Looks like the rumored M50 is going to be a mid range camera, I still can't imagine how this will fit within the line up with the m6 and m5 I can't think of anything spec they can change from the m5/m6, to get another model in.
I think that the base M/M2/M10 filled a price point that is well below the M3/M100/M5/M6.
The M100 pitch was quality, connectivity, social media to a higher income target but that IMHO leaves a gap for a ‘starter’ M body.
The M10 lacks the full connectivity that might be a requirement for more serious SM feed on a low budget.
A bit of a guess but an M50 might be a stripped M100 style, single sensor, BT, WiFi, NFC which might be suited to the Selphy 1300 printer?
Could possibly be. I was wondering if canon would do what fuji have done with the xa5 they have just released, but to me, that would be the M6.
Got to love the rumours keeping us guessing, not long now till cp+!

But what’s ‘mid-range’?Looks like the rumored M50 is going to be a mid range camera, I still can't imagine how this will fit within the line up with the m6 and m5 I can't think of anything spec they can change from the m5/m6, to get another model in.
But what’s ‘mid-range’?
I’d describe the M5 as a ‘mid-range’ camera as it’s squarely sat with the mid range DSLR’s.
But if we call the M5 their ‘top of the range mirrorless’ then midrange would be the M6, with almost all the features of the M5, just cut down enough to be cheaper.
Frankly my luck says a new camera will have an EVF without the pseudo DSLR styling, because that’s what I’ve wished for and now my M5 is finally on the way, it’ll turn up.
But like Steve says, we really need some decent M lenses if the cameras are to be taken seriously.
I agree, it's about time they did something special, if they were as committed as fuji it would be great.But what’s ‘mid-range’?

Sounds great Steve ( @Hugh Jarse )
I’m going all Godox, and one of the purchases will be the TT350 which I’ll pair with the M5.
Only thing I can think of is a stripped back version like the M10/M100 but with a built in EVF. Would kind of carry on the 5 numbering system of the M5 and G5x having EVF's. Fun to speculate of course, but who knows how Canon work out what their numbering system means
I’ve seen the one in for sale, I was about to post I’d be interested in the 22 but was beaten to it.There is a full M kit with the 22mm in the for sale section but another member has put a first dib on it should the seller choose to split.
The usual grey ebay sellers seem to have sold up their 22mm stock from split box kits sourced from the Far East. Painful for you Phil but I got one of those for £60 delivered back when Argos were doing the M kit for £199.99.
They are holding their price in the USA too.
As noted above, the original M with Magic Lantern is a great performer so vLoggers are picking them up for their use.
Will keep an eye out for a 22mm but they have become hot property.

There’s one on eBay that’s not a fortune, but more than I was hoping to pay.
I’m not in a hurry, but nor am I very patient.
Well the M5 is here, but I can’t find a 22mm for sale anywhere
I’ve searched the thread, is there a decent resource on 3rd party EF-m lenses anywhere, I’m not a big fan of the adaptor, it’s gonna be massive with the 35mm Art.
That’s an interesting list, but confirms my suspicions that my 3 lens kit would be 22 st-m along with my 35mm Art and 85 1.8.Just been posted today on dpreview, a list of lenses to fit the EF-M mount though most of the third party ones are manual focus.

Maybe of some help, though hard to find anything comparable to the 22mm for price/quality.

I might be tempted by a 55mm 1.4 Manual lens, but I’d also like to see a fastish 16mm or thereabouts
Oh the good old days pre M5/6 when you could get the 22mm f2 for £75 on eBay.
Guys, I’m after a bit of advice, and admit to not reading the whole of this thread yet.
I use a 5D4 most of the time, but have a 80D as a traveling light camera. I love both, but cant help feel as a travel camera i can get smaller.
So, my idea is to sell the 80D, and get the M5 (or maybe M6, but probably not) and use my EF-S lenses, and maybe one or two M lenses at a later date. Not a huge weight saving but when we go on holiday it will be enough, and for day to day walking to and from work, again enough.
My question is how well do the EF-S lenses work on the M series now (with adapter, obviously). I had the original M and hated it. I’m not looking to do sports or fast action, but will i find the AF too sluggish? Ill be mainly using my 18-135 Nano and probably my 10-18 STM.
I’m not after comparing it to the 80D, i know what I’m giving up as far as ergonomics and usability goes, and well aware of what Mirroless cameras offer, just how much will i struggle to get decent AF with non M lenses.
And moments later one turned up on MPB.My feeling - if a 22mm is a must have, go grey at £160 rather than used at £120.
Steve
The AF on both M5/M6 is light years ahead of the original M.
I use a few EF and EF-S lenses with the M5 mainly. The larger/heavier lenses are comfortable on the M5 but less so with the M6. Video with the 18-135 STM is very good as are stills. The newer Nano version should be as good as you get on your 80D as much of the M5 systems are the same.
On the M Lenses, the winners are the 11-22, 22 and 55-200. Until I got the M5, the EF-S 10-18 was my main UWA lens.
I would suggest ignoring the EF-M 28mm macrolite. For the money there are better, albeit needing the adapter. I have tried three EF-M 18-150 lenses and had a lot of CA with them all. The 15-45 is a capable lens but at 32mm the fastest it will be is f/6.3 all the way to 45mm, makes dusk a nightmare. I have the Sigma EX 30mm f/1.4 ART for evening walkabouts. It sits well on the M5 and M6. My 22mm M lens spends most of its time on the M6.
If I had to choose on one body it would be the M5. The M6/22m pairing is superb.
Another query ,I have the sigma 150 o.s macro and I,m thinking about getting a m3 to use with it rather than having to swop lenses around ,.anyone used a combo like that for macro and does it works o.k
Don’t need to be cutting edgeNot what I expected!
Interesting
Now some cutting edge primes.......
