I've never been able to determine what the market for a higher-end APS-C camera is. Nikon and Canon once offered high-end models, which indicates that at the the time they both saw a market. Then they both let the bodies slide into oblivion, which indicates that didn't see a market. Then Canon offered a 90D and now an R7 that seem to indicate they see an "almost professional" market. In the meantime, Fuji and Olympus have offered high-end crop and 2x crop bodies.Fuji is a niche player in the ILC market. It may seem counterintuitive, but that actually suggests the ‘professional APS-C market’ is small. The forest is full of bamboo trees, but if you’re a little monkey and the 800 pound gorilla wants to eat bamboo, you’re better off going after the grubs on the forest floor.
I have to admit that I don't have a clue about Canon's decisions. I am totally perplexed by where Canon seems to be going with crop-sensor R bodies, especially since they are able to sell refurbished full-frame RPs for $600, which is solidly in Rebel territory.
