...many topics posted here on CR are 'carefully' discussed at the link above (I've posted the French-to-English translation), by Canon execs with names some readers here will recognize:
Feom Go Tokura (General Manager of Imaging Division):
'As for the evolution on the user side, the demand for photography is still very high. But we are increasingly seeing a trend towards video."
"If we project ourselves into the future, we can no longer be satisfied with 2D images. The next step is obviously 3D, virtual reality and augmented reallity.'
"And you can expect there to be a '1', which is currently being worked on and will be our most premium model."
=====
From Tetsuji Kiyomi (ICB Division Manager in charge of Products):
"Thus, compactness and lightness are therefore two common points between the APS-C models of the EOS R range and those of the EOS M series. However, the size of the M-series enclosures is even smaller, and there is still a strong demand for this from our customers. This means that we will continue to offer the EOS M series as we need to meet this high demand."
=====
Other comments from Canon execs aim to explain the market segmentation of the various Canon R bodies, the naming of the R8, as well as the Canon policies concerningthird-party R lenses.
They are quite careful with their chosen words in most of this interview...and to my eyes and brain generally leave a lot of wiggle room.
Everybody has an opinion here on CR. Here's mine: Canon is in good hands.
