Tech Gear Talk hey great video! You’ve got my sub!! 😊 Would you be able to do a video comparing the low light recording capabilities of the m50 vs m6 Mark ii with the kit lens and all settings detailed. I found I’m having issues with low light video with my m50. Thanks so much, keep up the great content! 🙌🏻
Another great video at the start of it I almost felt like maybe I made a mistake with my M 50. But when weighing the options for Price and the camera screen and the viewfinder I know I’ve made the right choice for my budget! Thank you for a well created professional and informative video. Nate M.
I bought the M6 mkii for six months ago and I’m super satisfyed with this. I also bought the lenses, 22 mm, 32 mm, 11-22 mm, 55-200 mm plus the kit lens that follows with the camera .👍
I did it. I pulled the trigger and picked up the M6 I had the M50 waiting for me at BestBuy, however. the fact I can get a clean video out and the larger sensor and the focus points of the M6. Thank you for the detailed information. I really appreciate it. this will be a great camera for live streaming.
Another excellent review - well done. I bought an M-50 about 2 months ago, so I'll be sticking with that one for a while. But it's always good to keep up with what else is out there.
I started my RUclips channel in April because I needed to start something new and exciting during coronavirus. So far I uploaded about 14 videos all done by iPhone. I experienced overheating my iPhone w/DJI gimbal one day and I’ve decided to purchased a camera. To make a long story short, after changing my mind millions of times I purchased Cannon M5. Of course via your site. Thank you very much. And I look forward to keep learning from you.
I bought the sigma 16mm 1.4 lens for my canon 250D it didn’t size it I’ve used the whole day searching for the adapter that can let me use it 😢all to non avail, so I decide to sell it and get canon m50 because the sigma lens is EF-M lens. I’m so confused 😢I don’t know what to do please I need a solution
There is no adapter from ef-m to EF because the lens is designed to be closer to the sensor (you can adapt lenses from EF to EF-M because the adapter acts as a spacer). See if this video helps: ruclips.net/video/tvM_r6Rr12U/видео.html

Any additional insights or opinions on this choice would be very helpful. Thanks!

Tech Gear Talk thanks so much. I ended up buying two cameras. I bought the a6400 for me and the X-T30 for my wife. My wife loves car races she is always going to events from drag races to Indy car. I thought the small size and 30fps burst mode would be very helpful. I am a little disappointed that the crane m2 gimbal doesn’t support Fuji shutter or zoom.
Top notch content upload once again. I rented the a6400 after watching your review and though I love the af, the limited touch functionality is a deal breaker for me. My question is, will the 22mm with the viltrox speed booster be wide enough to vlog and will it bring out the superior image quality of the m6 mk2 sensor. I appreciate the work you put into doing quality work. Salut
What's up brother! Thanks for all the support! The 22mm won't work with the speed booster for two reasons. 1. It's a mirrorless lens. 2. it's an aps-c lens. The speed booster only works with full frame dslr lenses. Hope that makes sense.
Auto bracketing is huge in the m6mkii. I currently have an m200 and I love it’s small form factor but I plan to upgrade to an m6 in the future. Thanks for the cool vid
Nice review. Unfortunately in Australia, Canon tend to go for the gouge on pricing with new models: The Canon M50 with kit lens can be had anywhere here, including Amazon for $750. Unfortunately, if you add the EVF to the M6Mk2, it lists at $1460. The Nikon Z50 with lens is $1450 and the Sony a6400 with lens is $1350. So right now and considering the lack of integrated EVF and outrageous pricing, the Canon is not competitive. If Canon put a proper EVF in and dropped the price to $1200, it starts to be competitive.
Your videos were so helpful for me to make up my mind which camera to get. Choosing the right camera turned out to be a harder exercise than i expected. I decided on the canon m6 mark ii, as it seems to share a lot of specs with the 90d, but is smaller and lighter for on my travels. Can’t wait to start experimenting with it!
@@krakapoww Well that was actually no surprise at all, the rumours were already there when I bought the camera. In my opinion it still rocks, I still love the power of it considering the small body. It is not the only body I own i should add but its still a go to camera of mine for travel and street photography
How is this the first time I've seen your videos?! Love the detailed information, awesome production value, and great personality. You've earned a subscriber today, thank you!
Always love getting more information from your videos, so awesome. My canon m50 has a loose mic jack issue and repairing it could cost around 200 so I am thinking about upgrading instead, but I really like the flip out screen. I don't know whether to buy another m50, fix the current one, or upgrade to the m6 mark ii haha. What do you think?
This is one of the best comparison videos ive seen 👌 Im a relatively new photographer and i currently have a Canon eos m10 which is a lovely camera however im starting to get some paid work one of which is a small wedding so im looking for something better quality and bigger spec but without breaking the bank, i was looking at the m50 however im now considering the m6 mark ii.
M6MK2 has uncropped 4K! get out!! it does look cool! Great video man, as all your work. Maybe you could do a video about how to use white balance with mixed lights and also one about what kind of lights are out there. WE TRUST YOU!
