Re: Disappointed with the fate of the EOS M line

I would say that the attraction of m was maybe more the combination of price/size/performance than individual factors on their own. Purely in terms of size and performance, probably the rp was a better buy, and I suspect the r8 will be too. And it’s not that far behind on price either.

The reason for the discontinuation was probably a desire to sell more expensive lenses, and as others have pointed out, a seemingly endless desire for features and box ticking from users. In the latter category, 4 hour 8k video recording springs to mind, or full size hdmi sockets and 40 fps e shutters
