Excellent post on the M6II and the often under-rated M50.
Now ,if only Canon produces an M50II (M6II + built-in EVF) and a "party-lens" (according to RLight) EF-M 15-65 f/2.8 or f/4 would that not be mirrorless perfection!
it is clear on the compact side that EVFs are a constant struggle with Canon and you wonder if it is the parsimonious accountants stripping the camera back to the basics in traditional Canon fashion, the loyal fans will buy it anyway,
It's also possible that the decision to include a removable EVF is actually a good design. Some of us, who have forty or more years of experience in photography, realize the advantages of a smaller camera that allows you to choose when you want to add the EVF, and when you want to leave it off. There's nothing magical, or natural, about shooting at eye-level with the camera pressed against your face. It's just one possibility among many others. I prefer it for shooting with long lenses, but I prefer using the screen for other shooting (which is most of my shooting). I know it's hard to understand other people, but you might want to try sometimes, instead of assuming that anyone who not only accepts but actually embraces something you don't like must only be acting from "loyalty" and not making a reasoned choice.
or just an empty patents drawer - who knows. The G3X long zoom not having one was utterly bonkers and the G5X now turning in to a RX100 clone with that pop up thing but not the current auto-deploying one is hardly ideal. The latter implies the empty patents drawer.

As the length of a thread approaches 150, the probability that someone will make the obvious "it's not the camera, it's the photographer" remark approaches 1.
