If you were in the USA, the M6 II kit with the EVF and 18-150mm lens would be an easy recommendation, but that kit does not appear to be an option in the UK. Beside the copy variation issues and general lackluster image quality, the other problems with the 15-45mm are that it offers a shorter zoom range than you are getting from your G7X II and the apertures are so slow that you also lose most of the low light advantages of the larger image sensor.

You could buy everything separately, but that gets expensive and might be easier said than done. Wex has the M6 II body for £799. The EF-M 18-150mm lens is going for £459, but appears to be out of stock everywhere in the UK. The M6 II and 18-150mm would be a good combination, but it is pushing the top end of your budget and you would not have the EVF.

If you are willing to consider "used" gear, I was able to put together a kit at MPB with the M6 II, 18-150mm, and EVF-DC2 for £1,207.00 with everything in "excellent" condition.

Thanks. I'm not seeing the 18-150mm lens kit anywhere in the UK. One option I'm looking at is body only for around £730 and the 18-150mm lens separately for £390 (both with offers I can see). That takes me to £1120. I could then look at getting the EVF separately as a stretch, maybe as used to save a bit.

How does that sound?

if from a reputable dealer and it has a free 30 day return policy and warranty, sounds pretty good

then get the evf and then save for the 32 f1.4 and 11-22 and dxo PL5 on sale

you'd be set for years to come

I've seen the R10 is also available with a 18-150mm lens for £1249, but not seen any full review of that camera to help me decide vs M6 II. R10 looks a bit bulkier too.
