Canon M7 as the last M series camera?

About as much  chance of that happening as USA winning the FIFA world cup.

Be careful with your reply, since the american women's soccer team has already won the FIFA world cup 4 times

Well in that case substitute Wales for the USA

Sure, no harm in hoping.

IMHO, a last hurrah M-series camera would be a Canon M50 mkiii (or a Canon M40?). Besides more subject specific auto focus tracking options, not sure what new features would make the most sense.

Perhaps adding the technology that reduces warping when panning while capturing a moving subject (e.g., stacked sensor)?

Note: If my description is incorrect, feel free to correct it.

Would like a weather sealed body; however, most EF-M lenses are not weather sealed.

Would like IBIS; however, not sure of Canon's IBIS technology would be compatible with the electronics built into the EF-M mount.

If the M50 mkii is the M-series hurrah camera, then I just might tempted to purchase a new M50 mkii at about the time manufacturing is rumored to be discontinued. At which point, I will have three Canon M-series cameras that should keep me using my Canon M-lenses for a long time. If not, no regrets.

I used Canon dlsr camera since the first Rebel and 10D up through the 70D. Burned out on the weight and front/back focus issues. Bought into the M system with an M5, which I still have and a collection of M lenses plus EF adapter. Overall, for everything but action pics it worked just fine. However, I missed having longer reach and dabbled with M 4/3 via used bodies and lenses. Never looked back given the lens selection and features of the top M 4/3 cameras. The smaller sensor combined with the right post processing software has not been an issue for my needs. Of course, yours may vary. No interest in switching to any full frame system. Sorry Canon, etc. FF either does not offer enough for me to switch systems, too bulky, too expensive. The GAS tank is empty.

As likely as Qatar hosting the World Cup

Well the World Cup is going to be played in Qatar . Unfortunately the M7 just isn’t going to happen and the M system will likely be no more by the time the next World Cup is contested.

Guys, the M mount is not dead. Canon just said there's still a place for the M system to exist.

Maybe they don't make a ton of lenses for it, but that doesn't mean it's not a relevant system anymore.

I agree, I’d like to buy a retirement camera M7. The option is to switch to Sony 6xxx series.

I had the A6500 and the A6600. I'll take my M6ii over those two Sony's every day. No question.

When was the last update to that series?  It seems to me Sony is concentrating on their full frame cameras.
