There will be an EOS M/EF-M announcement this year [CR1]
- Thread starter Canon Rumors Guy
- Start date
That is exactly what 50% of the people who desire an R7 want out of it. The other half wish for it to continue in the 7D style. I'm in the latter camp.

What exactly is "an adapter for the M system"? If it is an adapter for EF lenses on an M body, they have had one since the beginning of the M system. I own one. I also own two Vello adapters that look identical to the Canon adapter, except for the printing.

Electronics pass through for AF and possible control rings? Yeah, the post was a bit cryptic.

I dont understand that. The EOS RP is one of the smallest and lightest fullframe cameras right now, isnt it? What benefits would you see in switching?
Also, smaller lenses are starting to come, the RF 35 is very handy and a nice focal length for travel. And the RF 50mm Pancake on any R camera is certainly a super duper tiny and light package?

either way, he would have to buy into new system, not much caries from a M based kit to a R based kit. A kit full of EF glass kept me in EOS orbit. Maybe A9/7/1 whatever would have looked good if EF was dead and the EF->RF adapter didn't exist.

I got the original M and loved it. Only kept it a while though, because I had to have a backup for my 5D at the time: has to be full frame for my work (livelihood, that is). And I can't justify three bodies because as is, the 2nd collects dust 99% of the time. Yeah, yeah--I should be more successful.
Here's what I'd like to see for the M, or most preferably a compact R series: No bump on top, but a viewfinder in rangefinder style. Like a Sony 7C or the Leica CL, only Canon excellent and Canon reasonably priced. An APS-C would be very cool, but if it's an RF mount and the same sensor as the R5, I'd buy one. Or two.

I love my M5 and EF-M lenses because I appreciate them for what they are: a compact, lightweight, low-cost camera/lens system that meets all the photography needs that don't require a large, heavy, expensive set of cameras and lenses. By buying Canon refurbished EF-M gear, I have a full range of lenses from 11 mm to 200 mm (18-320 mm FF equivalent) for about the cost of a single FF EF/RF camera/lens.
While I would love to see an M5 Mk2, I see the writing on the wall: it says the future of Canon ILC cameras is with the RF mount. I will be very surprised if Canon's upcoming EF-M announcement is an incremental update to the any of the existing bodies. I see that the EOS RP and lower-end RF lenses are almost as compact/lightweight, and almost as low cost as the EF-M family.
On the other hand, it wouldn't surprise me at all if Canon leverages the EF-M lenses into a novel new form factor and/or application that is uniquely better suited to the advantages of the EF-M lenses than to the RF lens ecosystem.

I'm still hoping.
If they cancel the system there is nothing to rant about. But I wont replace my equipment with EOS R for many reasons. Price and weight are the most important, but beeing left standing in the rain is definetly also a point that would strongly drive me to look for another manufactor.

I started with the M50, then upgraded to the M6II. I picked up the Sigma trio (16/30/56 F1.4) along with a few of the EF-M lenses. A few months ago I bought the R6 but kept the M6II and lenses for times when I want to travel light. I would LOVE LOVE LOVE one final upgraded M body with IBIS and better 4k video (closer in quality to the 10bit Fuji XT4) and I would be a happy camper 
. I know the future is with the R mount but the M system definitely has it's place in the market I think

You can and will vote with your
2.5 years there was a lot of crying about the (perceived) obsolescence of the EF mount and DLSRs. Meanwhile I don't hear and see people crying anymore about that.

Interesting news, and I can't wait to see what this new direction is!
If it means an M5 Mark II with a DIGIC 8 or X processor, IBIS, and Animal Eye AF, then I'm all for it!
It is the new 50mm IS, everybody want it, except Canon. And of course, our CR ADM

Jeah.
I must say that EF-R Adapter works realy excellent. You gain a bit of size and weight, but it works so far perfectly with all of my 10 lenses (canon, Sigma, Tamron and third party). It feels VERY close to native and even gives you the benefit of an internal ND filter, which is super great
It allows the usage of SO many EF lenses, its great. The market is full of affordable, interesting and high quality glas =)
