It is a bit disappointing to not get an RF mount M6 II

However, if that R8 is about the same size/weight as the RP… will be tough to ignore.

Thinking about this, Canon is chasing the money; M50 II and kits are best selling, refresh. RP is low end stop gap, refresh.

Agreed

Enthusiast stuff? Nope.

Yep, nothing for me in tomorrow's announcement unless there will be any surprises?

I'd love for Canon to announce a new 35mm 1.2L - one can always dream 

Although, to be fair, I'd be already happy if Canon managed to finally ship my RF 135mm f/1.8L! I've ordered the first day but, as many others, I haven't received the lens yet 

I’m seeing confirmation here that Canon is going to treat RF-S like EF-S… Push users to FF RF glass for specialty needs. Shame. I’m bummed, but this is all logical from a marketing standpoint.

Agreed. I think it's inevitable given that the market is consolidating and enthusiasts will become more and more important for Canon's (and the competitors') bottom line.
