I love my M6 II. I use it when I'm traveling, hiking, going to parties, and more. The size is perfect and I always appreciate Canon ergonomics. I'm sad that it is now obsolete (not the camera, but the mount), but I have enough lenses to do just about anything that I need to do. And yes, the Sigma lenses are the bomb.

[@Ninja_Mittens]

Have an R7 that I shoot with normally, but was super disappointed canon's current lineup didn't have anything that felt good for travel/street photgraphy. Picking up one of these today with the 22m and I am stoked

[@AndrewKnepper]

Nice! I definitely want the R7, but I'm keeping the M6 II for the foreseeable future since it's so portable and honestly great quality with that 32mp sensor!

[@LivingByFire]

I bought mine new a few years ago. Other than the limitless recording in the new Canon cameras, my M6 Mark II smokes most of the new Canon R line. It is IMHO the most underrated camera that is still a very viable camera, even for professional work.

[@AndrewKnepper]

Totally agree! This camera is very underrated!

[@mwigle]

I suspect the pandemic ended Canon's M-series. I carry my M6mkii for street photography with very small and optically perfect Leica M-mount lenses. I find that setting the focal range like a rangefinder lets me grab quick shots in the moment. The flexibility to program all the dials and buttons really lets me set the camera up for stealthy shots!

[@AndrewKnepper]

Yeah it's hard to want to get anything else when this little camera has so many useful features and in a perfect compact design! Still love using it!

[@tonykeltsflorida]

My M6 II is the best camera I have. I have lots of EF lenses. I have Viltrox adapter and speedbooster. I use the FV mode for photos.

[@AndrewKnepper]

Very nice!

[@user-eq5ux2yq7s]

A big thanks from Hong Kong! I bought mine like 5 years ago but I started using it till this year with my new lens (22mm f2.0, 32mm f1.4, 56mm f1.4). They really release the full potential of my M6 II! (The kit lens disappointed me a lot) Would you recommend the EF or EF-S lens on this camera? I'm looking for a good quality zoom lens.

[@AndrewKnepper]

I do enjoy my Sigma 18-35mm 1.8 lens and I have a review on my channel about it!

[@andrewcrossley2448]

The Canon M wide angle zoom ( 11-22 )has IS and is very highly rated. A bargain especially second hand. It’s also small. It’s my standard on camera. For a laugh I used the large 70 to 300mk 2 EF and the adapter. It focused instantly and has huge reach. Not sure how long the battery lasts with it on but for wildlife it’s amazing. The older standard M zoom (18 to 55) is far better built than the new kit lens and very cheap second hand. The little 55 to 200 is useful as a light carry around too. It’s not super sharp at the edges but does have good central imaging which is useful for things like compressing mountain ranges. The 18 to 150mm zoom is supposed to be better at edge sharpness and a good all rounder. For travel I take the 11-22mm zoom the tiny 22mm as it’s great for street work and super sharp and the 55-200mm for its reach and light weight. In many respects you have already got the best prime lenses for stills, the Canon 32mm is easily the sharpest M lens and keeps its value. Very desirable and even better than the great Sigma 30mm.

A very underrated camera. I didn’t like Canon’s decision in discontinuing this line. Good in depth info.

[@AndrewKnepper]

Yeah I would have loved a M6 mark III

[@kardoentertainment]

@@AndrewKnepper still using this until it dies on me.

[@soyude7852]

Such an underrated channel. You deserve more than 20k subs

[@AndrewKnepper]

Thanks!

[@KevinSmythPhotography]

Love my M6II and my M50!

[@AndrewKnepper]

Same!

[@tituskiprutto7162]

Same! my favorite thing to do with My M6 Mark2 and M50 is adapting vintage glass. I use an ef to ef-m speed booster plus either an ef to m42 or ef to FD adapter(both by Viltrox)... lets me use over 20 of my vintage Canon FD, KMZ Helios and Carl Zeiss sonnar/jena lenses... I almost never use modern lenses

[@KevinSmythPhotography]

@@tituskiprutto7162 Sounds amazing. I love older lenses.

[@andrewjedi]

thank you! what camera are you shooting with right now for your talking head?

[@AndrewKnepper]

That would be the Canon R10. Thanks for watching!

[@Andredelapaz07]

Am I doing something wrong but it doesnt let me change the white balance unless i use the auto options it has. it doesnt let me set my own white balance

[@AndrewKnepper]

You can definitely set the color balance to whatever Kelvin you want to. Look up how to change it and you'll definitely figure it out!

[@alexiscuarezma]

It's a great camera, but when filming 4k, it overheats after 30min or say.

[@AndrewKnepper]

Hmm I haven't recorded 4k that much, so I haven't run into that issue, but that seems to be a common issue with many cameras especially Canon 🙄

[@andrewcrossley2448]

The Canon 22mm is small and pin sharp

[@AndrewKnepper]

One of my favs!

[@AndrewKnepper]

Definitely one of my favs!

[@kalayamwandingi9746]

I truly regret selling it, want it back...

[@AndrewKnepper]

You never know what you got till it's gone...

[@donnawetter1513]

I don't like the original charger, to bulky for travel, I just use my phones USB C charger.

[@AndrewKnepper]

Nice 👍
