I've seen a topic about the future of the EF/EF-S mounts now that the R mount has been launched
Honestly, i don't really care about that topic because it's clear the the EF mount is not going anywhere considering the number of bodies sold in the 30 years of existance
EF-M however...is quite new to the canon world and it hasn't been shown a lot of love neither from canon itself or any of the third party manufacturers (talking about the big ones, not small chinese companies)
one could argue that canon is committed to the EF-M mount by launching this new 32 1.4 but i'm not convinced: there is no higher end zoom to replace the kit lens (like the EF-S 17-50 2.8 or the 15-85), there is no prime longer than 32mm, longest native lens is 200mm and it's 6.3
sony on the other hand, have 3 constant aperture zooms for their aps-c cameras
don't compare canon m to fuji x because fuji's entire focus was on crop sensors until recently
you will say why i don't just adapt? i do! i have the 55-250 STM which fits perfectly my M5, no complaints here, and i have also the 15-85 but this just looks like that EOS R with the 28-70 mounted...scaled down to 70% (someone will correct me on the proportions, it's the internet)
ok...rant over...
what do you think is the future of the EF-M mount? will it slowly vanish and be replaced with a small crop R camera? will it continue as a low cost/low expectations platform and see 1 lens every 2 years (best case)? will canon show it more love?
