Canon EOS M6 ii: Mini-Review

[@700nura]

That honesty, that mild music in the background and that amazing, soothing voice... I love this channel so much.

[@AF-fe2ej]

What I really like about this review is that it gives a very real-world focused perspective on it. I really don't like the "no IBIS, literally unusable, canon sucks" attitude that some people seem to have nowadays, where it's more about comparing stats than actual usage. Glad you enjoy your new camera, you certainly earned it!

[@fightforthelight1220]

Yeah.. The camera make very good photos.. I'm not interested in video or youtube, so what? Most people hate the m50 or new m6 because crop 4k or soft image quality.. Im a photographer, not video maker

[@MacPhantom]

I wish I could upvote this comment more than just once. It's fine if KZbinrs want to tell us how they the miss in-body stabiliser, C-log and whatever, but I am sick and tired of hearing them complain as if the world had come to an end.

[@tyroney2]

A F IBIS is a feature that almost all photographers (who shoot more than one genre) rely on-especially on such a high MP crop sensor. Also, because Canon’s EF-M primes lack IS as well, getting sharp photos is made meaningfully more difficult for many. I’d hate to forgo an EVF, but that doesn’t make the camera “literally unusable.” Canon finally come out with a great sensor that beats out the competition in resolution, and they ignore a couple key features. It’s too bad, IMHO. They also have the same problem that Sony did for almost 8 long years... no f/2.8 standard zoom lens. Fuji is the only manufacturer that truly takes APS-C seriously (and even they have yet to offer IBIS in their top models). I’m sure this Canon would be fun to own, but it’d be hard to justify investing ~$2K in a system with these issues and not much expected lens support.

[@RWAquariumPages]

Thanks for this great video. 4 years later from the release of this review I want to get one as my travel and edc

[@Harald787]

Great little review and same as you I love this camera. Yust bought one second hand, as new, for just 400 euros including the kit lens, great deal. Bought 2 second hand lenses, again as new, for 300 euros: 55-200mm and 28mm macro. Great travel and walkarround kit.

[@kevindiossi]

The more people that get their hands on this camera, the more people will understand just how good it is. Plenty of room to complain about the lack of native lenses, but everything you need is there for creative photography - maybe just not "professional" photography. But, as a walk around and travel camera, the EOS-M series stays true to the original beneficial claims of mirrorless being smaller and lighter. All of it's lenses are extremely compact and the 11-22, 22, and 32mm are -in my opinion- essential lenses for this camera. I wish Canon had at least considered weather sealing on some of the lenses and bodies, however.

[@snowwalker9999]

Weather sealing plus a wide zoom lense (10-18mm) and a telephoto lens (55-250mm) both with constant aperture of at least f4, both IS and weather sealed. And, one 85mm f/1.8 prime (since Sigma has released 3 ef-m primes already). There is no reason why one could not take professional photos with Canon M series.

[@tyroney2]

Kevin DiOssi The lack of image stabilization in-camera (or in any of the Canon or 3rd party) primes would be a dealbreaker for me-especially given the really high MP sensor in this. The lack of an EVF and a standard f/2.8 zoom lens (and just a lack of lenses in general) make this not something I’d want to invest $1,000s of dollars in. Canon clearly wants you in the RF ecosystem if you need a fully capable camera system-which doesn’t make this camera seem like the revolution in thinking it’s purported to be here. Canon’s is always taking two steps forward and one step back. 🙄

[@mrinsaf]

You forget the 15-45 lens, it sticks 50% most of the time on my m5 regardless having other better lens haha, size just motivate me to bring it wherever i go

[@kevindiossi]

@@marknathan7744 you'll find how incredibly irrelevant that is when you actually take photos. A photo captured on a 32mp sensor versus a 24mp sensor will still look better when normalized. People act like a lens becomes useless on 32mp! LOL

[@professionalpotato4764]

@@tyroney2 A gimbal would solve the need for IBIS. The EF-M was probably started as a part-time baby project to dabble and test the mirrorless market. The RF was their real serious attempt. If they had better foresight, they would have made RF-S system and RF. Just like what Sony and Nikon are doing. The right way. But the RF system is extremely anti-beginner friendly though. Not a single affordable budget lens at the moment. Still, this camera is a good upgrade for someone like me who's trying to move up from entry level DSLRs but can't afford a $10,000 full frame kit yet. Afterall it's just about $1200 with the adapter and you get access to all the pre-owned EF glass. No merit to buying native M glass imo. This system is probably deader than M43.

