Canon EOS M6
Canon have produced a highly functional camera in the new EOS M6. This entry level camera will take amazing pictures despite its non-extravagant look. It’s small, light (weighing in at a mere 390g) and is perfect for traveling, hiking and other slow-paced adventure sports. Here are some specifications to help you decide whether this is the camera for you.
The first feature worth mentioning is the 24.2MP function this camera delivers. The camera may not be the most glamorous, but the image quality is hard to beat for such an entry level device. The Canon EOS M6 also has a video recording capability, and your videos will reach up to 60p in full HD (7 frames per second).
To further assist the quality of your photos, anti-shaking software has been installed courtesy of 5-Axis Digital IS. You’ll also be happy to learn that Dual Pixel CMOS AF also forms part of your camera to ensure quick response on photos, and smooth recording for videos. Finally, there is also a built-in low-pass filter which will help you do some basic editing before you even move images to another device!
This camera also boasts WiFi & Bluetooth functions for easy sharing of your images. If you’re part of a community of photographers who come together to share, then this camera will serve you well in building photographer relationships.

The perfect pocket camera
This is a great camera from Canon. It feels comfortable and well balanced in the hand. The rear touch screen is detailed, large and easy to use. It also tilts 45 degrees which I also found really useful.
Brilliant Small Camera
Brilliant Small Camera with most EOS SLR features and programs. I t can be hard to see the LCD screen sometimes, but after purchasing the EVF-DC2 Electronic Viewfinder Accessory, I am now really happy using this camera in very sunny conditions.
A excellent Canon EVF
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.
Most Amazing Camera !!
I have owned many DSLRs in my professional production business for broadcast, event, commercial, docu, and cinema, and beyond the shadow of a doubt this small lightweight, easy to use camera is the first breath of air Ive had in a long time.
... a 7D mk ii or 80d packed into a beautiful little camera
Quality of a 7D mk ii or 80d packed into a beautiful little camera, only downside is the lack of viewfinder, however, for video work it functions perfectly for 1080p, the powerful 24mp sensor also makes for some beautiful detailed pictures. Highly recommended!
Awesome camera!
This camera is amazing. Only issue I've had is the little remote that comes with this package doesn't work and I've checked all the settings on the camera twice.
Canon EOS M6 Kit
A fine camera for those entering the world of mirrorless with changeable lenses. Not as compact as some might want in a travel point and shoot, and the wi-fi connect is a bit clunky, but for the current price and features it holds a favorable place many will appreciate and value.
Canon EOS M6
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
Canon EOS M6
Promoted by Canon as 'The Content Creator's Mirrorless', the EOS M6 updates its predecessor, the EOS M3 by importing some of the advanced features introduced in the EOS M5 (which we reviewed in December 2016).
Canon EOS M6 review
While I have some reservations about the EOS M6, it’s overall a very impressive camera – especially given its size. The Sony A6000 might be a bit quicker to focus and have that all-important viewfinder, while the Panasonic GX800 is cheaper and records 4K video, but Canon has made a camera that almost matches up to both. It might not be the best small CSC on the market, but I think it’s the best CSC Canon has made so far – and a sign that the company’s future mirrorless models might be a match for anything made by Sony, Panasonic, Olympus or Fujifilm. Buy the EOS M6 here from Canon- Genuinely compact size
- Strong all-round image quality
- Fast handling
- No viewfinder
- No 4K video
