Thanks for all that valuable info. I am impressed by your impressions. I am studying it carefully and it will help me decide. One more thing: will there ever be a m6 iii ? #ChrystalBall #NoOneKnows

Do you have a Crystal Ball is right

Apologies -- I rechecked and both of the moon images used the 2x teleconverter, the caption is incorrect for the first Moon image which did not mention the TC.

Also forgot to mention that with the M6ii I get clean high ISO images to about ISO 6400 or so with DxO Deep Prime, and have to 'work harder' to clean up images around ISO 8000 - 10,000. With the M50ii I was starting to see mottling at ISO 3200 or so. Deeper comparison testing using nearly identical conditions would be required to confirm this impression, though.

If thinking about both cameras to decide --- images are great with both. The deciding factor might be budget --- if on a tight budget the M50ii is certainly a good performer, but if you need higher frame rate, bigger buffer, or the many additional features of the M6ii (custom exposure modes, uncropped 4k video, higher res for more PP flexibility, interval timer, etc, better controls) the M6ii for me is still the clear choice.

As a second body for me the M50ii works well.
