Re: M6 Mark II: Very portable and capable

I really like my M6 MK1 and do believe that MK2 is even better, but I'm not happy because of one thing - the lack of built-in EVF. This is so annoying, I don't want it as optional. There are other compact cameras with built-in EVF (Sony A6000, Fuji XE3), they're really compact and budget friendly as well. My previous camera was Sony A6000 and I thought that lack of EVF in new Canon will not be a problem, but I miss it.
And there is no other EOS M cameras to upgrade. They have built-in EVF, but M50 has only one control dial (it's not enough for photography),
I recently shot a wedding with the M50 - it was a smallish "destination" wedding where as a guest I stood in for the photographer that pulled out on the 11th hour. For sure I wish I had my wedding workhorse (5DIII) but managed just fine with the M50( with 22/2, 15-45 and EF85/1.8) - in fact for certain aspects (such as focusing) I felt that the M50 performed better.. Yes I agree that it would have been better with a 2nd dial on the top but I would not go as far as saying that its "not enough for photography".
Regardless, I think we agree in one thing that the M6II with a built-in EVF would make the ultimate mirrorless camera for so many people..
M5 is nice and has everything what I need but too outdated. No EVF is OK for cameras like M100/200 but not for the level of M6.
Agree 100%
Canon M is actually good for selection of compact lenses: 11-22 wide-angle, 22mm f2 pancake, 32mm f 1.4 really sharp, very compact 55-200 and tons compatible EF lenses via adapters, but selection of cameras is poor.
Add the Sigma 56/1.4 to the list - very impressive IQ - my favourite EF-M lens now..
