I have never used Canon. However I have used all Fuji XT cameras and now own the XT4 with a variety of excellent lenses. Super cameras with high quality images. Very versatile and great for travel. I say this indicating that I also run a Nikon system (D850 and Z7 ii). These cameras and lenses are oustanding.

I don't know much about Canon, other than the fact that they are great cameras. I've been using Nikon DSLRs for over 20 years. They are heavy, as well as their lenses. The caveat, they take great pictures. Over the past year, I've included in my bag of cameras a couple of Fujifim cameras. I am primarily using my X-T2 with the 55-200mm lens on a daily basis. I really enjoy how the camera feels in my hand and the fact that all your controls, for the most part that are essential, are at your finger tips. I shoot a lot of wildlife in very low lighting, especially here on the east coast when 80% of the time in the winter it is overcast. I let the ISO go to max if it has to, and with the right exposure the images come out great. Here's a shot I took today of a Saw-whet owl that was hiding behind a bunch of branches in a spruce tree. Again, the lighting wasn't ideal but we pulled it off. Check out the fujifilm, I see they just introduced a 70-300mm lens which sounds tempting.

Fuji cameras are set apart from the rest by the controls. If you like the retro look, like the idea of a fantastic range of film simulations and analogue control then there is no better camera than the X-T4. However, what swayed me from Canon to Fuji was how the Fuji engages your emotions. If you come film days then this is about the closest you can get without spending a fortune. I originally bought the X100S because I loved the look of it. When I used it and saw the images it can produce I swapped completely to Fuji and now have several bodies including the X-T4. Quality is exceptional, it is a premium build and although like all the rest it isn't perfect, it is very close. If you want to look forward to going out shooting and feel the passion then Fuji is the way to go.

I think you are wrong photographers who have Canon, Nikon, Sony, Pentax, all feel the same way about their equipment as you obviously do about Fiji

No one knows the future of the M series, but Canon. And they ain't tellin'.

It's likely there won't be any more M series. But, even if there are, who's to say that an "M7" or "M5 Mark II" or whatever they call it would be what you want? Canon's "update" of the M50 with the Mark II was pretty uneventful. There have been rumors of an APS-C format R-series camera, which would probably be the final nail in the M-series coffin. But that's just a rumor. Only Canon knows what Canon is doing!

What's wrong with your M50? Even if the M-series is sunsetted, it's not like it's going to suddenly stop working.

I know there are limited lenses for the M-series. Canon themselves have only produced 9 of them, mostly zooms (and they discontinued one of those several years ago, so only 8 exist now). But what the EF-M lenses that do exist are pretty good and there are some third party lens alternatives that might meet your needs. I use an M5 and have it paired up with a Meike 12mm f/2.8 (manual focus), Canon EF-M 22mm f/2 (AF), Sigma 56mm f/1.4 (AF) and a vintage Tamron 90mm Macro (manual focus). The whole kit weighs about what one of my DSLRs weighs, with battery grip and a smaller lens installed. I've also got two other manual focus lenses for it, but decided to try the AF lenses instead. I'm still getting accustomed to the different "feel", small size and ergonomics of the M5, but it's a nice little camera that should serve well, for my purposes. I've recently gotten a set of macro extension tubes and am shopping for a small flash to use with it.

None of this takes away from the Fuji system. I don't use it personally, but everything Fuji I've used in the past... cameras, lenses and film... has been excellent. I have no doubt that the X-mount cameras and lenses are great, too, provided they meet your needs better than the Canon M-series. There certainly are more choices, with Fuji.

I gave Sony for the lighter and better constructed Fuji. Now shooting with X-S10, X-100V, and X-T4 which I take depends on what I plan on shooting. My always with me is the 100v and iPhone.

I had forgotten about this site but so glad it popped up in my search regarding switching from my M series to possibly a Fuji. Anxious to seeing the continuing comments.

The m series is better than equivalent Fuji because it is canon

I just returned a rented XT4 with 16-80 lens. It has a really nice feel to it. I believe in Murphy's law so I am much more comfortable with two memory cards. All my images were sharper on the XT4 and significantly less noise at higher ISOs. All this is as you would expect as the XT4 is significantly more expensive than an M50. I received a reasonable estimate for my M50 and lenses from KEH so an XT4 is definitely in my future. I suspect my first lens (I'll get the 16-80 in the kit) will be the new 70-300.
