How important is size to you? And small light (and excellent) lenses? F/1.4 lenses? UWA zoom?

M50 II + EF-M 22mm f/2 to the right (Very nice lens for street and walk around.)

I don't find these rumors far fetched considering Canon just made an EF-M 55-200 "killer". I do consider it a killer too btw considering it's improved optical performance, even though it gave up 1/3 stop.

An EF-S 55-250mm STM killer it is not.

The almost 1 stop and 40mm at the long end in the crop world is huge.

Absolutely. It’s also what? Half the size? And half the weight (adapter mind you).

M and now RF-S is all about footprint. Glad to see Canon is matching the spirit of the M, albeit compromises like 3mm on the wide end of the kit and the 1/3 stop on the telephoto. Those aren’t bad trades to keep the M form factor but in RF-S if you’re keeping it real. We all knew they couldn’t match the M, but man they got close. Close enough I’d say it doesn’t count. The R50 is the M50 mark III.

Not only that !

Canon sold me a refurbished EF-S 55-260 STM for $99 and it looks like new !
