For my use cases (stills only, nothing moving in the frame) buying the R50 (or even the R10) now would make no sense as a current owner of a M50 and M6II plus 5 ef-m lenses (and access to more native AF lenses through sigma and viltrox).
I would need to buy a worse kit lens (18-45) and similar all-in-one (18-150) and telephoto (55-210/100-400) lenses, for the benefit of having a slightly larger battery, better LCD, ES in manual modes (compared to the m50, not the M6II).

Access to current RF lenses is more than made up by access to the sigma/viltrox primes and EF lenses (I don’t mind using an adapter with my 70-300 USM II, for example, as the lens size and weight is beyond the point the adapter makes a big difference).

But I am sure for video shooters and action photographers the improvements are good enough to justify the ‘switch’ from M to R now…and I am happy to see a path forward with Canon once the M cameras don’t work anymore (it might be a while…😊).

This is pretty much where I am. Nothing compelling to move up from the M6ii plus I'd lose access to some of the best APS-C lenses (Siggy 16 & 56 and EF-M 32.)

Although every new crop R body that comes out gets my keen interest to see what it can do. The R50 confirms the path most of us have thought Canon would take.

Disappointing they did the RF-S 55-210 and not the 11-22 so many were hoping for next!
