![]() ![]() The mount was dead as far as Canon was concerned. But you have to know when to say when and know when and what to compromise.įirst, this mount was dead in 2018. So this lack of a growth-path makes it hard for me to agree with your recommendation, unless you already know in advance that you will never need to grow beyond it and will always be using both the system and it's lenses. Same with an entry-leven Fuji or M43s, but yes as you said they are more expensive, even their entry-level systems. ![]() ![]() If I would have bought an entry level Nikon DSLR I would have more growth option that would have allowed me to keep using my lenses on newer bodies (even if it would have been a crop mode). Neither the M6ii nor the M50 / M50ii offered me the kind of upgrade that would substantially improve on either of these. I was more and more unhappy about the image quality the sensor delivered, and some of the ergonomics. In my case, the limits I was hitting were not about the lenses because you can adapt EF lenses. When you buy your first camera system, you don't always know in advance how far you will be growing in your photography and whether you will eventually hit the limits of that system, or not. In my opinion, only if you already know that either you will never want to grow beyond that, or if you see this as a small second system next to your bigger camera system. Which is a pity, because some of these lenses are actually really fantastic, and also really small and light. I've got 5 EF-M lenses gathering dust on a shelf because I outgrew the limits of my M5 and couldn't make an upgrade within the M mount system that was meaningful enough, and didn't see any sign from Canon that a camera in the M mount system would be released that might be interesting for me. I'm sure a lot of people will be happy within the limits of the current M system, but it does appear to be a dead-end road right now and any upgrade to any other system will mean re-investment in all your lenses. When will Canon release a really new camera in the M system? An M5ii with seriously improved sensor and functionality, for instance? The M6ii was a new camera - the M50ii isn't even a new camera really, my understanding is that it doesn't even have any new hardware compared to the M50 but just some improvements in firmware. No new lenses forthcoming from Canon is an indication that development appears to have stopped. It's about the EF-M mount that just appears to be dying out. I think this is not about having "every new lens". ![]()
