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?

It would be a good option if you don't mind spending that much money, given that at that age kids generally tend to switch interests quickly and may not actually stick with it. On the other hand, in that case you get to use it. (Or is that your real motivation anyway? :-D).
