Its great. I got it very recently and my current setup is this: (I am a 14 year old photographer based out of the UK) The camera Body (Canon M6 Mark II) The Lens (EFS 60mm Canon Ultrasonic Macro lens) A view finder (EVF-DC2) A Lens mount adapter (EF-EOS M canon adapter) And I use 32 gig SD cards.

@@dj_mango8454 Great! I started getting serious about photography when I was 14 years old. Back then, I had a much less capable camera, an Olympus E-410 - a DSLR that didn't even record video. So, enjoy your Canon M6 Mark II; you have a great camera. The other gear you've mentioned is nice too.

in my opinion probably still the best camera for traveling light. the EF-M18-150, 11-22 and 32 mm F/1.4 combo is perfect for the purpose. With adapter and L series lenses it becomes a monster! The video side is also discreet and by choosing a neutral profile it produces files that are very workable in post production even if we are not talking about 10 bit; it's really a shame that Canon has decided to discontinue the M series; perhaps not even Canon had understood its potential!

I like the way you concluded your idea, the last phrase, and I agree with everything you wrote! Now, as I'm typing, I stopped at a pub after work to see some friends. I have 6 cameras at home, but guess what's in my bag? That's right, the M6 Mark II. Glad to see you recognize and appreciate this camera's potential! Even if we'll not see EOS M cameras, hopefully Canon will launch a EOS R camera with the same shape as an M6 Mark II.

great video. I’ve owned one of these bad boys since 2021 and I LOVE it . I’ve done professional work with it, and taken it on trips and it’s so portable and a joy to use even to this day. I found myself recommending one to my brother on Wednesday but I was hesitant for pretty much all the reasons you stated in the video. I gave him fair warning but for me, I’m in no hurry to move to the R mount

Thank you! I'm happy to hear you like the M6 Mark II, even though you're mindful of its limitations. Despite those, it remains a reliable camera, which is why I'm also in no rush to switch to the R mount.

I've been using this camera since 2021 and still going strong! The choice of lenses are Tamron 18-400mm with EF-M adapter and Samyang 12mm and with those I've managed to capture many great shots! M6 Mark II is my choice as long as it lasts!

Since the Canon M6 Mark II came out, I’ve said to myself 'What more could I need from a camera?' - It is excellent now and will be good enough many years from now, so I completely understand why this camera is your choice for as long as it lasts. You also chose some nice lenses. All the best to you! Enjoy your gear!

I liked my M50 a lot, it was my light camera next to my 5Ds and R5 but sold it because 1. They never made an M5II (viewfinder), 2. I think 32Mpix on APS-C is a waste of data and it renders most great full frame lenses average, 3. I couldn't justify having so many lenses with different mounts (and adapters). So I got an R10 and sold my beloved tiny lenses (23 f2!). The R10 might be a better overall camera but not much better for photography at all and I miss the form factor (and the 23mm lens!!). The M6II didn't fit the bill either but with a viewfinder and 2 dials I would have bought it to replace my M50 in the blink of an eye.
@andyklapper84845 ай бұрын
I own one. I love it. I use it as a travel camera were the small size is a major benefit. Not only the camera, but the lens as well. The weather sealing would have been great, because it did get splashed and I had to send it in to Canon for repair. My main question is - what is the alternative to the M6 mark II? Did Canon come out with a slightly larger mirrorless camera? Do I need to switch to another vendor for a pocket sized professional grade camera with interchangeable lenses?
@cameraexplorations5 ай бұрын
Good questions! The M6 Mark II was and still is a great camera - it is the best at this size, comfortably fitting in the pocket. Sony has the A6000 series, very similar to the M6 Mark II, but their rubbery viewfinder can cause issues in the pocket. You can try one of those Sony cameras or opt for the newer cameras Canon released: Canon R10 (quite small, but without weather sealing), Canon R7 (bigger, but it has weather sealing). The M6 Mark II was one of a kind; unfortunately, nothing beats that small size + performance at the moment.

I just bought one. And yes I know about the lenses and EoL obviously. But I got mine with two of The Sigma Prime's and a bunch of the original EF-M's that covers more than I want. For what i do, the 22mm and the Sigma 56 1.4 do 90% of what i ever need. I guess if you are in the hobby of collecting lenses you will be in trouble. But how many lenses does one really need?
