Yuge EOS-M fan here, Yuge! My M6ll is my most used camera, despite OM-1 for birds and bugs, R8 for full frame / night shooting. I keep thinking the R8 plus 35 1.8 or 50 1.8 could substitute for the m6 ll plus the 32/1.4, but it doesn’t, even though the R8 plus the 50 is lighter, and probably just as good at 2.5 or 2.2 vs the M6 ll at 1.4, and even though on the M6ll I am switching between electronic shutter and mechanical frequently, depending on the shutter shock likelihood, and even though I now only charge through USB so I don’t have to reset the date and time, because the inner battery died. I like using, and like the shots I take with the M6 more. Could be real if subjective, or imaginary and arbitrary based on how the camera looks and feels. I had an M2, the M6ll, and now I have a backup M200 for when the 6ll really dies. The M’s replaced the powershots, s90, s95 and s100. So the M6ll is a lot heavier and larger than those, and I’d want an RM to be not much above a 400g body and carry over all the M lenses. Until then I will use this camera until it breaks down, and then the M200 after, so maybe another 10 years. My use of lenses has changed a lot though. In the past I’d take just the 22mm for a weekend trip, or maybe the 22 and a long zoom. Now I will bring the 18-150, and /or just decide today is a 32 1.4 day or a 56 1.4 day, and I use the phone for 24 or 15 equivalents. I don’t use the 22 or 11-22 much at all any more. I still like what I take with the m6 more than most phone shots, but it’s as much because those shots are more intentional.
