I am quite happy with the canon m6 mark ii. I was doubting between this and the 90d, but im actually very impressed with the power of this little camera and the result of my videos. Size was a deciding factor for me.
Thank you for your thorough review! I bought an M50 in December, but just bought the M6 Mk II here in March to overcome some of those limitations. This video helped me understand the pros and cons and make a confident buying decision.
@@PHILGOODOK1 I prefer the M6MkII. It has a higher resolution sensor and additional features, but that comes with its higher price. However, photos with the M50 are still great, and I wouldn't hesitate to grab either camera for photos.
I would like to see a more in-depth video about lenses, adapters, and the speed boosters. I think this would really help when choosing a lense for certain camera. Great video!
@@nickjonas2732 as long as it puts out enough power. I have a cigarette lighter plug that works, an 18w portable battery that works and my laptop too. All USB c. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to charge while operating so really extended shoots require a dummy battery adapter.
I bought the M6 Mk11 at launch and love it. Also worth noting the FV mode, which gives great flexibility, easily switching between manual, aperture and shutter speed modes. Great little camera.
First quarter of 2023 and I just bought a Canon refurb M6 MkII. I still use an original M6 when I want to travel light. Liking the MkII for what it is.... very capable and some nice upgrades from the M6.
@@TechGearTalk that speedbooster says it adapts ef lenses to ef-m mounts. Might be a stupid question but how does that work? The M6 is ef-m and the sigma lens is ef-m. Do you see my confusion or am i missing something obvious?
My M6 MkII is coming today (I hope). I have watched many reviews, and "how to's" and yours is the best I have seen. I can't wait to get my hands on my first Canon since the 20D from many years ago. I have been shooting with Nikon's for years. Now I want to try mirrorless for the first time. Thanks for the review!
When using the M series cameras, I use them exclusively with EFS and full frame glass plus with the advent of speed-boosters (I have the Viltrox) this gives me excellent flexibility in getting the most out of my lenses. The M6II sounds like a no brainier addition to my beloved M5. I even have the EVF from my old M3 that I can use with it thus saving the 200 dollars. 😄🙏🏾
Yes, for the best quality I use my L series glass with a speedbooster or an adapter. I like the 32mm f/1.4 ef-m and the 22m f/2 ef-m lenses as well. Nice that you have the EVF already!!
Thank you for the review, I decided to get the M6 mk II recently. Really loving the M6 especially the extra dial at the top which I find extremely useful. Next stop is to get the sigma primes you have also reviewed. =)
It’s such a huge step above my M50 I’m seriously considering it. I’d love to have 4K60 even if just for a minute or two so I can have slow mo in 4K, but oh well.
Hi. I’ve used both and I like the ergonomics on the mkii better. It’s bigger and more comfortable to hold. The grip is better. I hope that helps. Welcome to the channel.
I love my Canon eosr but just recently I brought this m6 mkii for vlogging mainly but now I have used it it is also a fantastic photography camera too, for a camera less than 1k I think it is a bargain of the century. I recommend getting the 16mm f 1.4 if you vlog as I do, it is an awesome combo.
@@hanoitripper1809 I did get the M50 and am happy with it. Don't really care about the 4k right now and the articulated screen on the M50 ...well I like it!
I have several questions regarding the M6. I was super on the fence between the 90D and the M6 MkII and your video comparison between the two really sold me on the M6 for one main reason. The Speedbooster adapter. My main use case will be up close 4k video indoors where space is a concern and the sensor's default crop factor would be a huge pain due to lack of maneuverability. The adapter seems to solve this somewhat and seems to have the added benefit of allowing a lower F stop which to me seems like its worth $$$$ just for that fact alone. My questions are though: 1. Does the adapter interfere with the built in Image stabilization, OR the any of the EF lens IS? 2. Have they addressed the audio levels issue where you could not adjust levels during recording? If so an external recorder might unfortunately make more sense? 3. How does it perform in low light. I saw a 4k video test of the 90D in low light at around 6k ISO and it had very little noise. The walkthrough in your video of the hotel looked fairly noisy but without knowing other parts of your setup its hard to blame it entirely on the camera. Would the Speedbooster with a fast lens improve noise at low light? Thanks for your super thorough review :)
This video helped me a ton when I decided to buy the M6 Mark II. :) The video capabilities may not be as impressive as on Sony Alphas, but as you said, the ergonomics and the mobile app are excellent. Thanks a lot for the video!
Dear, sir, I wish to thank you for this very extensive and well-done review of this Canon M6MII that I am about to purchase! I am happy to find your channel and giving you both thumbs up and now also you got a new subscriber! Wishing you all the very best and stay blessed, safe, and healthy! Best regards from Sweden!
Great review as usual, Sagi. Informative and all bases covered. The EF-M range of lenses now is half-decent so switching to a Canon mirrorless is certainly more tempting. I'll stick with my 200D and lenses....for now. :-)
Thank you Karl. Yes, that 32 f/1.4 is awesome and love that Sigma is getting in the game. Means other 3rd parties are next! Appreciate your insights as always.
The main thing holding me back is the view finder...I've read from some that since it's not built in, there can be a delay from taking a photo to the point of viewing in on the screen. Thoughts Love your reviews by the way
I'd consider it over the M50 MKII except for the flip-up screen vs. the articulating screen. Screen would get obstructed if mounting a mic or any other accessory on the hot shoe.
