vloggin camera advice please

I'm thinking of getting an M camera for personal vlogging, and was hoping someone could advise me on which canon m-series camera to get

My requirements:

tilt or swivel touch screen

external microphone jack and no horrible AGC (Active Gain COntrol) or compression artifacts

wide angle lens. I'm thinking the 22/2

doesn't need super good low-light since this I can control the lighting

18 mpixels would be ok

doesn't need fast AF since the scenes would be relatively static

not too expensive

I think one of these would do: M2, M3, M6

I looked on ebay and I can get the M2 for < $200

The 22/2 lens seems around $200

So that would be around $400 for the M2 + lens. The others would be more expensive.

If I use an external mic like the ETM-008 (or Rode Video Mic Me) would I get good

audio quality?

Thanks
