After thinking through the new information provided, I think it's a very high likelihood the "Full Frame M6 mk ii" camp is correct

M6 Mk2 was not gimped in FPS, it was a mirrorless 90d and had the state of the art features of it's time

"New form factor" and "vari-angle monitor" without mentioning an EVF are pointing towards a rangefinder style body without an EVF

Canon is clearly targeting vloggers and "content creators" with this camera. The most interesting thing was the "new form factor" and "vari-angle monitor". Will they give this a multi-flex touch screen like on the S1R? My guess is no...this is Canon after all. They'll probably give it that flip down monstrosity like on the Nikon Z50.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but Canon may have actually made something I'm interested in. The lack of third party lenses is still a bummer, but I'm more of a small prime guy anyways. If this is truly RP compact with a modern sensor, great video specs and the latest autofocus...I'm in.