I discovered your reviews as I was considering buying a new Canon camera as I already have a collection of EF and EF-S lenses and know their ecosystem well. You are by far the most thorough reviewer of cameras I have found. In fact, and I mean this in a great way, your reviews/comparisons are so good that I can see all the upsides and downsides of each camera on my short-list so well that am still trying to decide lest I miss a great point you made.
Oh wow, thank you so much Matt. I appreciate you taking the time to leave feedback - I’m very glad the videos are helpful. I do try to provide an objective perspective - the good and the bad. Let me know if I can help in any way.
@@TechGearTalk Thank you so much. I am basically stuck between an SL3, 90D and This M6 Mark II. Money is a point of consideration otherwise the the SL3 wouldn't be on the list, but its not the most important factor in my decision either. I want a good image, but also good video since I would use it for both equally. I am not a professional by any means, but I would also say I am a tier above a hobbyist. Again thank you for your review work.
Hi. I would probably get the M6 MK II because it's priced lower than the 90D and provides equal image quality. You'll give up on some of the things I talk about here: ruclips.net/video/rg1dqcjDpSo/видео.html (weather sealing, optical viewfinder, etc.) but it depends on whether you'll actually need them. Hope this was helpful.
Unless you're in the US. But you can look at it this way: Instead of charging every person for a viewfinder they may not use, Canon is only charging the people who need it - just a thought.
A superb review. Thank you. I bought the M6 and your excellent video here was really helpful in helping me to decide. I keep coming back to this video to understand more of the possibilities for and specifications of the camera.
Excellent review there, I have been watching your videos off late , very crisp and clear and I'm addicted now, I would like to know as its almost 2yrs since M6MKII has been launched, will there be a MKIII launched soon, should I wait or just pick the MKII?
For a beginner,, which would u recommend? Sony ZV 1 or the Canon M6 mark 2 or A6400? I’m a hairdresser and mainly I want to use the camera to shoot haircutting videos.. Thanks 🙏
HI!! thank you for your video. I have the first M6 and because of your video review I went for it, that and the $330 price tag!! yes, when the M6II went out the M6 got a lot cheaper and the extra feautures were not that important for me since I have a D7500 Nikon, and I wanted a more "pocket size" but ended up with this, even do it is not any pocket size, but being able to change lenses gives me the idea of taking this much smaller body and be more happy than with my phone. Thanks!! I know a good purchase (buying the old model)
I have a SL2 and M50. I just sold the SL2 and will be purchasing the M6 for a new primary camera. I recently shot several channel videos in 4k on the m50 and I am In love with the 4k quality and flexibility to edit in 1080 and reframe in post like a 3rd camera. The DP-AF will be awesome on the M6 for me as I already have an adapter and a speed booster. Great video... Another Ohio RUclipsr! 👍🍻
You will LOVE the upgrade. Coming form the M50 where you have already figured out your lens selection (inc. adapter and speedbooster). You're going to pick this camera up and immediately smile. Like you said, the DPAF in 4K is a game-changer, and I just love NOT having to worry about AF at all (there's plenty of other stuff to pay attention to). Thank you for the kind words and I can't wait to hear what you think when you get it. O-H!
Bought two for a professional gig I have in a week. I own the 77d, 70d, and m50 and thought I would like to have the chance of cropping the 4k and not worrying about focus or much noise with a 1 inch snake from a camcorder. I am happy with the videos I saw online and decided it was time to update my cameras and sell my old gear. I also got a lot of lp17 batteries. So I'm set!
HI Great vdeo many thanks. I'm looking at purchasing the Canon M6 for Video but I'm also pulled by The Panasonic Lumix G5 though it looks slightly complicated for a novice user. Heading towards the Canon but not sure if the Video quality will be as good as the panasonic?
Great I really love this camera I agree on what you pointed out on pros and cons, bought this camera after watching some reviews and this is the one of the videos that pushed me to buy this camera over other competition. I also made an unboxing on m6 mark ii and its great! Btw. 24p is now available! Thank you for great review!
Hi! Thanks for the videos. Now, I’m struggling with Canon EOS M6 Mark II and Canon EOS M50 Mark II. Which one is the best choice? I’m the new comer to this camera world. Never thought myself would like to own some :) Appreciated if you can help me out here. My worries is more to the newest and oldest launched. Does this factor really matter in your opinion?
Hey Sagi. Totally loved the review. As usual an outstanding, unbiased opinion on the M6 mkii functionality. I loved the stills and video shots and I like the Mexico scenes. Super quality. I see some of your crane M2 work too. It's a real shame canon didnt include the fully articulating screen we both like. In my opinion, this would have put the icing on the cake. The frame rate and 4K improvements provide good advantage over the M50, but it's still my camera choice based on the screen flexibility and price point. Take care Sagi. Keep smashing it..
Appreciate it Ray! Good eye there! If I had an M50 as my only camera I would look at it this way: if I want/need 4k or clean hdmi out, I would upgrade, otherwise, nope. Yeah, that screen would have been great. I'm getting the most out of this one though.
@@TechGearTalk Yeah. i get you. The reason why Canon have missed a trick here is the sales to vloggers. You are not going to use a 90D or large DSLR for vlogging. they're just too big for that. Even though the M6 mkii is slightly bigger as you've shown, it could still be the mirrorless vlog camera of choice for those who want 4K, a larger APSC sensor and the articulating screen. Now the screen is only flip up and not articulating this gives problems for external audio on top of the camera. If they had added that, then vloggers would have made the jump to the M6 i believe even given near the doubling of cost.