[@EwanLim]

I highly recommend this camera to everyone. I brought the m6 mkii as a 2nd (b) cam on a shoot and ended up using it over my EOS R camera. Real world usage is crazy good and pisses me off because of how good it is. I shot a few underexposed shots and both raw and jpg files held up very well.

[@nunofarizo]

You have that same autofocus mode on the Eos r, I've been using it on weddings and it is amazing!

[@doros9.2]

Thanks, Chris. Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

[@oliviervanespen]

The 32 mp match perfectly with the EF-M 32 mm 1.4. Sharp and wonderful images. The M6ii will become a Canon best seller soon.

[@MaximMuir]

I used to scream at my TV every time you'd bring out the M3 for an aps-c format test with lenses, "Chris, get RID of that piece of JUNK!!!!" (I actually used a stronger word than junk). Thank you for the replacement.! Rejoice in the Lord always, again I say rejoice! Happy Christmas, Chris!

[@SupraWes]

Aww, I like(d) my M3.

[@christopherfrost]

I was completely and utterly sick and tired of my M3 by the end. It didn't age well with use. I sold it for like, £120, or something - I was glad just to get that, hehe

[@robertcudlipp3832]

Given the apparently killer IAF of the Sony a6400 ( not to mention the FF siblings), excellent to see Canon staying relevant to the camera market. Everyone differs in their shooting, but the IAF of this Canon , notably for people type shooting ( unlike Chris and his landscape penchant) is a huge appeal.

[@collinmclaren6608]

My eyes went wide when you mentioned the initial autofocus tracking.

[@MoarenaZ]

I use the canon M6 since a couple of years for landscape and milky way photography and I do not miss the viewfinder. About lenses, third manufacturers are covering the void that Canon can not, like Rokinon ( 8mm, 10mm, 12mm, 35mm and 50mm), Tamron (the all in one 18-200mm AF and stabilized) and Sigma with 16mm, 30mm and 56mm, 9 lenses for the m-mount, plus the native canon lens (7+9=16 options).

[@Design475]

Looking forward to seeing more ef and efm lens reviews with your new camera! Love your vids Chris, and I really enjoy using my m50.

[@tomasrandom6430]

awesome review. Many of us don't need in depth review, we are too lazy for that. Your type or review here is just perfect. Review more cameras, please.

[@ericdanthon2]

I still have the original M6 and love it. The 15-45mm lens is awesome and sharp. I don't think they will ever waste time trying to make a 2.8 zoom for this series though.

[@robertcudlipp3832]

Told me all I needed to know, in Christopher's usual concise style. Good effort by Canon and now for some better native glass.

[@smaakjeks]

2:12 - If you downscale the Canon cam pics to the same resolution as the Sony cam pics, you can see how much noise is due to smaller pixel area and what is due to sensor technology itself.

[@justin-botha]

fantastic video Christopher, Ive been wanting to upgrade from my original EOS M! im glad I held out as this camera looks incredible! I had recently spoken to Canon through their live chat and they brought me up to speed with what's changed since my EOS M and that led me to your video, I think im going to go for it!

[@philfyphil]

hello again Chris. Well, I purchased mine a while ago and I'm really happy with it. I got the kit with viewfinder and lens. I also bought the adapter and I'm using all my EF lenses with it. Would be interested to hear how you are getting on having had it for a while now. Maybe a min review update using a good lens. I use mine with the EF 40mm pancake lens a lot. I have also used it with my Sigma 100 - 400 which as you cam imagine dwarfs it! I can't honestly say I've really used it a lot yet due to all the terrible weather!

[@minbuichai4512]

Congrats on your new toy! Happy new year 2020!

[@SupraWes]

Nice review Chris. I am a longtime fan of the EOS M system, I have 3 of them. I have hopes that Canon will at least make a 17-55 2.8 lens in EOS M mount. The little prime lenses are great. I like the viewfinder on my M5 better than the X-T3 I use at work, it is the closest to replicating an optical viewfinder I have ever used. Have a merry Christmas!

[@alanstanway6118]

Your usual concise review Chris, no need for me to say more! However I'd like to wish you and the family a very happy Christmas and a successful 2020

[@bozmundarts2614]

i think canon has two audiences in mind, people who are pretty new to cameras and wont need super sofisticated technologies or lenses, or old stand by photographers that would just need an adapter to get their precious lenses on these cameras. so they have upgrades in new products but barely ever they are absolute beasts of high resolution, new technology and performance, as long as they keep consistent with their well known qualities, these audiences will stay glad of getting a canon camera every time... for the most part at least. this is just a guess of mine though...