Excellent in depth review. I already own an M6 mk1 but am looking at upgrading to the mkii. Canon have now released the updated firmware for 24p. That and your review have persuaded me I think. Thanks for this. 👍🏻
Super glad the review was helpful. The M6MKII is definitely my favorite EOS M camera right now! Here is the more detailed review if you're interested: ruclips.net/video/Nir8pfvfdFI/видео.html welcome to the channel!
Looking at the portraits at about 13:00 and 16:00, the Sony 6600 in your other review looks much sharper to my eye. It's more money, but at this moment, I'm leaning that direction. Hope you do a comparo...so far I only see the Sony a6400 v M6 MkII.
Hey there! Maybe a low light video both inside under “house lights” at night and perhaps outside at sunset until the image is lost. Detailing the settings as the lighting changes 👍🏻
Got it. Ok, so to be totally transparent, I would do my best to never shoot under those conditions. I would always add a source of light (even if it's a tiny LED) because no camera with a kit lens will give you good results. Even with a fast lens (which is what you need for that wide aperture) you'll want a source of light. I mean, I would even go as far as using my iphone flashlight if I needed to to add light. Check out this video: ruclips.net/video/q2hs8BOTXb4/видео.html Since it looks like you're getting serious and growing a channel, is there any chance you could invest is a small light? That will make your life so much easier. If not, you'll want to position yourself next to some outdoor light. The Kit lens is going to be a major hurdle, especially if you can't get a light source. I hope this response makes sense.
Thank you for this great comparison video, it was just what I was looking for. This video really helped me decide which camera I should buy for for my future youtube project videos :)
Hi. At 15:30 you couple the 100mm 2.8L macro with the M6 MKII. Is it too big a lens for that body? It worries me that these two together might be too cumbersome to operate while shooting frogs and snakes with external flashes. Perhaps a DSLR is a better choice? Thanks. Juan
I’m torn! If I’m an entry level film maker, and I plan on focus pulling and getting comfortable using mainly manual focus, do you recommend the m50? Is the 4K more useable with manual focus? I don’t plan on vlogging much, just some free lance and local projects. Let me know, I need help deciding!! Great work.
One of the reasons I went with the Canon m50 over Sony A6300 & other competitors was the flip-out screen and in-camera autofocus/image stabilization combo.
One of the reasons I went with the Canon m50 over Sony A6300 & other competitors was the flip-out screen and in-camera autofocus/stabilization combo. Also, I was told none of the ef-m lenses can resolve the newer 32.5 megapixels --- even the sharpest prime lens of 32mm is unable to handle it --- so I'm not seeing the benefit for upgrading just yet. As for the higher choice of shots during quick-bursts, you can't use the silent shooting mode which is a serious limitation for wildlife or sports photography. Also, don't forget that both m50 and m6mkii have shutter actuations of 10,000. So just like car mileage, the higher the shutter is used, the more mileage you're putting on your camera & the more likely the camera is to malfunction with wear & tear. This is why I refuse to buy used cameras, especially if I'd prefer to reserve shutter counts for timelapse. The minimum 1/30s shutter speed isn't a big deal for me since I already own an external intervalometer for longer exposures. If you need to capture a quick moving object, then just increase your shutter speed. Simple. I know of people who rely on quick-bursts as a crutch to capture good photos bc they haven't been willing to try to learn the photography skill of timing your shot. It's a good skill to learn whether you're an amateur or pro ☺
Someone please at 7m30s I see gridlines on the display - I've been trawling through the manual and menu and for the life of me I can't get those to show up at all =/
This has been such an informative video... I have dreamed of having an M50 for years, and I would really appreciate a video like this on how best to use the M50 for live streaming and how to set it up for best result s recording video with a greenscreen. Thank so much for a great video!
i just purchased and received the M6Markii in the mail today and just want i was looking for better resolution, uncropped 4K and ready for the future after hearing your video i so glad i made this purchase. BOdy is now only 799. not 850. Since my last camera i had was a cannon 35MM film and few lenses so this will be great amazing learning this camera. i so excited to learn. One question would my lenses i use for my 35MM canon fit on my new M6 mark ii if i get that special attachment for it to fit other lenses.
right now it's a price difference (for the kits) between $1,099 and $599. This is my first nice digital camera and I can't justify spending nearly 2x the price of the m50. Especially since the money saved can afford me studio lighting and food for a few weeks 😂. At least you've shown that the m50 punches above its weight in a few ways. Thank you
Here the difference is much larger, M50 kit is 520 € and M6 II is about 1250 € (with the 15-45 lens and EVF). I bought M50 last march for 570 € including the body case and the brown strap. I love it with the exception that the clock is almost 5 seconds a day too fast (according to Canon within the specs)
I’ll be using mostly for pictures and will be using the kit lens that it comes with for awhile as I save up. Which one would you recommend? Would I be able to do professional photos with either of these using the kit lens it comes with?
I planned to buy 200d M ii but didn't because I heard it doesn't support third party flash..does these two cameras also have the same issue ?..what are your views on using third party flash ? Is there any difference in quality and performance?
Great question Rohit. Both of these have the center pin so you can use a third-party flash. I have no issues using a quality third-party flash and trigger. In this video, I used the Godox AD200 Pro with the XPro trigger. Hope this helps.
