canon m6 mark ii

On paper, the Canon EOS M6 Mark II is a no-brainer. A clean, compact APS-C camera with svelte lenses, a 32MP image sensor, 4K video and 14fps continuous shooting (with up to 30fps in RAW burst mode). On top of that, the Canon EOS M6 Mark II is the flagship model of the manufacturer's EOS M system… but herein lies the issue. The EOS M6 Mark II camera features an expansive focus area of approx. 88% horizontal and 100% vertical^ when working with select EF and EF-S lenses. With older EF lenses, the EOS M6 Mark II camera focuses approx. 80% horizontally and 80% vertically. This means fast and impressive focusing even if your subject is way off center. Canon’s latest mirrorless camera, the compact EOS M6 Mark II, is built around a 32MP APS-C size sensor—the highest resolution camera in its class. At the same time, the M6 II shares a The Canon EOS M6 Mark II is a digital mirrorless interchangeable-lens camera announced by Canon on August 28, 2019, and released in September 2019.

Introduction Announced at the same time as the EOS 90D DSLR, the Canon EOS M6 Mark II is a new mid-range mirrorless camera aimed at enthusiast photographers. It has a megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor, the highest resolution ever found in a Canon cropped sensor mirrorless camera, which is joined by Canon’s latest Digic 8 processor. On the video side, there’s 4K recording at up to 30p and Full HD footage at frame rates up to 120p. 4K is uncropped, which potentially makes the M6 II just as appealing to videographers as to stills photographers. This is a fast camera - 14fps burst shooting is available when using the Canon M6 Mark II and there's also a special 30fps RAW burst mode with autofocus tracking. Weighing in at just 408g including the battery and memory card, the Canon EOS M6 Mark II is small and light enough to fit in a jacket pocket. The Canon M6 Mark II is priced at £ / €1, / $ body only or £1, / €1, / $1099 with the EF-M 15-45mm IS STM lens and EVF-DC2 viewfinder, and $ for EF-M 18-150mm IS STM and EVF-DC2 kit. Ease of Use Front of the Canon EOS M6 Mark II Canon has borrowed a quote from filmmaker John Hughes’ arguably best movie Ferris Bueller’s Day Off with regard to promotion of its latest EOS M6 Mark II mirrorless. Namely Because life moves pretty fast…’. However, it’s fair to say that the manufacturer’s EOS mirrorless series has in fact rather slowly – some would say tardily – evolved over the past few years as an increasingly credible DSLR alternative. Although its most recent possibly most significant development in the EOS R full frame series aimed at high end amateurs and professionals has stolen headlines and column inches of late, the manufacturer continues however to release more obviously consumer-targeted alternatives, such as the APS-C sensor incorporating Canon M6 Mark II. Rear of the Canon EOS M6 Mark II It’s the latter, in replacing the original M6 that has just landed on the Photography Blog test slab, following on from our first look’ a couple of months back. With this latest Canon costing a body-only £850 in the UK manufacturer’s suggested price, competing models in the EOS M6 Mark II’s orbit include the likes of the recent Sony A6400, plus the newer sub-£1000 Nikon Z 50 and Fujifilm X-A7. Like the above, this one is for capturing spontaneous moments – more so than a bulkier DSLR. We found it a particularly adept tool for street photography – it’s not large enough to be immediately noticed by unsuspecting subjects – at least not until you raise the camera to your face; the alternative is using the unit’s handily flip-up LCD screen. Top of the Canon EOS M6 Mark II While its manufacturer may believe the Canon M6 Mark II is aimed at the technically savvy enthusiast, we found its handling and operation to be straightforward enough and were able to pick it up and start using it without a second thought – which is a sign of good, or at least considered, design. Though overall the camera may be diminutive, we also found its grip is comfortably rounded – sufficiently so to make for a good and firm hold. Its maker admits though that nothing much has altered as regards this model’s design, when compared with the original M6. The latest version weighs 408g without lens, which makes it portable enough to place into a jacket pocket or bag so as to be ready for those shoot-from-the-hip moments. Tilting LCD Screen We had the Canon M6 Mark II supplied with a retractable 15-45mm f/ IS STM kit zoom. Though the fact that the lens is retractable helps keep camera and lens proportions minimal, and aids transportation making the set up small enough in combination to stuff into a jacket pocket, it’s a bit of a pain to have to remember to extend the lens every time you switch the camera on, prior to being able to loose off a shot. That caught us out a few times to start with and we missed the shot in question. Fortunately, of course, there is a growing number of alternative lenses available for the EOS M system plus over 70 compatible EF and EF-S lenses if you choose to invest in a separate mount adapter for the Canon EOS M6 Mark II. So hopefully the M’ system is one that will stand the test of time. In terms of other accessories, there’s a vacant hotshoe for adding an accessory flash if so desired. Otherwise, the integral flash pops up with a definate action thanks to a tightly wound spring – even if the crane-like construction of the flash arm’ feels a little flimsy and exposed when fully revealed, as if a stiff breeze would knock it from its precarious perch. The Optional Viewfinder While design of the Canon EOS M6 Mark II may not have changed greatly from previous generations, what’s new here is a megapixel APS-C and Digic 8 processor, while its ISO range now matches the 90D DSLR bigger brother announced alongside it. So here we get a camera offering a core ISO range from ISO100 to 25600, expandable to ISO51200. Auto focus response is such that the Mark II is able to boast an impressively swift 14fps capture speed, plus 1/16000 sec electronic shutter. What we found more useful on a daily basis is that there’s a tilting touch screen once again, with enough of an intrinsic pivot for the screen to be faced towards the subject, or angled so the user can gaze down on it and shoot in a style that apes using a medium format camera. Flip-up LCD Screen The alternative is to plump for the addition of Canon’s EVF-DC2 electronic viewfinder kit, also helpfully supplied along with our review sample. There’s no optical viewfinder otherwise built in here, so you’ll need to budget for the EVF on top of the £850 body-only price, and whatever lens option you choose, or look for a bundle deal for best value. Usefully the EVF features a built-in eye sensor that immediately activates it as it detects your eye. It also has a button on the side for locking and unlocking, while the view through it is as sharp and clear as we’d expect. Adding it does however increase the camera’s overall dimensions and bulk, as it sits relatively proud of the camera body – which is perhaps why Canon has