$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.

That's weird. It hasn't been over $850 since aug 29, 2019, it seems. 🙄. (that 3 camels site)

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.

There are 2 EVFs to choose from. EVF-DC1 and EVF-DC2.

I might have grabbed the camera with kit lens price, sorry about that!

Ok. But that kit has an EVF included.

Still, lots of people want a built-in EVF, to keep the flash slot open.

Imagine the sales of the M6ii if it had a built-in EVF (to replace/upgrade the M5 *and* the M6, not to mention the 90D).

Yeah, I can imagine. They would have lost a lot of sales.

I have and enjoy my M50, but it appears clear to me that the R10 and R7 are just the beginning of Canon’s APS-C future.

I think they made a great mistake. Especially with the R10 (and the lenses).
