. Though at the Target I went to recently it has the M50ii, M200, and a T7 DSLR which is even weirder. Maybe their turnaround is really slow and Canon has no say in the matter.

So at this point they are selling people a dead end which doesn't seem good for either side. Do the vast majority of entry level users really never buy any extra lenses? I don't know.

Non of the Canon EF-M lenses are discontinued (as far as I know), except the old 18-55mm. The Sigma trio is still selling + the Viltrox trio. And in addition there are dusins of EF(s) lenses and 3rd party MF EF-M lenses available. What's the problem?

With how widely available the M50 series has been I don't see how Canon doesn't eventually get angry customers finding out they can't find a new lens for their camera, even online. Maybe the idea is that these people will buy another kit in RF.

Taking Preorders for the new Tokina SZ 300mm f/7.1 Pro Reflex MF CF Lens for Canon EF-M.
