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".

Thanks for your experience. In m50 I like some eye detect functionality btw. It should help in events and portrait photography.

Agreed. Also, the "touch and drag" feature whilst looking through the EVF (I use the bottom right quadrant) is by far my favourite feature on the M50 - so convenient and fast..

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..

The hypothetical M6II with a built-in EVF is my dream camera right now

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.

I agree, the lens is very interesting Indeed. Probably I will buy it some day.
