I'm looking to upgrade from a Canon G7X II which was my first camera that got me into photography.

I want something to step up to and the M6 II seems to tick a lot of the boxes - I know it is three years old but still looks a good camera and something newer like the R7 is a little too big of a leap for me price wise.

My main question is whether people think the M6II kit with the 15-45 lens and EVF for around £1050 is a good deal and an acceptable lens for that package? Or whether the 15-45mm lens should be skipped, and I should go for body only and buy a lens separately? That would mean not having the EVF too though. My main uses are family and travel photography.

What do people think?

Are you set on the M6II? The M50II is significantly cheaper and has a built-in EVF. For the price difference (especially if you would also want the add-on EVF for the M6II) you could pick up a prime lens or two or the 18-150. That would be better for your photography than limiting yourself to the 15-45 with the M6II.

Also, this has been alluded to already, but RF mount or other brands have a better future outlook than EOS M. Though I personally wouldn't buy an R7 or R10 until they release more crop lenses. EOS M is a fine choice as long as you are satisfied with the currently available lenses.