Good point. There will soon be brackets that take care of that. Not sure if you saw my live show on the M6 where I show how I get around the audio issue with the Rode wireless go
Will it be suitable for a amateur I’m interested in taking wildlife photographs and photographs in the snow. Will it have a suitable scene selection I can chose?
Great and informative review, Thank You so much... How will the EF-M 32mm f:1,4 perform with the speedbooster in IQ and vignette issues and other lens situations? Or is the Speedbooster only for EF and EF-S lenses?
I have a Canon EOS M6 and I am thinking it's time for an upgrade. I am considering the M6 II and the Fuji X-S10. I like the Canons specially considering that I have several good EF/EF-S/FD and even some OM lenses all of which I use with corresponding adaptors but I am tempted to jump ship to Fuji for its IQ, film simulations, impressive video specs and IBIS which would allow me to use all of my "vintage" manual lenses. Today I tried the Manual FD 50mm 1.4 on my M6 and noticed that the Digital IS is not available in manual mode... so my question is to verify that the M6 II does not have this limitation, i.e. that its digital IS works in all focus modes. All feedback greatly appreciated. Thanks. Cheers!
Its a solid content creator camera for youtube and social media, an easy go-to camera with very minor post editing. Not the best and not the worst it just gets the job done! I find Fuji to be better for client and artistic projects. And canon for more realistic shots
Hi, the Canon M6 MKII has been discontinued, but what is its successor as a small vlog camera and is it still worth buying it new or used if I can find one? I currently have a Canon M50, so I already have the required glass. Thanks a lot for your feedback.
I really like your videos explaining the devices. Would it be possible to make a video showing the M6 mk2 as a webcam with e.g. 32mm lens? To show what works and what does not with this camera, what are the challenges, e.g. with clean HDMI mode (with e.g. Elgato capture card) - this would be great to learn how this camera performs in this mode and how the end produce does look like. It would be very much appreciated.
awesome review! Curious, but have you tested long exposures with this Mk II at all? I have a Mk I M6 and it was stuck in Busy Mode for almost as long as the shutter speed so it made it a little difficult to do time lapses. have you experienced shorter processing times with this new Mk II?
Thank you. Your video was extremely helpful, the detail provided was very useful. I am leaning toward purchasing the M6 Mark II instead of the 90D. On the mirrorless, I have heard there have been issues with dust entering the sensor. Does the M6 Mark II have a front curtain shutter? Also, have you experienced issues with dust or even moisture? Thanks for your help.
I like that the EVF is optional, so I don't have to purchase it. It would be cool to have it as an option though. I rarely use a view finder. I prefer to use the touch screen to compose my shots. Great review. Thanks.
I'm sorry ...newbie here, how important is is the View Finder and when will Canon upgrade the 24 f/s in both 4k and 1080p, how good is the image stabilisation for outdoor vlogging, please help
This videos details sold me thank you Sagi. Question I'm this price range, anything else you would recommend for a live streaming workhorse. I'd like to have a 3 camera setup. Thank you for your time
For picture quality and video which one do you think is better ? Canon eos RP or M6 mark ii ? I mainly take family photos and videos but want excellent photos...Thanks
You'll get excellent photos and video with both. If it were me, I would take the M6 MK II. It's smaller, more portable and I'm more likely to have it with me.
Great video! I don't know a great deal about cameras but you explained it really well! I've had my eye on this camera since it came out and am definitely getting one soon 😊
Hi i want to buy my first camera for youtube and pictures of my kids, which do you recommend between sony zv1 vs m6 MK2; i probably wont be buying any additional lens but I want high quality photos mostly and also good video. Thank you
Hi.. as always very informative videos. I just want to ask if you will recommend this m6markii over eos rp for event shooting.. i only have limited amount of budget.. thank you.
Specs only: m6mkii (easily). Value: depends on what you need. The added specs don't add value if you don't use them. Watch this: ruclips.net/video/gVg0f7Z5-Qk/видео.html
Amazingly in-depth review! Thank you! I’m looking at purchasing this as my first ever non-point-and-shoot camera, for use both to Vlog, as well as to learn photography. I’m going to check out some of your other videos now. I’m really interested in the speed booster you mentioned, while using the 11-22 lens. Thanks again and keep it up!
So glad you found the video helpful John. One thing, the Speed Booster is only available for lenses designed for DSLRs - so the 11-22 will not work. I need to create a video about that. Welcome to the channel!
Oh wow, thanks for the tip! Is there a speed booster that will work with the EF-M lenses? It seemed so when I was searching but this is all new to me. I appreciate the advice! I’ll go watch more of your videos. ;)
Glad I could help. No, there is no speedbooster that would work with EF-M lenses because of how it operates - it's not possible. Let me know if you have questions
Quick question. My display screen use to be on while using HDMI. Now I can view on display screen when HDMI connected. Did I accidentally change a setting?
