Btw, a used R10 is a good value. I’m after ultimate portability and that twin lens combo seals the deal where it can’t be beat if you want the 55-210, which I do, and I don’t already have the 18-45, and want it, I do. The R8 is the star of the show, I’m just picking up Canons side thought that fit my needs… Pardon my being blunt but the R50 seems to me like Canon conceding as I’m aware the R10 isn’t the seller they thought, or maybe it was…

That is just silly. The R50 was announced 9 months after the R10 was announced, and about 7 months after the R10 was generally available. It takes a lot more time than that to design, test, and announce a camera. Canon obviously had the R50 well into development long before the R10 was even announced. It's not a reaction to anything to do with the R10, but was always planned.
