Check this thread: Is sharpness in photography becoming a problem?
M6 II is an excellent camera.
There are very few situations where I cannot take a good picture with my M50.
There are better cameras, larger, more expensive, heavier. But M cameras are good enough.
Indeed.
A well known Belgian photographer once said "the worse thing people can say about my photographs is that they are sharp".
But for birds IMO it is still a requirement in most cases.
True! Much in the world of photography is better if it is sharp.
But it shouldn’t be the only redeeming quality.
I think the following quote says it quite succinctly…
"Every time someone tells me how sharp my photos are, I assume that it isn't a very interesting photograph. If it were, they would have more to say." -anon
Or maybe it was best said by a well known American photographer…
“There is nothing worse than a sharp image of a fuzzy concept” -A. Adams
M cameras are (were) more than sufficient for almost all photographic tasks, but sadly enough Canon saw more benefit elsewhere.
Yes, monetarily!
They just used M as a mirrorless lab, without risking their core business. And when they finally found out how to do it right with the R5/R6 - or found the moment was there - they appeared as the winners.
IMHO they “did it right” with the M Series too. The R System however allowed them to expand their market greatly. It was a necessary progression.

Birds are so beautiful and such excellent creatures to make calming pictures with.
Hang them on the wall at the doctor's office.
I am always taking a picture of someone's art or work.