I have the M50 but if I want better video quality, this sounds like a good upgrade? Especially with the no crop 4k. Even the EOS R has a crop and that bothers me
Well, it's a totally different budget. The EOS R with RF lenses is easily 3-4 times the price of the M6. So if budget was an issue, M6II with the sigma ef--m lenses or the canon 32 f/1.4 and 22 f/2 (but of course start with the kit lens and the rest will depend on what you shoot: ruclips.net/video/z-x-d-K9Jfw/видео.html ) does that make sense?
@@TechGearTalk definitely makes sense. I love the lightweight setup when it comes to these smaller mirrorless camera's and that price point between the m6 and eos r with lenses is a huge drawback, especially since I already have an M50 and the 32mm/22mm. Thanks for the responses!
Really enjoying your channel :) Out of interest, does the m6 mk ii shoot HDR video in 24fps - or is HDR only available in the 25fps/30fps modes? Thanks for sharing!
@@TechGearTalk me too, but I've just seen it's also available for video, so would like to know more - makes it an interesting proposition for me as a b cam
In terms of Sharpness and Detail and Dynamic range which one would you recommend me to buy, iPhone 12/13 Pro Max or Canon M6 Mark II? And my second question would be if Canon M6 Mark II can compete with iPhone 12/13 Pro Max in nnight and low light situations? Thanks in advance for your response.
Excellent video , nice informative comparison, sir , which lens you are using for with canon m6 mark ii. Many reviewers say M6 mark ii pictures are not sharp ? Please reply quick as I m planning to buy in sale.
Great comparison. I have read that the EF-M glass does not take full advantage of the big sensor of the M6. In your opinion which one is a good lens for the M6? The 3 Sigma or adapted EF? Thank you!
I just got the Canon Eos M60 mark 2. I have a question can any one help me on which lens is a must buy. Also Any other things I should buy with it. It comes with the kit lens.
Yes, the M6 mk ii is unquestionably the better camera, but is the price difference justified considering the lack of EVF, fully articulating screen and NFC connectivity? I don't believe so.
I wound up getting the M6. Just curious on whether or not the M6 have a way to disable the live view auto shut off? I purchased sparko cam for my M50. I there a way to use the M6 with my Elgato cam link for live streams? Thanks!!
@@TechGearTalk ok cool. Will it stay on for hours at a time? My M50 shuts off after about 40 minutes while connected to my elgato camlink. That's why I bought spark cam. (That and the non clean hdmi out.)
Yes, it should turn on for as long as you have battery. If you wanted to use HDMI out on the M50, you can open EOS Utility and it will keep your camera on.
Heyy!! Been a fan of the channel for a while now, top quality content!! Been meaning to ask you, ive got an m50 with 15-45 kit lens, 22mmf2 and a nifty 50 with a regular adapter. Its been a great camera for a starting point but i feel like i want to upgrade without going into very expensive territory especially on lenses (such as full frame RF lenses) would you say its a good upgrade to go from the m50 to the m6 mark ii? Or should i spend more and get something like the RP or R? Would the difference be really noticeable on both video and stills?
@@TechGearTalk ya because mind took pictures of what eye sees, that what i believe, Ok see When i am listening to your video.. and a picture pops up then my mind starts to see the details of that picture and stops recording while listening... So if there is some text of specs on screen what u are telling then it will be easier to capture a still image in mind which records the image detail as well as the written specs I hope you got my point 🙂
great content! Thank you for putting this video together! For me, I wanted to replace my 6D with something that had similar functionality (intermediate photography) but was easier to transport/travel with. I'm really torn but leaning toward the M6 mkii. I haven't gotten into video as much just yet but I may down the road.
I'm super glad it was helpful Terrance! The M6MKII is really a fantastic camera for stills as long as you're ok with the optional EVF. Thank you for the kind words and for joining the community 🙏
WOW!… I don't know how you remember all this stuff; absolutely brilliant comparison. One thing to make clear though, the M50 also has electronic shutter hidden away under the scene menu. I considered the M6mkII, but my M50, complete with it's shortcommings: tiny 200 shot battery, and toggling between the exposure triangle, does what I need at present. Great upload.
Thanks so much for the input. I should have mentioned that scene mode. The only issue I have with it is that you can only shoot in Auto mode. I'm so grateful to have you as part of the community - you always support and contribute 🙏
Watched a lot of your videos! You are amazing,you have convinced me to buy the 200d mark 2. A mirrorless camera Is not the one for me. I'll be making tech vids in future and that camera seems perfect! Quality Content!
I’m looking to upgrade from the M 50 mark 2. I have both EFM and EF lens. I also starting live-streaming for my church. I was thing of moving up to the RP for high ISO performance but the M6 mark 2 has better focusing. Your opinion ?
Nice video. Could you tell me what is your honest opinion for next step from Canon M50?. I love taking slow mo videos and looking for camera with 120fps in full HD with good auto focus. I have a limited budget too :)
Thanks a lot! Allow me a wish? I am very much interested in the new Fuji XT200, which seems to overcome the shortcomings of the XT200. For a vlogger, that looks like a nice choice? Or do you think that the XT200 will be less of a camera than the M6II, so that a direct comparison would make no sense?
@@TechGearTalk Sorry, yes, the xt200 is a huge improvement to the xt100, of course. I wonder whether that makes the xt200 a contender to the M6II. Or maybe Canon does not have an M-camera that can be compared to the xt200 at the moment.
