Thanks for the nice review.  I'm an M6ii user who recently bought an M200 for a walkabout camera, and I too am very impressed with the M200. Image quality isn't very far behind the M6ii and I find that using the rear touch screen to set the settings on the M200 to be so easy that it's changing the way I use the M6ii!

I use the M200 especially to take 4k video through my telescope of the planets. Since the M200's video is cropped to the center of the frame at pixel resolution, I'm getting maximum magnification from the telescope. This works great, but the M200 overheats after only 10-15 min of 4k resolution video and needs quite a cool down period before it will shoot 4k video again.

Otherwise, having such a powerful camera in such a tiny package is wonderful ---- it's so small and light on the telescope, plus it fits in my pocket even with the EF-M 18-150mm lens on it, although the M200 with the 22mm f2 or EF-M 15-45mm is optimal for pocketability!
