While I have no specific knowledge of what Canon plans to do with the M system in the future, I’ll be very surprised if it’s retired in less than 4 years. IMHO, it’s a very capable system in a size and weight that isn’t touched by the R system, and I think unlikely to be touched by the R system (even with the S variants rumored) due to the size of the RF mount.

It looks like the R50 just proved you wrong. It has a deeper grip than your M50 II, but is otherwise smaller and lighter.

I have an M50 MKII along with a selection of EF-M Canon and SIgma lenses. (This is all in addition to my EOS APC-C DSLRs and a collection of EF-S and EF lenses.) Given what you get from the M series in terms of size, weight and bang for the buck, I expect I’ll be using it 5 years from now. (Who know in 5-6 years time the hot new thing might be the T system with TF mount and I will just skip the R system all together 😀)

Haha, I came here to see would be first. Honestly it looks like a decent technical upgrade over the M50 so good on Canon for that. The writing was on the wall since the R10 and R7 showed up.

I'll make my own prediction and say that the M200 will get and RF version, but I have my doubts that the M6 styled camera will.

Totally agree with you, there will be a ‘viewfinderless’ entry level R100 for sure while the R version of the M6ii is a choice between the R10 and R7, depending on your budget and what your photographic needs are, resolution, portability, IBIs, etc.
