EOS M10 and Canon EF-M 22mm f/2 STM?

Hello!!

I had Canon Powershot G9 and I have it as reference. It has served me well (at least mostly) for the last 10 years but now I feel I want to replace it. I have it as a referece for size/weight as well. Before that I had a EOS350D+kitlens and I hated it because of its bulkiness and heaviness and also no LCD-shooting. (LOL) But it did take nice photos.

I bought Powershot G7x Mark II by error, I thought by being Powershot G series it would be good and the seller said it is good, and having large sensor, good, large lens, good. Nice large opening.

(then I am not soo good at the technicals)

I usually use Av (Aperture priority) state, in low ISO in daylight, indoor, no tripod. That's how I work. What I take photos of is of products, in my case 30 cm (12 inches) tall dolls and sometimes smaller - macro photos. That's my main reason to buy.

Then if I can use it for outdoor photos too and touristy things too it is good, but not primary use and should not sacrifice the primary use.

G7x II was bad because I feel it produced too soft photos so I returned it.

Someone suggested me to buy EOS M10 and 28 mm lens. But then I realized he might go by the reference of "super close macro" when I really need to be able to photograph from a distance of 50-70 cm to catch the entire doll, but also close up photos (detail shots) from closer range.

I tried to find a lens that would work for me, but me being NOT tech-savvy I am a little unsure.

"Canon EF-M 22mm f/2 STM" has the advantage of being small.

Will this combination work for me, or would you like to suggest something else, or even entirely another camera?

My photos I took with G9 and the main motif,

I sell doll clothes I make so that's why.

Thank you so much,

I don't the M10 and 22mm f/2 would improve much with those type photos.  In fact it may be more difficult with the M10 's larger sensor (it has a smaller "depth of field")
