Waiting on that 135mmMe too. We can have 2.8L IS zooms (all 3 of them) and no need for AFMA. It is not as flexible as a DSLR but for static or slow moving sujects there is no issue.

I do hope one of these is THE 5DV.Oh my ... 4 Canon cameras wedding photogs have no need for and no 5DV equivalent. If Canon thinks, that we want to move to the high megapixel nonsense, then they are pretty much wrong. And btw - high speed sports body with low megapixels has absolutly no sense. There is already 1DX III with low-enough resolution, and lower than 20mpx will surely not make 7D II followers happy.
What I also wonder is - if there is any truth to the EOS Rm, which would cost cca 800 USD, is there really still a future for the EOS-M cameras, apart from its relatively smaller bodies and lens?
Since you all are missing the point I’ll reiterate. Tech is better than ever and canon knows this. You all want light weight, this pixel amount or that amount of pixels or 4K or no k or two slots or the other long list of complaints. Canon and other company’s are not dumb. They know more than most of us. They try to deliver a product that meets most of the needs. If you get only one slot it’s because they know something you don’t. Writing data and cards are so good now that company’s are taking that into consideration to give all of you who complain about everything all that you can want and dream of in a small little package. And too answer your questions I have never had a card failure. I used to do weddings but I would rather get kicked in junk than photograph a wedding.I take it you have never photographed a wedding or had a card failure?
You mIght well believe that looking from your perspective of being a keen enthusiast with a very nice collection of new L glass, the bean counters at Canon might well disagree with you though. The numbers they look at tell a very different story as for many years the Rebel line has been the cash cow that keeps giving, don’t forget the USA market is accounting for a smaller and smaller percentage of world wide sales and emerging markets like China and India are not so quick to dismiss DSLR’s and those markets are particularly price sensitive. Canon can make DSLR Rebels surprisingly cheaply and still make money.Gonna say it again: The ASP-c Rebels are dead. M an FF will be it.

I don't think it's a throughput issue - the M6ii is already doing 14 fps on a 32MP sensor, and the 1Dxiii has an unlimited buffer at 16 fps recording both RAW and JPG at the same time, and can crank up to 20 fps in live view. Both cases should be a heck of a lot of throughput.Really disappointed and hope this isn’t true
If this news is true then canon doesn’t have their mirrorless tech ready yet and is hence stalling. They have high end glass and their is plenty of demand for high end bodies.
It seems that all they can do is get the high megapixel model out. I worry that speed and data throughput with mirrorless has been an issue if this rumor is true.
the Rii or high speed R with decent resolution is important
I just assume the M line will take over. I’m not sure, but I think they are in the Rebel price range. With a possible new ultra low dollar FF on the horizon, I just figured the Rebels were doomed.You mIght well believe that looking from your perspective of being a keen enthusiast with a very nice collection of new L glass, the bean counters at Canon might well disagree with you though.

Rebels cost very little to develop and they have a remarkable world wide reputation/brand recognition.
Specifically, I am interested in having the latest advancements in Autofocus and metering, like face/head/eye tracking, better predictive AF, and advanced metering, brought into a film camera.With less than 2 seconds of the frame buffer?
I see you mention M6II. Why not try 90D then for wildlife. OK not a pro super 7D like body but neither M6II is.
That way you could have M6II's sensor and DSLR's ergonomics for wildlife (enjoying at the same time the benefits of OVF which for wildlife is a plus) ?
Oh, there was a tree in that photo as well!This latest "rumor" is more what I anticipated Canon really doing. Looking forward to buying another. Below, EOS

We are all doomed -- eventually. But the Rebels and APS-C generally have a lot of life left in them. Many consumers prefer the "real camera" look and feel of DSLRs and the flexibility of the EF-S and EF lens system cannot be discounted. Unfortunately, Canon sacrificed that flexibility with the R and M systems. Think about the tried and true 70-300 mm kit lenses. Probably one of the most popular focal lengths ever made. There is simply nothing like it that will be available in a lens that fits both the R and M.I just assume the M line will take over. I’m not sure, but I think they are in the Rebel price range. With a possible new ultra low dollar FF on the horizon, I just figured the Rebels were doomed.
If a EOS R MK II comes out and it has more features as well as a new name as rumored, it may end up being the replacement for the 5D MK IV. I don't think Canon has internally committed to a 5D MK IV release, but I am sure they are developing one in the event they do decide to release it. I believe it all revolves around sales of mirrorless bodies and lenses. There is more profit in the RF lenses (Canon states that in their financial reports) so they will be going with the profit. Certainly, expect a few EOS camera bodies, but when??No 5DV or equivalent?
Since I have a 7DII (but use mostly 5DsR) for birding but I am thinking about getting 90D sometime in the future can you please clarify a little more? Like: Which kind of lenses did you use? (I use 100-400 but mostly 400DOII and 500II) Was the AF inconsistent in high fps AI servo cases mostly?I took a 90d to YNP/GTNP last year. I found that the AF would start to “lag“ and was inconsistent on medium bursts. Lack of real weather sealing is also an issue. I like the M6II over the 90d just wish they had done a weather sealed m5 II body. I hate the external EVFon M6II.
