Portability is of course still slightly to the M series camp. But the RP with 50mm 1.8 isn't that bad in terms of portability as well,
“Not that bad” (RP), and “Excellent” (M6ii) are on 2 different levels.

You missed the part about "with 50mm 1.8"
And some will read this and say -- wow, same
but not same
one misses the points:
1) The RF 50 f1.8 needs stopped down to F2.8 to get sharp enough for me; whereas the 32 is sharp wide open (FF equivalent of F2.2)
Canon EF-M 32mm f/1.4 STM Lens Image Quality (the-digital-picture.com)
2) The RF 50 F1.8 wide open or near wide open is useless in direct sunlight without an ND filter and only ss 1/4000. The M6II has e-shutter up to 1/16,000
3) The M6II has the better dynamic range at base ISO's

4) The RP is 4 fps and the m6II is 14 or 7 fps.
Once you add the lenses, there is not much difference in size and only 2 grams difference in total weight
RP+RF 50mm f/1.8 vs. M6 II+EF-M 32mm f/1.4

The M6II spanks it's butt at ISO 100 and I shoot at ISO 100 most of the time with all my cameras.
I will bring a tripod and or lights sometimes to to get the low ISO shot.
I would have to do this if I had a R5 because I would always want to bring the best shot back to my computer that I could get with whatever body I am using.
ISO 100 or near has become too much of a habit and goal for me.
That is why I showed such crappy high ISO shots. I don't hardly have any for real high ISO shots so I quickly took some around the house for test shots.
PL4 does a great job on low ISO shots too.
I try hard not to do high ISO for real.
