$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,

on paper, but without the glass, a body alone can't take one photo

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.

Granted, but it sure seems like Canon is showing us their future…

agree

I've probably owned more APSC cameras from Canon than anybody

D30, 10D, 30D, 40D, 60D, 7D2, XT, SL1, T4i, T7i, M6II

here is a link on how I feel about R7 - if they make RF-s glass on par with EF-s glass - I'm out. If they give us M quality glass - I'll buy R7 because it would be the m5III I always wanted with m quality glass
