I've had the m6ii for a few weeks now and I'm happy with it. I did some hiking and my backpack was never too heavy. I was using the Peak Design Capture Clip and it felt very secure.

I don't use one but be cautious - I think I have read of several people having issues with the bottom plastic plate of the camera cracking up around the tripod socket when using these on M bodies.

I did have some lens creep with the 18-150, but not too bad. I'm leaving the EVF on the camera and it's working out. The biggest problem I have is accidentally activating the EVF when I have the LCD screen tilted. Still figuring out some of the features like focus stacking. I took some sequences with landscapes that ended up with too few shots, but at least the foreground was sharp. And I have to break myself of the habit of focus/recompose that was necessary because of the limited AF points on the 6dii. I've got the Canon ef-m 32 on order, so looking forward to checking out the combo.

Thanks everyone for the advice, here's the required dog shot

Lovely shot.

Shot with the ef-m 22 and window light.
