Greetings,

My gear was stolen so am in the process of replacing it. I had been shooting M4/3. But, am thinking about A Canon M6 I or ii. Is the ii that much better than the i? And would either of these be a good option for a hobbiest? I normally shoot regular camera club activities and street photography. I had considered the M50,but thought that the M6 was a better shooting experience? I had also considered A6xxx series. Any thoughts?

I’m terribly sorry to hear about your kit being stolen too. Rats!

If I had the chance to do it all over, I would buy exactly the same kit again: The M6ii

M6ii is simply amazing piece of hardware and one of the best things about it is that it still gives me a reason to pull out my old M3 from time to time.

The only downside to it is that I haven't gotten nearly enough use from my RF 35/1.8.

What a fantastic camera. Just a joy to use (love that tilting LCD), and so very capable. Operation is very fast, and the autofocus just nails it (I use Spot AF exclusively). The AF is in fact good enough to shoot any activity that I can think of, save for BIFs.

Output rivals my full-frame when shooting RAW and processing with DxO’s Photolab (Deep Prime noise reduction). It’s especially good with the EF-M primes that are available for it (Canon and Sigma).

There’s a good discussion of the M6ii’s capabilities in this previous thread, and you can follow the links I include for samples from sporting events…

Personally, the M System does exactly what I need it to do, and even though it’s been sunset in favor of Canon’s RF(-S), I’ll still be shooting mine until it dies. And then I’ll just buy another one.

Best of luck to you going forward!
