Taking my chance to shoot out this question. Rejoining the forum after almost a decade of being away from photography websites.

Now on the hunt for cropped body, coming from an 80D. I know the R7 has all the bells and whistles of the new Canon tech and hardware. Does not mean it's worth that much money compared to the really cute and capable M6 Mark 2 which I tried in the store over the weekend and found impressive for its size. Mostly I do take photos on foot, while doing a bit of hiking and occasionally from hillside locations, with a small tripod in a small backpack.

Or maybe I should invest in new tech like the R7 so I don't have to change it for the next 3-5 years?

If you are okay with the lens selection for the M system as well as not having a built-in EVF, I would personally go for the M6 II. It is smaller, lighter, and significantly cheaper, as is the system as a whole. Just be aware that with the announcement of crop RF-mount bodies, there may never be another EF-M lens or body released.
