I currently have a 6d ii and some decent EF glass. I am toying with the idea of selling my camera and some lenses (24-105 f/4, 16-35 f/4 and 100-400 i) and buying an M6 ii.

I had the 6D + 24-105 + 70-300 + 24 + 40 + 90macro... I sold everything to get the M5 + 18-150 + 22 at first.

While I really like my 6dii and I'm satisfied with my photos, the camera combined with the glass seems bigger and heavier every year. I find myself reaching for my m100 with the 22mm more and more. Photography is my hobby and I mostly take photos of landscapes, nature, macro, some astrophotography, wildlife, but not a lot of bif.

Photography is also my hobby, so I asked myself: “Do I need full frame ?” No, and I don’t want to spend more than 500€ for one glass.

I rented an m6ii when I was in Hawaii last year and liked it except for the removable EVF. The main advantages for me with the m6ii seemed to be smaller size when combined with ef-m glass, better autofocus, faster shutter speeds. I did try focus stacking and it seemed to have potential, but I didn't use it a lot, so I'm not sure how much I will end up liking it. Main advantages of the 6d ii for me seem to be a hot shoe, easy geotagging, and better quality lenses. I do have the adapter, but I don't see me using most of my FF glass on the m6 ii. I'm thinking that if I get a m6ii, I would just leave the EVF on all the time, buy some kind of cage with a cold shoe and a light cube for macro. So, what else should I be thinking about? Thanks!

My recommendation is to sell everything. Go EOS M.

For giving this advice you must have interesting informations for what new camera and lenses will we see next year.
