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.

Canon EOS M6
Canon continues to develop its EOS M range of compact system cameras (CSC) through the EOS M6, a diminutive camera packed with the sort of features one would expect from a Canon DSLR.
If size is an ultimate priority, the M6 is a promising and powerful backup or second body for the established Canon shooter. It's the company's smallest camera to feature its latest 24MP APS-C sensor with Dual Pixel AF, the controls and touchscreen interface are a joy and many smaller EF (and -S)...
Canon EOS M6 Review
The EOS M6 is a great camera for existing Canon enthusiasts and casual videographers alike. The autofocus performance continues to impress, and though many of its direct competitors offer 4K video and some form of viewfinder, the EOS M6 is a well-built camera capable of very good image quality.- Those with an existing collection of Canon lenses, those who need ease of video shooting over outright video quality and who appreciate build quality and a polished user interface.
- Sports and action photographers, anyone requiring high resolution video.
Canon EOS M6 review: Canon's best mirrorless yet, but is that good enough?
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
I have a Canon 5D4, which is a great camera. The main reason for me to also own an M-series is the small size. I want a camera that gives me great image quality, low-light response, speed, and the ability to use all of my lenses when needed, all in a small enough package that I can throw in a...
I sold my Canon 60D recently and have been looking for a new 2nd camera for a long time. I wanted a smaller and lighter camera. I often drag around several cameras and every gram counts. One of the requirements was a turntable on the back of the camera that you can adjust the aperture with.

Canon EOS M6 Review
Canon's mirrorless cameras are getting better, but the EOS M6 still can't quite measure up to some competitors. We called the EOS M5 the best mirrorless camera that Canon had made yet when we reviewed it earlier this year. The M6 ($779, body only) is, from a technical perspective, the same camera as the M5, minus the integrated viewfinder. It's a bit smaller all around and $200 less expensive, which makes it a bit more appealing for casual photographers who prefer to use the rear LCD to frame up shots. The M5 and M6 represent a big move forward for Canon in the mirrorless space, but there's still some room for improvement, especially with autofocus in dim conditions. Our favorite entry-level mirrorless camera is still the Sony a6000—it's compact, has a built-in EVF, and it costs less. Design The EOS M6 ($679.00 at Amazon) measures 2.7 by 4.4 by 1.8 inches (HWD) and weighs 13.8 ounces without a lens attached. It's smaller than the M5, which measures 3.5 by 4.6 by 2.4 inches and 15.1 ounces. We received the camera in black for review, although I'd say the top plate is closer to a metallic gra...- 24MP image sensor
- 9.1fps burst capture
