EF-M 8-15mm fisheye
I wonder why for two reasons:
1. You can mount the existing EF 8-15mm f/4L with an adapter.
2. You'll get diagonal fisheye, but not circular fisheye. Why not hope for an EF-M 5-10mm?

EF-M 8-15mm fisheye
because it wasn't an 8-16. the patent we found for this, had a 5-10mm APS-C fisheye and an 8-16 full frame fisheye.I wonder why for two reasons:

How. Does reality factor in to Canon’s plans? If we’re talking about worldwide sales Canon was proud to concede FF mirrorlesss to Sony and anyone else. It was an unexpected shift in plans that brought about their FF mirrorless cameras, neither of which are truly competitive nor selling well. The RF mount coupled with the RP is considered by most (including Canon) to be a massive push from APS-C to FF, taking a vast majority of internals from their EF-M cameras to piece together the RP. I don’t know how you definen arbitrary, but if I was a Canon APS-C shooter (DSLR or mirrorless) that move would feel rather arbitrary to me, especially Canon being the only company that isn’t rumored to be developing an APS-C model with their latest and greatest mirrorless mount and lenses.
I’m just curious how you arrived at your conclusions?
How do you like your RRS L bracket on your R? Especially regarding the flip screen?Let me sum it up for you in 1,000 words. View attachment 184495
Bummer about the M6. I quite like that the viewfinder is optional, so depending on the situations the camera can be even more compact, or a tad more sunshine-friendly with the viewfinder attached. (Even though, perpetually: when you push and hold the "downward" or "info" button for over a second on the M6, as well as the higher range Powershots, the display will temporarily light up at the brightest setting. Works for some.)Good that M stays alive and there will be 2 new lenses! Bad if M6 is not updated. Range finder format makes much more sense to me. I guess just because people are used to look at the viewfinder.
Construction is the usual RRS high standard. Seems Canon put a little hole in the bottom of the R, and RRS put a pin in it so there’s no twist whatsoever.How do you like your RRS L bracket on your R? Especially regarding the flip screen?
I assume it will be an M50 without the viewfinder. if it keeps the vari-angle touchscreen and same 24MP sensor then it will be an instant hit for vloggers and video shooters looking for a B cam with DPAF.What's the M500?
In that case it will be the smallest, lightest and cheapest Canon camera with eye AF.I assum it will be

Now add G7X there.Let me sum it up for you in 1,000 words.
Relevant if you take pictures without a lens attached to your camera. How has that been working out for you?
Put an iPhone there, if sensor size and the ability to change lenses don’t matter to you. They matter to me.Now add G7X there.
But that's the point. Canon could produce small lens for the EOS-RP like they do for the M and probably will do so.Relevant if you take pictures without a lens attached to your camera. How has that been working out for you?
When sensor size matters to me, I prefer full frame cameras. When the ability to change lenses matters to me, I prefer big body cameras as well (TS-E 17 is kinda pointless on a crop camera, and if I carry a 100-400, camera being M-sized doesn't really help).Put an iPhone there, if sensor size and the ability to change lenses don’t matter to you.

I have had the external EVF with M6; it came as a free gift from B&H but I have only used it a couple of times. I think the LCD in back of the camera is much larger and brighter than the little one in EVF. Then, there is also shooting remotely by your phone, which I used only a couple of times more than EVF. Also, shooting from hip that I do much more than EVF.People like me who positively hate having to look at the little screenat the back of a camera, especially in sunshine.
I'll never understand how one can buy a camera without a viewfinder (like I bought that cute little Olympus Pen).
Maybe I'm stupid (I certainly am), but I'm also unable to use live-view...in daylight.
Perhaps they could...but they haven’t. But let me get this straight, you are basing your lack of understanding of the M system’s appeal on the current lack of some hypothetical future lenses Canon may or may not produce? Truly, you have a dizzying intellect.But that's the point. Canon could produce small lens for the EOS-RP like they do for the M and probably will do so.
That’s why there is an EOS R in the picture. Regardless, adding a point and shoot camera into the mix is seriously moving the goalposts for the comparison.When sensor size matters to me, I prefer full frame cameras.
