There are 3 APSc cameras already and ZERO RF-s prime lenses or interesting zooms like the M 11-22mm. No even a roadmap to speculate.

My take is Canon does not want to create competition or risk its full-frame share.

If they produce f1.4 compact and affordable APS-c lenses, why upgrade? They had great M-mount lenses because there was no full-frame M market to risk.

They know R7 users are happy with full-frame lenses so R10 and R50 bodies are just a way to get people into the Canon ecosystem, maybe some will upgrade to full-frame, or simply keep those “Best Buy” kits for their Disney family holidays.

I believe is the exact same thinking as Nikon with their Z50, I wonder what do you think?

Yes, I agree. If we’ll see some primes at all they will be no faster than 2.8.
