Autofocus sometimes hunts in very low light, no matter the lens, and the display frame rate drops hard during this.

I missed this the first time around. I have an M6 and an M50. Canon greatly improved the abysmal low light performance with the M50. Low light AF on my M6 is particularly painful when my 15-45mm lens is used in the f/6.3 range (longer than 35mm.) It is usable on my M50.

I hope there is an M6 mark 2 with M50 (or better) internals because the M50 seems like a huge step back ergonomically compared to it and the M5. I can't understand why they released two bodies with great controls and then release one with improved hardware inside and a nice tilting LCD but controls that look a step up from a point and shoot. I can only imagine this is so they can start creeping new features in slowly for repeat sales?

EDIT: I should also add that I recently picked up the 32mm and am loving it, absolutely top tier lens. And after more varied use have found that my complaints about the auto white balance being slightly unpleasant were mostly exaggerated, it's been really surprising me.
