A Mavic 3 might come out next month, or maybe never.
No-one knows.
Does it do what you want/need better than any other DJI drone?
If yes, then buy it.

As you are in the EU,  the M2P will fall into the legacy category in a couple of days limiting where you can legally use it.  I'd wait for the Mavic 3 at this point.

How long would you wait?
Phantom flyers have waited over 4 years since the P4 pro was released but still there's no P5.
If the OP wants/needs an M2, what's the point waiting for something that might never show up or might take years.

If you are going to wait on the 3 then why not just wait on the 4 or 5?  Surely they will be even better/

M2P already an outdated product. It'll not receive FW updates for additional abilities/improvements. MA2 is a better option already in many points. DJI'll wait till the regulations all clear and will release M3P and keep it updated for about 2 years at least. So if you ask me, you can wait couple of months or buy a MA2 now.

MA2 also becomes very limited next week where it can be flown, the only safe.legal option would be the new mini 2.

Waypoints have been added to the maven app and will soon be added to Litchi,  but come next week the MA2 is still legally limited. The only legal option is going to be the Mini 2.

I only heared that you have to do a flying licence if the drone is over 250. But yeah, firstly I will wait and see what will be allowed and what not.
EDIT: Well, now I read  that the big difference  between Mini 2 and MA2/M3 is that, you will need the small EU-drone-licence, you Must have a distance of 30m from humans and a distance from 150m to Residential areas.

Not just 150 from residential, it also includes parks, recreation areas, industrial and commercial areas.

The think is that I would only take pictures from Hauses for a Company... Mini 2 would fit my needs, but are this 150 also important if I fly on the land of the company? Like if there are others houses next to one house of the company my I still fly?

If yes I would buy MA2 or wait for M3, if not I think mini 2 would be better...

As it currently stands to operate commercially for a company requires a licence and insurance and that would change the rules on how close you can be.

MM2 is just a toy still. There is missing smart fly capabilities and obstacle avoidance. It also will definitely have some limitations to fly. The rules not clear yet but i don't think that MM2 can fly urban areas freely in near future.

And i forget to indicate; video transmition capabilities and range also very limited on MM2.

All in all best thing to do is waiting for M3P, i'm sure it wll include all the latest regulations. But if you ask me, even DJI don't know when.

Can't agree more, and it's not a beginner's drone either, except for its price. In my opinion, there's no such thing as a beginner's drone. Beginners need to learn all the basics and acquire all the good habits first, or we'll keep seeing all these posts regarding flyaways, ocean landings, and drones crashing themselves...
