Is this the ultimate The-One-You-Have-With-You?

No.3791282 View ViewReplyOriginalReport
I'm thinking about getting a Canon EOS M6, silver, to be my secondary/back-up camera for my Canon EOS R6 with RF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM lens.

Strengths:
>eminently small with the small standard zoom or a handful of other native lenses, fits into a jacket pocket
>dual pixel AF, so don't have to mess with contrast detect hunting
>three command dials and one dedicated exposure compensation dial
>pretty good ergos
>cheap enough to throw into a messenger bag and not have to worry about a few bumps
>works as a second body for wide angle, since there is no RF wide angle lens anywhere close to as small as the EF-M 11-22mm

Weaknesses:
>no viewfinder, which, for me, means that the camera will be a little unstable when handholding it, since I can't brace it on my forehead

What do you think, lads? These cameras were pushing $900 when they first came out, but you can get new ones for $400 on ebay, used for even less. I know people like to recommend the Sony 6000, but I feel like this is a far better camera than that for a lot of reasons, and perhaps the ultimate backup camera for a Canon shooter.
