Re: Thanks! I decided on the M6 (with pics).

Thanks everyone for your answers and advice. Today I went to a camera store in San Jose and played with both cameras, ended up getting the M6 (silver style) with the 15-45mm and EF to M adapter. The 15-45 will likely be used most often on the camera, especially when it's in my wife's purse, and it will be intended to shoot straight to Facebook which is her style.

Here it is (photos shot with my 1+1 phone).

Also, I figured, what the heck - How does my 300mm f/4L IS look on it...

And while I have it out, the 85mm f/1.2L II

Finally, comparing my 5D III and 24mm f/1.4L II and a flash vs the EOS M6 + 15-45mm IS + internal flash. Oh, and the M6 is sitting on my Nexus 5X phone which is the same model phone she uses to take pictures... I'd call that an upgrade that still fits in her pocket book (unlike my camera).

Her birthday is just a week away. I'd box it up and all, except that we're taking our 2 kids and leaving for an 11 day cruise from Vancouver to Alaska and spending 4 days in Denali National Park. So starting with this vacation, we'll get better selfies, and I'll have some pics to point to when we come back.

that should work, I'll be visiting Anchorage this month