I think when you want to have a solid camera with a good price the m50 is the one. But when your budget is higher I would definitely choose the RP over the M6 II.
Tech Gear Talk Full frame, R series, better image quality, in built evf, the lens mount allows to use the outstanding RF lenses and also the complete EF lineup with an adapter. For me as an RP user the better choice ^^
@@Daniel-su2es at the same time that cameras video features are worse, but for photos I would get the eos rp, I almost got the rp, but I got the m50 because the price is so good and I could buy a lens with the extra money
Thank you gear talk .. could I ask your good name please I actually am not able to understand what you say when you say your name.. is it Gee? Or anything else??
Another excellent and unbiased video!!! I'm still gonna get the M50 due to the price and viewfinder. Which speed booster do you think is better, Viltrox or Commlite?
I use the viltrox and it seems pretty reliable. Stops my 50mm 1.8 down to a 1.2 which is awesome in low light. I think for the price it holds up well in low light I even taken shots at 6400 iso and they still come out fairly clean. I just need raw video to even consider upgrading.
So for live streaming, the M6ii allows HDMI out, CLEAN SIGNAL, and AUTOFOCUS? Both 1080p and 4K? Just confirming. That may be the one I need then. Was looking at the M50 but not having a clean signal via HDMI was a no go though there are workarounds using USB and other software. Thanks.
@@TechGearTalkThanks a million for your reply. Just subscribed. All I want is to stream 1080p with with the Sigma 16mm f1.4. Which Canon would be the lowest cost that I can get away with via clean HDMI? Would it be the M6MKII? The crazy thing is that I'm also considering the Sony 20 f1.8 with an Alpha body but that's a whole different price range. (I am starting to stream hours teaching and will do so for many years to come as I work for a non-profit organization and think I want to set up a very relaxed and pleasant environment for the viewer.) Thanks again for you excellent videos. Clear, direct, well informed, superb production qualities etc.
You're very welcome - glad I'm able to help. If you really want to go with a Sony, you could always go with this body: ruclips.net/video/oim6v2zDQM0/видео.html (you could also get the same 16mm sigma lens for Sony) If you want a Canon, the M6MKII is the way to go. By the way, before you buy a lens, here are my thoughts on first lens: ruclips.net/video/z-x-d-K9Jfw/видео.html
It's definitely not ideal, but it's better than not having 120 at all (which is where we all were with Canon for a while (unless you got a C200 or 1DXII)
Hi. I did the smae thing with my G7X MK III - see here: ruclips.net/video/Hd68_SvjL60/видео.html I hope this helps Cathy. If you still have questions, let me know.
Hi there! Can you tell me how to take black and white pictures with M50, and are there differents shades of black and white to adjust as as well? Thank you!

Nice review. Unfortunately in Australia, Canon tend to go for the gouge on pricing with new models:
The Canon M50 with kit lens can be had anywhere here, including Amazon for $750. Unfortunately, if you add the EVF to the M6Mk2, it lists at $1460. The Nikon Z50 with lens is $1450 and the Sony a6400 with lens is $1350. So right now and considering the lack of integrated EVF and outrageous pricing, the Canon is not competitive. If Canon put a proper EVF in and dropped the price to $1200, it starts to be competitive.
Thank you and appreciate all the info! I'm always shocked at the price differences.
I was considering the 90D as my last Canon DSLR upgrade, but now the M6MII is the clear choice!
Thanks for this!
Super glad this was helpful Sergei! Appreciate you watching.
Thank you for such a well laid out video. So I'll remember your saying, "buy it nice or buy it twice". Thanks 👍🏽🙂
Thanks for the video, I was waiting for this
You're very welcome. What did you think?
Your videos were so helpful for me to make up my mind which camera to get. Choosing the right camera turned out to be a harder exercise than i expected. I decided on the canon m6 mark ii, as it seems to share a lot of specs with the 90d, but is smaller and lighter for on my travels. Can’t wait to start experimenting with it!
How do u feel now that Canon Dropped the m series?
@@krakapoww Well that was actually no surprise at all, the rumours were already there when I bought the camera. In my opinion it still rocks, I still love the power of it considering the small body. It is not the only body I own i should add but its still a go to camera of mine for travel and street photography
Fantastic review of these cameras! Really thorough and concise. I love your style :)
How is this the first time I've seen your videos?! Love the detailed information, awesome production value, and great personality. You've earned a subscriber today, thank you!
Glad you found the channel Jordan. Thank you so much for the kind words and feedback - appreciate you joining the community 🙏
Can the M6 mrk 2 shoot for long times? I want to vlog for 3hrs via hdmi using the ATEM MINI PRO
your channel is the best when it comes to tech review.
Thanks you so much - super grateful 🙏
Pleasure is all mine, brother. Keep up the good work. I can feel the amount of work and effort you put for every video of yours.
I do my best and hope the videos are helpful and people will share them with others who would find them useful 👊
Always love getting more information from your videos, so awesome. My canon m50 has a loose mic jack issue and repairing it could cost around 200 so I am thinking about upgrading instead, but I really like the flip out screen. I don't know whether to buy another m50, fix the current one, or upgrade to the m6 mark ii haha. What do you think?
