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 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.

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

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.

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.

The Canon EOS M6 isn't quite specified up to the standard we'd expect for a camera with such a price tag, but it's a sound all-round performer and perfectly good choice for EOS M and EOS M10 users looking for something a little more powerful.

Plenty of direct control; Compact and lightweight; Very good autofocus system; Great operational speeds

Better build quality expected at this level; No integrated viewfinder; No 4K video recording; No electronic shutter option

I had the original EOS M for years and despite it's painfully slow autofocus I loved it; I've only had this a couple of weeks and it's such a step up; Excellent build quality, the sensor is awesome and the autofocus is a massive leap forward

A bit pricey compared to other manufacturers

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.

Camera arrived fast and works great. Love it