made it optional. As with most modern digital cameras, when it comes to shooting video the choice here is between 4K and Full HD 1920x1280 pixels video, the former enabling captures of up to 25fps, while the latter offers up to a cinematic 60fps. The Canon EOS M6 Mark II In-hand For image sharing and transferal, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth transfer are offered – so as we can see this is a camera ticking most of our proverbial boxes. While the rear screen of the Canon M6 Mark II is helpfully a touch screen, with icons sufficiently large so as to enable their selection with a fingertip, we also get plenty of physical controls, both atop the camera – including shooting mode wheel and not one but two control dials encircling the shutter release button and on/off switch – on its back plate. This makes for an intuitive best of both worlds solution in our eyes, which we much prefer. Thus it’s possible to use the manual controls and almost forget there is a touch screen option, or go for said touch screen as a short cut to functions that would otherwise involve drilling inconveniently into menu screens such as selecting ISO, for example, which could really do with a dedicated marked button. Memory Card Slot That being said, we have to acknowledge that Canon’s menu screens for us are pretty much the most logically and clearly laid out and delineated, making navigation both quick and easy. With the LCD screen dominating just over two thirds the back plate, thumb operated buttons are ranged to the right of this. These include a familiar four way directional pad encircled by a scroll wheel, at the centre is a quick menu/ set button, and, around this a means of selecting and adjusting exposure compensation, flash options, a drive mode for selecting burst or single shot captures, plus the always handy trash can icon denoting the ability to delete images. Ranged above this are self explanatory info and red video record buttons, while below are equally obvious playback and menu buttons. Rather than the function being provided on the barrel of the lens itself, the topper-most control on the camera back is for switching between auto and manual focus. Battery Compartment Flick this switch and adjust manual focus via the ring provided on the front of the lens, which is all pretty straightforward and intuitive, the rear LCD being large enough for the user to be able to witness said manual adjustments in real time. While one flank of the Canon EOS M6 Mark II features a rubber flap protecting standard mini ports for both HDMI and USB leads, the other helpfully provides inputs for a microphone and a remote, with a flick-switch for activating the pop up flash ergonomically provided just above, where it falls readily under the thumb of the left hand when holding the camera. As expected the Canon M6 Mark II’s base features a centrally located screw thread for a tripod, plus a covered port housing rechargeable battery and SD card slot. Pop-up Flash We recharged the battery once and got several days of use out of the camera, though the official stats suggest a relatively paltry 305 shots or 80 minutes of video from a full charge, which can be bumped up to approximately 410 shots if selecting eco’ mode. Overall the Canon M6 Mark II is a well-constructed, well thought out camera that handles just as well as expected and which we enjoyed using over the almost two weeks we spent in its company. The only issue for Canon is that there are a lot of cameras in the M6 MKII’s price bracket that you could say the same of right now, for those not already allied to, or convinced by, Canon’s own consumer-level mirrorless system. Perhaps the images it delivers will drive a convincing wedge between this and its rivals and aid our buying decision? Read on to find out... Image Quality All of the sample images in this review were taken using the 32 megapixel Fine JPEG setting, which gives an average image size of around 9Mb. While we were certainly pleased with the images we derived from the Canon EOS M6 Mark II, we weren’t totally blown away by them. Sure there’s a pleasing amount of detail, but images aren’t always as pin sharp as we’d have liked, considering the price tag of this camera which takes it beyond that of the average high-end smartphone handset. Perhaps a prime lens rather than the compact and retractable optic supplied with the camera in its kit form would have, ultimately, served us better. In terms of low light performance, the camera makes a reasonable fist of it. Images are usable up until ISO 25600 at which point noise is visibly intruding without needing to enlarge sections of an image to check. Grittiness and a loss of detail in the images is much more pronounced still at user extendable maximum ISO 51200 setting – so much so that it’s debatable whether the top whack setting is actually worth using or is, we suspect, just there to look good on the spec sheet. This is a camera you’ll need to play around with a bit to get the best results we feel. For example adjusting the ISO and exposure compensation delivered better results when shooting handheld at night than simply falling back on the multi shot burst of the fully auto night scene mode. While its auto focus performance is generally good enough that we didn’t feel the need to switch over to manual focus, these are things you pick up on with a little more time and familiarity. Noise ISO sensitivity can be set between ISO 100 and ISO 25600 in full-stop increments. Here are some 100% crops which show the noise levels for each ISO setting, with JPEG on the left and the RAW equivalent on the right.

Product Images Conclusion If you’re looking to get into interchangeable lens photography to exert a little more control over image functions and settings than your smartphone will allow, then the Canon EOS M6 Mark II is a good and straightforward enough place to start. It allows you to begin your photographic journey’ by pointing and shooting, before then gradually work your way around more precise manual controls as your understanding of the camera and personal skillset improves. This camera is particularly good for street and travel photography, where its swift auto focusing, subject tracking, compact size and unobtrusive looks work in the photographer’s favour. Though we think the price of the Canon M6 Mark II is fair in the current market, we do wonder whether it could prove a stumbling block for those adopting an EOS M camera for the first time. Will those seeking to get into interchangeable lens photography have the £850 to start with? That’s before they even think about adding lenses, the optional electronic viewfinder, accessory flash and possibly microphone to exert more control and creativity and get even more out of this camera than they can straight out of the box. Having been using full frame cameras with larger lenses of late we found the image quality delivered didn’t impress us as much in comparison but that’s only to be expected. Overall then, we found surprising little to criticize in relation to the Canon EOS M6 Mark II.

