Excellent compact SLR alternative

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 January 2020

Style Name: CameraPattern Name: + Lens (EF-M 15-45mm IS STM + EVF-DC2)Verified Purchase

As an owner of multiple Canon SLRs I agonised for a while about whether to go for an EOS90D or the M6 MkII. I've been very pleased with my choice of the M6, but this is in part because I have a full frame SLR and several recent APSC ones as well. So I really can choose the best for whatever I am currently doing.

So pros vs an SLR:
Much more compact, but still with robust build quality
Uses all the same lenses with an adapter - and they all work fine, same quality, focus speed, aperture etc
Optional viewfinder gives you exposure preview, so you can see if you're under or over exposing
Fast focus, easy to adjust focus point with your right thumb when composing and see it move in the viewfinder
Image quality identical to an APSC SLR
Newer sensor has better dynamic range and very good noise control
FV Flexible Program mode is brilliant
Pop up flash can be tilted back with a finger to give usable bounce flash
Kit 15-45 lens is small and seems pretty good
Existing devices other than lenses work with it - e.g. remote control, batteries, external flashes
Built in interval timer is useful

Cons vs SLR:
You have to plug the viewfinder in to the hot shoe and I don't feel comfortable leaving it on in the bag
The screen only tilts, doesn't also pivot
Electronic viewfinder is a bit less natural to use than the normal optical one and its feedback on burning out highlights is suspect
No headphone socket for monitoring video (which the EOS90D has)
Not as natural for use in sports or other long lens photography

Overall this is brilliant camera which offers excellent image quality whilst fitting in a coat pocket. It's ideal for travel or street photography, fine for portrait if matched with the right lenses. I wouldn't use it so much for sports, although it will work well enough (but less easily than an SLR). I suspect I will mainly use it with the kit lens, but it's great to know that if I want t o put some of my L-series glass on it, I can.

I like Canon cameras and this has met my expectations of high quality. I am looking forward to taking some scenery images over the coming weeks but so far the quality of the image has been superb. My dislike is the Canon app for copying images to the phone which seems cumbersome and not particularly user friendly. Charger is efficient and battery lasts. Not tried video yet and tons more to explore. Very happy with the purchase.

Brilliant image-making device, but not the most compelling mirrorless system available

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 November 2019

Style Name: CameraPattern Name: + Lens (EF-M 15-45mm IS STM + EVF-DC2)Amazon Vine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )

I have given a lot of thought to what I would put into this review as the EOS M6 II is, to my mind, something of a mixed bag. I owned the mark I version of this camera some time ago, and I remember many reviews that came out at the time stating that the EOS M6 was not a good choice, mainly because the on-paper specs didn't compare well with alternative options. Then, a few months later, many of those reviews were walked back by the same reviewers saying how they had underestimated the camera and how it was possibly the best vlogging camera available. Specs are not everything, as any micro four-thirds owner will tell you. So I'm going to avoid specs-talk as much as possible and focus on what I believe matters in a camera. Full disclosure: I have been a Canon shooter for 21 years. I like the company, and continue to shoot with a Canon EOS 5D mark II occasionally. I have a collection of Canon EF lenses which I think are excellent, so I don't think I'll ever leave the Canon EF system completely. For my travel photography, I use micro four-thirds kit, which I also like an awful lot. Back to the EOS M6 II, though --

Pros:
- The image results are fantastic and the camera makes a compelling case to shoot in JPG only for all but the most demanding lighting conditions because the camera nails exposure and focusing very well and produces beautiful stills. The images have that lovely Canon colour signature which has superb balance; they are clean and sharp with natural skin tones and lovely contrast for blues and greens.
The APS-C sensor format has really matured and I would argue that the images from this camera as good as you are likely to ever need, for printing at any size. Ignore talk of depth of field because if you can't achieve the result you're after with APS-C, it's skills, not kit that is likely letting you down. Personally, I think that the 30mp+ size is a little OTT, but it does allow for a lot of cropping in post-processing. Fewer pixels could have meant even better high ISO performance, but really, the combination of the sensor and processor do allow for incredibly clean images at 1600 ISO, so I'm really not complaining.
- The ergonomics are excellent - which is vitally important for any camera, but especially so now that people are choosing phones over cameras for most shooting. The camera is beautifully sculpted to one's hand, with superb access to well labelled controls, all of which have a nice positive and damped action. The controls are all where you would expect them to be and the camera is really nice to use. The grip ensures a comfortable hold and the rear screen flips and tilts which lets you get interesting perspectives without having to get into awkward positions or shoot blind and hope for the best.
- Beyond the ergonomics, the graphical user experience is very good - and very familiar to Canon shooters.
- I'm no videographer, but the video files have a nice filmic-look and don't have the over-processed feel that some cameras produce.

