Canon Australia shares accidental ‘first look’ at EOS M6 Mark II, EOS 90D cameras

20 Aug

Canon Australia appears to have leaked two upcoming cameras – the EOS M6 Mark II and the EOS 90D, in a pair of videos posted on its YouTube channel (which have been taken down in the minutes since we started drafting this article). The two videos gave a ‘first look’ at what appear to be forthcoming mirrorless and DSLR APS-C products.

Canon Australia has since removed the videos, but Canon Rumors downloaded them before they were taken down and uploaded the videos to its YouTube channel.

Canon M6 Mark II

According to the video, the Canon EOS M6 Mark II will feature major improvements over its predecessor, the EOS M6, both in terms of ergonomics and specifications.

Most notably, it looks like the EOS M6 Mark II will feature a 32.5-megapixel CMOS sensor powered by a Digic 8 processor. It will have a continuous shooting speed up to 14 fps with autofocus, Eye Detection, Dual Pixel AF and a dedicated MF/AF Focus Mode Switch button on the rear of the camera.

Canon Australia notes in the video’s description that the M6 Mark II will be able to shoot 4K/30p video and 1080p at 120 fps. Also shown in the video is a removable OLED viewfinder that works with the Touch & Drag AF on the rear camera display and a Wi-Fi/Bluetooth transfer option, although the specifics of the transfer technology remain unknown.

Canon EOS 90D

Also leaked by Canon Australia was what we presume to be the promo video for the EOS 90D, Canon’s next-generation APS-C DSLR.

According to the video, the 90D will feature a 32.5-megapixel sensor with a Digic 8 processor behind it (presumably the same combination found in the EOS M6 Mark II). IThe 90D appears to be limited to 10 fps continuous shooting, but it too has Dual Pixel AF, Eye Detection AF and a 45-point all-cross-type autofocus sensor with a joystick for navigating through the AF points.

The optical viewfinder inside the 90D features 100-percent coverage and includes a 220K-dot RGB + IR metering sensor that features Canon’s iTR AF (face-detection).

On the video front, the video doesn’t share much, but notes the 90D will shoot 4K 30p video and up to 120 fps when shooting in 1080. The video also says the 90D is dust- and water-resistant and can be paired with Canon’s BG-E14 battery grip, the same one used for Canon’s 70D and 80D cameras.

No pricing information or definitive release date was mentioned in the videos, but given both were posted on an official Canon channel, and have since been removed from YouTube, we assume that the EOS M6 II and EOS 90D are real, and coming soon.