Canon Press Release Canon strengthens the EOS line up with a new mirrorless and DSLR, delivering high-speed shooting and incredible resolution United Kingdom, Republic of Ireland, 28 August 2019 - Canon Europe today announces the launch of two high-speed, high resolution cameras - one DSLR and one mirrorless - designed to take enthusiast photographers to the next skill level. Canon has a camera to suit any user - EOS 90D is a fast and reliable DSLR, with a familiar, robust body perfect for sport and wildlife photographers. For everyday life, EOS M6 Mark II is a compact, yet powerful mirrorless delivering beautifully sharp images - for photographers on the move. Alongside the two new Canon RF lenses announced today, these high-quality, fast models build on Canon’s popular EOS 80D DSLR and EOS M6 mirrorless cameras to provide a full choice for enthusiasts across the entire line-up. Never miss a moment With Canon’s new EOS 90D and EOS M6 Mark II cameras, photographers can capture and share life’s most fleeting moments. Both models are equipped with Canon’s latest generation DIGIC 8 processor which achieves fast processing speed, responsiveness and the latest in photo and movie functionality. The lightning-quick electronic shutter speed of 1/16000 second is perfect for shooting momentary subject movements, giving photographers confidence in time-sensitive shooting scenarios. With this shutter speed the aperture can be opened even wider to create a greater depth of field even in ambient lighting. Ideal for wildlife or sports photography, the EOS 90D shoots 10fps with autofocus tracking and 11fps in Live View. The optical viewfinder reduces lag time and enables the responsiveness needed to shoot wildlife, such as birds in flight, while an intelligent function gives complete visibility of the composition and shooting settings within the display. Where subjects are both quick and unpredictable, this fast frame rate and 58 L JPEG burst rate enables photographers to shoot continuously for a greater choice in imagery. EOS 90D also has an extended battery life with up to 1300 shots CIPA standard which allows enthusiasts to shoot all day, unencumbered by battery limitations. The mirrorless model, EOS M6 Mark II, is capable of a 14fps continuous frame rate and staggering 30fps RAW burst both modes with autofocus tracking, producing a quick and compact model which guarantees enthusiasts can photograph even the unexpected. To give photographers the best chance of shooting spontaneous action, this latest mirrorless camera from Canon has UHS-II card support with a burst rate of 80 L JPEG. Additionally, focus bracketing in both models makes it easy to achieve an extended depth of field by combining multiple shots in DPP. Unbeatable image quality Delivering high quality, detailed images free from shake and artefacts, these new cameras leverage a new APS-C CMOS sensor, which achieves full frame levels of resolution but with the additional benefit of reach provided by the APS-C format. Coupled with the DIGIC 8 processor, both newly launched models are enabled with the latest features from the EOS range which means photographers have greater reach, can crop further and take more detailed images than ever before. The processor also unlocks lens correction tools including the Digital Lens Optimiser and Diffraction Correction, which produce excellent images straight out of the camera. With incredible raw image quality and WiFi and Bluetooth capabilities, content creators can share images direct to social channels to create stunning, live content. For crisp, true to life photos which capture natural expressions and movements, Canon has incorporated a fast and accurate eye autofocus tracking solution in both cameras. In the EOS 90D, this works in collaboration with the 220,000-pixel RGB+IR metering sensor with Flicker Detection, for faithful face detection and greater control of overall exposure. This new sensor achieves greater resolution without compromising on low light performance, thanks to a high ISO of 100 – 25,600. Improving on the EOS M6, EOS M6 Mark II focuses at EV-5 when used with lenses with f/ or larger aperture – to perform even in cloudy moonlit conditions, as well of course as within buildings or shade. Future-proof content in 4K EOS 90D and EOS M6 Mark II are versatile cameras for stills and videos, capable of 4K resolution video utilising the full angle view of the lens attached and fast, Full HD up to 120 fps giving enthusiasts greater options for shooting, such as slow motion, cropped or super high resolution. 4K in cropped mode is also available from the EOS 90D, giving content creators the same great image quality, but with a further reach. This means operators can shoot high quality video even from a distance – a feature which provides enthusiasts the ability to capture stunning film in situations where they are unable to get up close to the action – like on safari. Canon’s renowned Dual Pixel CMOS AF system is available in both Full HD and 4K video modes and offers a wide area coverage of 88 x 100%, producing smooth, high-performance focus tracking in movies for professional-looking footage. When capturing moving subjects this ensures sharp subjects and a blurred background, while eye tracking defines the eyes of subjects, for sharper, more compelling movies. A microphone port gives vloggers and content creators alike the ability to use an external microphone to achieve clear, undistorted sound, while the EOS 90D also has a headphone port so content creators can have greater control over sound quality in videos while filming. This produces a good feed when the action is further away and minimises the amount of editing required in post-production as enthusiasts can manage sound levels as they record. For filming on the go, the portable EOS M6 Mark II has a handy tilting screen which ensures even selfie-style content is perfectly framed. Greater control and handling The ergonomic design of these models supports seamless and familiar handling to provide enhanced control for any style of photography. As the latest DSLR to join the EOS range, EOS 90D has a familiar, yet lighter body with a large grip for better handling and balance, particularly when using long lenses ideal for shooting sports or wildlife photography. With two multi-function dials – including one newly incorporated multi-controller, as found in the professional range on the rear of the camera - and customary EOS buttons, photography enthusiasts looking to enhance their skills can shoot instinctively and confidently with greater focus point selection and access to useful settings at their fingertips The EOS 90D is equipped with a number of customisable features which can be set to give a consistent look and feel to both photos and videos. Its Vari-Angle touch screen provides greater visibility of image composition whether shooting in high brightness or at a challenging angle. The compact size of EOS M6 Mark II enables a point and shoot style of photography needed to capture spontaneous moments on the go. A dial with function, main dial, customisable autofocus/manual focus selection switch and autofocus-start button are intuitively positioned for improved responsiveness in fast-paced shooting scenarios. The detachable viewfinder is raised and centrally aligned to create space and intuitive comfort for an immersive shooting experience, while the tilt-screen offers more creative capture and unrestricted video capabilities. Also launching today are two RF lenses - the RF 15-35mm IS USM and RF 24-70mm IS USM - expanding the pioneering lens line-up for the EOS R System. The EOS 90D is now available to pre-order from Canon’s online store and both will be on general sale from September 2019.

