Disappointed with the fate of the EOS M line

I don't think Fuji's market share has changed dramatically in the last few years. Any M users moving to Fuji are mostly coming from that small middle group I mentioned above. RF users will just add RF-S.

The R7 has a very attractive specification, but it's not significantly smaller that the R, so it's more a replacement for the 7D or 90D than for EOS M.

There's little point as I own an FF RF mount camera for me to buy an APS-Ccamera that's a similar size to it except as a teleconverter.

I plan to buy the R8

I may get the 1.4 TC for the RF 100-400

for me the R8 meets my needs more than R7

for me, I'll likely not buy into APSC again when I can get an R8 (R6II lite) for $1499

I might be tempted by its self-levelling IBIS if i were feeling flush, but my existing lenses would suffice for it. I would see little point in buying RF-S lenses for it as I was never tempted by the EF-M 18-150mm; I want tiny APS-C lenses because that's the whole point of APS-C for me. I know that a lot of people on the EOS R forum like the R7 and R10, but they're too big, and the R50 lacks the cleaning vibrator.

No point in going to the size and expense of Fuji either,

agree

so EF-M is probably the end of the APS-C lens road for me.

me too

... If the manufacturers knew where mirrorless technology would end up, and how inexpensive full frame sensor would become, many (most?) would have made different design choices for their new mounts.

And if there hadn't been such vocal lobbies for consistent lens mounts and against adapters, both EF-M and EF mounts would be in much better condition today.
