Don't forget the 90D. M and EF done, buy used.

I have been considering adding one of the 32MP crop bodies to my FF system for telephoto photography.

I have huge hands so the downsizing has absolutely no benefit for me.  So, with either route I may go I will be keeping my EF lenses and using the adapter.  I don't care that the M or EF systems will be terminated.

There is of course the 90D as well which also uses the batteries from my 5DSR which would be easy.  However, I am leaning towards the M6 II, with EVF, since I can easily adapt Canon FD glass as well.

Now, since both systems are coming to a close, I also recommend buying used to avoid major depreciation.  Both the M6 II and 90D are only three years old so getting a barely used body is easy.  They are also starting to flood the market, with prices dropping, as people jump ship in a panic.

It may be cool to have a new R7 instead but it will be at least double the price of either of the used options.  The longer one waits to transition to RF the more developed the system will become.
