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.

I would never buy a camera based on loose rumors. "Coming alongside the R50" ? No, It didn't. And not even a "cr" rating on these rumors. My advice is wait, wait, wait and wait before you buy a APS-C R mount camera. It can take a long looong time before it has got something close to the EF-M lens line up. IF ever !

RF-S: Slower lenses. Larger lenses. Fewer lenses. No F/1.4 lenses. No Sigma trio.

The RF-S 55-210mm is slower, heavier and much larger and does not fit nicely in a pocket as the EF-M 55-200 does.

Canon started the RF mount claiming FF dominance

now APSC cameras are showing up as an afterthought.

the R6II and R8 will rule the roost.

except for maybe R7 with long lenses, skip buying anymore APSC

The R10 - now discounted to £799 in UK is a bargain for those who want top of the current range AF and frames per second in either craw or jpeg and good ergonomics. The R8 is far more expensive - double.  R10 with either adapted ef 10-18 or if we are lucky refs 11-22 coming - plus 18-150 - throw in a 85 f/2 or adapted 60 2.8 plus 100-400 of some type - or Efs 55-250 will make a lot of sense for many people. R7 yes is better other than ergonomics than R10 - but does not for stills at least radically better it. R8 and R6ii are neither cheap nor keep up with Nikon or Sony for resolution.
