    Clearly, the best Canon M6 MII review on CZcams. Well done Gordon. I wish they would update the M5 for photographers that want a light body and dont really care much for video. Focus Stacking, and built in Expanded HDR options would be welcomed. Unfortunately I see canon moving towards supporting the RF lens and R body more than the EOS-M system. Thanks for a great review.

      Yes. I still can’t believe that Canon is calling the M6m2 their flagship M system camera going forward. I can’t see them abandoning the M5 form factor. I’m really hoping that we’ll see a new M5 six months from now with IBIS and a higher res viewfinder. However, the cynic in me thinks Canon won’t choose an M system camera as the first body to showcase their new IBIS technology especially with a R successor in the works but I can only keep hoping . . .

    • @cameralabs
      @cameralabs  Před 4 lety

      @@doogieham it's hard to predict where Canon will go with this, but they are very invested in full-frame mirrorless and the RP isn't that much more than a high-end APSC model would be.

    I was initially going for the 90D, but the silent shutter, and the ability through a speedbooster to have two photographic opportunities with the same lens, made me determined for the M6 mark2. I previous had the M6 mark1, but sold it because of very noisy shutter and slow handling. This new model shows a new direction

    Another fine review, Gordon, thanks! My feeling is that Canon's intended market all along for the EOS M has been casual photographers and vloggers who rarely exchange the kit lens for anything else; the Rebel series of mirrorless, if you will. When there have been more bodies (10, by my count) than lenses (8) since the original EOS M -- and most of those lenses are variable aperture zooms (5) rather than primes (3) -- along with the fact that they seem to be all-in for making the EOS R series a competent system for high-end amateurs and professionals, one can't help but think Canon is once again thoroughly ensuring it's products do not overlap on features with one another.

    This is a great review. I just wish Canon would release a M5 mark ii. It seems a shame that currently we have to decide between the better screen design and integrated viewfinder of the M50, and the better shooting controls, sensors, and video options of the M6 mark ii. Why not put it all in one package and release it at the same time at a higher price? Canon should give us the option to have the best of both worlds!

But it takes an experienced photographer to get the best results. I'm a novice who needs the larger tried-and-true sensor size to get the results I want with a little less work and worry.

    @johnhaynes9910 Před 4 lety +9

    Good review as ever Gordon. I have the original M6 and welcome the improvements in the MkII however I will probably hold out until they produce an upgraded M50 because I find I use the clip on viewfinder rather a lot. On the question of more lenses of which I have 4 from the current catalogue, yes Canon should because whilst I have the adapter so that I can mount any of my EF lenses, the weight and size of those lenses rather defeats the whole point of a small ICL body for travel and casual use. But that said and with Canon likely focused (no pun intended) on expanding their R range of lenses, I think it will be a long time before we see anything from them on M lenses. The thing that has always fascinated me is the popularity of the M range particularly in Japan so it makes some sense for third parties like Sigma to take up the slack and produce native M series lenses at likely, premium prices because they might be shooting at an open goal here in terms of sales with no competition from Canon.

      I think canon m5 mark ii is already released with a new model name called Eos RP...so Canon is using M6 Mark ii as the flagship model in M series... It's also good to use Canon EF-M lenses for both esthetics and portability. If you really pursue very high quality images with mirrorless cameras, Canon R family will be your choice.

    I bought the M6mkii and alternate between it and my 7Dmkii with the canon 100-400mkii. I love the controls, and speed of the M6, but the lag of the EVF versus the optical causes me to miss shots. The M6 mkii is an awesome camera in a small package otherwise.

    About the charger: It has to support the PD Spec.
    So when buying a charger just look for PD and you're good to go!
    (PD is a technique where charger and device basically communicate what charging rates the device can handle. This prevents the 100w (or whatever wattage your macbook charger has) charger to blow up your cam's battery)

    Thank you, Gordon, for another excellent and open minded review of the m6-ii and comparing it to the 90d and xt30 and a6400!
    I am happy for the Canon fans for this. I am sure those who want to stay with canon will find these improvements significant.
    In my case, this model and any other canon has more limiitations than I want to. In fact, I would just feel frustrated if I had to compromise so much with Canon. I don't have that frustatration now I have switched to Sony. It's not a perfect camera, but most of the things I need Sony ticks it for me. There is always room for improvement in future releases, but at least, I know I get a better all around camera. After my a7-3, I am now aiming for the a6400 + the 70-350. That would complete my affordable sport/action camera and lens.
    But then again, for Canon users, the m6-ii is a big and worthy update.

