Should I consider buying a Canon M6 Mark II now that it is discontinued. Perhaps, possibly, maybe.

- If you want a very high resolution sensor, great autofocus, fantastic touch screen and you are happy shooting prime lenses, then M6 Mark II is worth considering. The links below are related to the content of the video.

The Small Rig cage appears to be discontinued. You may be able to find one used. This cage looks fairly close:

I would!
I had 2 of them. My all time favorite camera! I enjoyed shooting with it so much. It was fun!!
The size and weight are great. So compact and light.
And the quality!! Superb
I ran into financial difficulties and had the sell them both. I'm usually not attached to material things, but I miss the M6 MK II so much
I would absolutely buy one, but all the M mount cameras from Canon sell used for much higher than their original retail price these days.
hoping Canon brings back the M camera line, but with an RF mount.
I am officially a new subscriber and I wanted to let you know I love that you have 50 years of experience and the way that you covered the m6 Mark II was amazing I have the three prime lenses by sigma and I've been a fan of the EOS m series but wanted to take better advantage of the glass. I recently ordered the m6 Mark II from b&h and your video was very informative which makes me feel a lot better about the purchase I made. I'm an amateur photographer but I love it and once again your video was so relatable and I really like the fact that you have the experience and yet you kept it simple and easy for people like me to understand. I look forward to your videos that you come up with in the future and I am definitely a subscriber now.
I am really glad you found it helpful. the m6 Mark II is a powerhouse camera in a small package for a great price. Enjoy!
I picked one up a few months back. I shoot on a Minolta CLE for my street photography so carrying a much larger digital mirrorless didn't make sense. What made sense was to use a couple of EF-M lenses and borrow a few rangefinding Leica M-mount. I really love this little setup and wish Canon had pursued it further some some higher quality lenses and weather sealing like the GFX MkIII. I suspect the market disruption for the pandemic undid any future plans they had.
I also wish this camera and some key lenses were weather sealed as I do shoot outdoors in adverse conditions.
You are a legend for putting this together!
This is an amazing system if you can find it used for a good price, photo and video have so much character.
Ignore the potential trolls in the comments, they never worked a hard honest day in their life.
Nicely produced video, thanks for sharing your opinion 👍🏽
You are very welcome.
I thank you for this info, I just bought one of them with the view finder and a 15-45mm lens for $850, and decided to grab a sigma 30mm for $160 dollars on eBay and I was kind of worry about the idea that it was discontinued, but thanks for the info I feel a little better now about this purchase. 😀
Still love this camera, and also pairs well as a webcam when necessary.
As a happy owner (I have 2 of them!) I can say that in my opinion it is 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!
Thanks for the info JB. I've been looking for a super compact good with prime lenses for discreet street photography, and I shoot canon in regular size and staying in a similar control ecosystem is super desirable. Sounds like this will fit the bill perfectly
Hope you like it.
honestly i really enjoyed this video, just ordered one and it should arrive in a few hours. i got the 22/28/32mm lens, will pick up the 11-22 and 56 later, but my main purpose for this camera is for photography, travel and candids and not video.
thanks for this video! it's still quite a powerhouse camera for photos
Hope you enjoy it!
Thanks for putting this together. I love mine, although I’ve probably invested too much in the M line and will probably live to regret it. I’ve got all the Sigmas, the 32, 22, and goofy macro with the built in light. I got it the M line because the full sized SLR and all the gear were killing my back!
