Great post with excellent images and a thoughtful review. You know I'm in full agreement about your opinion on the M50ii. In my case it's a 2nd body most of the time but it's a also great choice for a first body for many.

It's worth mentioning that the Canon M50 Mark ii with the EF-M 18-150mm IS STM is a killer combination for light weight, compact size, great super-zoom range with excellent image quality - at a great price for the power and flexibility that it gives you.

I'd have no problem taking just the M50ii, the EF-M 18-150, and a couple spare batteries on a daily outing or a vacation if I had to travel as light as possible. Even with lens hood it all fits into a very small camera shoulder/belt bag like the $15 LowePro Adventura SH100 II.

Too many people count out the outstanding 'M' system --- but it's very much alive and an excellent performer at a competitive price, no less so than Canon's DSLR offerings.

I’ve had both, and I do feel the 18-150 is more appropriate on the M6II. Why? Higher price point pairing; larger footprint pairing. Not to mention the available bundle discount schemes support those choices, too.

Its not that you can’t or shouldn’t, just in terms of pragmatism, the 18-50 sits better on the M6II. Now you probably already own both, from said bundle… Technically you’re are outlier having both the M6II and M50II. There’s days I think about it.
