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

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

Yes.  If you are going to carry around FF lenses it would seem to make since to carry a FF body.

And I sure can see wanting to put the best body you can behind your favorite lenses.

I may well be one Best Buy visit away from switching to Sony.

I used to work for Sony.  They helped me put food on the table.
