The M system cameras still have a place in Canon's lineup. I don't know why they'd want to replace these monster compact systems with swappable lenses, for big mirrorless cameras with crop sensors.

It's like if they decided the SL3 should be killed off because the 90D exists. It just doesn't make sense to kill off their ultra compact mirroless system.

That being said, I'd stay away from the M6 Mark II simply because it only has fully mechanical shutter or fully electronic shutter. This means that it suffers from shutter shock because the first curtain shutter shakes the image stabilizer inside the zoom lenses during shutter speeds between 1/4 to 1/160 or so. It's a bummer it doesn't utilize the Electronic First Curtain Shutter that the M50 and all other M-cameras have. For what it's worth, I heard the 22mm and 32mm prime lenses aren't affected because they don't have image stabilization. So if you're only shooting with primes, you're probably safe.

My M50 doesn't have any issues shooting at slow shutter speeds with image stabilized lenses. I get sharp photos every time.