Cons:
- Although APS-C is perfectly good sensor format, I can't say the same for the EF-M mount. I'm old enough to have owned the original Canon EOS EF-M film camera - a model that came right at the beginning of the autofocus EF-mount era, as Canon moved away from its manual only FD mounts. The EF-M camera had an EF mount, but no autofocus, hence EF-M(anual focus). This kept the body price down, but it was a solution to a problem that didn't exist because who was buying into EF for manual focusing? Here, we have Canon introducing a new mount for mirrorless APS-C cameras, which, although backwards-compatible with EF and EF-S lenses via a spacer/adapter mount, still means that you are buying into a new system. A system with very few native lenses to choose from. When using the EF/EF-S lenses with the M-bodies, you lose the size and weight advantage of mirrorless. I find it hard to recommend moving into the EOS M ecosystem because it's yet to establish itself as a keeper and you will have very little choice in terms of new glass.
- While I do love the ergonomics of the camera, it really DOES need the (included) electronic viewfinder. This EVF is a very fine device with sharp images, good refresh rate and punchy colours. It is a must for use in very bright or very dark conditions, but when you attach it, it makes the camera look ungainly and again, means that the size advantage of mirrorless is lost. The EVF attaches firmly and is a solid enough device, but I felt conscious of it the whole time I had it attached, as not being an original part of the body, I was worried about it catching or getting damaged. Attaching the EVF also means that you lose access to the flash mount because it connects to that. Perhaps many people are happy to use a rear screen for composing their photos, but I still much prefer a proper viewfinder, for many reasons. The execution of the EVF just doesn't work for me and it really adds too much to the cost of the camera body. Plus, it's ugly when attached. I would have preferred a built-in EVF, like the Panasonic GX or Olympus Pen-F cameras.
- The battery life is OK and not great when used for video and EVF. If you're buying this as a holiday camera, you should buy a spare battery.
- Despite the fairly high asking price, the camera is not weather-sealed. If this is a holiday camera, I would want it to be weather-sealed so I don't miss any shots.
- The kit lens is OK. In fact, it's probably better than OK with a light weight, nice controls and action, silent focusing and sharp optics - but it is a very average f3.5-5.6 which is not unusual at all, but again, for the asking price, other marques offer better lenses, from f2.8-4 range, to constant f4. If the camera was considerably cheaper, I wouldn't raise the issue at all, but at this price, I would expect a better lens and weather-sealing.
- The EF-M mount is, I'm sure, technically very good, but without the native lens line-up to support it, this is a hard system to recommend. None of the available lenses, except for the 32mm f1.4, are particularly desirable. While it may grow over time, I would think long and hard about buying into this system until it's established. That may be a chicken and egg conundrum, but if you don't mind being an early adopter with all the risks that entails, have at it. As I said, the results are great. However, to my mind, the reason I would buy into an interchangeable lens system rather than buying a high spec bridge camera or compact like the Sony RX 100s, is to be able to change the lenses and expand the system. Aside from some very average spec lenses, that's not really on offer here.

So, in isolation, a nice device capable of producing great stills and video. But an expensive item without an integrated EVF, without weather-sealing and a lens line-up that doesn't excite. If you don't plan to buy more lenses and you don't need an EVF, you will likely be very happy with this camera indeed. It really is a very good image-maker, but I don't think it's a very compelling package for the money. If I was looking for an APS-C mirrorless camera, I would look towards the Fuji and Sony cameras. If I wanted to stick with my Canon lens line-up (as I do), I will stick with the old, but still superb Canon body that uses the lenses natively, without the need for an adapter.

As it stands, I feel Panasonic, Olympus, Sony and Fuji all make a stronger case for small mirrorless camera systems, with better choice of excellent lenses and value for money.

Simply put if you get this with the electronic viewfinder this is probably one of the best cameras that Canon makes. Perfect for vloging and video production or high resolution/high burst rate photography. For best results add a Viltrox speed booster and an EF lens. If you want to mount a mic get the tiny rigs adapter. 4K no sensor crop auto focus is great. Very happy customer.

Can not zoom on self timer

Extremely disappointed. Bought camera for a trip to Egypt and had to take my own pictures of myself and used the self timer feature in outdoor setting during daytime. Not a single picture was focused. I tried 40 times and everything possible like pressing the screen on the area of my face to focus there. I ended up using my iphone and its self timer feature. I wasted 1000 pounds. Should have used to money to update my iphone instead. Too late to return this camera (didn't have my computer with me for the past 3 weeks). Also regret buying this camera because it was heavy to carry around.

ACHTUNG Kamera für den amerikanischen Markt

Reviewed in Germany on 7 November 2019

Style Name: CameraPattern Name: + Lens (EF-M 15-45mm IS STM + EVF-DC2)Verified Purchase

Ich habe Amazon zwar darauf hingewiesen, aber es scheint dort niemanden zu interessieren.
1. Die angebotene Kamera ist für den amerikanischen Markt und kommt mit einem amerikanischen Netzteil!!!
2. Der Preis für das Set ist bei Canon offiziell 1.199,- Euro, nicht wie hier ÜBER 1.300,- Euro

AMAZON wacht auch wenn euch Kunden auf Fehler aufmerksam machen !!!