So glad the videos are helpful. If you love the M50 and you don't want things like 4k, I would probably just save the money.
This is one of the best comparison videos ive seen 👌
Im a relatively new photographer and i currently have a Canon eos m10 which is a lovely camera however im starting to get some paid work one of which is a small wedding so im looking for something better quality and bigger spec but without breaking the bank, i was looking at the m50 however im now considering the m6 mark ii.
M6MK2 has uncropped 4K! get out!! it does look cool! Great video man, as all your work. Maybe you could do a video about how to use white balance with mixed lights and also one about what kind of lights are out there. WE TRUST YOU!
Definitely a powerful camera. I have some lighting videos coming for sure. I like your idea about mixed light!
Tech Gear Talk thanks man! Appreciate it 🙏
🙏
Excellent in depth review. I already own an M6 mk1 but am looking at upgrading to the mkii. Canon have now released the updated firmware for 24p. That and your review have persuaded me I think. Thanks for this. 👍🏻
Super glad the review was helpful. The M6MKII is definitely my favorite EOS M camera right now! Here is the more detailed review if you're interested: ruclips.net/video/Nir8pfvfdFI/видео.html welcome to the channel!
That was an absolutely brilliant review and comparison. Many thanks.
Thanks so much! Glad you liked it!
Wanna see you going out doing the photoshoot. Good video as always.
Thanks! I will continue to do those for sure!
Looking at the portraits at about 13:00 and 16:00, the Sony 6600 in your other review looks much sharper to my eye.
It's more money, but at this moment, I'm leaning that direction. Hope you do a comparo...so far I only see the Sony a6400 v M6 MkII.
The 13:00 image is super sharp on the closest eye but the Sony eye AF is better than Canon's.
Does the m6 have an electronic shutter where you can still access manual camera controls? Thanks
Hey there! Maybe a low light video both inside under “house lights” at night and perhaps outside at sunset until the image is lost. Detailing the settings as the lighting changes 👍🏻
Got it. Ok, so to be totally transparent, I would do my best to never shoot under those conditions. I would always add a source of light (even if it's a tiny LED) because no camera with a kit lens will give you good results. Even with a fast lens (which is what you need for that wide aperture) you'll want a source of light. I mean, I would even go as far as using my iphone flashlight if I needed to to add light. Check out this video: ruclips.net/video/q2hs8BOTXb4/видео.html
Since it looks like you're getting serious and growing a channel, is there any chance you could invest is a small light? That will make your life so much easier. If not, you'll want to position yourself next to some outdoor light. The Kit lens is going to be a major hurdle, especially if you can't get a light source. I hope this response makes sense.
Thank you for this great comparison video, it was just what I was looking for. This video really helped me decide which camera I should buy for for my future youtube project videos :)
Hi. At 15:30 you couple the 100mm 2.8L macro with the M6 MKII. Is it too big a lens for that body? It worries me that these two together might be too cumbersome to operate while shooting frogs and snakes with external flashes. Perhaps a DSLR is a better choice? Thanks. Juan
I’m torn! If I’m an entry level film maker, and I plan on focus pulling and getting comfortable using mainly manual focus, do you recommend the m50? Is the 4K more useable with manual focus? I don’t plan on vlogging much, just some free lance and local projects. Let me know, I need help deciding!! Great work.
Hi there. Yes, the 4K is more usable with manual focus (you'll still have the additional crop - so keep that in mind). Hope that helps.
Tech Gear Talk Good point... But with one of the sigma wide angle’s, the m50 is pretty hard to beat, right?
Uncropped 4K, dual pixel AF and clean out ! WOW
What about 90D? Would be good comparison... once again, top contents :)
Thanks for the kind words!! You're absolutely right ruclips.net/video/TbZtes_JyGk/видео.html
for vlogging, m50 still wins. it MUST flip the screen out to the side. my mic goes on top.
That makes sense to me. I'm switching to the Rode wireless go so we'll see.
@@TechGearTalk I have the Rode wireless Go and M50. Go for it ! Best settup for the money/results
Appreciate the input @Romain Shows you Stuff!
One of the reasons I went with the Canon m50 over Sony A6300 & other competitors was the flip-out screen and in-camera autofocus/image stabilization combo.
One of the reasons I went with the Canon m50 over Sony A6300 & other competitors was the flip-out screen and in-camera autofocus/stabilization combo. Also, I was told none of the ef-m lenses can resolve the newer 32.5 megapixels --- even the sharpest prime lens of 32mm is unable to handle it --- so I'm not seeing the benefit for upgrading just yet. As for the higher choice of shots during quick-bursts, you can't use the silent shooting mode which is a serious limitation for wildlife or sports photography. Also, don't forget that both m50 and m6mkii have shutter actuations of 10,000. So just like car mileage, the higher the shutter is used, the more mileage you're putting on your camera & the more likely the camera is to malfunction with wear & tear. This is why I refuse to buy used cameras, especially if I'd prefer to reserve shutter counts for timelapse. The minimum 1/30s shutter speed isn't a big deal for me since I already own an external intervalometer for longer exposures. If you need to capture a quick moving object, then just increase your shutter speed. Simple. I know of people who rely on quick-bursts as a crutch to capture good photos bc they haven't been willing to try to learn the photography skill of timing your shot. It's a good skill to learn whether you're an amateur or pro ☺
Someone please at 7m30s I see gridlines on the display - I've been trawling through the manual and menu and for the life of me I can't get those to show up at all =/
This has been such an informative video... I have dreamed of having an M50 for years, and I would really appreciate a video like this on how best to use the M50 for live streaming and how to set it up for best result s recording video with a greenscreen. Thank so much for a great video!