⭐️ Buy the Canon M6MKII: geni.us/XHsya3 (affiliate) ⭐️ Canon M6MKII + 15 - 45mm: geni.us/fw8j (affiliate) ⭐️ Canon M6MKII + 18 - 150mm: geni.us/kcV46fa (affiliate) NOTE: Burst shooting is at 14fps not 24fps (I was so focused on frame rates that I misspoke). Thank you @Chris Berlin for noticing! What's up everyone?! I hope this review of the Canon M6MKII was helpful. Did you like it? I think this camera may have taken over as my favorite entry-level mirrorless camera from Canon.The image quality is excellent, the dual pixel autofocus is fantastic and although I wish there was a fully articulating screen, the user experience is still great with the frip touchscreen. Was there too much detail? Not enough? What did you like, and also, what did you not like? What would you like to see more of? Would love to know what you think, good or bad. I am grateful in advance 🙏
Nice, Photos are really cool. But what about video? I am not sure that the record videos in your video on this Canon is something speciall. I am sorry about it. What do you think about recording videos on this? The preview looks little bad. And WHAT is better for videos? CANON M6 MARK II or SONY A6400? Rly thanks for answer. Thx
Is that the Secrets Akumal? I know I'm late, but I want to purchase the M6. people keep telling me to wait for the RF version, that the M series will go away. What do you think?
Great review, appreciate the thoroughness of bridging the gap between tech and laymen. Can you recommend the best lenses to consider for filming/shooting softball games?
Glad you enjoyed the video. The answer depends on how you meant the question. If you truly want the best then we're looking at lenses that cost several thousand dollars - but unless you're getting paid for theme photos, you don't need those. If you're just doing this for fun, then you can take a look at the 55-200 as it will give you the most zoom in the ef-m line up (for now). Check out this video: ruclips.net/video/2J4C_RDEg5Y/видео.html If you need even more zoom, then you can look at a Canon 70-300 (it's affordable but is an EF-S lens so it will require an adapter). Hope this helps. Thanks for being part of the channel!
Hey, great videos but you probably need to update these videos as we know for a fact that Canon is phasing out the M series. The M6 MKII is already discontinued and obviously, we are not going to get any more EF-M lenses. I heard they might drag out the M50 MKII. I was torn between the M50 MII and M6 MKII, and thankfully decided to visit a Canon Store nearby. That's when I learnt about this. After a lot of research and considering my budget, I went with the Nikon Z50 because of the kit zoom lens. I know a lot of people complain about that lens, but I will upgrade when I reach that level. For now, I am extremely happy. ps: I am pasting this comment on a few more videos I watched so that it can help others too. Not attempting to spam or anything.
So glad I found and have now subscribed to your channel. I just bought this little camera and threw on an old 85 1.8 to shoot in some low light school gyms for plays and such. Am I missing something where the e-shutter only works in single-shot mode? If so I hope that will be a firmware upgrade. Otherwise, your review is spot on. I really hope you find the time to explain and talk about speed boosters. (What was the brand you mentioned?)
I really appreciate you taking the time to watch and for the kind words. Thank you for joining the community 🙏 They added a warning "fast-moving subjects may look distorted. Cannot be used with contin. shooter/flash photography. I just tested, and you're not missing anything. As far as the speedbooster, I just added a link to it in the description (thank you). It's from Commlite.
Great video! Thank you, for making such valuable content for us! Do you think it's worth getting this camera if you're not planning to shoot in 4k? I plan to use it for youtube. For sit down videos, vlogs, and photos. I was looking at the M50 ..but I really want something that will last me for at least a few years... I have saved some money and I can afford it, but still, I don't know what to do...
Hi Paulina - if you want 4K, this is the way to go, definitely skip the M50. If you want 1080p, the M50 is still a good option but not for 4k. You'll have no crop, plus dual pixel auto focus with the M6 MKII - you'll love it.
Another amazing review - you did not mention the lack of the EVF and the implication of losing the hotshoe for the EVF making external flash usage impossible....
@@TechGearTalk That is precisely why I have written to Father Xmas and askedhim to make me an M50 (or M5) with the internals of the M6II!!! Can't wait for M50 MkII (seeing as Canon has stated that the M6II is a combination of M5 and M6)... Keep up the great work - you deserve many more subscribers. From a big fan in Cyprus
That's absolutely true @FuzzyDuck - I think (I could be wrong) that Alexis was saying specifically that if you get an EVF, you lose the hotshoe and can't use a flash. Is that right Alexis?
This was honestly the most indepth M6 MkII review I've seen. It's a great camera

I’m going to get 💃🏻🔥 thank you
this sounds like a great canera, I had the M6, how would you compare it to the M6II in terms of ergonomics? I know the rest is better...
Hi. I’ve used both and I like the ergonomics on the mkii better. It’s bigger and more comfortable to hold. The grip is better. I hope that helps. Welcome to the channel.
I love my Canon eosr but just recently I brought this m6 mkii for vlogging mainly but now I have used it it is also a fantastic photography camera too, for a camera less than 1k I think it is a bargain of the century. I recommend getting the 16mm f 1.4 if you vlog as I do, it is an awesome combo.
Appreciate your first-hand knowledge! Yes, that 16mm 1.4 is great.
Hmmm, was really looking at the M50...tthis one is nice but no articulated screen! Very good information you offer!
Glad the video is helpful! I still ended up using this over the M50. But only if I wanted 4k
What did you get? I also was set on the M50 but now im not sure!
@@hanoitripper1809 I did get the M50 and am happy with it. Don't really care about the 4k right now and the articulated screen on the M50 ...well I like it!
