Digital Camera World Verdict Where its predecessor was capable as a compact system camera, the Canon EOS M6 Mark II is a potent primary camera – regardless of category. Its powerhouse sensor sets a new benchmark for APS-C systems, along with ferocious 14fps continuous shooting and uncropped 4K video – all in a truly pocketable body with an optional viewfinder should you so desire. In everything save the mount and sensor size, this is poised to be an EOS R beater.

Find out how we test. The original Canon EOS M6 was easy to like, but difficult to love – much like the EOS M line as a whole. With Canon’s APS-C mirrorless camera range having seemingly plateaued at there were only so many bells and whistles that could make the M6 feel exciting – things like 4K video, which were sadly left the M6 with that awkward 'second camera' tag; that it was good enough to be your backup, or the one you took out when pictures weren’t quite as important, but it wouldn’t demand your attention beyond that. Well, you can officially throw that line of thinking out the window – both for the new Canon EOS M6 Mark II and the EOS M series as a whole. With all the tech that comes across our desks, it takes a lot for a camera to impress us these days. The M6 Mark II, however, took us completely by surprise with what it can do, and how capably it can do it. It's one of the best cameras for vlogging right now and certainly one of the best Canon cameras for those who want to go mirrorless. If you want the best camera for filmmaking, however, you may want to set your sights a little higher.• Canon EOS 90D vs Canon EOS M6 Mark II how do you choose?The Canon EOS M6 Mark II retains the 180° vertically tilting touchscreen Image credit FutureThe new powerhouse sensor gives this camera a higher resolution than its big brother, the Canon EOS R. In fact, the M6 Mark II packs more megapixels than any Canon body save the 50MP 5DS/R – not at all bad for the supposedly humble APS-C not only does it outmuscle the EOS R in the resolution stakes, it also outperforms it in a number of other departments – not least its freakish 14 frames per second continuous shooting mode, and the fact that it can shoot 4K video without any crop the two systems side by side, it actually becomes a challenge not to choose the Canon EOS M6 Mark II over its full-frame mirrorless siblings; it’s a more compact camera than the Canon EOS RP, and a more capable camera than the EOS R. While the Canon RF lens roadmap is undoubtedly better curated than the EF-M lineup, both mirrorless formats are still largely dependent on their seamless compatibility with traditional EF lenses. And, that being the case, the new M6 feels more compelling than its bigger brothers…Canon EOS M6 Mark II sample 1/125 sec, f/ ISO100 click top-right for full-size Image credit FutureSpecificationsSensor APS-C CMOS sensor Image processor Digic 8 AF points Dual Pixel CMOS phase detect, 143 / 99 points depending on lens ISO range 100 to 25,600 expandable to 51,200 Max image size 6,960 x 4,640 Viewfinder N/A Metering modes Evaluative, partial, center-weighted, spot Video 4K UHD up to 30fps, 1080p FullHD up to 120fps Memory card 1x SD / SDHC / SDXC UHS-II compatible LCD 3-inch tilting touchscreen, dots Max burst 14fps continuous, 30fps RAW burst mode Connectivity Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, USB-C, Micro HDMI Size x x mm Weight 398g body only, with battery and SD cardThe Canon EOS M6 Mark II features a switch to toggle between manual and autofocus Image credit FutureBuild and handlingThe Canon EOS M6 Mark II is slightly beefier than its predecessor, which measured x x mm and weighed in at 390g, but it remains a micro marvel. Even more so, in fact; for a camera this capable to be packed into a body this small is quite remarkable. However, there’s a temptation to conclude that its pocketable profile means it’s only fit for being a “travel camera” or a “street camera”. And yes, it is very much ideal for both of those things – but a more apt conclusion would be that the M6 Mark II is so small that it can transform the way you shoot, because you simply don’t require the bulky bodied system that you always thought you once again omitting a built-in viewfinder, the Mark II retains the sleek form factor that makes it at once compact for travel, discreet for street photography, one-handable for vlogging, and that perfect Goldilocks-size that’s still substantial enough for proper’ EOS M6 Mark II sample 1/250 sec, f/ ISO200 click top-right for full-size Image credit FutureFar from being a churlish move on Canon’s part, the decision to make the viewfinder an optional extra plays to the M6 Mark II’s strengths. The existing EVF‑DC2 available in a kit with the camera can be kept in a pocket and mounted to the hotshoe as and when required – this keeps the camera pocketable and portable, in a way that the EVF pentaprism would prevent. One of the nifiest additions to the Canon EOS M6 Mark II’s exterior is the new MF / AF toggle switch, filling part of the huge space next to the rear thumb grip. Seemingly superfluous at first, it quickly becomes a valuable part of your muscle memory – particularly with lenses that don’t feature their own an external MF / AF switch. The body features an ever so slightly chunkier grip, which helps it retain balance especially when using adapted EF lenses – something that will almost definitely be required, since the EF-M mount isn’t nearly as well catered for as its EF and RF counterparts. Its magnesium alloy chassis and thermoplastic exterior feel strong and sturdy, though the M6 isn’t an all-weather body and as such it’s not going to take the knocks that a 5D can.