Yes, Canon is abandoning its EF-M line, which is really sad, because there was so much potential and appeal. The M6ii is the best of the EF-M line, so if you can get your hands on one and the Canon EF-M 22mm f/2 and 32mm f/1.4, you have yourself a superb compact/travel kit. Those two lenses will get you the most out of this 32MP camera and provide the two most versatile focal lengths (FF equivalent of a 35mm and 50mm or nifty fifty). I also recommend getting 43mm to 58MM step up rings and the Freewell 58MM variable ND filters. There is also a Sigma 16mm f/1.4 and Sigma 56mm f/1.4 (roughly 25mm and 90mm FF equivalents) and they are superb as well. I actually just bought a second M6ii in case my original one breaks or has any issues. That’s how much I enjoy it.
What I like:
The form factor cannot be beat. It’s so compact and doesn’t draw attention. I bring this thing almost everywhere. Heck, even at Red Rocks where they don’t allow anything bigger than a “fixed lens point and shoot” didn’t balk at this little guy. I’ve tried other FF cameras, but I always come back to this because of its smaller size.
With the right lenses, it creates some amazing photos. The video capabilities aren’t too shabby for its size either. I’ve shot family photos and portraits using the 32mm 1.4 for some friends and they felt like they had wasted money in previous years on professional photographers.
The DPAF works very well (it’s not quite as good as newer Canons and Sonys, but it’s very accurate and better than most other cameras out there)
It’s fast, and IMO there are just enough controls and customizable dials/buttons. Once you get everything set up and customized the way you want it, it’s easy to make all sorts of quick adjustments.
I actually like the detachable EVF, because it makes it easier to fit in smaller cases.
The digital stabilization works pretty well for video, which helps compensate for its lack of IBIS.
The touchscreen menu is great and I actually prefer the flip up screen to the flip out. Just slap a screen protector on it.
Battery life is pretty good for such small batteries.
The built in flash comes in handy at times.
What I don’t like:
No weathersealing (no EF-M cameras have this), although I’ve never had any dust or moisture issues and I live in FL.
No IBIS. The digital IS works well for video, but the last of IBIS makes it difficult to get sharp images if you slow the shutter down too much. Not often an issue, but something to be aware of.
While it’s not perfect, I gave this 5 stars because it’s impossible to get all the bells and whistles in such a small package. But I think Canon nearly nailed it with this one and and at this price point. Again, paired with the right lenses (there are 4 primes that I mentioned that are fantastic) this thing is a beast. If you’re looking for an APS-C camera that’s compact and travel friendly, this should be in the mix.

Fantastic Camera
I am a professional photographer and my normal set up is a canon 5D mark iv. This set up with my lens, body and flash is over 5 pounds. I bought this camera to travel with. It weighs next to nothing, but don’t let the small size fool you. This camera is fantastic. The image quality is phenomenal. I call it my “baby camera”, but there’s nothing immature about it. I bought both lenses, extra batteries and this camera has never let me down. It has been all over the States and Europe and has produced incredible images all along the way. Great great compact professional quality camera.

The image and video quality are all great and a discernible upgrade from my previous cameras (Nikon 1 J1 and iPhone XR.)
As an actor I highly recommend this camera. The reversible touchscreen is great for self-taping auditions and vlogging, and comes in handy for selfies and headshots. The controls are pretty intuitive and I had no problem figuring out the self timer feature. I’ve barely scratched the surface on what this camera can do but for everything I needed, it has far surpassed expectations.
I was pleasantly surprised by how easy it is to transfer photos from the camera using the canon app. It’s a nice piece of software.
One shortcoming is the EOS Webcam utility. You can use your canon as a webcam to step up your zoom/video call quality. But unfortunately it isn’t super compatible with the new MacBook Pro models with the M1 processor. I had no problems with an older MacBook, but haven’t been able to make it work with my new computer. I imagine down the line there will be a software fix.