I have several questions regarding the M6. I was super on the fence between the 90D and the M6 MkII and your video comparison between the two really sold me on the M6 for one main reason. The Speedbooster adapter. My main use case will be up close 4k video indoors where space is a concern and the sensor's default crop factor would be a huge pain due to lack of maneuverability. The adapter seems to solve this somewhat and seems to have the added benefit of allowing a lower F stop which to me seems like its worth $$$$ just for that fact alone.
My questions are though:
1. Does the adapter interfere with the built in Image stabilization, OR the any of the EF lens IS?
2. Have they addressed the audio levels issue where you could not adjust levels during recording? If so an external recorder might unfortunately make more sense?
3. How does it perform in low light. I saw a 4k video test of the 90D in low light at around 6k ISO and it had very little noise. The walkthrough in your video of the hotel looked fairly noisy but without knowing other parts of your setup its hard to blame it entirely on the camera. Would the Speedbooster with a fast lens improve noise at low light?
Thanks for your super thorough review :)
This video helped me a ton when I decided to buy the M6 Mark II. :) The video capabilities may not be as impressive as on Sony Alphas, but as you said, the ergonomics and the mobile app are excellent. Thanks a lot for the video!
I'm super glad it was helpful Tony! Thank you for the kind words and for being part of the community 🙏 Enjoy your M6II!!!
Dear, sir, I wish to thank you for this very extensive and well-done review of this Canon M6MII that I am about to purchase! I am happy to find your channel and giving you both thumbs up and now also you got a new subscriber! Wishing you all the very best and stay blessed, safe, and healthy! Best regards from Sweden!
Great review now I am going to buy the M6 over the M50 👌🏽👏🏽
Glad I could help! Enjoy it and Thanks for being part of the channel!
Tech Gear Talk Wow thanks for the time you take to respond, thats golden 🙌🏽
Thanks for this! Perfect explanation.
Glad you liked it Matt! This is an awesome camera!
canon m6 mark ii vs sony a6600 which better?
The a6600 is more powerful
Hi Can you please compare M6 MK2 and Sony A6x series with Fuji Xt200?
Great review as usual, Sagi. Informative and all bases covered. The EF-M range of lenses now is half-decent so switching to a Canon mirrorless is certainly more tempting. I'll stick with my 200D and lenses....for now. :-)
Thank you Karl. Yes, that 32 f/1.4 is awesome and love that Sigma is getting in the game. Means other 3rd parties are next!
Appreciate your insights as always.
The main thing holding me back is the view finder...I've read from some that since it's not built in, there can be a delay from taking a photo to the point of viewing in on the screen. Thoughts
Love your reviews by the way
21:49 Wow, you live in the future!
What do you mean?
You said m6 mark 3 😅
@@husainali1408 - Great Attention to detail!
I'd consider it over the M50 MKII except for the flip-up screen vs. the articulating screen. Screen would get obstructed if mounting a mic or any other accessory on the hot shoe.
Why can’t they just keep the design of the m50
different lines. We'll have an m50 mk ii ruclips.net/video/C8q_dxRvYNo/видео.html
I discovered your reviews as I was considering buying a new Canon camera as I already have a collection of EF and EF-S lenses and know their ecosystem well. You are by far the most thorough reviewer of cameras I have found.
In fact, and I mean this in a great way, your reviews/comparisons are so good that I can see all the upsides and downsides of each camera on my short-list so well that am still trying to decide lest I miss a great point you made.
Oh wow, thank you so much Matt. I appreciate you taking the time to leave feedback - I’m very glad the videos are helpful.
I do try to provide an objective perspective - the good and the bad.
Let me know if I can help in any way.
@@TechGearTalk Thank you so much. I am basically stuck between an SL3, 90D and This M6 Mark II. Money is a point of consideration otherwise the the SL3 wouldn't be on the list, but its not the most important factor in my decision either. I want a good image, but also good video since I would use it for both equally. I am not a professional by any means, but I would also say I am a tier above a hobbyist.
Again thank you for your review work.
Hi. I would probably get the M6 MK II because it's priced lower than the 90D and provides equal image quality. You'll give up on some of the things I talk about here: ruclips.net/video/rg1dqcjDpSo/видео.html (weather sealing, optical viewfinder, etc.) but it depends on whether you'll actually need them. Hope this was helpful.
Tech Gear Talk thank you so much!
Glad I could help! 👍
Lack of EVF included takes it to another level of price range too.... Not a fan of Canon doing that
Unless you're in the US. But you can look at it this way: Instead of charging every person for a viewfinder they may not use, Canon is only charging the people who need it - just a thought.
I bought a kit and have the EVF for free as said in the vid (in France). Very happy with this little thing...
@luthval - glad you like it!
Thanks for your huge effort spent to build this amazing review for us all!
A superb review. Thank you. I bought the M6 and your excellent video here was really helpful in helping me to decide. I keep coming back to this video to understand more of the possibilities for and specifications of the camera.
So glad it's helpful. I used an M6mkii shooting today's video!
This video was perfection, i'm grabbing this baby in the next few weeks for my youtube !!
Would you use an M50, M6 Markii, or an R for product photography? Thanks
Hi sir, for wildlife which one is good, Canon 90D, M6 II and Sony a6400, out these 3 camera which one is good for wildlife.
Excellent review there, I have been watching your videos off late , very crisp and clear and I'm addicted now, I would like to know as its almost 2yrs since M6MKII has been launched, will there be a MKIII launched soon, should I wait or just pick the MKII?