• The best EF-M lenses for your EOS M6 Mark IIThe optional EVF‑DC2 comes as part of a kit with the Canon EOS M6 Mark II Image credit FuturePerformanceWe first tried the EOS M6 Mark II in conditions that were far from optimal, in a dimly lit indoor karting track that was somewhat akin to shooting in the basement of a parking lot at night. Even so, the M6 Mark II impressed us. Subsequently we've tried it in more normal outdoor lighting, both for stills and video. The poor lighting certainly tested the ISO performance, while also putting the improved -5EV low light focusing through its paces. With the smaller sensor, noise does start to rear its head when you push beyond ISO1250, and capturing moving subjects at high speed meant that we had to exceed this by some margin. We cranked the ISO all the way up to 6400 for some low light test shots, such as the Budweiser sign, though the circumstances under which you would have to do likewise should be fairly slim. Despite the torrid illumination, the Canon EOS M6 Mark II’s 14 frames per second continuous shooting with continuous AF did a stellar job of keeping up with the action, capturing the cars as they came careening around corners. In fact, in some extremely limited testing, the improved Eye AF tracking even came in useful if drivers’ visors were up, as the camera was quick enough to find and follow EOS M6 Mark II sample 1/4000 sec, f/ ISO6400 click top-right for full-size Image credit FutureFinding focus manually is similarly smooth and simple, either tapping your focus point if shooting on the back screen or using touch-and-drag if using the EVF – a quick and capable replacement for a joystick, though obviously it’s not optimal in environments where cold fingers are less apt to be the lack of full articulation is a pity, the fact that the screen flips 180° does make it more vlogging-friendly – though the 180° display is impeded if you have something mounted on the shoe. This, and the lack of a headphone jack, makes the M6 Mark II less suited to pure video shooting than the Canon EOS 90D – an unfortunate oversight, as the smaller form factor would make this the more obvious vlogging notwithstanding, its 4K video comes up trumps. Not only is the footage uncropped, but the Dual Pixel AF is now fully functional while shooting 4K – and the camera now features clean HDMI output. Crop factors of varying severities can be introduced when using digital image stabilization, which is certainly effective but obviously eats into your composition. Canon EOS M6 Mark II sample 1/200 sec, f/ ISO500 click top-right for full-size Image credit FutureVideoThe EOS M6 Mark II does make a great camera for video, though it's more for the vlogging end of the market than serious filmmaking. It's very compact, it's very light and it's the easiest camera we've tried for gimbal mounting. You can see our sample video face/eye AF is excellent, and worked perfectly for our walking video test. It also has a large AF area 100% vertical x 88% horizontal. The resolution is not directly relevant for video, where the 4K UHD resolution is 3840 x 2160 pixels – a lot less than the full 6,960 x 4,640 pixels for stills – but the M6 Mark II produces decent quality 4K footage regardless, with great color 180-degree flip-screen is useful when you're filming yourself, though it has a tilting mechanism rather than the fully-articulating pivot found on many other Canon it's a fun little camera you can shoot some decent footage with. The buttons and switches are a good size and feel solid, and the menu navigation is easy, as we'd expect from a not all good. The EOS M6 Mark II does not yet shoot 4K at the popular 24fps frame rate which we're told is coming or at 60/50p which isn't. There's no in-body stabilization, so it's just as well it's light and wieldy on a gimbal, there's no zebra pattern exposure warnings, and no headphone jack to monitor the sound. The lack of a headphone jack is a surprise, since the technically similar EOS 90D DSLR does have one – and it's not often you can say a DSLR is better equipped for video than its mirrorless can shoot at a high frame rate in 1080p resolution, but not with continuous autofocus, and you don't get any log profiles either – though normally you'd only expect that in more expensive EOS M6 Mark II is as capable as a stills camera as it is for video, and delivers nice-looking colors.