[@zegzbrutal]

Still true in 2023

[@DrEarbuds]

Thank-You for this Christmas Present review Chris . I'm so curious about getting this Camera because I currently use the Canon M6 on my channel . I'm thinking about the Canon M50 or this M6 mark ii also others in consideration .

[@Quoutub]

Canon's D+2 Highlight Tone Priority isn't double Highlight Tone Priority. It's not like Fuji's DR400. D+2 is still the same as D+, just with a slightly different tone mapping. The minimum Iso is still 200, not 400 in D+2 mode. By the way, the jpgs can capture a much higher dynamic range at the lowest contrast setting, which I combine with D+2. Canon's lower contrast settings are not like contrast settings from other cameras. You get far fewer blown out highlights with the lowest contrast setting. Therefore the lowest contrast setting also looks the best in my opinion. At the lowest contrast setting the results are more similar to the high dynamic range of Apple, Google cameras. The default contrast setting looks very unnatural.

[@fightforthelight1220]

Thanks you... I often find the shadows too extreme, I test it with very little contrast in camera settings..

Thank you very much, Christopher, there is nothing to shame about your "mini review", and I did not enjoy it less than the DPReview's and Gordon's. About the viewfinder: I wonder, do you actually possess an EVF-DC2, and where do you have it when you are on tour with the Canon M6 Mark II?

[@BiggeDink]

Get the EVF. It's excellent and keeps your nose away from the screen. I leave mine on the camera all the time. The original M6 model is a great deal at the current holiday prices. The Canon EF-S 18-135mm lens works great via the adapter.

[@bryanbuff]

This camera plus the Sigma 30mm 1.4 is a little powerhouse. Add the Sigma 16mm 1.4 and you got a solid kit.

[@pinakijana9479]

@@Aksunkuvat That's not a Sony censor. Plus a small Aps-C censor with that high of a resolution won't give you the best dr. If you want dynamic range then choose bigger sensor with lower resolution.

[@iczemi]

Thank you for the review. I am looking to upgrade from canon eos m6 to eos m6 ii.

[@antonsiberian]

I really like your review of this camera. Same quality as a lens review! I have the older Canon M6 and I do agree with all your pros and cons. I also agree that Canon's image sensor is a bit noisier than Sony (I had a Sony A6000 and it has a bit cleaner image overall). Anyway I like it, especially with the Viltrox speedboster and Canon EF lenses I don't feel the lack of lenses for the Canon M mount.

[@AgnostosGnostos]

Most APS-C sensors like that of Sony, Nikon, Pentax, Fujifilm etc have an area of 370 mm² and a crop factor of 1.5X. However Canon APS-C sensors of dSLR and mirrorless cameras are a little smaller with a surface area of 330 mm² and a crop factor of 1.6X. The full frame sensors have an area of 860 mm². So a full frame sensor is 2.6 times larger than the Canon APS-C sensor (860/330mm²). A full frame sensor with the pixel density of the Canon EOS M6 Mark II would be 86.6 MP (2.6X32.5MP). Much more than the impressive full frame e-mount Sony α7r IV 60MP.

[@krollpeter]

... and that is what Canon should really do, only full frame cameras in all price classes from the 200 dollar plasticky consumer model to the high-end and pro models, and then continue optimizing one of the best lens ranges in the market. I don't care if the camera is small, I believe a certain substance benefits me.

[@davidshaw5979]

Great post Cristopher, does the tracking still lock on as well, when using the electronic view finder? Thanks for all you work , I wish you and your family a very merry Christmas and very prosperous New Year. all the very best.

[@christopherfrost]

I haven't tested it, but it certainly should do

[@orangorill]

The lack of lenses has sort of been the go-to dismissal for the M series, but what are we really lacking now? With the Sigma trio and the Canon 22mm, you have a great set of wideish to longish primes, and the zooms are decent enough for what they are: Affordable walkaround lenses for daylight use. I guess I might feel differently if I were a pro, but I've never quite understood the appeal of fast zooms. They are big, expensive and usually much slower than primes anyway. If I were recommending a camera to a beginner today, I'd definitely consider the EOS M50. Along with the Lumix GX80, I'd say it's the best choice in the price range. M6 though, I don't know. The X-T30 a very compelling camera, and the X-E3 is seriously cheap these days.

