Certainly that's not comparing apples to apples (and a cheeky comment), but it does imply what could be possible in the future bodies. Interesting stuff
I thought this one was supposed to come with a new DIGIC 8+ processor.
As I posted a few minutes ago here (https://www.canonrumors.com/forum/i...d-and-eos-m6-mark-ii.37459/page-3#post-788146), I disagree.
TL/DR: In my mind, the M6 (with the optional viewfinder) is the flagship.
What I like about the M6 II (so far) as far as ergonomics are concerned:
(1) In my hands, the ISO was too easily accidentally changed in the M6 I. It looks like this has been changed.
(2) In my hands, in certain specific usage patterns (i.e. dangling around my neck with a non-stock [much-smaller] strap...while mated to te 18-150 lens), the camera was able to turn itself on. There are threads on this at a couple of places on the 'net. It looks like this has been changed, too.
(3) It looks like the focus position, when the viewfinder is attached, is more like the m5 in that you can move it around on the touchscreen with your fingers
I will buy at least one.

adding:
(4) examining the video a bit more, the ergonomics, for me, are also improved in that exposure compensation is more like the M2 (and the S90 and S95) than the M6. A big win, for me.
I do like the AF / MF switch. I'm an original M user since launch day of the original M, all the Ms after that. Huge M nerd. I hope this new M6II has increased sensor performance. All I really care about as I shoot singular stills. For action I have my XT3. Don't need the speed but it'll be nice to have.
With the M6 II you must choose between viewfinder and external flash/accessory. I believe the M5 II might have additional differences, possibly a bit larger body with a full tilty-flippy display? The downward rotating LCD in the M5 I was not exactly convenient. If I were Canon, form factor/ergonomics is definitely how I'd differentiate the bodies.
I expect something like: no dual pixel in 4K or only 5fps in AF priority mode or 150 shot battery life :)