First Impressions We've spent some time shooting with the Canon EOS M6 Mark II and the EOS 90D DSLR cameras. Here are our initial first impressions... Canon is aiming to do the double and deliver high-resolution files and high speed captures with its latest two APS-C sensor incorporating interchangeable lens cameras – the mirrorless Canon M6 Mark II, and the Canon 90D DSLR. “We want to inspire our customers to explore a world of opportunities and tell their stories,” Canon UK’s Marketing Manager Didi Goddard told us at the London unveiling, “We’re still after every category that we have going.” She went on to share a market overview suggesting that Canon is still leading the DSC market, for which its G7 X Mark II is currently its best seller, while for CSC in the UK it has a strong’ number two position. That’s according to data from industry watcher GFK. She also revealed that Canon was still number one within the DSLR category for both APS-C models “which is still a massive focus for Canon” and full frame offerings such as the EOS 5D IV, EOS R and RP. Canon UK’s Product Specialist David Parry added that “People want the choice, so we’re sticking behind our ranges and growing them to get the best out of the technology that is available at the moment.” A case in point is its two new generation sensor-incorporating models. These are a replacement for the current 80D in the new EOS 90D, plus the EOS M6 Mark II, which replaces the original M6. David told us that, compared with its forebear, the Mark II is a super charged’ replacement, due the spec having been ramped up in comparison. The result, claimed David, is that internally the EOS 90D and EOS 6D Mark II’s technology “is almost exactly the same – it’s how you arrive at that final image that is different”. It’s not a great surprise to learn that the EOS 90D is aimed at the same type of user as the 80D – namely one who is into sports and wildlife photography. The new camera is, said David, all about resolution, speed and handling. By contrast, we were told, the M6 Mark II is more about capturing spontaneous moments, would be good for street photography, and is aimed at the technical enthusiast. “So you’d use this camera in a different way than you’d use the 90D.” Both are robust-feeling cameras when held in the palm, without being prohibitively heavy, even with lenses attached and batteries inserted. The weight of the 90D has even dropped by around 25g when compared to its predecessor and it now weighs a very manageable 701g without lens. Canon EOS 90D The EOS 90D’s APS-C sensor is combined with a Digic 8 processor, Dual Pixel CMOS AF like the rest of Canon’s current DSLR range, the ability to shoot 4K movies’ with no crop this time around at 30fps or 25fps, plus the ability to shoot up to 120fps in Full HD mode. Your videographer customers will want to know that the camera also delivers clean’ HDMI output, and is capable of shooting stills up to 10fps or 11fps if AF is fixed, making it, David suggests, a good step up for anyone owning a 70D or 80D. We also get 45 cross type AF points the standard AF system as also found on the 80D, focus bracketing, electronic shutter mode, an ISO100-25600 core range expandable to ISO51200, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, fully articulated vari-angle touch screen control, two multi controller joysticks on the rear of the camera a first for the range, plus a considerably improved 1300 shot battery life CIPA standard even though it uses the same battery as the previous generation. There’s also microphone and headphone input here for video shooters. The compatible battery grip for the EOS 90D is the same as that for the 80D the BG-E-14, David added. Canon EOS M6 Mark II Moving on, key selling points of the physically smaller EOS M6 Mark II – on which Canon admitted design has not changed massively’ compared with the earlier M6, except that the grip is slightly larger – include the fact that it boasts a market leading’ 14fps capture speed with AF, plus 1/16000 sec electronic shutter. Like the 90D it boasts the new MP APS-C sensor, Dual Pixel CMOS AF, and Digic 8 processor, while ISO range is the same as its bigger DSLR brother’ too. Exposure compensation can be dialed down to -5EV, there’s a tilting touch screen once again, plus support for touch and drag AF functionality. The camera weighs 408g without any lens, is compatible with its optional EVF-DC2 viewfinder and can be bought in a kit that includes both EVF and zoom lens. Further features include 4K video capture with no crop, or Full HD shooting at 50/60P. The camera is also Wi-Fi and Bluetooth equipped. Full-frame RF Series Lenses and EOS R/RP Firmware Update Two new Canon lenses for its mirrorless R’ and RP’ cameras originally teased back at The Photography Show in March are also being made available for sale on the same day at the same time in the RF 15-35mm f/ L IS USM and RF 24-70mm f/ L IS USM. These are described as super sharp, portable, durable and just as good at movies as stills, thanks to nano USM’ technology that means they’re quiet as well as fast, as well as combined image stabilization Canon has sensor as well as lens based IS. We couldn’t shoot with these pre-production lenses at the launch, but were at least allowed to hold them and size them up for feel and weight. Manual focus operation is claimed to be really smooth Finally the brand has announced an EOS R/RP Eye AF firmware update. The improvement is that eye detection starts a lot earlier on the camera and is more accurate, it’s claimed.

Your Comments Introduction Ease of Use Image Quality Sample Images Product Images Conclusion Main Rivals Review Roundup Specifications News First Impressions Hands On Preview Images Digital Camera World Verdict Where its predecessor was capable as a compact system camera, the Canon EOS M6 Mark II is a potent primary camera – regardless of category. Its powerhouse sensor sets a new benchmark for APS-C systems, along with ferocious 14fps continuous shooting and uncropped 4K video – all in a truly pocketable body with an optional viewfinder should you so desire. In everything save the mount and sensor size, this is poised to be an EOS R beater.

