Do we know for sure that TC is unsupported?

Do we? I have an EOS-R (replacing a 7D) for occasions/trips where I can take a full size camera and lenses. I also have an M (with lenses, etc) that fits into a pouch less than 4" x 3" x 2"; which is small enough to go in my briefcase on business trips to somewhere worth taking photos of.

Just backed this, exactly what I need for travelling by air. If it is stable enough I will see my current tripod.

Hope the 70-200 comes along soon.

Not surprised, my M6 on the end of a big white looks cool too, but I didn't mean aesthetically.

There has to be a limit to the number of cameras Canon can develop at any one time and I expect that new R bodies will get priority until they have fleshed out the range. I expect we will see mid-level and high-end APS-C models (roughly xxxD/xxD and 7D) and probably a FF model above the R.

True. Pretty ugly though.

I struggle to see that it is not in their interest to tie people into the Canon ecosystem at the earliest possible point. Why risk them going to another brand? It is much too early to say that they are not providing one.

I am not asking for it. My point is that without such a thing, which is highly unlikely for the reasons you give, there is no upgrade path from M to R.

The benefit is that you spread out the cost. Imagine you only have €500 free cash per year. At my local camera shop you can get a 1200D with EF-S 18-55 lens and an EF-S 55-250 for a total of €478. Next year you upgrade the short-zoom (EF 24-105, €349), the following year the mid-zoom (EF...

Of course using FF lens on a crop-sensor camera is an upgrade path. It is exactly what I did, and deliberately so, because it has enabled to spread the cost of getting to good glass on a FF camera over a long period.

There doesn't need to be an upgrade path, but it is in Canon's interest to provide one. I should add that there would be a path from M to R if Canon release an RF adapter for the M (like the EF to M adapter).

They certainly need cheaper lenses, whether under RF-S brand or not.

There is no upgrade path from M to R.

To be successful in the mirrorless space Canon needs a range of cameras that provide a path for amateurs to gradually upgrade their equipment from entry level (for me: a 450D and a couple of EF-S lenses nearly 15 years ago) to prosumer (EOS-R and mostly L glass). That means at least one and...

Very interested in this. Have been thinking about an FF body to replace my 7D.

But the mount! What about the mount? I want to replace my 7D with a FF sensor, don't mind mirrorless, but it has compatible with my existing lenses.

I ended up with the Tenba BYOB 7. It is just about big enough to carry the M6, 15-45mm and 18-150mm lens, plus EVF, spare battery, etc. The whole thing fits inside my business backpack when travelling for work (which I do a lot). The downside is that it is not really suitable as a bag to carry...

I have Pacsafe V25 Camsafe backpack. The top section is a normal backpack whilst the lower half is fitted with camera and lens friendly dividers, that are fully removable to make a pure backpack. Includes a laptop sleeve at the back and side access to the camera section. The bottom half is...

With the recent acquisition of an EOS M6 as "the camera that travels on business trips to interesting places" the writing is on the wall for my 7D. My plan is to replace it with a full frame body, probably a 5D. That got me wondering: what extra features might a 5D mark V have? When might it...
