After thinking through the new information provided, I think it's a very high likelihood the "Full Frame M6 mk ii" camp is correct

M6 Mk2 was not gimped in FPS, it was a mirrorless 90d and had the state of the art features of it's time

"New form factor" and "vari-angle monitor" without mentioning an EVF are pointing towards a rangefinder style body without an EVF

While I think everyone is hoping for an FF M6 with both LP-E6NH batteries and an EVF, the weight provided makes it seem unlikely

But we'll know for certain next week, maybe Canon could pull what Sony did with the A7C and include both an EVF and large battery while keeping the weight down

A “rangefinder style body” would include an EVF, just not a bump.  Personally I can’t see a FF body without an EVF.  If no viewfinder, LCD only, that equals vlogging camera for which FF is totally unnecessary.