i just purchased and received the M6Markii in the mail today and just want i was looking for better resolution, uncropped 4K and ready for the future after hearing your video i so glad i made this purchase. BOdy is now only 799. not 850. Since my last camera i had was a cannon 35MM film and few lenses so this will be great amazing learning this camera. i so excited to learn. One question would my lenses i use for my 35MM canon fit on my new M6 mark ii if i get that special attachment for it to fit other lenses.
SO GLAD YOU LOVE IT!!! If you got an EF/EF-S to EF-M adapter they should "fit". I'm not sure what functionality you'll have (Auto focus, etc.).
right now it's a price difference (for the kits) between $1,099 and $599. This is my first nice digital camera and I can't justify spending nearly 2x the price of the m50. Especially since the money saved can afford me studio lighting and food for a few weeks 😂. At least you've shown that the m50 punches above its weight in a few ways. Thank you
Great perspective my friend. I think you will love the M50! Let me know how it works out for you 👊
why am I watching this while I know I’ll never get the M6 II? 😂I currently own the M50 II
Buy it nice, or buy it twice, that is such profound thing to say! 🙌
Here the difference is much larger, M50 kit is 520 € and M6 II is about 1250 € (with the 15-45 lens and EVF). I bought M50 last march for 570 € including the body case and the brown strap. I love it with the exception that the clock is almost 5 seconds a day too fast (according to Canon within the specs)
WHOA... that's a really big difference... Appreciate you sharing.
I really like the video but one key part was missing for me, and that is actual image comparison with noise and contrast section.
I’m thinking of upgrading to the M50 II because it does vertical portrait video for Instagram, does the M6II film vertical for Instagram?
Thanks
Hi. It does not. You’d have to rotate it.
Amazing channel, love from Australia ❤️
Thanks so much 🙏 Appreciate the support!
I’ll be using mostly for pictures and will be using the kit lens that it comes with for awhile as I save up. Which one would you recommend? Would I be able to do professional photos with either of these using the kit lens it comes with?
I planned to buy 200d M ii but didn't because I heard it doesn't support third party flash..does these two cameras also have the same issue ?..what are your views on using third party flash ? Is there any difference in quality and performance?
Great question Rohit. Both of these have the center pin so you can use a third-party flash. I have no issues using a quality third-party flash and trigger. In this video, I used the Godox AD200 Pro with the XPro trigger. Hope this helps.
@@TechGearTalk thank you sir now I know exactly where I want to invest..❣️
Glad I could help! 👍
I have the M50 but if I want better video quality, this sounds like a good upgrade? Especially with the no crop 4k. Even the EOS R has a crop and that bothers me
Yup, if you're shooting 4k, the m6ii is much better than the M50. the eos r crop makes it a tighter angle of view than the m6mkii... nuts.
@@TechGearTalk hmm that's interesting. Between the eos r and the m6mkii, which would you choose for 4k use?
Well, it's a totally different budget. The EOS R with RF lenses is easily 3-4 times the price of the M6. So if budget was an issue, M6II with the sigma ef--m lenses or the canon 32 f/1.4 and 22 f/2 (but of course start with the kit lens and the rest will depend on what you shoot: ruclips.net/video/z-x-d-K9Jfw/видео.html ) does that make sense?
@@TechGearTalk definitely makes sense. I love the lightweight setup when it comes to these smaller mirrorless camera's and that price point between the m6 and eos r with lenses is a huge drawback, especially since I already have an M50 and the 32mm/22mm. Thanks for the responses!
Oh, in that case, just crush that M6mkii - glad I could help!
Really enjoying your channel :) Out of interest, does the m6 mk ii shoot HDR video in 24fps - or is HDR only available in the 25fps/30fps modes? Thanks for sharing!
Thanks! I thought it was only available for photos.
@@TechGearTalk me too, but I've just seen it's also available for video, so would like to know more - makes it an interesting proposition for me as a b cam
Would the high resolution of the 32 sensor impact of the 4 k?
In terms of Sharpness and Detail and Dynamic range which one would you recommend me to buy, iPhone 12/13 Pro Max or Canon M6 Mark II? And my second question would be if Canon M6 Mark II can compete with iPhone 12/13 Pro Max in nnight and low light situations? Thanks in advance for your response.
Excellent video , nice informative comparison, sir , which lens you are using for with canon m6 mark ii. Many reviewers say M6 mark ii pictures are not sharp ? Please reply quick as I m planning to buy in sale.
I have an m50. I wish i would have went with the m6 mkii
I really love the M6MKII
Great comparison. I have read that the EF-M glass does not take full advantage of the big sensor of the M6.
In your opinion which one is a good lens for the M6? The 3 Sigma or adapted EF? Thank you!