However, increased image noise at sensitivities past ISO 3200 results in obscured fine detail and eventually the M6 II falls behind its competitors at ISO 12, rangeImage credit FutureThe EOS M6 II delivers an almost identical amount of dynamic range to the Fujifilm X-T30 throughout the tested sensitivity range – no mean feat, as the X-T30 is very strong in this area. However, the new Canon still has some way to go if it's to match the Nikon Z 50's class-leading dynamic range at higher worth noting that any in-camera dynamic range enhancement is disabled for our lab testing in order to get a level playing to noise ratioImage credit FutureOur signal to noise test measures image clarity, specifically the ratio of the actual image 'data' you want to capture, versus the image noise that you don't want, but will inevitably be visible when shooting at higher ISO sensitivities. The higher the score at a given ISO sensitivity, the the higher the pixel density on a imaging sensor, the more image noise is generated at a given ISO sensitivity, putting the Canon at a theoretical disadvantage in this test compared to it's slightly lower resolution these results prove the theory translates to reality, as both the X-T30 and Z 50 come out ahead, and by a fairly wide margin at higher sensitivities. The EOS M6 II does stay ahead of the Sony a6400, which we'd expect given Canon's sensor is a newer architecture than the chip in the Canon EOS M6 Mark II has given new life to the previously flagging EOS M line. We’d even go one step further and offer that the M6 Mark II might be the best mirrorless camera that Canon has yet released. Yes, it lacks the larger sensor and more robust offering of native lenses, but in almost all other respects it is operationally superior to both the EOS R and RP. More megapixels, higher frame-rate, uncropped 4K video… in many respects, this is the camera that its older brothers should have a faster continuous mode than the Canon EOS 90D, it’s arguably a more adept action camera for subjects such as wildlife and sports than its new sibling – though the 90D, somewhat bafflingly, possesses the extra tricks the articulating screen and headphone output that make it more capable for video. The Canon EOS M6 Mark II is a ferocious little performer. A true jack of all trades, but not in a pejorative sense – this camera pumps out high quality pictures and captures crispy 4K video, both of which are worthy of far pricier bodies.