    • @cameralabs
      @cameralabs  Před 4 lety +2

      If you shoot at low ISOs with those lenses then yes, you'll see more detail, plus have faster bursts. I'm not sure if it's enough to upgrade - you'll need to check my M50 vs M6 II sections on quality to see what you think.

I have 3 L lenses: 17-40 F4, 24-70 F4L IS, and 70-200 F2.8L II IS. Would love your thought here Gordon (considering the RP after this review and current $1000 US for the RP right now)...

    Excellent review Gordon. Lot of work went into this, so thanks for making. Had a play with the camera yesterday, feels great in the hand and great with the extra dials. Seriously thinking of changing my rx100m7 for this. The flip up screen good for vlogging as you dont get caught looking side ways like with the eos r screen 😁, i hang the wireless go on the side so hot shoe not an issue. I bought the rx100 to be portable, but although video is good, the camera side i find fiddly and unpredictable, and noisy in low light. Easier to use a phone in all honesty than take the rx100 out to restaurant for shots!!. The m6 is still very pocket-able and the image quality much nicer. A6400 claims better performance, but as an eos r shooter the m6ii ergonomics and touch screen feel so much more user friendly. But m6 ii or wait for the m5ii??? 🙄🙄🤔🤔

    For my M6II, I own the 22mm F2.0 and the 15-45mm and that's likely all i'll ever buy. Maybe if i was an old man and really wanted to pair down my system, but for now, I want my EF glass. Particularly; 35mm F14. II L.

    A great review. Good that you mention the lack of built-in EVF on the M6 II. To me, having to clip on that hideous-looking EVF on top of the camera takes it out of the running as an otherwise great camera for street photography.

    I think I’m in love with this camera, due to your review ! I have a M3 and then M6, when I realized I wanted to take pictures of flying birds (I use a adapted Nano USM 70-300).
    I also was missing a silent shutter in both cameras... but did you mention there is no burst possibility with it ?
    And can you tell me if it’s possible to change the exposure compensation with the function dial, by changing button layout ?

    Hey amazing video!!
    I currently have the 200d and wonder if I would regret the megapixels of the eos 6m mark ii with my current lenses:
    1. Canon 10 18mm EFS
    2. Sigma 30mm art 1.4 efs mount
    3. Canon macro 60mm EFS
    Do you think any of this lenses would not be able to cope with the higher megapixels?
    Regarding the Canon 6m mark ii would I be able to use it with off camera external flashes like yongnuo yn 560 iii with the yongnuo yn 560 tx controller on the hot shoe? Just manual flash no TTL option.
    Also how is the 1080p 120 fps video quality?
    I would be so hyped for a Canon eos m aps c line but with 120 fps af and IBIS. Will it ever happen you think in the aps c line?
    Thanks in advance

      I think there must be some third party adapters, but I haven't tried them, and you may find reduced focusing performance, so check reviews of them first. Also remember you need EF to EOS-M. NOT EF to EOS-R! PS - if you need to record two people talking, like an interview or podcast, go for the latest Wireless Go II, it's excellent!

    Thorough and objective review as we are used to from you Gordon - Good job. It seems like a very good effort by Canon, though I'm still not convinced how much future there is for Canons M system.
    One minor note, Gordon: Even though the shallow depth of field you use for the product shots gives super sweet and smooth bokeh, I must admit that I think the DoF might be a little too shallow - I find it slightly distracting that parts of the camera is out of focus. What are your thoughts behind using such shallow DoF?

    • @cameralabs

    Superb Review, The best by far. I guess 90D review is around the corner. I am planning to upgrade from 700D, the only problem is my most used lens is a Sigma 150-600 C and this body is simply too small (my 700D feels small too) so I am more interested in the 90D, however its disappointing that AF for BIF was not that great in the 90D as that would my primary use case. How bad was it ?

      Either would be very good. Using Sony for some time and Canon has better Ergonomics. But watch reviews and only you can choose. Its your money. I love Sony and lens selection is great, and does everything you can ask. But for some people its art/colors vs glass like sharpness. It's what your eyes enjoy. Amongst friends and family with new apple and samsung phones, they are blown away by quality of images from 16mp NexF3. So its what you personally enjoy.

      I would consider the Fujifilm X-T30 in there too. if you don't shoot video and or don't need a selfie screen, a lot of the choice boils down to which model actually looks and feels best in your hands, plus bonus influence if any of your firends have existing lenses you can borrow. I really like the images direct from the Fujifilms, so they'd be my choice of photos, but if I were vlogging, there are better options.