Nice shots of Cleveland and the Rock Hall....very nice.
Thanks so much Larry 🙏
I just got the Canon Eos M60 mark 2. I have a question can any one help me on which lens is a must buy. Also Any other things I should buy with it. It comes with the kit lens.
How's the stabilisation for vlogging
Can you please go into more detail about the lens booster?
See if this helps: ruclips.net/video/tvM_r6Rr12U/видео.html
Yes, the M6 mk ii is unquestionably the better camera, but is the price difference justified considering the lack of EVF, fully articulating screen and NFC connectivity? I don't believe so.
I completely accept that perspective 👊
what lens is that on 9:03 and 16:47 ?
I heard there is a fetcher where you could stamp the location where you shot the picture.
That's interesting 👊
Does the M6 Mark II have HDR bracketing for stills?
Can I shoot 5 to 10 mins long exposure with m6 without using external trigger?
I have not done that, but I would say yes. You'd set it to BULB and let the trigger control everything.
I wound up getting the M6. Just curious on whether or not the M6 have a way to disable the live view auto shut off? I purchased sparko cam for my M50. I there a way to use the M6 with my Elgato cam link for live streams? Thanks!!
Hi there. Did you get the M6 or M6 mark ii?
@@TechGearTalk sorry The Mark 2 forgot that detail.. Thanks
Yes, you need to turn on clean HDMI output on the M6MKII and it will work great!
@@TechGearTalk ok cool. Will it stay on for hours at a time? My M50 shuts off after about 40 minutes while connected to my elgato camlink. That's why I bought spark cam. (That and the non clean hdmi out.)
Yes, it should turn on for as long as you have battery. If you wanted to use HDMI out on the M50, you can open EOS Utility and it will keep your camera on.
Heyy!! Been a fan of the channel for a while now, top quality content!! Been meaning to ask you, ive got an m50 with 15-45 kit lens, 22mmf2 and a nifty 50 with a regular adapter. Its been a great camera for a starting point but i feel like i want to upgrade without going into very expensive territory especially on lenses (such as full frame RF lenses) would you say its a good upgrade to go from the m50 to the m6 mark ii? Or should i spend more and get something like the RP or R? Would the difference be really noticeable on both video and stills?
Same question here!
You can put text as well while telling the specs for video fps and any comparison
Good idea!!! THANKS 🙏🏻
@@TechGearTalk ya because mind took pictures of what eye sees, that what i believe,
Ok see
When i am listening to your video.. and a picture pops up then my mind starts to see the details of that picture and stops recording while listening...
So if there is some text of specs on screen what u are telling then it will be easier to capture a still image in mind which records the image detail as well as the written specs
I hope you got my point 🙂
Makes a lot of sense
I totally see your point. Appreciate having you as part of the channel. I'll see what I can do with the specs.
@@TechGearTalk THANKS
great content! Thank you for putting this video together! For me, I wanted to replace my 6D with something that had similar functionality (intermediate photography) but was easier to transport/travel with. I'm really torn but leaning toward the M6 mkii. I haven't gotten into video as much just yet but I may down the road.
I'm super glad it was helpful Terrance! The M6MKII is really a fantastic camera for stills as long as you're ok with the optional EVF. Thank you for the kind words and for joining the community 🙏
WOW!… I don't know how you remember all this stuff; absolutely brilliant comparison. One thing to make clear though, the M50 also has electronic shutter hidden away under the scene menu.
I considered the M6mkII, but my M50, complete with it's shortcommings: tiny 200 shot battery, and toggling between the exposure triangle, does what I need at present. Great upload.
Thanks so much for the input. I should have mentioned that scene mode. The only issue I have with it is that you can only shoot in Auto mode. I'm so grateful to have you as part of the community - you always support and contribute 🙏
Can you please do a comparison between the canon m6mII and the somy zv e10 please? 🙏 ❤
You should create a camera basics course and explain how focal lengths work and the speedbooster...thanks
Good idea. Will do!
Watched a lot of your videos!
You are amazing,you have convinced me to buy the 200d mark 2. A mirrorless camera
Is not the one for me.
I'll be making tech vids in future and that camera seems perfect!
Quality Content!
Glad I was able to help and grateful to have you as part to the community.
@@TechGearTalk take care
🙏
I’m looking to upgrade from the M 50 mark 2. I have both EFM and EF lens. I also starting live-streaming for my church.
I was thing of moving up to the RP for high ISO performance but the M6 mark 2 has better focusing. Your opinion ?
Do you have an update/advice on M50 MKII vs M6 MKII?
I'LL BE CHOOSING THE M6 MARK II. I THINK I'VE SEEN YOU DOWNTOWN TAKING PICTURES BEFORE, GOOD PRODUCT KNOWLEDGE MY GUY!
It's such a good camera. If you see me again, feel free to say hello! Let me know how it works out for you.
On the clean HDMI output would you go with M6MKII or the Canon SL3?
I have the M50...and I am buying the M6 markii. Keeping my M50 because it shares lenses and I may need it for something's too. Love the vid!
2 > 1
Good job sharing lenses!!!
Thank you so much for the kind words 🙏
Lisa's Life i plan to get the M50 for my birthday and mothers day gift for me. Its $499 now at beat buy and amazon, $549 with the video creator kit.
