I’m currently on a trip to Switzerland. Brought my M6ii with EF-M 11-22 + EF-M 18-150, but also RP with RF16 and RF35.

Being outdoors and in near perpetual daylight, I couldn’t be happier with the M6ii. Great for hikes and traveling with young kids. Add to that it’s lightweight and wider focal range results in minimal use of the RP. In the right situations, e-shutter is extremely useful, discreet and do not annoy others especially in quiet surroundings.

M6ii is always Bluetooth-connected to my iPhone for GPS capture. In colder temperatures I got 250-300 shots and nearly 400 in lower altitudes. I’d start the day with fully charged batteries and had to only swap batteries once so far. The iPhone (13 mini) is my navigation tool + mobile hotspot on top of Canon Camera Connect and lasts the entire day as well.

I still enjoy using the RP for street and indoor shots but for this trip so far, it’s seeing <25% action. I’d be tempted to get a general telephoto for the RP but the M6ii would still win thanks to its weight, size and being less conspicuous. I can’t see myself paying for/ maximizing the potential of the Rx models so they’re out of the question for me.
