    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

    Clearly, the best Canon M6 MII review on RUclips. 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  4 года назад

      @@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.

  • @mchlhth
    @mchlhth 4 года назад +19

    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.

    Great review. I think this is the camera that brings me back to APS-C from Micro Four Thirds. M43 is actually a great system. Sexy, even. 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.

    About the charger: It has to support the PD Spec.

    (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)

    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!

  • @johnhaynes9910
    @johnhaynes9910 4 года назад +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.

    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.

    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??? 🙄🙄🤔🤔

    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?

      I think your lenses would be fine on the M6 II. I'm not sure how many new EOS M products we can expect from Canon as they seem very focused on EOS R right now, but who knows?

    Great, very informative and "to the point" review. Watched almost all reviews about m6 mark ii on YT and this video is most professional in depth. Im still thinking to upgrade my m50 to m6m2 for 1080p120, uncropped 4k and higher mpix sensor for big prints.

    Hi Gordon. Thanks for another fantastic review! I currently have the M6i with the 22 and 32 and use it only for photography. The point is to have an ultra compact system that can take photos comparable to a much larger setup. Do you feel the mark ii is a meaningful upgrade specifically for stills?

    • @cameralabs
      @cameralabs  4 года назад +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.

    80D and m100 owner here - interesting thought for a mix of photos and videos for someone that travels a lot, and likes to pack very light: Do I supplement these two cameras with the new G7x Mark iii (for ultralight weight travel better than iPhone XR), or get the RP to displace the 80 for photos and youtube channel for the kids and keep the 80D as a backup? 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)...

    Thanks for the review. When you compared Canon vs Sony at 20:37 I noticed that Sony has much more pronounced sharpening artifacts (brighter lines around black objects), so an apparent increase in sharpness may be due to software sharpening.

    Very nice review indeed! But I would like to see a comparison between 90D and M6 Mark II in AF performance with telephoto attached lenses like 400mm F5.6 lens with 1.4x and 2x TC. All wildlife photographers are wondering how accurate the AF will perform in moving objects with TC in F8 and F11. Since the mirrorless technology should be much better at this point without the need for micro-adjustment as the DSLR's dose. That's why the mirrorless becomes so much popular. The only advantage of DSLR's is battery life and the live viewfinder. Thank you!
