Camera arrived fast and works great. Love it

I absolutely love this camera. It really is perfect in so many ways. The image quality is amazing, the size and weight are exactly what I need, and the camera can be customized in many ways.

Canon announced the EOS M6 back in February 2017 and it's now available in the Philippines this month. It's actually a quick follow-up to the Canon EOS M5 that was announced in September 2016 and released in the Philippines around December 2016.

More affordable than the M5; Good build quality; Dual-pixel autofocus; Great picture quality; WiFi and Bluetooth support

No 4K video recording

The Canon take on the mirrorless camera market has been interesting: having lackadaisically introduced the M-series system in a bid to avoid undercutting its own DSLR business, it had taken Canon years to establish a more viable M-series camera. That happened in 2016 with the EOS M5 .

Small scale; good build quality; capable autofocus; decent tilt-angle touchscreen control along with physical dials

Expensive without bettering the competition; lacks autofocus finery like its nearest competition; no 4K video smarts

This was the finishing touch to my new light-weight camera system. After adding an EF lenses adapter ring to my new Canon EOS M6 this EVF-DC2 completes the kit. With the Canon M6 it works straight out of the box and is mounted on the flash shoe.

The 24-megapixel APS-C image sensor and DIGIC 7 image processor help deliver good image quality and impressive overall performance, but the Canon EOS M6 has to separate itself from not only its EOS M5 sibling but very good mirrorless cameras from numerous other manufacturers.

Enthusiast-oriented compact camera body; Good image quality in most situations; Impressive Dual Pixel CMOS AF; Very good overall performance

Dynamic range and high ISO image quality aren't quite up to par with some of its competition; No 4K video recording; Video features in general are underwhelming; Native EF-M lens selection is limited

DSLRs and mirrorless camera are all the rage these days, but what if you just wanted a simple compact solution that isn't complicated to operate? Sure, your smartphone might provide a decent option, but not all smartphones these days have that great of a shooter.

Great image quality; Compact

Stiff controls

Canon's current generation of mirrorless cameras deliver serious improvements compared with earlier efforts, but they still have some room for improvement. The EOS M6 is solidly built and compact, with appropriately sized lenses to go along with it.

24MP image sensor; 9.1fps burst capture; Tilting touch LCD; Wi-Fi; Compact; Add-on EVF available

Video tops out at 1080p; Focus can struggle in dim light

I must say that like many cameras these days the Canon M6 is perhaps overloaded with options and at first blush some potential users will be overwhelmed and even put off by the maxed out features, especially when bravely plowing through the online instruction manual.

Despite Canon's continued dominance of the DSLR market, as well as a strong performance in the premium compact sector, its CSC range has had a relatively unremarkable start, with only four UK models released over a five-year period.
