I'm actually wondering if by fall we won't see an RP II as well. Keep the same roughly 1/3 less pixels than whatever the R II has, but improve the FPS to something in the 7-10 fps with full tracking, and maybe a burst mode like the M6II at a slightly smaller crop.
That would sell quite a bit to the price conscious enthusiast, and maybe a few bodies as backups to pros as well. That would get the train rolling on the RF mount to start selling all the non-L lenses coming this year. This body would pair well with the rumored 18-something + something-300 lens consumer lens kit. The kit could be priced msrp about 1700 total and would more than likely have some sort of 'sale' before xmas in all the big box stores to get it at 1499 or so for the kit.
That same sensor could then be used in an even cheaper/smaller z50 type camera if they want, without a viewfinder, with the option to add the viewfinder from the M6II to it. I don't think there's an option to make the M lenses work on RF without some expensive funky mechanics which would make the price too much.