[@ChristianLawrence]

Hi Christopher , in addition to the kit lens on this camera what would be your next 5 lens in order to purchase. Used for video and stills, no ef glass as it is a lightweight B cam for my use. Can't decide whether 22mm or 11-22 is better. 35mm appears to be great. Then 55-200 or the 18-150.? Thanks appreciate your feedback if you get time. Cheers Chris

[@bobfromhull]

Hi Chris. The new 32meg sensor is a good performer. There are however some great lenses out there that are now not so great with a 90D attached, and a red ring of L series doesn't offer you ant guarantees either. I'm taking pictures at hyperfocal settings that now have a visible DOF envelope. A lot of normals we have become familiar with like hand holding shooting speeds as a reciprocal of the focal length will need a rethink.

Million dollar question and my big dilema: I cant choose. Help with arguments and reasons why are highly welcome. I dont do video, just images of landscape, travel and occasional macro. I dont care about which way screen tilts. All whats important to me is sharp, clean images with great dynamic range. Im not sure if its better to grab M6 mk2 body only with few lenses, OR M5 for a bargain price, actually almost 45% cheaper than M6 mk2. Will images on M6 mk2 be vastly better or less noisy than M5? Will it justify the almost double price now? Secondly, will the image quallity on them be better with EF-M or EF-S via adapter? I am into EF-M 11-22/EF-S 10-18 and EF-M 55-200/EF-S 55-250 and EF-M 28 macro/EF-S 35 macro. Which will do better quallity stills? EF-Ss are cheaper a bit too, but in case of a big image quallity difference, then price is not the important parameter. Thanks

I’d just have to say that its AF can’t really be compared to the current phase detect AF systems in most new mirrorless cameras. But-to the extent that matters for each person is very different. (I use far more manual focus glass on my a6300 and a7II, so bleeding edge AF performance isn’t a big deal to me either-even with AF glass.)

Very happy with mine, bought the kit with the EVF, and add the superb EF-M 32mm 1.4. But also use my EF tele with the adapter.

[@GJHuman]

If you need to choose between your Sony A7r ii and this M6 ii? I know it's very different. But I though of upgrading my A5100 to the A7r ii. But the Canon cameras are becoming a good upgrade option.

[@christopherfrost]

The a7R II, of course. But bear in mind it costs twice as much so they're not really comparable

[@Leon-dt8uo]

Hi, Does anybody know if the original M6 has the same incredible autofocus features?

[@anatoleh1]

Thank you for the review.

[@sgfotos9149]

I hate the lack of built-in EVF! truly sucks. Chris. How you tried the EF-EFM adapter? I'd love to know how the AF works, specially with the everyday portrait lenses, like 35, 50 and 85mm

[@christopherfrost]

Sure, I own that adaptor. it works fantastic IMO. The footage at 03:48 was taken with it and the Canon EF 85mm f/1.8

[@sgfotos9149]

@@christopherfrost thanks so much chris, blessings. Great channel and great video as usual

[@stevenleibson2188]

Thanks Chris. From your video, it appears that the Canon EF 85mm f1.8 lens works OK with the EOS M6 ii. Is that correct? Seems like the 90D has a problem making that lens work. Appears to be a firmware bug.

[@christopherfrost]

I haven't heard of that problem. With the EF-EF-M adaptor it should work fine with virtually every Canon EF lens

[@soumyajit92]

Hi, which one should i get with this body .. 18-55 or 18-150 as a first lens? in terms of sharpness and overall image quality.

[@ericdanthon2]

Get the 18-150. It will never come off your camera! I love it.

[@1Crbodybuilding]

Is the kit lense any good?

[@notthesame3606]

Hello everyone, can anyone please confirm: Initial AF pt set for tracking is not available on the M50 Mark 1 & 2 ? It's too sad that it seems like the Canon Cripple Hammer is real :( I would really like to use the M50 for sports action, but I can't find any useful AF setting. Touch and drag is just not realistically working in the field when you have quick moving action...my thumb is just not precise and not quick enough. Thanks !

[@VictoriosoCH]

could you also review the nikon z50 please)

[@slammermx]

Merry Christmas from México

[@Jimmyageek]

Where is Z50 Review + DX Z Mount LENS Review ?

[@christopherfrost]

What do you mean 'Where is'? Why would you have presumed I have tested that?

[@Jimmyageek]

Christopher Frost Photography I thought you are excited for Nikon Z50, relax and love your honest reviews

[@christopherfrost]

@@Jimmyageek Oh - why did you think that? Did I mention it somewhere? I don't remember

[@daveengland4261]

A channel did some testing and found out there was so much pixel binning going on in 4k that it was essentially shooting 2.5k

[@BecaTosha]

hello, Christopher, do think this camera still worth buying in 2022?

[@金基德-k7h]
