Sounds like a way around that severe 4K crop on the EOS R and 5DIV.

It's funny how everybody raves about the GH5/s and yet it has a smaller 4k sensor than the R.Sounds like a way around that severe 4K crop on the EOS R and 5DIV.

Yes, and the GH5 video AF is a joke and the GH5s doesn't have video AF...Because people complain about what is perceived as a shortcoming - or a "crippling" of a feature...until they actually use it and realize that a crop when doing video is almost always a plus.
When you're using a GH5, you're mostly likely using one set of MFT lenses along with it, for both stills and video. The problem with the Canon 4K crop is, you might need a different set of lenses to shoot video with it, and that's an expensive, complicated hassle for non-video professionals. For many, it's preferable to use the same lenses for both stills and video. For others--like actual cinematographers--it's no big deal. But that's the source of the complaints I think.It's funny how everybody raves about the GH5/s and yet it has a smaller 4k sensor than the R.

lol. you guys don't give up ... but .. Canon APS-C = EOS M. I don't see an "if" here.
I would likely buy an original Canon speedbooster for EF lenses on EF-M.
I don't think Canon will do an RF mount focal reducer while they only have FF cameras, because it would be unusable for stills. They might not bother making one at all to make their lower megapixel Pro model more attractive, they just want to keep their models as segmented as possible. Unless they decide to move their S35mm Cinema cameras over to the new mount as well, then they might be more inclined to do it.
Looks like that they've made it 0.8x (probably to preserve optical quality), so the 'new' crop factor on the M series is 1.28x for stills and 2x for the M50 4k video.
If you read back, you can see that it was submitted earlier.Just because they've pattened it now doesn't mean it's coming out any time soon. Patents give us insight into their planning for the future.
How many EOS-M bodies have a magnesium chassis? How many of them have weather sealing? How many have both? The EOS-M series is not a professional series of cameras, it's a toy built for soccer moms. The final evolution from the powershot series. There are too many professional APS-C shooters out there for Canon not to make an APS-C R camera, and the EOS-M series is simply inadequate for that need. For christ sake, they don't even make a battery grip for any of the EOS-M cameras.

hmm, if this makes it to the market, it could mean that Canon sees no reason to make specialised fast lenses for EOS-M, just get the booster and slap an EF lens on. But how long will EF lenses live, when RF takes of ....

no need for an FF-sized but crop-sensored EOS R model.
About EOS-M: I really like the EF-M 32 for its compact size but if I could adapt e.g. the EF 2.0 100 with a 0.7 speedbooster it will become a moderately compact 1.4 70mm lens with a very useful FL (for me at least).
I am not shure about this - thinking of a photographer who wants to use RF 1.2 50 on a crop sensor due to quality reasons and the need for e.g. 10 fps with tracking
I don't understand the "crop" part in the sentence. Users able to afford super-premium lenses like RF 50/1.2 will just wait a bit for a higher-grade EOS R model with 10 fps tracking ("mirrorfree 1D-X III"). When needed, they will just flick a switch on the camera and shoot in crop mode on a 50-75 MP FF sensor to get 30 MP "crop" images.
There is a caveat: older EF lens designs like EF 100/2.0 and EF 85/1.8 got AF drives designed for use with off-sensor, detached Phase-AF in (D)SLRs. AF performance in live view or when adapted to mirrorfree cameras is ... "very pedestrian".
Newer EF lenses, especially with STM or Nano-USM AF drive are much better suited. I use EF 40/2.8 STM and 50/1.8 STM on EOS-M and they work well. Those 2 would also be my "prime candidates" (pun intended) ;-) for use with a "speedbooster" EF-M adapter.
Additionally a mechanical shutter has only to travel ~60% of the way compared to FF and the moving mass of the shutter blades is reduced by at least a factor of 2 ... if not more because you can use thinner blades too.
