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.

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.

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.

The EOS M6 reaffirms Canon's commitment to enthusiast-level mirrorless cameras.

Great build quality; Enthusiast-friendly control layout; Fast Dual Pixel AF; Good still image quality; Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity

No 4K video; Digital stabilization lowers video quality; Very limited lens ecosystem; Optional EVF raises price above EOS M5

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

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

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...

Canon's mirrorless cameras are getting better, but the EOS M6 still can't quite measure up to some competitors.

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

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...

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)...
