Testing the digital image stabilization on the Canon M6mkII
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 17 окт 2024
- In this video I compare the digital image stabilization found in the Canon M6 mark 2 with optical image stabilization built into the Sony 10-18mm f/4 mounted to the a6400. Although the M6II does digital image stabilization surprisingly well, it turned out to be about the same as the a6400 with stabilization applied in post.
Here's a link to the specific Steve Mould video I referenced

I almost never subscribe to channels, but your no-bullshit approach really appeals to me, so I actually made an exception. Too bad you haven't posted for a while, but if you do in the future, you've got a new subscriber at least!
Gave a thumbs up 👍🏻 after watching 20-30 videos I found this one and this actually helped me to decide. great effort 👍🏻
So according to your experience if I use the ENHANCED IS on my Mark II it does not degrade the quality of 4K video ?
I'm very interested in 1080p video quality comparison. They say canon 1080 codec is much better... 🙄
It is
Did the canon digital IS do any weird warpy/jumpy stuff to that image at the edge of the frame? I always felt that digital IS in that m50 made a mess of the footage, and my initial impression was that my M6 II was doing the same, but I may be just paranoid after the m50 experience. I haven’t really given the m6 II digital IS a proper test.
Shot a wedding over the weekend and had one or two weird jitters in the center of the frame. Not sure if it was because of the digital IS or autofocus changing.
I know this is 5 months late but I finally figured out that “enabled” IS on the M50 is good for forward or backward shots. Panning shots for me had a warpy glitch for me. The “enhanced” mode is meant to mimic a tripod shot when your handheld. So it’s meant for recording a static shot, once you move it will go jello lol
@@mirrorlessmemory so for a smooth Pan using a M6 What do you recommend?
Wow! This is a fantastic review. You nailed it this time! This is the comparison I have been waiting for from the previous video you made on M6 mark 2 vs Sony A6400. Subscribed to you! Awesome! The box test was pretty accurate. By the way, it would be cool to have a low light or nighttime test on both cameras on your next video. Keep up the awesome work :)
Thanks for the kind words. I'll keep that low light test in mind.
Do you happen to know if canon m6 IS works with third party manual lenses?
What do you rate the canon m6 mark ii overall? Do you suggest buying it or there is a better option? I ordered one 2 days ago but i've read a lot of reviews in which they don't suggest buying it. What's your opinion?
hmmm. if the m6 mk2 has gyro and if the gyro data is recorder into the file, would plugin like realsteady do a better job if they support it?
Thats for sure!!!!
I already own an M6 mark 2 but I’m curious which camera in the Canon line would give me better stabilization without needing a gimbal. I swear that i feel like my g7x had better stabilization than my M6
im in the same situation. the g7x series seem to have the best stabilization ive seen so far.
Do you recommend the M6 mark 2 for someone who will mostly be using it for 4K video
Assuming you don't already own canon lenses and the primary use case is to shoot 4k video, I would get the Sony a6400 instead.
@@benbjurstrom Even if the Canon lenses are a lot cheaper? The 11-22 from canon is less than half the price of the Sony 10-18 in my country. Kind of debating between these two cameras, leaning towards the Sony, but the lenses cost a lot more. I can get the bodies for the same price.
Now Ben, how about the a6600 compared to the M6 MKii before I buy? Thanks for this great work! - Mark
Question, what If you use a speed booster with m6 11 , will that help reduce the crop in 4K with stabilization?
In a way, yes. It's not that the speed booster would reduce the crop caused by the stabilization as that would still apply. Instead it would reduce the 1.6x crop caused by the APS-C sized sensor to about 1.1x.
Digital stabilization in camera would be better than post too because when you crop in camera it's still capturing the same amount of detail on the sensor. Where as when you crop in post you have to zoom into footage that was already captured at a wider focal length. Thus losing detail.
For the m6ii, does IS lenses work with the viltrox speedbooster adapter??
It does :)
Thanks Ben, I will be getting my m6 mark 2 this Thursday and can't wait! This video was really helpful as I will probably be using it for vlogging for my dive videos.
I was curious about this because in Canada the a6400 is $1348 + taxes and the 10-18mm is about $999 making it under $2400 and the m6 mark ii is $999 body only and $459 for the 11-22mm so just under $1600 with taxes for both. Wondering if the quality of the Sony for video is worth the extra $850 ish because those are the lenses I was going to use it primarily for Vlogging. Can't wait to finish this video much love from Vancouver Canada ❤️
I'd say go with A6400 if you do more than vlogging. It has picture profile, built-in EVF, deeper buffer, sharper 4k, better lens upgrade path.
The 10-18 is a bit steep for an aps-c lens but it's constant f/4 and goes as wide as 15mm versus 18mm on Canon.
@@frankfeng2701 thank you!
@@frankfeng2701 I actually don't need 4k I think I'll grab the eos RP and the 17-40L seems like a great plan thanks for your help in this matter is greatly appreciated
Box test was super clever BTW. I always assumed it was just looking at image data.
Right now, the a6400 and M6 MArk2 are exactly the same price. Both with kit lens. Ohhhh what do I do?! Nothing, cuz I dont have enough anyways. Cri
1080 p 120fps is a big one for me. Is it worth the extra 500 compared to m50 for 1080p 120fps??!!
m50 have 120fps only for 720p
Awesome side by side, thanks for this video
wow that was really interesting and unexpected with the box text ! Surprising results to me. Seems like maybe some weakness uncovered there?, like it's lagging? Seems if it was faster it would keep the frame more "still", since it is in reality still there (relative to camera). So IS that INDUCES framing instability, hmm. Isn't that what the cropping is suppose to 'pay' for to reduce? Post IS doesn't do that. Not sure what to think of that, too much to try to mentally process about when to use IS and when not too, lol. Seems like there should be a more minimal IS 'stable frame' setting. I wonder if the box test would it be helpful on all IBIS and IS systems, what that be useful?
Wow! no affiliate links I am impressed... liked and subbed
Good test and comparison 👍
I like the colors way more from the Canon than the Sony.. I am mainly going to use the camera on a tripod so stabilization of the camera itself does not really matter
Really ? I am an M6 II user and I thought the Sony colors are better. ( Never used Sony in past )
Cool box test!!
Great video, thank you!
As you can see from my logo, everything is moving in my world!! I use Sony action cams on the aircraft and helicopters.. Thanks!
How do you take constructive criticism?
I'm always trying to improve. Don't hold back.
Imagine the EOS R5 with IBIS, OIS, and EIS
M6 wins
Canon should buy Gopro's stablization
All big camera companies should...
Great video but honestly both of these two cameras suck at stabilization. A gimbal it’s a must.
Also Sony’s color science looks much better, I don’t know why but Canon’s color isn’t natural.
The Canon stabilisation was noticeably better than the optical IS on the Sony, SOOC. As for colour, it varied throughout the video. The colour temperature being applied 'at the time' greatly affects which camera will look better. Canon colour generally looks more pleasing than that of the Sony, but in this partly shade/partly direct light situation the Sony did a better job of varying its white balance.
Also, unless you're there you cannot even comment on which looked more natural. Human faces can be very pink, more greenish, or anything in between. Grass dramatically varies in shades of green, as do plants and trees.
Nice bug like
As far as colours are concerned cannon wins...... I don’t like enhanced stabilisation...... I’d rather used a tripod..
The Sony Rolling Shutter is just horrid ugly jello shots every time unusable.
