I had bought the original EOS M when it came out, then some years later got the EOS M100. Really liked the M100 + 22mm pancake lens as a pocket one handed camera. Then I traded it in for the M6 Mk I (not II). I like the handling of the M6 Mk I, but its not quite the same pocketable camera as the M100. Recently my daughter has wanted a camera, so I'm thinking of getting the M100 again, pair it with the 22mm pancake lens for her.

Would it be too much camera for a 6 yr old?

I don't know about child development and age, but does she use a smartphone or tablet? If so then I'd say the M100 is a great option. One of the few cameras that have a beginner interface and a focus on using it with the touch screen.