If you were worried that Canon would ignore its APS-C mirrorless camera series after the introduction of the full-frame EOS R, your anxiety should be somewhat lessened by the EOS M6 Mark II $ body only, which debuts just about a year after the EOS R. It sports a new sensor with class-leading resolution, better 4K support, and improved autofocus compared with the last generation, the most recent model being the EOS M50. It's the best mirrorless camera Canon has made to date, but enthusiasts may be turned off by a scarcity of premium lens options. Where's the EVF? The EOS M6 Mark II comes with a price tag that's decidedly not entry-level—just $50 less than the Sony a6400 or Fujifilm X-T30, two cameras that are all but equal, and our Editors' Choices for shoppers looking in this price range. But it's missing one big feature offered by the competition—a built-in viewfinder—a design choice I think is a misstep. You can add an external viewfinder, but it's a bit of a clumsy solution that makes the whole thing bigger than it would be if one was in the body. The add-on finder, the EVF-DC2, costs $200 on its own, but is included in M6 Mark II kits. Canon offers two, one with the EF-M 15-45mm f/ IS STM zoom for $1,099, and another with the EF-M 18-150mm f/ IS STM for $1,349. Both body and kit options are available in your choice of black or silver finish. The kits are certainly a better value than buying the camera by itself. Similar Products Even without an EVF, the M6 isn't notably smaller than competing models that include one. It measures by by inches HWD without a lens attached, and weighs ounces. Compare that with the a6400 by by inches, ounces and X-T30 by by inches, ounces. Solid Ergonomics The M6 Mark II is a compact camera, but it's one that feels very good in the hand. The handgrip isn't quite as deep as I'd want when pairing with a big lens, but to date every EF-M lens has been positively svelte. It's something to consider if you're a Canon SLR owner thinking about using your existing lenses via the EF-EOS M adapter. I used the camera with the EVF attached when working handheld, but took it off and relied on the rear LCD when seeing how the body handles on a tripod. I love the tilting design of the LCD, and its touch interface. The EVF-DC2 doesn't offer tilt adjustment. The EVF-DC1 does, and it works with the M6. But its tech is older—it uses an LCD panel, rather than the DC2's OLED, which isn't good for tracking fast action, something the M6 Mark II is quite capable of capturing. Canon has done a good job improving the control scheme of the original EOS M6. The top dials are better, with the Mode a little more prominent, and the rearmost of the command dials a much stronger design. Canon ditched the two-level EV control for a single dial with a control button at its center. It's more versatile and comfortable to turn. The On/Off switch is nestled at its side. The shutter sits at a gentle angle above the handgrip. It has a good feel—a light touch depresses it halfway to engage autofocus, and a little more pressure snaps a photo or starts a burst. It's surrounded by the front control dial, finished in knurled metal. The M-Fn button, a customizable control, sits just to the right of the shutter release. Rear controls have been rethought a bit. The buttons are bigger and feel better than on the original M6, for one. There's now an AF/MF toggle switch, for quick changes to focus mode, along with a customizable control button at its center. The AE Lock * and focus point selection buttons sit at the edge of the rear thumb rest, just as on the first M6. Info, Record, Play, and Menu buttons surround the rear control dial, which turns continuously and offers four directional presses. They adjust EV, the flash settings, the drive mode, or delete images during playback. The Q/Set button, for the on-screen interface, is at the center of the wheel. The improved feel versus the original M6 isn't limited to dials and buttons. The handgrip is a bit deeper, and I like the feel of the leatherette wrap more. The body is a little wider, so there's more breathing room for the rear controls. The round-eye strap lugs have also been dropped, in favor of sturdier rectangular brackets. The rear display is a 3-inch LCD with touch support and a 1,040k-dot resolution. It's very sharp, and can tilt up, down, or face all the way forward. The touch support is excellent, with great response. The screen isn't just for framing and reviewing images. Pressing the Q button launches a view that gives quick access to common settings and is easily navigable by touch. You can also tap a subject to initiate tracking, or use the screen as a focus control surface when using the EVF—you'll see a small orange reticle in the viewfinder, which moves as you slide your finger on the rear LCD. Connectivity and Power Canon includes Wi-Fi and Bluetooth in the M6 Mark II. It works with the Canon Camera Connect app, a free download for Android and iOS platforms, to transfer photos for on-the-go editing and sharing, or