Hi Terry

I purchased the M6 as a lightweight camera to throw in my camera bag when I am out and about with a big DSLR and DSLR lenses. In this role, I find it a very useful addition to my DSLR photo kit.

I use it with the 15-45mm kit lens (24-70mm FF equivalent) and I received a free detachable electronic VF as part of a Canon promotion.

One thing to be aware of with the M5 is that the flip-out rear LCD flips downwards, so will foul a tripod if that is important to you.

I throw the M6 in a messenger bag when I go into town as a general use camera and it performs admirably. I like the lower profile of the M6, i.e. without the built-in VF of the M5 and so far, haven't really needed my detachable VF, but that is just a personal preference.

Try to get some hands-on in a shop to see the quality of the VF to make sure it meets your needs.

Cheers

Dennis