Nice video. Could you tell me what is your honest opinion for next step from Canon M50?. I love taking slow mo videos and looking for camera with 120fps in full HD with good auto focus. I have a limited budget too :)
Thanks a lot! Allow me a wish? I am very much interested in the new Fuji XT200, which seems to overcome the shortcomings of the XT200. For a vlogger, that looks like a nice choice? Or do you think that the XT200 will be less of a camera than the M6II, so that a direct comparison would make no sense?
Thank you. One question, you said the xt200 will overcome the shortcomings of the xt200 - I think it was a typo, can you explain please.
@@TechGearTalk Sorry, yes, the xt200 is a huge improvement to the xt100, of course. I wonder whether that makes the xt200 a contender to the M6II. Or maybe Canon does not have an M-camera that can be compared to the xt200 at the moment.
The X-T200 looks very good on paper. I hold off my judgement until I actually get to use the camera. i will definitely let you know!
I want the M6 but you can’t add an extra flash…. Correct?
You can add a flash, but then no viewfinder. Hope that helps.
I think when you want to have a solid camera with a good price the m50 is the one. But when your budget is higher I would definitely choose the RP over the M6 II.
That an interesting perspective - I like it. What would make you pick the RP over the M6 II?
Tech Gear Talk Full frame, R series, better image quality, in built evf, the lens mount allows to use the outstanding RF lenses and also the complete EF lineup with an adapter. For me as an RP user the better choice ^^
Appreciate you sharing!
@@Daniel-su2es at the same time that cameras video features are worse, but for photos I would get the eos rp, I almost got the rp, but I got the m50 because the price is so good and I could buy a lens with the extra money
liked it very much bro... you are an awesome presenter .... your voice is also fantastic... keep up the good work...
Thank you so much for taking the time to watch and for your very kind words. Grateful for the support 🙏
Please make a video about the speed booster..
I will do!
Thank you gear talk .. could I ask your good name please I actually am not able to understand what you say when you say your name.. is it Gee? Or anything else??
Sure. Sagi.
Great reviews. Maybe I missed it, but it would have been nice if you would have mentioned any internal flash capabilities.
Good feedback. both cameras have a built-in flash
@@TechGearTalk Thanks! I'm cheap and don't own an external flash for my 70D.
What EF or EF S lens would you recommend for travel videos/photography for M6 Mkii?
Another excellent and unbiased video!!! I'm still gonna get the M50 due to the price and viewfinder. Which speed booster do you think is better, Viltrox or Commlite?
Thank you for the kind words. I think that's a good move (getting the M50). I'm waiting to see the Viltrox so that I can compare.
I use the viltrox and it seems pretty reliable. Stops my 50mm 1.8 down to a 1.2 which is awesome in low light. I think for the price it holds up well in low light I even taken shots at 6400 iso and they still come out fairly clean. I just need raw video to even consider upgrading.
@@iRecordOS Thanks @ZigsVision! I appreciate it.
So for live streaming, the M6ii allows HDMI out, CLEAN SIGNAL, and AUTOFOCUS? Both 1080p and 4K? Just confirming. That may be the one I need then. Was looking at the M50 but not having a clean signal via HDMI was a no go though there are workarounds using USB and other software. Thanks.
That is correct. The M6MKII is what you want if you plan on using it for streaming. It will make your life SO MUCH easier.
@@TechGearTalkThanks a million for your reply. Just subscribed. All I want is to stream 1080p with with the Sigma 16mm f1.4. Which Canon would be the lowest cost that I can get away with via clean HDMI? Would it be the M6MKII? The crazy thing is that I'm also considering the Sony 20 f1.8 with an Alpha body but that's a whole different price range. (I am starting to stream hours teaching and will do so for many years to come as I work for a non-profit organization and think I want to set up a very relaxed and pleasant environment for the viewer.) Thanks again for you excellent videos. Clear, direct, well informed, superb production qualities etc.
You're very welcome - glad I'm able to help. If you really want to go with a Sony, you could always go with this body: ruclips.net/video/oim6v2zDQM0/видео.html (you could also get the same 16mm sigma lens for Sony)
If you want a Canon, the M6MKII is the way to go. By the way, before you buy a lens, here are my thoughts on first lens: ruclips.net/video/z-x-d-K9Jfw/видео.html
Excellent and very informative video!
Glad it was helpful Jim!
does m6 mark 2 give 120 fps in 1080 and does it give dual autofocus?
also tell about the iso performance, is it better than m50?
The M6MKII is better than the M50 in pretty much every way. There is 120fps @1080 but no autofocus at all, just manual focus.
@@TechGearTalk thats a shame
Whats the use of 120 then
It's definitely not ideal, but it's better than not having 120 at all (which is where we all were with Canon for a while (unless you got a C200 or 1DXII)
@@TechGearTalk which mic do u use, bcz ur audio is pretty clear

Hello. I love your videos and the way you explain. Can you please explain why a MD how to use a speed booster in M6ii.
With the flip screen M6mkII would be a perfect camera.
I would really like that.
Seriously. Why the heck did they not include that in the M6? It’s one of the best things to have in a camera.
