Most important news: as expected, Canon goes "SLIM" mount and parameters look "really right". 54 mm throat width (same as EF) and 20mm flange focal distance. good to go for the next 20 years!
so, as i said, Canon goes from 2 mirrorslapper mount versions for FF and APS-C (EF, EF-S) to 2 mirrorfree mount versions: RF plus EF-M .
no, there will NOT be 4 mounts in the future. we may well have seen the last new EF- S lens launch already and i dont think we will get many ne EF lenses for the next 3 years, as Canon will be busy getting new RF glass to market.hope there will be an "official road map" as for Nikon Z. would be a "first" for Canon. 3 rd party lens makers will be busy to, trying to reverse engineer new RF mount lens protocol and AF commands. i'd sell Sigma stock if i had any.
adapters are fine with me and i like the added drop-in filter functionality. those who want to mount EF "natively" can just leave the adapter on the camera ... or glue it into the mount, so they won't "loose it in the field".
camera itself does look "decent": compact, just a bit bigger than I would have liked. but with good power pack LP-E6N.
adapters are fine with me for the transitional phase.
