It seems to me that Canon is putting in even a less half hearted approach to MILC than even Sony. I was not impressed with their offerings. To me, the M6 looked the most interesting. No viewfinder ruled it out completely.

For the Sony you only look at two cheap zooms. Canon offers similar lenses, with the standard zoom being a bit better than Sony's.

The M5 is quite well liked by users, by the way. To me it makes no sense to say the M6 looks more interesting than the M5, as they are internally basically the same camera, only the M5 offers that EVF?

Have you handled any mirrorless cameras? Do that first. Try to find settings in menus, try controls and feel. And try how those EVF's look to you, I can't stand the screen flicker (I think I am more sensitive to than than most others), lag. It is more important for you to find the camera that is least annoying, or nicest to use, than a small difference in size or specs.
