Actually the M6ii has a pretty FAST readout speed. That's part of what makes it so darn good at shooting crazy fast action...

Also program your EVF to the "Smooth" setting so that it doubles the refresh rate (helps when tracking subjects).
1/25s readout time), can one shoot at 200mm handheld with e-shutter?
You are free to shoot at whatever shutter speeds you would like. See where your handheld limits are.
However I personally much prefer to shoot action with mShutter, generally at 7 FPS. I don't have the EF-M 55-200, but results with the EF 100-400 Mark II (+/- 1.4x TC iii) have been spectacular.
If the sensor readout time is 1/25s, will the sensor receives the same amount of hand shake/body shake as if the shutter speed is 1/25s even if the e-shutter speed is higher? If this is true
As has been explained, it's not true.
I think it would be unpractical to shoot at 200mm handheld. I am asking because I noticed that there is some serious shutter shock with the 55-200 in m-shutter mode.
Are you sure it's not camera shake? I'd suspect that first. I don't get anything but (extremely) marginal shutter shock with any of my lenses.
Using e-shutter with tripod gives better sharpness but I hate tripod (which defeats the purpose of the eos m system).
I hate tripods too!
Best thing to do if you're not sure about something is to test it, or just go out and shoot shoot shoot.
Happy snapping!
