Well with the rumored M50 Mark II on the horizon, I’m going to have to decide which body to designate as my full-time macro shooter. With a fully articulating LCD the M50ii would be the natural choice IMO. But if the AF outperforms the M6ii’s, then I may want to assign it to general duties instead. Egad, I wasn’t expecting this quandary (but it’s a good one to be in).

You can always sell the M6mkII and get 2x M50mkII.

No way! I love the M6ii’s compact form-factor and the (ultra-fast) tilting LCD waaay too much for general shooting.

I see. Actually it's the same here.

The flippy LCD of the M50ii will come in handy when shooting macros though. I honestly don’t think I’ll ever use the M50ii’s EVF.

I would prefer the form factor of the original M5: tilting screen + viewfinder.

Yeah, I think Canon lost a lot of sales by skipping the M5ii.

Even though I understand Canon’s penchant for strict product line differentiation, it doesn’t mean that I either agree with or like it.  

That said (if these rumors hold true) I’m really looking forward to the M50ii, especially if it has the 32 MP sensor and fast processor.  Does one have your name on it?
