I see the R50 as Canon trying to transfer the success of the M50 to the R system. They even mimicked the naming convention of the M50. I don't think the R10 has any bearing on the R50 coming to market. Canon is just filling out an APS-C product line at various price points with various capability cameras. The reason the R50 is the latest to be released is because it is the least expensive. Leading with the lowest tier model would eat away sales from the upper tier models.

+1 to this Mike.  Makes a lot of sense.
