M6 Mk3So... is the rumour that the next M camera is the last M camera dead? Or is this the last M camera?
I think you're right here all easy to do stuff no major changes that will come with the new flagship M machine whatever that ends up. The only omission which i think needs to be addressed now we are in the 20's ssd storage ? Surely they can hack a usb-c port in thunderbolt 3 would be awesome but give us the ability to store direct to a portable ssd . they are nearly same price as a good sd and 10 times better. Makes the unit better for weather proofing too as don't need to open in field.
M50 II will not be weather sealed4K@60FPS!? If you thought there were overheating problems with the R5 and R6, just wait for this camera...just a Wild Guess.
GH5 is a much bigger camera with a smaller sensor but it is weather sealed unlike M50I mean, GH5 has been doing 4k60 for nearly 4 years; sensor size matters. Obviously the Sony cams had all sorts of issues with overheating at APS-C early on, but Sony solved that.
And the answer to that is pretty simple. Don't.The question I’d ask all the Canon fans here is ‘why stick with Canon when other makers produce products that might better meet your needs’?
Canon loves your money and they love your loyalty. Are they reciprocating your commitment?
The M6 II already offers over 5000 manually selectable points across virtually the whole screen. With this M50 II being labeled DPAF II and getting a new processor, I bet AF performance will be outstanding, just as on the R6 and R5.Will this have the same full sensor AF points like the RP, R6 etc. or will it be restricted to a much smaller number.
While maybe helpful depending on the cameras you use for the sake of compatibility:Please use the LP-E17 battery. Come on Canon.
Missing sarcasm tag?
It is just a tradeoff between cost and value. The target market may in theory benefit from additional backup. But in practical terms, that is a rare issue and if they loose images (which they still can avoid through WiFi phone backup), it is unlikely to be pictures from a professional setting.Thirty years ago there were PC computers with one/two FDDs and an (optional) HDD. An M/RF series camera with a single card slot and an (optional) M.2 drive wouldn't be necessarily a bad idea, I think...
Call it "Black box" edition and voila!
Sure. I would consider buying a fast SD card then...It is just a tradeoff between cost and value.
they won't if this is a M50 Mark II. there's something called wanting people to upgrade.Please use the LP-E17 battery. Come on Canon.
that price wouldn't make sense for an M50 Mark II - we're talking a $650-$750 USD body.M6 is over $1000, this will be even more with these specs. And we still have $100 plastic, dark standard zoom only.
Nope, I know the article you're referring to. It's not an official statement at all.Source is Canon and the article was on this website. Not a rumor.

Which is why part of me is wondering about the specifications. Canon is usually pretty good at keeping the prices "around the same" on a Mark version, and this is a low cost volume seller so they aren't going to jack it up to $999 or even to the M6 Mark II levels.
The M50 sold at mass quantities making it one of Canon's best selling cameras around the world because it was "pretty good", "pretty small" "pretty light" and also "pretty cheap". They aren't going to screw with that formula that much. Canon's marketshare would have cratered if it wasn't for the M50. Canon knows this.
But the camera seems to have more than what the M50 price point seems to demand, and potentially for 4K60 not pretty small or light either.
Oh well, if it comes out at the specifications at a M50 price point, then it's a complete bargain and i'll suffer with the lack of controls and probably "downgrade" to one to get an EVF.
No doubt The Fuji cameras you mentioned are very nice hybrid cameras. It crossed my mind several times to jump to another brand. But as we know the perfect camera doesn't exist at this price point. All have their pros and cons. Panasonic has no useable AF so that ruins it for me. Sony is doing great with the new A7SIII and no doubt the A7 IV will be a nice hybrid camera. Canon is doing nice as well with the R6 and R5. I just can't afford the transition to a high end FF body with all the glass involved and I think it's overkill for my needs. I don't really need the smaller dof or lower light capabilities. Just the current APS-C stills technology in combo with high quality video and specs like GH5. I am willing to pay for that just so I can reuse my current glass. Basically just a R6 with all the specs but APS-C sensor.I rarely shoot video so that is an unknown to me personally, yet there are lots of shooters out there getting great results from the x-t4 / 3.
The question I’d ask all the Canon fans here is ‘why stick with Canon when other makers produce products that might better meet your needs’?
That's why i'm questioning the specifications. Canon is not going to screw with the price.I hope you are right and this will be well under $1000 but with these specs it would be better than the M6 Mark II in every way, except maybe ergonomics.
I have yet to see Fuji make an ultra wide zoom for $399 USD for their mirrorless that is also excellent optical quality.Canon loves your money and they love your loyalty. Are they reciprocating your commitment?
