The M6ii exceeds the performance of every 1D-series camera I've ever worked with, except perhaps in its ability to hammer down the occasional nail. And while my intention has always been to travel with just the M6ii and compact 22/2, I've been having a lot of fun re-discovering my old gear in casual, point-and-shoot moments of daily life.

I am really curious --- can you be more specific, what do you think makes the M6 Mark II stand out so much? Image quality, and/or what other things?

As a relatively new M6 Mark II owner I'm happy to hear your comments, from someone with a lot of experience. I'm only an "enthusiast' but have been shooting with Canon gear since the 80s with the F-1, EF, T-70 and a full set of FD lenses. I went digital in 2007 with a rebel T1i, and this year upgraded successively through a 70D, M6 mirrorless, and then finally 'arrived' with the M6 Mark II which I am extremely pleased with in almost every way.

interestingly the step up from the M6 to the M6 Mark II was quite noticeable, the low-light images, camera's extra resolution, ability to focus in low light, faster shooting modes, and electronic shutter and intervalometer make it great for astrophotography and low light photography, which I do a lot.

Thanks for your post, I'm really enjoying your images.
