$1100 for M6II vs $1500 for R7…

The M6ii has been $850 at most big outlets for a very long time.

certainly not twice as much, and much more longevity.

Completely different classes of cameras. With different appeal.

The only model that makes sense in the M lineup is the M50 for about $600 (because of price/ performance).

M50 has always been too stripped down for me. I prefer the up-specced M6ii by a large margin. Best to get one now.

R2

I was using Amazon prices on the day of that post.

As far as class, yes the R7 is much more capable, but they have a lot in common (sensor, approximate size, controls, etc.)

if the M6ii had an EVF I likely would have bought one. Great camera otherwise.

My M6ii has an EVF that I can stick on my M6i or even M3.

or even put it into my pocket

Yes and it’s fine for some people for sure. I need one built in, and don’t want to deal with the add-on (which also consumes the flash slot) 😁