for remote camera control. Both features work well—you get a live view from the lens on your phone's screen when using it as a remote, and images transfer over painlessly. Physical connections include the hot shoe, which works with the EVF and Speedlite flashes, as well as a mic jack, a remote connection, micro HDMI, and USB-C. The battery and memory card both load in the bottom. It's a single SDXC slot with support for the fastest UHS-II media. In-camera charging is available via USB-C, but it's a little tempermental as to what batteries and power adapters will charge it. I was able to replenish the battery using my MacBook Pro charger, but not a generic external battery. A standard external charger for the battery, which plugs directly into an AC outlet, is included. Improved Autofocus, Shutter Mechanism The M6 Mark II's Dual Pixel AF system is notably improved from the previous generation. It covers a wide swath of the sensor, the full height and 88 percent of its width, and can be sized down to a small point for precise focusing. The camera can fire as quickly as 14fps in its Hi+ burst rate, with 7fps capture available at the Hi setting and 3fps at the Low. It tracks subjects effectively, even at top speed. The buffer does fill up pretty quickly, though. You'll get about 20 shots in Raw or Raw+JPG, 30 shots in C Raw or C Raw+JPG, or 35 shots in JPG format before the shooting rate slows down. Thankfully the camera supports fast UHS-II SDXC cards, so it only takes about 10 seconds to clear the buffer to memory. Faster burst rate aside, Canon has made some other improvements to the focus system. Face and eye detection are available, even in continuous AI Servo focus. It works well—you can see it in action in our Atomos Ninja screen recording, embedded above. I don't think it's quite as confident as the similar tech in the Fujifilm X-T30 and Sony a6400, but it's not that far off. It will definitely help you get better-focused snapshots of your kids at play, for example. I was also happy to see how well the tracking focus system kept pace with cars moving down a racetrack at high speeds. I found tapping on the subject, or using the Touch Pad AF function, to be the best ways to identify a subject. See How We Test Digital Cameras Canon has upgraded the shutter mechanism. It's capable of firing at 1/4,000-second at its fastest, but you now have the option of using both front and rear mechanical curtains—which means it closes down, opens, and closes again to make an image, just like with an SLR. It's a departure from earlier M models, which rely entirely on an electronic front curtain shutter EFCS. It's a minor thing—there are some instances where an EFCS can distort the shape of bokeh highlights. It's not something I'd fret about—the portrait above was shot with EFCS and the EF-M 32mm f/ STM lens at its widest aperture and the bokeh looks fine to me. There's also a fully electronic shutter option, which can fire as quickly as 1/16,000-second. Densest APS-C Sensor Canon has squeezed into its APS-C sensor, the most we've resolution we've seen from the smaller-than-full-frame format. Despite the increase in pixel density, we saw better noise control than the company's 24MP chip, used in the original EOS M6 and others. It's not class-leading—that honor goes to the 26MP sensor found in the Fujifilm X-T3 and X-T30—but it's not that far off. Canon's JPG engine is a little heavy with noise reduction, curbing fine detail starting around ISO 800, but it's a rather modest effect, and image quality holds steady through ISO 3200. There's a little bit more blur at ISO 6400 and 12800, and it increases significantly at ISO 25600 and 51200. Keep in mind that the M6 won't go higher than ISO 6400 in Auto ISO mode unless you change a setting in the menu, and if you do you can only pump it up to ISO 25600. If you're looking at the M6 as a family camera to use in automatic mode, you'll enjoy very good image quality through its default Auto ISO range. More advanced photographers can enable Raw capture. The M6 supports two formats, Raw and C Raw, the latter of which adds some compression to keep file sizes down, without compromising file quality. Standard Raw files are around 45MB, while C Raw cuts them to about 30MB—file sizes do vary based on scene content. You don't lose anything by opting for C Raw, so I recommend using it. Raw images show strong detail all the way through ISO 6400 when processed using Lightroom. There is a grainy look, though, first apparent at ISO 800 and increasing steadily with the sensitivity. The sensor is very competitive with the 26MP chip used by the latest Fujifilm cameras through ISO 6400. The sensor shows a little more noise and a little less fine detail than the X-T3 at ISO 12800 and 25600, but there's very little practical difference. The output from either camera at ISO 51200 looks the same—very rough. Our overall impression of the new sensor is very positive—it's a good step forward for Canon, one that narrows the performance gap its previous-generation 