Find out how we test. The original Canon EOS M6 was easy to like, but difficult to love – much like the EOS M line as a whole. With Canon’s APS-C mirrorless camera range having seemingly plateaued at there were only so many bells and whistles that could make the M6 feel exciting – things like 4K video, which were sadly left the M6 with that awkward 'second camera' tag; that it was good enough to be your backup, or the one you took out when pictures weren’t quite as important, but it wouldn’t demand your attention beyond that. Well, you can officially throw that line of thinking out the window – both for the new Canon EOS M6 Mark II and the EOS M series as a whole. With all the tech that comes across our desks, it takes a lot for a camera to impress us these days. The M6 Mark II, however, took us completely by surprise with what it can do, and how capably it can do it. It's one of the best cameras for vlogging right now and certainly one of the best Canon cameras for those who want to go mirrorless. If you want the best camera for filmmaking, however, you may want to set your sights a little higher.• Canon EOS 90D vs Canon EOS M6 Mark II how do you choose?The Canon EOS M6 Mark II retains the 180° vertically tilting touchscreen Image credit FutureThe new powerhouse sensor gives this camera a higher resolution than its big brother, the Canon EOS R. In fact, the M6 Mark II packs more megapixels than any Canon body save the 50MP 5DS/R – not at all bad for the supposedly humble APS-C not only does it outmuscle the EOS R in the resolution stakes, it also outperforms it in a number of other departments – not least its freakish 14 frames per second continuous shooting mode, and the fact that it can shoot 4K video without any crop the two systems side by side, it actually becomes a challenge not to choose the Canon EOS M6 Mark II over its full-frame mirrorless siblings; it’s a more compact camera than the Canon EOS RP, and a more capable camera than the EOS R. While the Canon RF lens roadmap is undoubtedly better curated than the EF-M lineup, both mirrorless formats are still largely dependent on their seamless compatibility with traditional EF lenses. And, that being the case, the new M6 feels more compelling than its bigger brothers…Canon EOS M6 Mark II sample 1/125 sec, f/ ISO100 click top-right for full-size Image credit FutureSpecificationsSensor APS-C CMOS sensor Image processor Digic 8 AF points Dual Pixel CMOS phase detect, 143 / 99 points depending on lens ISO range 100 to 25,600 expandable to 51,200 Max image size 6,960 x 4,640 Viewfinder N/A Metering modes Evaluative, partial, center-weighted, spot Video 4K UHD up to 30fps, 1080p FullHD up to 120fps Memory card 1x SD / SDHC / SDXC UHS-II compatible LCD 3-inch tilting touchscreen, dots Max burst 14fps continuous, 30fps RAW burst mode Connectivity Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, USB-C, Micro HDMI Size x x mm Weight 398g body only, with battery and SD cardThe Canon EOS M6 Mark II features a switch to toggle between manual and autofocus Image credit FutureBuild and handlingThe Canon EOS M6 Mark II is slightly beefier than its predecessor, which measured x x mm and weighed in at 390g, but it remains a micro marvel. Even more so, in fact; for a camera this capable to be packed into a body this small is quite remarkable. However, there’s a temptation to conclude that its pocketable profile means it’s only fit for being a “travel camera” or a “street camera”. And yes, it is very much ideal for both of those things – but a more apt conclusion would be that the M6 Mark II is so small that it can transform the way you shoot, because you simply don’t require the bulky bodied system that you always thought you once again omitting a built-in viewfinder, the Mark II retains the sleek form factor that makes it at once compact for travel, discreet for street photography, one-handable for vlogging, and that perfect Goldilocks-size that’s still substantial enough for proper’ EOS M6 Mark II sample 1/250 sec, f/ ISO200 click top-right for full-size Image credit FutureFar from being a churlish move on Canon’s part, the decision to make the viewfinder an optional extra plays to the M6 Mark II’s strengths. The existing EVF‑DC2 available in a kit with the camera can be kept in a pocket and mounted to the hotshoe as and when required – this keeps the camera pocketable and portable, in a way that the EVF pentaprism would prevent. One of the nifiest additions to the Canon EOS M6 Mark II’s exterior is the new MF / AF toggle switch, filling part of the huge space next to the rear thumb grip. Seemingly superfluous at first, it quickly becomes a valuable part of your muscle memory – particularly with lenses that don’t feature their own an external MF / AF switch. The body features an ever so slightly chunkier grip, which helps it retain balance especially when using adapted EF lenses – something that will almost definitely be required, since the EF-M mount isn’t nearly as well catered for as its EF and RF counterparts. Its magnesium alloy chassis and thermoplastic exterior feel strong and sturdy, though the M6 isn’t an all-weather body and as such it’s not going to take the knocks that a 5D can.• The best EF-M lenses for your EOS M6 Mark IIThe optional EVF‑DC2 comes as part of a kit with the Canon EOS M6 Mark II Image credit FuturePerformanceWe first tried the EOS M6 Mark II in conditions that were far from optimal, in a dimly lit indoor karting track that was somewhat akin to shooting in the basement of a parking lot at night. Even so, the M6 Mark II impressed us. Subsequently we've tried it in more normal outdoor lighting, both for stills and video. The poor lighting certainly tested the ISO performance, while also putting the improved -5EV low light focusing through its paces. With the smaller sensor, noise does start to rear its head when you push beyond ISO1250, and capturing moving subjects at high speed meant that we had to exceed this by some margin. We cranked the ISO all the way up to 6400 for some low light test shots, such as the Budweiser sign, though the circumstances under which you would have to do likewise should be fairly slim. Despite the torrid illumination, the Canon EOS M6 Mark II’s 14 frames per second continuous shooting with continuous AF did a stellar job of keeping up with the action, capturing the cars as they came careening around corners. In fact, in some extremely limited testing, the improved Eye AF tracking even came in useful if drivers’ visors were up, as the camera was quick enough to find and follow EOS M6 Mark II sample 1/4000 sec, f/ ISO6400 click top-right for full-size Image credit FutureFinding focus manually is similarly smooth and simple, either tapping your focus point if shooting on the back screen or using touch-and-drag if using the EVF – a quick and capable replacement for a joystick, though obviously it’s not optimal in environments where cold fingers are less apt to be the lack of full articulation is a pity, the fact that the screen flips 180° does make it more vlogging-friendly – though the 180° display is impeded if you have something mounted on the shoe. This, and the lack of a headphone jack, makes the M6 Mark II less suited to pure video shooting than the Canon EOS 90D – an unfortunate oversight, as the smaller form factor would make this the more obvious vlogging notwithstanding, its 4K video comes up trumps. Not only is the footage uncropped, but the Dual Pixel AF is now fully functional while shooting 4K – and the camera now features clean HDMI output. Crop factors of varying severities can be introduced when using digital image stabilization, which is certainly effective but obviously eats into your composition. Canon EOS M6 Mark II sample 1/200 sec, f/ ISO500 click top-right for full-size Image credit FutureVideoThe EOS M6 Mark II does make a great camera for video, though it's more for the vlogging end of the market than serious filmmaking. It's very compact, it's very light and it's the easiest camera we've tried for gimbal mounting. You can see our sample video face/eye AF is excellent, and worked perfectly for our walking video test. It also has a large AF area 100% vertical x 88% horizontal. The resolution is not directly relevant for video, where the 4K UHD resolution is 3840 x 2160 pixels – a lot less than the full 6,960 x 4,640 pixels for stills – but the M6 Mark II produces decent quality 4K footage regardless, with great color 180-degree flip-screen is useful when you're filming yourself, though it has a tilting mechanism rather than the fully-articulating pivot found on many other Canon it's a fun little camera you can shoot some decent footage with. The buttons and switches are a good size and feel solid, and the menu navigation is easy, as we'd expect from a not all good. The EOS M6 Mark II does not yet shoot 4K at the popular 24fps frame rate which we're told is coming or at 60/50p which isn't. There's no in-body stabilization, so it's just as well it's light and wieldy on a gimbal, there's no zebra pattern exposure warnings, and no headphone jack to monitor the sound. The lack of a headphone jack is a surprise, since the technically similar EOS 90D DSLR does have one – and it's not often you can say a DSLR is better equipped for video than its mirrorless can shoot at a high frame rate in 1080p resolution, but not with continuous autofocus, and you don't get any log profiles either – though normally you'd only expect that in more expensive EOS M6 Mark II is as capable as a stills camera as it is for video, and delivers nice-looking colors.

