Thanks. May look at that M200.
I would not buy the M200 if I were you. It has great image quality combined with the right lens. But I found it to be difficult to hold with for example the EF-M 32mm even with the EH31-FJ face jacket (if you can still get one).
It also has some childish quirks. Like the strange in camera raw processing and the fact that you can't rotate the images 180 degrees in camera.
I am fairly sure that none of the EOS cams support 180 degrees rotation in one step, but both M6 and R support 90 degree rotation.
Ok I should have explained this point a little better.
The screen of the M200 can tilt up but it can't tilt down. So if you want to make an overhead shot you and you still want to see wat you are shooting you have a "problem". To overcome this "problem" you can shoot the camera upsite down. Then your flip up screen becomes a "flip down screen".
However if you have taken the shot the camera doesn't automatically rotate the image to the right orientation. So you have to do this manually. But in the camera there are only options to rotate the image 90 degrees. On any other camera this wouldn't be a problem because you can rotate the images twice but the M200 simply doesn't except a second rotation.
The only other camera with a flip up only screen I have is a Sony HX90 if I use that camera upside down the picture is automatically rotated. My Canon G9X II doesn't do that but it has an option to rotate images 180 degrees in one step.
So It is childish of Canon not to allow 180 degrees rotation of images in the M200.
