I find comments like this incredibly misinformed.

The OP asked a question and I answered it.

Actually, no you didn't. The OP asked, "if money were no object, which of *these* cameras would you buy?" You didn't answer that question. You answered the question, "if money were no object, would you buy either of these cameras?". The OP was only asking about the difference between the M6 and M100. You decided that you knew better than the OP what the OP really wanted to know. This kind of arrogance is very common on these forums, so you're certainly not alone in displaying it. Frequently, someone posts a question which goes like this: "so, I've definitely decided that I'm going to be buying one of the following two (or three) cameras, or lenses: A or B. Please let me know what you think of the differences between them." Then, plenty of posters, who clearly know more about what the poster really wants chime in with recommendations to buy completely different things. So helpful.

Arrogance?  Really?  By your own metric one could say your post is just as arrogant.  When the OP put the metric of "money is no object" in his question it broadens the scope of VIABLE answers greatly.  I understand that many don't like to hear criticism of gear they have invested in but I am not going to paint over these criticisms and not bring them to light where it is appropriate.

It might not be a popular answer with some hardened Canon fans but it is valid none the less.

What is great for one person isn't necessarily great for another. I've had many different cameras, but I find the M6 to be superb. I'm very happy with the IQ even coming from a Leica MP240, the size is excellent, the fact I can use my EF50mm f1.2 is brilliant and I can have C1 as photos, C2 for regular 24fps video and then the video option setup as 60fps video.

Add to this the tilting EVF I purchased very cheaply, and I couldn't be happier.

Quote all the on-paper specs you want, but so far I find the M6 to be the best mirrorless option I've owned.

I am glad you are satisfied with it. I never said the M6 was a bad camera but let's be honest, if price was no concern it wouldn't be the first choice for many photographers. The anemic EF-M lens catalog automatically disqualifies any M camera from a "price is no object" list.

As the length of a thread approaches 150, the probability that someone will make the obvious "it's not the camera, it's the photographer" remark approaches 1.
