I don't know ! Should I get a refurbished M6II for $549 or wait for the price to go lower on black Friday ?

Best M camera deal ever !

I am not sure I would hold out for an even better price as supplies of the M6 II are starting to dry up in the US. B&H, for example, only has black kits with the 15-45mm available. All other options are sold out and listed as discontinued. Adorama has a few more options in stock, but they are listed as "closeout".

That was my thought too. I just convinced my wife, and placed my order! 😁

I just can't talk myself into another system when the lenses I have are excellent and the M6ii finds a sweet spot between size, AF, performance, and price.  (For a stills enthusiast like me)

  • Canon R - great AF, ergonomics, and incredible lenses... If you have deep pockets and don't mind big heavy gear.  If both of those don't apply, then it's a compromise not an upgrade.
  • Fuji - tempting but with slower, less reliable AF and higher prices for equivalent lenses
  • Sony - great AF, tons of lens selection, but with camera bodies like bricks you just don't like to use

I realize this calculation is different for each person, so I certainly don't think my take on this "the right answer for every human."  YMMV.  Enjoy whatever gear you have and that makes the most sense to you!

I guess I'll be riding my M gear into the sunset after all.  When it no longer works (2035?) maybe smartphones really will have taken over the world...  🤔
