M6 II or xt4?

Fuji's going to give you "better" glass that's APS-C native.

Canon's going to give you more economical and smaller footprint offerings.

Canon's going to give you better EF adaptability and autofocus. Fuji will give you weather sealing.

It comes down to what your use case is in my book. The EOS M system can be a one shop stop, if the lenses you want are available to it. If not, Fuji.

However, if the M is a second camera, duh. Like don't blink, buy it. The M system has a smaller footprint both in size and weight, and cost, vs Fuji.

Where the Fuji "wins" to your point is their specialized glass.

However comma, be careful, the R system, takes on the Fuji X system when you start to consider offerings like the RF 35mm, RF 24-240, RF 24-105 f/4-7.1 or other upcoming RF 50mm f/1.8, and the already released and soon shipping RF 85mm f/2. That's where all the sudden the Fuji becomes a question mark. Canon's lesser R glass though like ultra wide f/4 and f/1.8 primes are presently lacking, minus the 85mm f/2. So it depends on your timeline too.

fuji makes no sense to me in this new age of FF

Are you for real lol...what about all the other apsc cameras?

knock yourself out buying APSc in the future, FF pricing is now in reach

As someone who is looking to buy a new camera, this is absolute nonsense. I can buy a great apsc camera for under 1000 euros, I can't buy a great FF camera for the same price. My 300 euro 56mm portrait lens compares really well with 2000 euro FF offerings.

FF is still bulky, if not the body then the lenses. It's difficult to take a FF camera on a special night out.

The price I spend on a FF camera are better used on other parts of my business. Like flashes, backgrounds, stands, props and Traveling.

Not quite...Fuji has various sizes of bodies & lenses to suit your needs. It can be smaller, even smaller in some cases then M...eg xe3 rangefinder style with evf plus 18/27mm pancake or 18-55mm 2.8-4

Those are good R lenses...if they could have been adapted to M6ii I may have never even tried fujifilm. I'm glad though as I have found so many other benefits to using Fuji. OP seems interested in those features too.

R system needs a better quality yet affordable camera to compete with Fuji which I doubt will happen soon...R5/6 are not cheap!

Again the Fuji system itself is NOT comparable to the RP. RP is a cheap way to get into full frame but you will need to upgrade it to get the best out the RP lenses...for some the RP may be all they need though.

Wow, it's been awhile since I've posted on DPreview - been so busy with my other passion - esoteric audio.

I've often chimed in on different forums here (my being a multi system slut) that the one system that has me firmly entrenched in its design philosophies, is Fuji. Yes, I shoot with EOS M gear and yes, I've also talked about how much fun it is to shoot with M gear.

But there is something about the Fuji line that has intrigued me for years. Some 7-8 years ago (after being firmly entrenched in regular Canon, Nikon, and Micro 4/3 cameras), I took a chance and purchased the (then) X-E1 with 18-55 F2.8-4 IS lens. I was totally prepared not to like it (don't know why - but I was). However, when it arrived, I became mesmerized with features such as build quality, ergonomics, the retro-look, and most of all...IQ qualities. I soon became hooked on Fuji thereafter.

For me (and that's all I can talk about really), the Fuji cameras do the following:

1. Give me a woody in general while using it (and that's saying something at my age)...

2. Have superb high ISO capabilities (read very clean here). In fact, whenever there are photo shoots whereby I must shoot low light scenes, I immediately reach for my Fuji cameras.

3. Color tonality - I enjoy the way colors are rendered, in particular skin tones.

4. Fuji's philosophy on keep up with timely firmware updates and in some cases, they will release FW updates for cameras that have been out of date for almost 5-6 years - now go figure.

5. The largest selection of APS-C lenses on the market - this is a biggie (for me, that is).

So IMO, you cannot go wrong with trying out and subsequently jumping into the Fuji system. You will find many other multi-brand users also using Fuji - that's the fun of it all.

Good luck in whatever you do.

Am I in the Fuji forum or the R forum now?

Apparently there are a lot of Fuji shooters who lurk here I was hoping to get more responses from people who use the m6 II but glad to get feedback from both systems.

Had some good discussion on topic and now it's debates between Canon/Fuji with R RP being thrown in. In addition, attitudes are turning sour.
