The Canon EOS M6 II is an enthusiast-targeted 32.5MP APS-C mirrorless camera built around the company’s EF-M mount. In many respects it’s a more compact mirrorless variant of the EOS 90D DSLR that was announced simultaneously.
Physically, it closely resembles the original M6 but brings a host of speed and feature upgrades. These include a higher resolution sensor, the ability to capture 4K video and a mode that shoots bursts of Raw files at up to 30 fps. The result is a capable and pleasantly engaging enthusiast camera.
Key features:
- 32.5MP Dual Pixel AF CMOS sensor
- 14 fps continuous shooting
- 30 fps Raw Burst mode (with AF Tracking and pre-shot buffering)
- UHD 4K video at 30p and 25p with no crop / full width
- 3.0″ rear touchscreen flips up by 180° or down by 45°
- Optional electronic viewfinder
- USB 2.0 port with Type-C connector
Canon says it will add 4K/24p shooting to the M6 II with a firmware update in 2020.
The EOS M6 Mark II is available in a series of kits. The official body-only price is $ 849. Adding the retracting 15-45mm IS STM lens and EVF (pictured) boosts the price to $ 1099, while an 18-150mm IS STM and EVF kit will set you back $ 1349.
