For a bit of fun tonight, a theoretical matchup of upcoming offerings based off the existing rumor that both the M5 and M6 mark II's will sport a RP EVF. The only way I figure this is true is if it's in fact a pop-up EVF in the M6 which would make sense why they'd launch alongside each other... It's a difference in preference for similar groups of folks that have different needs.

Would you rather, all specs being equal (DIGIC8, 32MP sensor, no crop 4K etc etc)...

Interesting!

I am presuming, the original M, M2, M3 will be discontinued and will go with: M5 (equivalent to 7D series), M6 (equivalent to xxD series) and Mxx (equivalent to xxxD series).

No, they'll continue a M100 of sorts which the M100 is the spiritual successor to the M, M2 and M10.

The M6 is the successor to the M3.

The M5, was the first flagship model.

I could go with either M6 II & M5 II series because of the availability of dials and buttons. I do not want the M50 as I am not accustomed to one dial operation.

If I absolutely have to pick one, I'll go with M6 II, provided it retains the same size and buttons/dials as the present M6.

The catch, the M100's successor, may be a M50 of sorts; possibly 24MP APS-C with DIGIC8 vs the more expensive, larger M5 / M6 II will probably sport the newer sensor and DIGIC8, whatever specs that newer sensor has.
