You should buy an M6 Mk ii before Canon stops the M line
8

I have full frame and crop EF/EF-S bodies. Even my smallest (SL1) was not pocketable, and became a challenge when traveling with a toddler. I found myself just using my phone for shots. I looked at the compact cameras (including the Canon G series) but knew that ultimately I'd be unhappy with the image quality from the smaller sensor - especially in low light. I bought an M6 MKII.

The M body is pocketable with the 22mm lens and pretty small with the 18-150. It is phenomenal with the 32mm prime. I bought the kit with the view finder and find I rarely use it - but it is nice to have for very bright light or steadying a longer lens, like the 70-200L IS (adapted).

Buy one.
