My first Canon was an AE-1, then AV-1, A-1, T-90. I took photography pretty seriously but after a few years could no longer afford to pursue it. Then, about 10 years ago got back in it. Went with a Rebel but it was too clunky for traveling, so jumped on an M-6 about three years ago. The M-6 did everything that I needed a camera to do. Why it was billed almost exclusively as a vlogging camera I have no idea. I think it was passed over by a lot of photographers because of that. I mostly do bird photography, so an APS-C is an advantage, since I use telephoto lenses unless I'm doing travel photography. I just purchased an M6 Mark II, so I will be posting some questions about that camera shortly. I live in Florida, USA but spend time in NE England each Summer.
