Despite what the vocal minority might say on enthusiast forums etc, the M6II was likely a low volume seller for canon, so I expect a replacement to take some time (more than a year if I had to guess).

Canon is likely to focus on their bread and butter (entry level and pro/prosumer market (IE R50/R10 vs R6/5/3/1(?)) )first. Selling a large volume of the cheaper bodies (and bundles) especially overseas, and targeting the cutting edge tech for the high end.

While certainly welcome, the M6II was a fairly niche buy all things considered. Nothing wrong with that, but low overall demand from the market, whose purchasing habits are absolutely not reflected on an enthusiast platform.

The next niche I expect canon to fill will be their vlogging model, and after that maybe, who knows, the M6II replacement.