For a beginner,, which would u recommend? Sony ZV 1 or the Canon M6 mark 2 or A6400?
I’m a hairdresser and mainly I want to use the camera to shoot haircutting videos.. Thanks 🙏
HI!! thank you for your video. I have the first M6 and because of your video review I went for it, that and the $330 price tag!! yes, when the M6II went out the M6 got a lot cheaper and the extra feautures were not that important for me since I have a D7500 Nikon, and I wanted a more "pocket size" but ended up with this, even do it is not any pocket size, but being able to change lenses gives me the idea of taking this much smaller body and be more happy than with my phone. Thanks!! I know a good purchase (buying the old model)
I'm so glad the videos have bee helpful! CONGRATS on the new camera 👊
I have a SL2 and M50. I just sold the SL2 and will be purchasing the M6 for a new primary camera. I recently shot several channel videos in 4k on the m50 and I am In love with the 4k quality and flexibility to edit in 1080 and reframe in post like a 3rd camera. The DP-AF will be awesome on the M6 for me as I already have an adapter and a speed booster. Great video... Another Ohio RUclipsr! 👍🍻
You will LOVE the upgrade. Coming form the M50 where you have already figured out your lens selection (inc. adapter and speedbooster). You're going to pick this camera up and immediately smile. Like you said, the DPAF in 4K is a game-changer, and I just love NOT having to worry about AF at all (there's plenty of other stuff to pay attention to).
Thank you for the kind words and I can't wait to hear what you think when you get it.
O-H!
@@TechGearTalk I-O!!
👊
Bought two for a professional gig I have in a week. I own the 77d, 70d, and m50 and thought I would like to have the chance of cropping the 4k and not worrying about focus or much noise with a 1 inch snake from a camcorder. I am happy with the videos I saw online and decided it was time to update my cameras and sell my old gear. I also got a lot of lp17 batteries. So I'm set!
Congrats! It’s a great camera 💪🏻
Why the video footage of the m6 looked a bit bad and like a smartphone camera ?
HI Great vdeo many thanks. I'm looking at purchasing the Canon M6 for Video but I'm also pulled by The Panasonic Lumix G5 though it looks slightly complicated for a novice user. Heading towards the Canon but not sure if the Video quality will be as good as the panasonic?
Great I really love this camera I agree on what you pointed out on pros and cons, bought this camera after watching some reviews and this is the one of the videos that pushed me to buy this camera over other competition. I also made an unboxing on m6 mark ii and its great! Btw. 24p is now available! Thank you for great review!
Congrats my friend.
Hi! Thanks for the videos. Now, I’m struggling with Canon EOS M6 Mark II and Canon EOS M50 Mark II. Which one is the best choice? I’m the new comer to this camera world. Never thought myself would like to own some :) Appreciated if you can help me out here. My worries is more to the newest and oldest launched. Does this factor really matter in your opinion?
Hey Sagi. Totally loved the review. As usual an outstanding, unbiased opinion on the M6 mkii functionality. I loved the stills and video shots and I like the Mexico scenes. Super quality. I see some of your crane M2 work too.
It's a real shame canon didnt include the fully articulating screen we both like. In my opinion, this would have put the icing on the cake. The frame rate and 4K improvements provide good advantage over the M50, but it's still my camera choice based on the screen flexibility and price point. Take care Sagi. Keep smashing it..
Appreciate it Ray! Good eye there!
If I had an M50 as my only camera I would look at it this way: if I want/need 4k or clean hdmi out, I would upgrade, otherwise, nope.
Yeah, that screen would have been great. I'm getting the most out of this one though.
@@TechGearTalk Yeah. i get you. The reason why Canon have missed a trick here is the sales to vloggers. You are not going to use a 90D or large DSLR for vlogging. they're just too big for that. Even though the M6 mkii is slightly bigger as you've shown, it could still be the mirrorless vlog camera of choice for those who want 4K, a larger APSC sensor and the articulating screen. Now the screen is only flip up and not articulating this gives problems for external audio on top of the camera. If they had added that, then vloggers would have made the jump to the M6 i believe even given near the doubling of cost.
Good point. There will soon be brackets that take care of that. Not sure if you saw my live show on the M6 where I show how I get around the audio issue with the Rode wireless go
Thanks for a grerat review! Which gimbal did you use on 5:33, it looks good! Im thinking about getting M6 MKII for video work :-)
Thank you very much for sharing this excellent video! I was wondering should I update my M6? I usually use M6 to shoot?
Will it be suitable for a amateur I’m interested in taking wildlife photographs and photographs in the snow. Will it have a suitable scene selection I can chose?
fantastic vid with excellent resources! you sold me on this cam and a cpl accessories! My go-to channel!
Great and informative review, Thank You so much... How will the EF-M 32mm f:1,4 perform with the speedbooster in IQ and vignette issues and other lens situations? Or is the Speedbooster only for EF and EF-S lenses?
I have a Canon EOS M6 and I am thinking it's time for an upgrade. I am considering the M6 II and the Fuji X-S10. I like the Canons specially considering that I have several good EF/EF-S/FD and even some OM lenses all of which I use with corresponding adaptors but I am tempted to jump ship to Fuji for its IQ, film simulations, impressive video specs and IBIS which would allow me to use all of my "vintage" manual lenses. Today I tried the Manual FD 50mm 1.4 on my M6 and noticed that the Digital IS is not available in manual mode... so my question is to verify that the M6 II does not have this limitation, i.e. that its digital IS works in all focus modes. All feedback greatly appreciated. Thanks. Cheers!
