Is the M6 still worth it?

Re: Is the M6 still worth it?

Yes. It's a great all-around performer. AF is excellent, fast, accurate, and, contrary to what a few people have said, good in low light (especially with fast lenses). Image quality is what you'd expect from a modern crop sensor, which is excellent for all brands (the differences between the performance of modern crop sensors are only noticeable in numerical scores on stress tests. No-one can actually tell the difference in real-world results). For me, the lack of built-in EVF, coupled with the availability of an external one, makes it ideal. I usually shoot my M6 without EVF, at shorter focal lengths. That is, with the 22, 32, and 11-22. When I'm using the 18-150, I put on the EVF. It has replaced my 7DII as my main camera. I now use the 7DII almost exclusively for sports.

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.
