I think the only reason they put a 32 MP sensor in an M body was they had made a bunch of sensors but were behind on developing the APS-C R bodies R7 and R10.

Canon did not bother to upgrade the processor to keep up with the extra data off the 32MP sensor so I always thought it was kind of clear Canon planned on it being a dead end. But a dang good one so I bought an M6II and I am glad I did.

But I think the plan was always that as soon the R7 got released, it was going to be goodbye to the M6II.

Makes sense. Now I am extremely tempted to get a refurb one before they are gone for good. GAS says yes, sense makes no 😂

Man, get that M6ii while you can. It is an extremely capable camera. I trust it to shoot anything on this planet (using Spot AF with Servo). Here’s a good thread that highlights its capabilities (follow the provided links too)…

Those dragonflyes shots look amazing!!

Thanks,  Dragons are amazing critters.  Very skittish most of the time, but occasionally you get lucky.  Here’s one friendly one from a long time ago…

And one super close…

Thanks for looking!