This camera should sever you well for many years to come.
I use EF lenses on my M6 II. MPB has been a good place for used gear. I just got a view finder for $116 for those times I will need it outdoors. I have a Viltrox ef-efs to efm adapter and I have a viltrox ef to ef-m speedbooster. My Canon efs 24mm f/2.8 lens is the famous pancake. I have a Canon 50mm f/1.8 II lens. I have a Canon EF 75-300 f/4 to f/5.6 and a 2x teleconverter for moon pix. My favorite lens is my first gen Tamron VC 24-70 EF lens f/2.8. I am not upgrading. Good video.
I have both of the Viltrox adapters as well. They are a great value.
@@uncunvenchunalwisdomThey make for a lot of different aperture and focal length settings even with 4 basic lenses.
I bought mine new a few years ago. Personally, there is nothing the new Canon cameras offer that my M6 Mark II doesn’t already do, with the exception of 1 feature: I have a 30-minute recording limit on my M6 and the new cameras don’t have that limit. But, none of the new Canon cameras offer the massive 32.5MP sensor the M6 Mark II has. But, the new cameras are supported, whereas the EF-M system is dead.
I don't know as support is very important given the incredible market for used gear.
If you can get it very cheap, yeah. Canon stuff is expensive feature by feature comparing with other brands. I own a m3 and it will be my back up camera when my Sony a7iii comes in.
I love my m6. I wish there was a decent telephoto for it though.
You may want to get an ef-m adapter. The ef 70-200 f4 is an excellent lens and not too big.
The AF isn't that great for movement. Shutter is very loud, eletronic shutter produces artifacts at very fast speeds. But if you want a compact capable Canon there is nothing else.
the link you have in the description takes it to the SmallRig R6 Mark II Camera Cage for Canon not the M6 Mark 2
Looks like Small Rig has discontinued the cage for the M6 Mark II. The closest I can find is this www.ebay.com/itm/225815760611?itmmeta=01HS2RSKKSFJ10WBXP6MBGBDTV&hash=item3493ab0ee3:g:ecgAAOSwINJlKOg~&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA8J5zXt%2Bxja%2BCnK6stXC2BtrQ%2Bt6rPeQN1ZR2U0GpnfCbt4q7FGfXuMUUYx1%2FBnURWzVsGw6uyrmDjQ7K1y09wUiGN9sPbSlAICTIb0ulGauL1Dz5oypw03izp9c%2BB1gfK7cbe7oSEyddW018d3h5Qx5v5s9ze4h6dYcGhOHtkcTmpueuAwHj5ci%2FmZlqRcJBxmFxSVgd5ibZpLygI5KjQOC%2FLTtt1hLqQNcBhOrTQVsrO5y9s0wODewMU3pBafV90WKxixgKSO34%2BnJa%2FVbW7TkfpnNoJJ%2FjRZhLXDlxruJ9ZmcYd4OncKqstscpDPrrSQ%3D%3D%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR_655tjIYw
Thanks for the heads up. I will have to modify my videos accordingly.
Had several Sigmas and Viltroxes. Sigmas always disappointed me. Sold them all.
I speed boost the Canon 100mm F2.8 L IS macro lens and the images are immaculate. I also have the 32mm EF-M mount 1.4 and, frankly it’s a tossup between the two in terms of image quality. The M6 MK ii is a gem with a good speed booster.
Best camera, i got for 500$. Beast camera. High megapixel, uncrop 4k video. just amazing. I make a video from my trip use M6 mark ii and 7artisan lens. All in my channel.
I liked the Hanoi piece. I will look at the rest tomorrow. I subscribed to your channel.
@@uncunvenchunalwisdom thankyou, sub you too.
The m mount is dead
And he Sid that, gatekeeper
Certainly discontinued. The used market will likely be very active for years to come, especially as prices come down as they have with the Sigma lenses.
And so? There are many old mounts that are "dead". But you can still buy them on ebay etc. How many lenses do you need? Are you a lens collector?
I got a FD 135mm f/2.8 a couple days ago. I adapted it my dead M6II.
@@tonykeltsflorida I half seven fd lenses but prefer to use them on the fd-mount bodies I’ve been using since 1981-1984
Canon just keep screwing the consumer base over and over again
Prices in the used market seem quite high. Perhaps it is time sell your stuff and move to another brand?
People take pot shots at Micro 4/3, but it is still my favorite digital platform. Two companies support it and have four years as well as tons of aftermarket vendors. The sensor size is not an issue for me at all.
