Amazing body, shame about the lens selection

...some folks who are (were) primarily Micro 4/3 users looking into other brands also.

I'm a multi-system user and I enjoy using my Micro 4/3 cameras (from both Panny and Olympus) very much.  However, on the M43 side of the house, I tend to maintain the older cameras.  The Panny GF1 and GX1 are just two of them and I enjoy their use, very, very much.

Having said that, I originally jumped into the EOS M side of the house after seeing some fire-sale EOS M's listed on eBay 5-6 years ago.  I pounced, really not expecting much, but after the M arrived (with kit lens and flash unit), I was immediately enamored with its performance.  That got me hooked and I then joined the EOS M fold.

But like quite a few others, I've been critical of Canon for not releasing a wide variety of lenses.  When you consider that more bodies (since the original M) have been released as opposed to the small amount of lens offerings (EF-M series), it becomes somewhat embarrassing IMO.  But, that won't stop me from enjoying the M line of cameras.

As for the color tonality capabilities of the M line of cameras, I must say that I prefer how they render colors over how Panasonic does it.  I enjoy the color renderings of various Olympus cameras (much warmer), but at times they tend to favor the red channel a bit too much, in particular with skin tones.  For skin tones (overall), I prefer both the Fuji and Canon camera offerings.  But that's subjective, I know...

So glad to see you like the M6.  I wouldn't mind having the M6, but I'm still maintaining the M, M2, M3, M100, and M50 - so getting another body among the current crop of offerings would be superfluous.  I have no clue what else Canon will offer within the next 6 months in the M line.  Rumors have it that an M5 II will be coming, along with an M100 replacement - who knows.  For those of us who shoot with a variety of systems, we tend to focus our expectations on different camera fronts and that can keep us occupied to be sure.
