I'm not leaving the M.

SL2 is still to big for me and you can only use (bigger) EF lenses and no option for some small ones. M5/M6 have the option for some small lenses like the 22mm, 11-22mm etc. Also an M5/M6 is no bigger then the SL2 when using the adapter to use EF lenses.

Also a shame it only got a 9 point AF unit from years ago when using OVF another reason for me why not to buy the SL2. When only using Liveview an M6 would be a smaller option and have the same AF etc. Also very slow burst of only 3.5fps when using CAF where M5/M6 do 7 fps in burst.

The price is more interesting of the SL2 and also the articulating screen is more useful. But other than that I see no advantages over an M5 or M6.
