I mainly shoot with Canon DSLRs, also own another brand mirrorless camera and was curious about what progress Canon was making in the mirrorless product space so on an impulse I bought the M6.

I purchased this camera in November 2017, hoping for a dSLR quality camera in a smaller, lighter weight package. It is smaller and somewhat lighter, but much poorer quality than a regular dSLR.

If you are looking for an extremely high image quality to camera size ratio, the Canon EOS M6 may have your name on it. While the M6 is a tiny camera, it gives up nothing in terms of image quality to any of Canon's other current APS-C sensor format EOS models, including both DSLR cameras and MILCs...

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

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

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.

Sorry, I had to say good bye to my Sony a6300. I didn't see the need to keep both camera. Although the Sony a6300 is a great 4K camera with stunning visuals, I really needed a vlogging camera with an articulated LCD screen, and the Canon EOS M6 is the perfect choice for me.

Flip-up LCD panel with touch screen; Compact and light-weight; Mic-in; Easy to use; Video: 1080p @60 fps

Sleep time (no longer than 30 mins; No 4K recording

In conjunction with Canon's 30th Anniversary this year, Canon Marketing Malaysia has released three new DSLRs - the Canon EOS 77D , EOS 800D , and the mirrorless EOS M6 into our market. They are all available right now in all Canon Image Square and authorized dealers nationwide.

If this camera had had the same sensor as the Canon 6D, prime lenses, and better autofocus, I would've easily given it five stars. But oddly enough, it has more megapixels than the 6D and not as great as an output as that camera despite being a significantly newer sensor.
