Canon are sticklers about not wanting excess inventory. Every quarter their financial documents include camera inventory numbers.

The holiday season is a good time for "out with the old".

Been mulling getting a 3rd M6ii body all week long... your post finally triggered the realization that this probably really is the last chance to get a somewhat 'new' M6ii with the chance to swap it out if something is wrong... silver M6ii refurbs are out of stock already. So I pulled the trigger.

Cool!

I have no doubt I could do events with 3 M6II's

and very few lens changes; 16, 32, 56, 100

I also realized that the M200 I have can't serve as a replacement should one of the m6ii's die.... doesn't have 4k video at 30 fps with dual pixel AF, and no mike input! One of my few Black Friday purchases was a second mike (Sennheiser MKE 200) and 2 Smallrig cold shoe plates for the M6ii's.

With 3 M6 Mark ii's, a white full-spectrum M200, a black M200, the entire collection of EF-M Canon lenses, 5 3rd-party EF-M mount lenses, and probably the world's only (DIY) EF-M 2x teleconverter tailored for a custom modded EF-M 55-200, maybe I'll be

the last man standing in this forum, to turn the lights off a few years from now LOL.

Too Funny!

Though I think Canon may realize down the road that small and powerful matters and to keep the line
