Thanks for your insights and I agree with you on your points. Just one or two of those variables could have probably provided more interest for me (and I'm assuming others). For example: the inclusion of IBIS alone would have been fantastic.
A question for you: Having a bigger camera like the R7, do you find the M6II to be a good, small, portable compact ILC to pair with that camera?
I have an R5 and am looking for a small, compact ILC I can throw in my pocket, when I don't want to carry my bigger gear. I was hoping to stay within the same mount...but it doesn't look like that is going to happen.
Yes, I do find the M6II to be an ideal travel and carry-everywhere camera. For plane trips, I usually take the M6II with 22, 32, 56, 11-22, and 18-150, in a small bag, with a spare battery and the detachable EVF (which I only use with the 18-150). I also usually have it with me at work in an even smaller bag, with just the 22 and 56. I love the R7 for sports, wildlife, and lots of indoor events (I also use my R for some events). But with both the R7 and the R, I have to make a special effort to have the camera(s) with me, so only do that when I know I'll be photographing something, and then have the appropriate lenses. With the M6II, I often have it with me just on the off-chance that there will be something worth photographing. If it doesn't come out of the bag on any given day, it's not a big deal, because it adds so little weight or bulk.
