Yes, there are a few mark 1's in stock still, but when sold they are not replenished. Mark 2 by contrast is widely in stock online and in retail stores and is being regularly replenished.
So where is your proof for anything? How long will the 6DII be produced? Maybe it isn't in production anymore. I don't know, do you? It is indeed unlikely but maybe the 6DI is still in production. I don't know, do you?
It's not asking a lot for a little credibility in postings to substantiate what otherwise looks like complete speculation
What credibility do you expect? There will be no evidence or fact to prove you or I are right. It is all about likelihood.
We all know the M series will eventually be replaced, it's looking like small RF-s cameras will take their place
With the arrival of the R7/R10 and (even more important) RF-S lenses this process already started. You don't trust canon rumors but if I remember right canon watch was first mentioning the rumored R100. Do you really think it would be wise to produce M200 and an assumed R100 simultaniously? Maybe the stock of M200 is already high enough to satisfy the customers till R100 is in production. Specualtion - yes. But not unlikely.
Claiming something is dead is easy - being right within a reasonable timeframe is hard, and there have been posts declaring the death of M for a very long time with apparently very little substance in the real world.
R7 and R10 with two lenses is already enough substance. You say later - I say sooner. Precise enough?
and which causes real harm to Canon's business as well as the businesses of their stockists.
False. Two years ago the majority of comments was against cropped RF cameras and esp. against RF-S lenses.
If your statement was right Canon would had never made the mistake(?!) in developing products the community was against.
As long as people are interested in rumors sites like CR it is always a benefit for the manufacturer no matter what they write.
If something is a threat (like RF-S to M) is only a question the customers should ask.
Do you really think telling people not to buy those 100,000 units of "dead technology" will accelerate release of new models? No, quite the opposite, Canon will wait until stock dwindles if they are smart.
True. But what made you think I'm against this statement? By the way: Personally I'm not interested in something like the R100. I'm only interested in RF-S lenses. How likely is it that new lenses will come to the R100? How likely is it that new lenses will come to the M200?
