Re: Talk me out of a M6II

I moved from the M5 to the M6 ii and never resented the extra cost.  Okay, I do miss the integral viewfinder.

In the 3 years I've been running the M6 ii I can only think of a few negative things to say about it.

It isn't really all that small.  I wish it would fit in a jacket pocket, but it's just a little too big.  The smaller bodies give up to much performance, and I wish it were just a little more compact.  That's what the M does best.

The shutter shock thing is a real pain.  I try and run image stabilized zooms like the 11-22 on my M50 ii that don't have this problem.  That won't affect a 32mm prime, though.

Umm, give me a minute.  Hmmm.  I can't really think of anything else not to like about it.

Oh, wait, I got one.  When I take pictures around lichen-covered pink-granite cliffs, it tricks the face detection.  The camera sees faces in the cliffs instead of on the people, and it sometimes makes things out of focus.

I already bought a spare M6 ii to put away for a time of need.
