Opinion: Canon must avoid repeating the EOS M's mistakes
Those two cameras are different beasts from the EOS M, most obviously because they share the same RF-mount as Canon's full-frame mirrorless cameras. This make sense; rather than separate its hobbyist and pro cameras into incompatible families, Canon is finally following the one-mount strategy of its arch rivals Sony and Nikon.
Something else that the EOS M got very right was its touchscreen. It's taken cameras agonizingly long to embrace touchscreens, particularly ones that work with their menus, but the EOS M did it back in 2012 with a responsive panel that put many later cameras to shame. Like Nikon, Canon took the latter route. Its EF-EOS M adapter meant EOS M owners had, in theory, access to over 60 DSLR lenses. Yet most of these weren't a good fit for compact mirrorless camera . And it meant Canon could afford to be somewhat lazy with the introduction of proper native glass that could have elevated the EOS M, and its successors, to exciting mirrorless heights.
The Canon EOS R7 and EOS R10 almost certainly mark the end of the EOS M series, which started ten years ago today.
