The Canon EOS M6 is the technical successor to the EOS M3. As such, it appears that Canon is realigning its rather confusing EOS M product naming scheme to mirror (if you will) its DSLR product line.
After replacing the EOS M3, the M6 fits in the mid-range enthusiast segment between the EOS M5 (pro-ish) and EOS M10 (consumer). Accordingly, the M series echoes the 5D, 7D and 80D models in the DSLR lineup. The lower the number in the model name, the higher-end the product.
The EOS M6 borrows a great deal from the EOS M5 but sacrifices the built-in EVF, while making an optional EVF-DC2 electronic viewfinder to pair with the M6. The new DC2 viewfinder provides 2.36-million dots of resolution, while being both smaller and lighter the DC1 viewfinder that was available for the EOS M3.
