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 😀)

The huge advantage the M50II has is it can mount the Sigma 56mm !

That lens works so good on the M50II that Canon changed the mount and banned Sigma from making auto focus lenses for the Canon mirrorless cameras with the new RF mount !
