Here I am thinking how R10 is too large and M6II is just right, but:
Brought M6II + EF-M 55-200 to a live ZZTop concert ... it didn't make it past security! The rules did say "no cameras with removable lens," and the lady at the gate was perceptive enough to not let me in with it.
I have usually had no problems with that combo, so this was a surprise.
Luckily I had my backup camera, Panasonic ZS80, and that made the cut. Not the image quality or resolution of the M6II, but it does have a 24-720mm equivalent lens, and did fine.

A few more photos off on the appropriate forum: https://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/66216909
(And just for completeness, I was able to bring the M3/M6/M6II + 55-200 into a number of other concerts ... )
According to the rules, what matters is not the size but the removable lens.
Indeed… in other cases though the small size has allowed it to go in without a fuss, which is what I was hoping for!
So, the Pentax Q series would have been not able to pass the security. Anyway, nice shots!
Thanks!

Fujifilm's X-H2 is a high-resolution stills and video camera, that sits alongside the high-speed X-H2S at the pinnacle of the company's range of X-mount APS-C mirrorless cameras. We dug into what it does and what it means.
Holy Stone produces dozens of low-cost drone models aimed at consumers. We look at the HS710 and HS175D to see if they stack up to other sub-250g offerings. Are these secretly great or more like toys?
