I wasn't going to go there, but this is exactly what I want too. Waiting until the holidays to see if the R6 goes on sale, but I think I'm going to miss that 10MP.I would love an R Mark 2 with IBIS and joystick. For my uses just about perfect.

Actually, you'll have to wait around 0.5 years or less for a similar Canon RF body:Sounds like canon needs to make a FF M to compete. So we’ll probably see it in 2-3 years
Unfortunately, there are no optics for such a Canon camera. For the Sony camera, there are already such optics at the moment (both native and third-party, Tamron, Samyang) and they promise to release also specialized optics.Actually, you'll have to wait around 0.5 years or less for a similar Canon RF body:

A budget EOS R body is coming in the first half of 2021 [CR2]
The Canon EOS RP is currently the cheapest entry point for the EOS R system. It can currently be had for $999 USD. I have been told that Canon will introducewww.canonrumors.com
Although probably coming in a less cramped Form factor, that body should be also small. After all, the RP is already light and compact, and it has a viewfinder.
Well, there is a rumored 24-70 f/4, but no telling how small it will be.Unfortunately, there are no optics for such a Canon camera. For the Sony camera, there are already such optics at the moment (both native and third-party, Tamron, Samyang) and they promise to release also specialized optics.
A pair of Canon lenses such as 20-70 / 4-5.6 and 70-300 / 4-5.6 could solve this problem.
Panasonic has managed to make a compact and lightweight lens for the FF camera 20-60 / 3.5-5.6, 350 g, with a maximum magnification of 0.43x. Dust and splash proof! Excellent zoom range! Including for video lovers. The price is not prohibitive!Well, there is a rumored 24-70 f/4, but no telling how small it will be.
I think that if I were Canon, and I were going to make a very small body like this, I’d opt for the R sensor, have a detachable eyepiece like the M6 II, and maybe have a kit lens similar to what you mentioned. Collapsible like the 15-45 M lens.
Undercut the Sony price by a few hundred and watch the sales roll in.
Because not enough time has passed yet. We've seen a number of compact and slow zoom patents for RF so far. Once the next lower end bodies are introduced, we'll surely see some of those be released as real products.Panasonic has managed to make a compact and lightweight lens for the FF camera 20-60 / 3.5-5.6, 350 g, with a maximum magnification of 0.43x.

Why doesn't Canon repeat this feat without the lens folding?![]()
The whole point of the concept is you wouldnt be putting a 70-200 on the camera. They've said they are gonna release more compact lenses to accompany this; add in a lens line line Tamron's f/2.8 primes and it becomes a great travel option.I just don't know how a 70-200 would fit on this and be comfortable to hold and use?
Agreed. I would love to see a company give its designers an Olympus XA and Stylus/Mju to play with and task them with creating a FF digital equivalent. (I owned each when they were new.)Olympus Stylus 80 Wide: 120x64x49 (with lens!)
I wish we had some of our FF digital cameras as compact as our film P&S cameras used to be.
that’s why I bought the grip instantly with my RPI have used Sony APS-C cameras like that and I think the grip is just too short.
The RP is a slight bit cramped compared to the R, but probably still much more easy to handle than this one.