However, increased image noise at sensitivities past ISO 3200 results in obscured fine detail and eventually the M6 II falls behind its competitors at ISO 12, rangeImage credit FutureThe EOS M6 II delivers an almost identical amount of dynamic range to the Fujifilm X-T30 throughout the tested sensitivity range – no mean feat, as the X-T30 is very strong in this area. However, the new Canon still has some way to go if it's to match the Nikon Z 50's class-leading dynamic range at higher worth noting that any in-camera dynamic range enhancement is disabled for our lab testing in order to get a level playing to noise ratioImage credit FutureOur signal to noise test measures image clarity, specifically the ratio of the actual image 'data' you want to capture, versus the image noise that you don't want, but will inevitably be visible when shooting at higher ISO sensitivities. The higher the score at a given ISO sensitivity, the the higher the pixel density on a imaging sensor, the more image noise is generated at a given ISO sensitivity, putting the Canon at a theoretical disadvantage in this test compared to it's slightly lower resolution these results prove the theory translates to reality, as both the X-T30 and Z 50 come out ahead, and by a fairly wide margin at higher sensitivities. The EOS M6 II does stay ahead of the Sony a6400, which we'd expect given Canon's sensor is a newer architecture than the chip in the Canon EOS M6 Mark II has given new life to the previously flagging EOS M line. We’d even go one step further and offer that the M6 Mark II might be the best mirrorless camera that Canon has yet released. Yes, it lacks the larger sensor and more robust offering of native lenses, but in almost all other respects it is operationally superior to both the EOS R and RP. More megapixels, higher frame-rate, uncropped 4K video… in many respects, this is the camera that its older brothers should have a faster continuous mode than the Canon EOS 90D, it’s arguably a more adept action camera for subjects such as wildlife and sports than its new sibling – though the 90D, somewhat bafflingly, possesses the extra tricks the articulating screen and headphone output that make it more capable for video. The Canon EOS M6 Mark II is a ferocious little performer. A true jack of all trades, but not in a pejorative sense – this camera pumps out high quality pictures and captures crispy 4K video, both of which are worthy of far pricier bodies.

First Impressions Taken in isolation, the Canon M6 Mark II is shaping up to be a very good all-rounder for travellers or street photographers who already have a stash of EF-M or EF lenses and are looking for a mini DSLR. The trouble is, as impressive as this camera’s specs are, they’re not drastically better than rival cameras that have either better native lens ranges like Fujfilm’s X Series or superior autofocus in the case of Sony’s A6400. In some ways, the M6 Mark II’s enthusiast-leaning controls and handling also feel a little at odds with its lack of a built-in viewfinder, which makes it feel like a slight shame that it didn’t also announce a Mark II version of EOS M5. Still, if you’re looking for a small, relatively inexpensive companion to your Canon DSLR and don’t mind using it with an EF-EOS M adaptor, it could well make sense as a frictionless option that feels and performs like a mini Canon 90D. We’ll bring you our full verdict very soon. Key Specifications Review Price £ body only APS-C sensor Dual Pixel CMOS AF system with Face and Eye AF Compatible with EF lenses via an adaptor 14fps burst shooting or 30fps Raw shooting with electronic shutter 3-inch tilting touchscreen Compatible with electronic viewfinder EVF-DC2 Canon’s launch of the EOS M6 Mark II sums up its approach to mirrorless cameras so far – it was announced alongside the Canon 90D, a DSLR that packs the same powers into an old-school design. With one eye on preserving its DSLRs, Canon has never really gone all-out on APS-C mirrorless cameras. Still, the EOS M6 Mark II might be the first time it’s launched a travel-friendly mirrorless model that doesn’t feel intentionally hobbled in some way. This viewfinder-less alternative to the EOS M5 doesn’t reinvent a weight class that’s led by the Sony A6400 and Fujifilm X-T30. But the M6 Mark II brings strong resolution, burst shooting and video upgrades that make it a promising option for owners of EF-M or EF-S lenses who fancy a street photography camera that doesn’t break the bank or the back. I spent a few hours with one in the challenging conditions of an indoor go karting track to see if it’s shaping up to be Canon’s best small, mirrorless camera so far… Related Best mirrorless cameras Design – The M6 Mark II’s bigger grip gives you a better handle on things The EOS M6 Mark II is a handsome, well-built camera for enthusiast photographers that doesn’t radically depart from its predecessor. There are two main design changes. One is a bigger grip, which makes it very comfortable to hold, particularly with longer lenses like the 18-150mm I mostly used it with. This means it handles better than most cameras of this size, particularly if you’re coming from a DSLR, with the grip noticeably bigger than the ones found on the Panasonic GX80 and Fujifilm X-T30. On the downside, it’s also slightly bigger and heavier than those rivals. As if to confirm that the M6 Mark II is courting advanced photographers rather than the point-and-shoot crowd, the other