Portrait & Street — EOS M6 Mark II (2019): The M6 Mark II is the peak of the EF-M system — 32.5MP, 14fps, and Dual Pixel CMOS AF II in a compact rangefinder-style body. No built-in EVF is the main compromise, but the optional EVF-DC2 resolves this. An outstanding used-market buy for photographers who want high resolution and fast AF in a genuinely compact body.
Collectors, Gift Buyers & Style-Conscious Creatives — Instax Mini Evo Cinema EX D (2024): Everything the Evo offers, in the most striking design in the Instax range. Worth it if the aesthetic matters to you.
