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. 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. 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!

Wait for the R7.