new features are an MF-AF switch on the back and a new customisable rear dial. Together, this all adds up to a very complete, intuitive control system that’s ideal if you like to shoot in manual or fine-tune settings while you shoot. Still, there is one big feature missing for advanced shooters – an electronic viewfinder. Like its predecessor, the EOS M6 Mark II does work with the EVF-DC2. This costs £187 when bought separately, though Canon will bundle this in the box when you buy the camera with the 15-45mm kit lens. I suppose this setup does give you the choice of trading the viewfinder for improved portability, when conditions suit. But given that the M6 Mark II still isn’t exactly pocketable without the viewfinder, it feels like advanced photographers might still be more attracted to the Canon EOS M5 or waiting for a Mark II version of that camera. Still, if you’re not too bothered about the lack of a built-in viewfinder, this side-by-side shows how much smaller the M6 Mark II is than the 90D, which is virtually its specs and features twin. Related Best camera Specs and features – A big upgrade on the M6 and a good all-rounder for the price The M6 Mark II might not have changed much physically, but it has been given a pretty serious boost under the hood. Like the Canon 90D, it pairs a APS-C sensor with Canon’s latest Digic 8 processor. What does that mean in the real world? Despite that extra resolution, it means you get improved burst shooting up from 7fps to 14fps for a better hit-rate when shooting action scenes, and the ability to shoot 4K video without a crop. Those aren’t the only boosts to burst shooting and video either. If you don’t mind using an electronic shutter which always brings the danger of rolling shutter, then you can shoot at up to 30fps in Raw. There’s also now a 120fps slo-mo mode when shooting video in Full HD, as well as Eye Detection AF when shooting with continuous autofocus in stills and movies. This all adds up to a very feature-packed camera for this price and, in practice, the M6 Mark II mostly lives up to its generous spec sheet. It’s fast and responsive, both in terms of start-up time and autofocus, and locked onto subjects well in the very tough conditions of a dingy, indoor Go Karting track. If anything, the performance is restricted most by the lack of native EF-M lenses. There are still only eight native lenses for EOS M cameras, with a distinct absence of exciting primes. Of course, you can always add the EF-EOS M adaptor an extra £135 to unlock Canon’s huge range of EF-M lenses, but this adds size and expense to a camera whose big appeal is supposedly lowering both of those things. Are there any other missing features? It’s a shame the M6 Mark II doesn’t have a fully articulating touchscreen like the Canon 90D, and without a headphone input it’s vlogging credentials are limited compared to its DSLR sibling. There’s also no in-built image stabilisation, though most EF-M lenses have built-in IS and this isn’t a feature you’ll find on the more expensive Fujifilm X-T30 or the Sony A6400. If you shoot a lot of handheld video or low light photos, then you’re better off looking at something like the Panasonic G90. Related Best vlogging cameras Image quality – Solid performance, but held back by native lens limitations It’s too early to make any final judgements on the M6 Mark II’s image quality, but so far it appears to follow in the footsteps of its predecessor – which means means reliable exposures with good pleasing colours, albeit without the sharpest detail around. The big benefit over the original M6 is less in image quality although that extra resolution is handy for cropping, but in the variety of images you can take. That boost to the burst shooting means the M6 Mark II is a potentially handy camera to have on hand in demanding action scenes, like Go Karting. Not every frame will be a keeper, of course, and Dual Pixel AF is less stellar at locking onto subjects that aren’t clearly contrasted with the background, but it certainly boosts your chances of getting a shot. The big bottleneck, as always, is lenses – without many native fast primes or constant aperture zooms in the EF-M lineup, you’ll likely need to adapt an EF-S lens to tease out the best performance and image quality from the M6 Mark II. The 18-150mm lens I used for most of these shots was pushed to its absolute limit by the gloomy conditions, so I’m looking forward to testing out the M6 Mark II with some faster lenses.

At the same time, the M6 II shares a number of features with its DSLR-sibling, the Canon EOS 90D, including the sensor, image processor, 4K video and Dual Pixel CMOS AF. The Canon EOS M6 Mark II will appeal to enthusiasts as well as snapshot-loving beginners. The former will feel right at home with a solid feature set and customization options. The latter will appreciate the easy to understand menu and helpful modes designed to take the confusion out of basic photographic operations. And, its compact size is a bonus for anyone who wants to travel light. All these attributes make the EOS M6 Mark II one of the best mirrorless cameras and one of the best cameras for vlogging, but we wish it had a viewfinder built vs. mirrorless cameras Which is best for you?Best camerasCanon EOS M6 Mark II Price and availabilityThe Canon EOS M6 Mark II costs $850 body only; no viewfinder; $1099 with the Canon EF-M 15-45mm f/ IS STM and EVF-DC2 viewfinder; $ with the EF-M 18-150mm f3.

