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.
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.
Wait !
I know these decisions are totally personal but I'd rather buy so many other things before a 3rd body.
For instance, the RP body cost about the same and you can pair it with the refurb RF-24-105 lens for $120 and the RF-50 refurb is $80 !. Remember, these are native mirrorless FF lenses and can use your EF lenses too.
Cancel that order LOL.