New to the channel, great vid! How was your video footage so stabilised? Any accessory you used?
Hi Joe, and welcome! I was using a zhiyun M2 for many of those shots
Your videos are easy to watch and easy to understand. Great content !
Its a solid content creator camera for youtube and social media, an easy go-to camera with very minor post editing. Not the best and not the worst it just gets the job done! I find Fuji to be better for client and artistic projects. And canon for more realistic shots
Appreciate you watching and sharing your perspective - you're definitely contributing to this community and I'm grateful.
I love ur honest review sir... It's good for short film making??
Hi, the Canon M6 MKII has been discontinued, but what is its successor as a small vlog camera and is it still worth buying it new or used if I can find one? I currently have a Canon M50, so I already have the required glass. Thanks a lot for your feedback.
Which is better ? Canon M6 ii or Sony a6400 ? Thank you in advance 💕
I really like your videos explaining the devices. Would it be possible to make a video showing the M6 mk2 as a webcam with e.g. 32mm lens? To show what works and what does not with this camera, what are the challenges, e.g. with clean HDMI mode (with e.g. Elgato capture card) - this would be great to learn how this camera performs in this mode and how the end produce does look like.
It would be very much appreciated.
Nice video! I noticed that you are using Zhiyun M2 gimbal, would you recommend this gimbal for this camera?
Would you reccomrnd this cameras for a beginner ?
awesome review! Curious, but have you tested long exposures with this Mk II at all? I have a Mk I M6 and it was stuck in Busy Mode for almost as long as the shutter speed so it made it a little difficult to do time lapses. have you experienced shorter processing times with this new Mk II?
Thank you. Your video was extremely helpful, the detail provided was very useful. I am leaning toward purchasing the M6 Mark II instead of the 90D. On the mirrorless, I have heard there have been issues with dust entering the sensor. Does the M6 Mark II have a front curtain shutter? Also, have you experienced issues with dust or even moisture? Thanks for your help.
I like that the EVF is optional, so I don't have to purchase it. It would be cool to have it as an option though. I rarely use a view finder. I prefer to use the touch screen to compose my shots. Great review. Thanks.
I really appreciate you taking the time to watch and share your insight. Thank you for joining the community 🙏
I'm sorry ...newbie here, how important is is the View Finder and when will Canon upgrade the 24 f/s in both 4k and 1080p, how good is the image stabilisation for outdoor vlogging, please help
One of the best if not the very best video I have seen regardless of topic. Thank you!
Oh wow… thank you so much 🙏🏻 appreciate you being part of the channel.
This videos details sold me thank you Sagi.
Question I'm this price range, anything else you would recommend for a live streaming workhorse. I'd like to have a 3 camera setup.
Thank you for your time
The most indepth M6 MkII review I've seen, Thank you! Even they stopped producing Canon Eos ef-m system I might buy this camera for my hiking trips.
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for being part of the channel!
For picture quality and video which one do you think is better ? Canon eos RP or M6 mark ii ? I mainly take family photos and videos but want excellent photos...Thanks
You'll get excellent photos and video with both. If it were me, I would take the M6 MK II. It's smaller, more portable and I'm more likely to have it with me.
Great video! I don't know a great deal about cameras but you explained it really well! I've had my eye on this camera since it came out and am definitely getting one soon 😊
So glad it was helpful Annie! Thanks so much for being part and supporting the channel!
Hi i want to buy my first camera for youtube and pictures of my kids, which do you recommend between sony zv1 vs m6 MK2; i probably wont be buying any additional lens but I want high quality photos mostly and also good video. Thank you
Is this good for wedding photography?
Another informative and thorough video. Thanks for all the great content on your channel!
Hi Brett - thank you for watching and for the feedback about the video and the channel. I'm grateful that you're a part of this community!
Hi.. as always very informative videos. I just want to ask if you will recommend this m6markii over eos rp for event shooting.. i only have limited amount of budget.. thank you.
With a limited budget - yes. The RF lenses are a lot more expensive (you could technically get an adapter and EF lenses for both)
@@TechGearTalk thank you so much.. im just worried if it will affect my work cuz ive experienced limitations with my t7i/800d canon
Hi I really appreciate your review of this camera. @3:22 what camera do you consider the [ BEST ] in this price range ?
Thanks a lot! Would you suggest the M50 over M6 Mk-ii only in specs point of view? And Which would you suggest in price to specs ratio PoV?
Specs only: m6mkii (easily).
Value: depends on what you need. The added specs don't add value if you don't use them. Watch this: ruclips.net/video/gVg0f7Z5-Qk/видео.html
@@TechGearTalk Thank you very much! Keep up the good work! Really Helpful.
Amazingly in-depth review! Thank you! I’m looking at purchasing this as my first ever non-point-and-shoot camera, for use both to Vlog, as well as to learn photography. I’m going to check out some of your other videos now. I’m really interested in the speed booster you mentioned, while using the 11-22 lens. Thanks again and keep it up!
So glad you found the video helpful John. One thing, the Speed Booster is only available for lenses designed for DSLRs - so the 11-22 will not work. I need to create a video about that. Welcome to the channel!
