@ Klaus: No, I am not saying that!
I have always marveled at Canon's marketing successes. Why, they have never made a single "L" lens for EF-S, and yet crop sensors cameras and lenses seem to be where the money is!
What I meant is that in a contracting market you are more obligated to provide value. Maybe they think they can sell 1/2.3" imager based all-in-one cameras, or at the very least those tiny rebels with the plastic lenses. But they haven't shown they can compete in mirrorless. The one area they will confine their lens development.
I was really disappointed to hear how sorry there mirrorless 1:2 macro was! That was not exactly a demanding spec to deliver on!
Anyways, just for the sake of the argument, I'm not so sure that the cameras aren't making the most money. You see how little they can sell the cheaper model cameras with the same sensors, and much the same capabilities as their high end cameras. 5D Mk iv price versus EOS R?
If anything I'm saying maybe they should have made a mount that was not so inviting to lower priced far superior (in some cases) EF lenses. But just as well that they did!
