Trade my Canon 6dii for Canon M6ii?

If you haven't already, you may want to take a look at the EOS RP. It is basically your 6D II repackaged into a much smaller and lighter full frame mirrorless body. It is approximately 40% lighter than you 6D II and the RF 24-105mm f/4-7.1 is about 50% lighter than your EF 24-105mm f/4 II. The RP would give you a significant size and weight reduction while still giving you full use of your "better quality lenses".

The RP is currently on sale for $899 body only and $999 kitted with the RF 24-105mm f/4-7.1. Once you add the EVF and cage to the M6 II, the RP ends up being cheaper, lighter, and smaller.

Well, I had looked at an RP and kind of dismissed it out of hand. The only time I handled one was in a camera store with the RF 24-105 f/4 which was smaller than my ef version, but still pretty big and expensive. So, thinking about it some more, the RP does have the built in evf and hot shoe. I would have to buy an $99 adapter to use my EF lenses, but that's doable. Looking at the RP manual, the RF 24-105 f/4-7.1 wasn't listed as a lens that can focus bracket, but the ef 16-35 that I have can.

It is possible the RF 24-105mm f/4-7.1 is not listed in the manual because it was released a year after the RP. Is the RF 24-240mm listed?

No, it’s not listed. Should it be? Do you think the manuals outdated?

I've used Focus Bracketing with about every lens I have, and they have all worked very well. Even the ones that are not on the list.

If I were to hazard a guess though, the reason some lenses may not be listed might be because of excessive focus breathing perhaps?  Which would cause ghosting.