Oh wow, thanks for the tip! Is there a speed booster that will work with the EF-M lenses? It seemed so when I was searching but this is all new to me. I appreciate the advice! I’ll go watch more of your videos. ;)
Glad I could help. No, there is no speedbooster that would work with EF-M lenses because of how it operates - it's not possible. Let me know if you have questions
Quick question. My display screen use to be on while using HDMI. Now I can view on display screen when HDMI connected. Did I accidentally change a setting?
Make sure clean HDMI output is turned on.

What's up everyone?! I hope this review of the Canon M6MKII was helpful. Did you like it? I think this camera may have taken over as my favorite entry-level mirrorless camera from Canon.The image quality is excellent, the dual pixel autofocus is fantastic and although I wish there was a fully articulating screen, the user experience is still great with the frip touchscreen.
Was there too much detail? Not enough? What did you like, and also, what did you not like? What would you like to see more of? Would love to know what you think, good or bad. I am grateful in advance 🙏
Great video! The resort in your B-roll looks amazing! What resort is it? I need to get there ASAP.
Thanks Dennis - it's a Secrets resort in Akumal
@@TechGearTalk Nice prices to stay there. So cheap.... 🤣🤣
Nice, Photos are really cool. But what about video? I am not sure that the record videos in your video on this Canon is something speciall. I am sorry about it. What do you think about recording videos on this? The preview looks little bad. And WHAT is better for videos? CANON M6 MARK II or SONY A6400? Rly thanks for answer. Thx
I would really like to have your opinion on Canon EOS R7 as I am willing to buy it, can you please please put a video for that :)... Cheers
Is that the Secrets Akumal?
I know I'm late, but I want to purchase the M6. people keep telling me to wait for the RF version, that the M series will go away. What do you think?
Great review, appreciate the thoroughness of bridging the gap between tech and laymen.
Can you recommend the best lenses to consider for filming/shooting softball games?
Glad you enjoyed the video. The answer depends on how you meant the question. If you truly want the best then we're looking at lenses that cost several thousand dollars - but unless you're getting paid for theme photos, you don't need those. If you're just doing this for fun, then you can take a look at the 55-200 as it will give you the most zoom in the ef-m line up (for now). Check out this video: ruclips.net/video/2J4C_RDEg5Y/видео.html If you need even more zoom, then you can look at a Canon 70-300 (it's affordable but is an EF-S lens so it will require an adapter). Hope this helps. Thanks for being part of the channel!
@@TechGearTalk Thanks for taking the time to answer that so thoroughly.
I don't comment often on videos but this is a very well made review and I really enjoyed it! Thanks!
I’m so glad it was helpful - thank you for the feedback and for being part of the channel 🙏🏻
Love mine. Got it for 2500 Swedish crowns recently. So yeah.
Hey, great videos but you probably need to update these videos as we know for a fact that Canon is phasing out the M series. The M6 MKII is already discontinued and obviously, we are not going to get any more EF-M lenses. I heard they might drag out the M50 MKII. I was torn between the M50 MII and M6 MKII, and thankfully decided to visit a Canon Store nearby. That's when I learnt about this.
After a lot of research and considering my budget, I went with the Nikon Z50 because of the kit zoom lens. I know a lot of people complain about that lens, but I will upgrade when I reach that level. For now, I am extremely happy.
ps:
I am pasting this comment on a few more videos I watched so that it can help others too. Not attempting to spam or anything.
So glad I found and have now subscribed to your channel. I just bought this little camera and threw on an old 85 1.8 to shoot in some low light school gyms for plays and such. Am I missing something where the e-shutter only works in single-shot mode? If so I hope that will be a firmware upgrade. Otherwise, your review is spot on. I really hope you find the time to explain and talk about speed boosters. (What was the brand you mentioned?)
I really appreciate you taking the time to watch and for the kind words. Thank you for joining the community 🙏
They added a warning "fast-moving subjects may look distorted. Cannot be used with contin. shooter/flash photography.
I just tested, and you're not missing anything.
As far as the speedbooster, I just added a link to it in the description (thank you). It's from Commlite.
Great video! Thank you, for making such valuable content for us! Do you think it's worth getting this camera if you're not planning to shoot in 4k? I plan to use it for youtube. For sit down videos, vlogs, and photos. I was looking at the M50 ..but I really want something that will last me for at least a few years... I have saved some money and I can afford it, but still, I don't know what to do...
Hi Paulina - if you want 4K, this is the way to go, definitely skip the M50. If you want 1080p, the M50 is still a good option but not for 4k. You'll have no crop, plus dual pixel auto focus with the M6 MKII - you'll love it.
Another amazing review - you did not mention the lack of the EVF and the implication of losing the hotshoe for the EVF making external flash usage impossible....
Thank you so much for the kind words Alexis. Appreciate you contributing additional info here! 🙏
@@TechGearTalk That is precisely why I have written to Father Xmas and askedhim to make me an M50 (or M5) with the internals of the M6II!!! Can't wait for M50 MkII (seeing as Canon has stated that the M6II is a combination of M5 and M6)... Keep up the great work - you deserve many more subscribers.
From a big fan in Cyprus
I really appreciate you being part of the community.
Lack of EVF was mentioned at 9:57 and 28:35.
That's absolutely true @FuzzyDuck - I think (I could be wrong) that Alexis was saying specifically that if you get an EVF, you lose the hotshoe and can't use a flash.
Is that right Alexis?