At the same time, the M6 Mark II is solidly built.Image credit Tom's GuideEven with the Canon EF-M 15-45mm f/ IS STM kit lens, the combination remains fairly compact, especially when the lens is retracted. A small switch on the lens barrel locks/unlocks the zoom function. If you forget to unlock it, a reminder shows up on the LCD and you can’t take a picture until you move the switch and zoom the lens. This design is not uncommon and while it’s an extra step, it’s worth it to keep the lens as low profile as EOS M6 Mark II ErgonomicsHow a camera feels in-hand is important, but is even more significant with smaller cameras like the Canon M6 II. With the exception of the removable/optional electronic viewfinder, the M6 II is well built. Image credit Tom's GuideA deep grip provides a solid handhold with a comfortable fit. The slightly angled shutter button, which is surrounded by main dial, is perfectly positioned for your forefinger, making it convenient to quickly grab a shot. Dual dials, the main front and quick control rear, are within easy reach. They’re used for conveniently and efficiently adjusting shutter and aperture, as well as scrolling through menus and changing other settings. Image credit Tom's GuideWhile all buttons and dials are located on the right hand side of the camera, they are logically arranged and easy to access. Although photographers with large hands should try the camera on for size before purchasing, external controls are a usable size for most EOS M6 Mark II TouchscreenThe Canon EOS M6 II’s 3-inch touchscreen is highly responsive. The touch function can be disabled or set to one of two levels of sensitivity. I found that the default “standard” sensitivity worked perfectly.Image credit Tom's GuideIn addition to touch autofocus and shutter release, the touchscreen can also be used to navigate menus and change settings. In Playback mode, you can swipe to review images and pinch to zoom. Of course, you can use hard controls for menus, settings and playback functions but the touchscreen is a convenient what I really like about the M6 II’s touch operation is the ability to choose the focus point while using the optional electronic viewfinder EVF. This allows you to steady the camera with the EVF at your eye and tap and drag the focus point. Better yet, you can designate which part of the touchscreen is active. For example, you may find it easier if the upper left is touch sensitive and use that area for moving the focus point. I generally chose the whole panel and found that even when my nose was pressed against the LCD, there was no accidental movement of the point. These choices are only available in the menu system when the EVF is attached. Otherwise you have the basic touch/touch shutter EOS M6 Mark II PerformanceEven with its 32 MP sensor, this little camera is fast, shooting up to 14fps with auto exposure and autofocus. Tracking works pretty well although continuous AF can’t always keep up with a shooting speed of 14fps, so some images may not be in focus. Drop the continuous shooting speed to 7fps, and you’ll have a higher percentage of in-focus shots. At both speeds, the buffer clears fairly quickly and you can continue shooting while images are written to the SD card.Image credit Tom's GuideNew for the M6 Mark II is the RAW burst mode, which pushes the camera to 30fps. You’ll end up with cropped 18MP images but when you feel the need for speed, give it a try. And, the camera starts shooting seconds before you fully depress the shutter, so if the action happens a little early, you’ll still get the dual pixel AF, like that found during our Canon EOS 90D review, auto focus performance is quite good as well. Even in lower light, the focus tends to lock in quickly, especially for single point AF. Face detection and eye AF are generally fast and EOS M6 Mark II Image qualityOverall, image quality is quite good. Straight out of the camera JPEGs are usable with little to no processing, though you can also capture images in the RAW test shots were captured using the Standard Picture Style, although a number of other options are also available including Auto, Portrait, Landscape, Faithful, Detail and Monochrome.

They are logically arranged and easy to navigate so even beginners are able to explore the camera’s various settings and shooting options. With built-in RAW processing, users who don’t have the time, inclination or skills to “develop” Raw files in separate software can quickly edit these files with ease. And photographers who want to effortlessly explore their creative side will make good use of the M6 Mark II’s filter effects mode.

In addition to uncropped 4K 3840 x 2160 at 30p, the M6 Mark II offers full HD 1920 x 1080 at 60p and 30p, HD 1280 X 720 AT 60p along with HDR movies and 4K and Full HD time-lapse movies. There’s also a 120 slow motion option and a microphone quality is good with accurate colors. Footage can be a little soft but you’re only likely to notice it on close examination. Keep in mind, though, that you’ll lose some quality if/when you opt for the digital image EOS M6 Mark II Optional electronic viewfinderWhen designing with size and price in mind, there are always compromises. We assume that’s why Canon decided to continue to use an optional electronic viewfinder the EVF-DC2, as it did with the M6, instead of a built-in electronic viewfinder like on the M5. Image credit Tom's GuideAlthough we understand the logic behind this decision, there are some issues to be aware of. First, if you use the EVF—which attaches to the hotshoe—you can’t use an external flash or mount a microphone on top of the camera. The latter may not be an issue unless you want to flip up the LCD for course, adding the EVF adds more bulk to the kit, partially negating its appeal as a compact camera. If you’re traveling, you could always remove the EVF and stow it in your pocket or camera bag but, still, it takes up a bit more space and then there’s the inconvenience of having to attach and detach it.Image credit Tom's GuideThe EVF is bundled with the M6 Mark III EF-M 15-45mm IS STM kit $1,099 and the EF-M 18-150mm IS STM kit $1,349 but you’ll have to budget an extra $200 for the EVF-DC2 if you buy the $850 body only version. Image credit Tom's GuideThe older EVF-DC1 $300, although not currently in stock at the Canon store, adds the ability to tilt the viewfinder.Image credit Tom's GuideAll that said, if you purchase one of the two kits, you’ll have the option to use/not use the EVF. With the EVF, you’ll be able to better steady the camera against your eye; without it, the camera maintains its compact size. It’s a personal preference and while testing I switched back and forth and ended up preferring shooting without the EVF. Canon EOS M6 Mark II Lens selectionAlthough I only tested the camera with the 15-45mm kit lens, with good results, it’s almost guaranteed that a higher end lens will deliver more detail and better image quality given the camera’s 32MP sensor. Image credit Tom's GuideWhile Canon offers eight M-mount lenses, all but two are slow with a maximum aperture of f/ or f/4. Fortunately, many are image stabilized. We hope that faster lenses are forthcoming in the future, with higher resolving power. Sigma offers a trio of fast, M-mount prime lenses 30mm f/ 16mm f/ and 56mm f/ all for less than $500. Still, by comparison, Sony has 50 lenses compatible with its a6000-series mirrorless cameras, although some of them are priced well over $1, M-mount adapter is available for $200, which allows you to use Canon’s EF and EF-S EOS M6 Mark II VerdictThe Canon EOS M6 Mark II is an appealing camera thanks to its image quality and high-speed performance. However, it has some stiff competition in this mid-range category of mirrorless the Canon M6 II tops the list when it comes to sensor resolution but, personally, I prefer the ergonomics and the color rendering of the Nikon Z50. Other options that are highly competitive across the board include the Fuji X-T30 and the Sony a6400. All three offer a built-in electronic viewfinder. The Fuji X-T30 beats the Canon M6 II’s shooting speed 20 vs. 14fps and the Sony a6400’s tracking and autofocus system is a bit faster and more accurate than that of the Canon M6 IIWhile each may have slightly different benefits and drawbacks, it’s a fairly level playing field. Think about what’s most important for your shooting needs and make a decision from there. At the same time, there’s an awful lot to like about the Canon EOS M6 Mark II. Other than the optional EVF issue, most people will be more than happy with this little camera. Theano Nikitas is a freelance journalist and photographer.