24MP chip suffered versus others, and boosts resolution in the process. You can see crops from both Raw and JPG test images in the slideshow linked below. We're happy with the flexibility of the Raw images when it comes to adjusting exposure. Some recent Canon chips have suffered from excessive color noise when increasing exposure, brightening shadows, or lifting blacks. With the M6 Mark II, you have as much flexibility with Raw processing as you can expect from any APS-C camera. The new sensor, along with its Digic 8 image processor, is capable of doing some things with video that older Canon chips can't do—like record 4K video using the full width of the frame, and with speedy Dual Pixel AF. It also supports 1080p, of course, at 30 or 60fps with audio recording and full-time autofocus; Canon is adding 24fps later this year via a free firmware update. There is a slow-motion option, 1080p120, but autofocus is locked in for the duration of the shot and audio isn't captured. There are some pro-grade video features, like flat recording profiles, that are missing. But my biggest gripe about the M6 Mark II and video isn't the lack of high-end features; if that's what you want, other brands will serve you better at this price. Rather, it's that Canon hides away the 4K and slow-motion capabilities. They are only enabled when the Mode dial is set to the movie camera position. In all other modes, pressing the Record button limits you to 1080p. Extremely Capable, Modestly Supported Here's the rub—there's a lot to love about the EOS M6 Mark II. Canon has finally pushed its Dual Pixel AF system to a level that's on par with its very hearty competition, and it's finally given us an APS-C camera that can use its full sensor width to shoot video at 4K. It can shoot and track moving targets at 14fps, with autofocus coverage over most of the frame. But, despite how much this camera can do, Canon has decided to hide some things, and limit others, especially in terms of video. Meanwhile, Fujifilm and Sony absolutely pack video options to the gills in their competing cameras. Lenses are important for everything, not just video. Canon offers a number of zooms, covering ultra-wide through telephoto distances, but only a couple of prime lens options and a single native macro at this point in time. Sigma is now offering its DC DN Contemporary trio of f/ primes in EF-M, and sundry manual focus lens makers offer their wares in every mirrorless mount. But it's still far fewer options than offered to Fujifilm X and Sony E users. How much all this matters to you really depends on what you want out of the camera. If you're happy with what it offers and content with the lenses, the EOS M6 Mark II looks like a very promising, albeit expensive, option. Family photographers used to a basic Rebel SLR from even a couple of years ago will be blown away by the upgrades in speed and resolution. Likewise, pros deeply invested in the Canon system can look at this as another tool in the kit, a small, extremely capable stills camera, compatible with Speedlites and lenses that are already owned, and with a very familiar user interface. It's the enthusiast crowd, or pros who aren't in the Canon ecosystem, for whom the EOS M line, on a whole, is a tougher sell. The lenses just aren't there, and the video features that serious YouTubers and aspiring Kubricks look for aren't there either. The add-on viewfinder isn't as elegant a solution as models that put it in the body, and it adds to the overall cost of the package. It's for those reasons we continue to recommend the Fujifilm X-T30 and Sony a6400 more highly for photographers shopping for a mirrorless camera. The M6 Mark II itself isn't too far behind, and if Canon can better support it with native lens options, its appeal should broaden. Pros High-resolution sensor. 14fps burst rate. Quick, accurate autofocus. Face and eye detection. Flip-up LCD. 4K video. Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. View More Cons EVF isn't built in. Sensor isn't stabilized. Native lens library lacks premium options. Dumbed-down video options. Pricey. View More The Bottom Line The EOS M6 Mark II marks a big step forward for Canon's APS-C mirrorless system, but the available lenses aren't as appealing as those offered by Fujifilm and Sony.

There is no sensitivity adjustment for the dial/knob controls of the M6 II, the only sensitivity adjustment is for the touch dials are standard encoder controls with mechanical steps. Do you hear/feel clicks as you rotate the dial? You should. Is the selected exposure value changing without the dial clicking? If either of these are happening then the encoder control is defective. You should feel regular solid detents as the dial is rotated and nothing should happen between these attempt should be made to clean this control, it can only be serviced by opening the camera and that is something that shouldn't be attempted by the typical EOS 1DX M3, 1DX M2, 1DX, 5DS R, M6 Mark II, 1D M2, EOS 650 film, many lenses, XF400 video
