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.
Creative Film Shooters Who Want More From Their Half-Frame — Ektar H35N (2023): Everything the H35 was, plus a multiple-exposure mode that opens up a world of creative in-camera double exposures. The natural upgrade for H35 fans.
