OK, I've been shooting just a ton with mirrorless (both EOS M and R) as it's evolved over the years, and I truly love both systems! One thing that's become patently clear to me is that each camera (and line) has its particular strengths, and having one doesn't automatically obsolete the other!

^this - one system doesn't meet all needs

For those here who are disappointed with the M System I have a little hard-earned advice:

Maximize the capabilities of your current kit with what's already available to you, Before you go jumping ship and spending more money.

^this - those complaining, haven't maximized

IMHO that starts with shooting RAW and upgrading your noise reduction to DxO Photolab if you already haven't. You'll easily gain 2 stops from this move alone.

^exactamundo -- maximize!

Move up to the most capable M body in the system. The M6ii can give you even higher ISO abilities, better IQ, better autofocus, and more capability.

^exactamundo - the body of choice!

Get the lenses that will maximize your keeper rates and IQ. Lots of examples have been posted here over the years. EF-M is strong here, especially if you shoot primes.

32 f1.4 for sure

56 and 16 will also maximize

These steps will truly increase the longevity of the M System, and I expect to continue to shoot mine for years to come, even though I also have the R System.

Chris at DP Review gives it the number 1 camera for buying used!

Happy shooting!
