I wasn't enough happy with Canon M6 without built-in EVF, so I've switched to M5, so much better now.

Probably for occasional travel shots the camera without EVF is quite enough, but for the situations like:

- using manual focus lens

I find that easier with the screen

- portraits

Also, for me, easier with the screen, and allows for more angles

- long zoom shots, wild life photography

Yes, I use the EVF for that

- bright sunny day

Anti-glare screen protector and brightening screen takes care of that for me

The EVF is what you need.

PS: And I know that for M6 you can buy the optional EVF, but it's not an option for me. It's not a convenient solution, especially when you need to use an external flash..

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.
