Camera was bought specifically for travel. It has all the customisable features I require, including resolution, but is seriously let down by the poor quality of lenses by Canon, particularly the zoom range. Canon’s hype for this camera is therefore misleading, if not downright false. This means I’m unable to write anything too positive about the camera ‘cause I’ve yet to discover its real potential for taking high quality photographs!

lenses for it are: siggy 56 f1.4 and siggy 16 f1.4 and canon 32 f1.4 and canon 11-22

beyond that - a lot of buts

What about the 22f2? Everyone seems to praise that lens.

it's light, but not as good as the 32 f1.4

it is the FF equivalent of a 35 f3.2 without IS

btw - I studied m6ii and lenses for months and ended up buying an RP for $850 and a RF 24 -105 F4 L for $899 around xmas time.  I'm very pleased with the sooc jpgs

im on the fence right now about buying a m6ii.

I was on the fence for 3 months and skipped out

It seems to be a great camera but I’m just not super excited to buy it.

has no bright zoom lens

Not a huge fan of the removable eye sore evf either.

you can't put a flash or radio trigger on the hot shoe at same time  - non starter

But if it creates good imagines that’s ultimately what matters.

it does with the 11-22, 32 f1.4, 56 f1.4

also debating between the 15-45 and the 18-150 kit if I do end up buying one.

consider the RP instead with RF lenses

or wait for a m5ii/m50 ii with internal evf and IBIS