Die Kamera selbst ist hervorragend, wenn es denn Canon mal hinbekommt, das Produkt OHNE Pixelfehler im Display zu fertigen (laut Canon handelt es sich dabei nicht um einen Mangel)!!! Ist so, als ob man sich einen Neuwagen kauft und der hat auf der Motorhaube einen Kratzer - aber er fährt ja. Wer so etwas akzeptiert ist selber schuld...
Meine Kamera ging aus diesen zwei Gründen wieder zurück. Sehr schade.

Sehr gute Kamera, nur nicht perfekt für mich

Reviewed in Germany on 2 March 2020

Style Name: CameraPattern Name: + Lens (EF-M 15-45mm IS STM + EVF-DC2)Verified Purchase

Vorab: ja, der Preis des Bundles liegt ca. 10% über dem üblichen Preis von 1.198€. Das weiß man aber vorher. Ich konnte mich immer auf Amazon verlassen und schätze die Möglichkeit, Ware 30 Tage lang zu testen, auch wenn ich sehr selten so lange dafür brauche.

Weiterhin liegt dem Paket für das Ladeteil ein Netzteil mit amerikanischem Stecker bei - nicht schön, aber das Netzkabel meiner Ladeschale für meine 70D passt wunderbar, ergo nur ein kleiner Kritikpunkt, wenn auch lästig: damit rechnet doch keiner.

Die Seriennummer der Kamera kann man bei Canon prüfen - die Prüfung ergab, dass die Kamera für den europäischen Wirtschaftsraum gedacht ist und somit - wie ich das verstanden habe - die Garantie gegeben ist.

Vom Bild-Counter her nehme ich an, keine neue Kamera bekommen zu haben, denn das erste Bild hatte die Nummer 368. Die Kamera schien aber wenigstens ordentlich zurückgesetzt worden zu sein. Das ist natürlich kein "Shutter Count", aber dieser lässt sich im Gegensatz zur 70D bei der M6 II nicht selbst auslesen - man kann also nicht prüfen, wieviele Fotos bisher mit der Kamera gemacht wurden.

Für alle Besitzer von Tamron-Objektiven: die drei Objektive SP 150-600mm f/5-6.3 SP VC USD, SP 70-200 f/2.8 VC USD (Gen1) sowie der Reisezoom 16-300mm f/3.5-6.3 VC PZD funktionieren über einen EF/EF-M Adapter problemlos, obwohl mir der Tamron-Service nicht sicher bestätigen wollte, dass diese Objektive an der M6 Mark II funktionieren. Es könnte allerdings sein, dass diese Objektive ggf. ein Firmware Update benötigen - einfach mal den Service anschreiben, Seriennummern mit angeben.

Beim 16-300mm musste ich allerdings in der Kamera die Farbfehlerkorrektur abschalten, sonst rechnete mir die M6 II derart heftige "Korrektur"-CAs ein, die so so garnicht auftauchen können. Wer ein bisschen googelt, findet dazu eine Service-Meldung bei Tamron, in der sie genau das empfehlen.

Weiterhin kann ich sagen, dass mein Sigma 17-50mm f/2.8 EX DC OS HSM ebenfalls problemlos funktioniert, genau wie alle Canon Objektive, die ich hatte: vom alten EF 85mm f/1.8 USM bis zu den relativ neuen STMs (24mm, 50mm, 10-18mm, 18-55mm, 55-250mm). Als Adapter hatte ich den günstigen von Meike für knapp 30€.

Um nicht zuviel zu schreiben - gute Reviews zu dieser Kamera gibt es z.B. von DPreview, ValueTech oder auch bei Traumflieger - möchte ich den AF hervorheben. Genau deswegen kaufte ich mir die M6 II. Sie sollte für "Schönwetter-Hobby-Tier/Vogelfotografie" meine 70D ablösen, deren AF nicht immer der schnellste/treffsicherste ist. Und genau dafür ist die Kamera klasse. Ob das ergonomisch Sinn macht, eine M6 II an ein 150-600mm Objektiv zu hängen, darüber kann sich jeder selbst eine Meinung bilden, aber die Ergebnisse dieser Kombination sind sehr, sehr gut.

Weiterhin bedient das EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM sehr gut den 32MP Sensor der M6 II. Und das Kit-Objektiv 15-45mm ist nicht so schlimm, wie jeder sagt - man kann es gut gebrauchen, vor allem dann, wenn man nicht viel Platz für eine Kamera hat (z.B. beim Wandern oder auf Motorradtouren).

Apropos Sensor: der ist nicht umwerfend viel besser als der meiner 70D - das ist natürlich nur mein persönlicher Eindruck im direkten Vergleich. Schatten lassen sich besser aufhellen, gut, aber sonst rauscht es nicht weniger in den ISO-Stufen und die Dynamik ist eigentlich sogar noch einen Ticken schlechter, aber das führe ich meine nicht ganz wissenschaftliche Tests zurück.

Zum Thema Blitz: ein Yongnuo 685 funktioniert tadellos mit der Kamera und lässt sich sehr gut über diese steuern, aber ob man diese kleine Kamera mit so einem großen Blitz über längere Zeit (z.B. Hochzeit) verwenden möchte, glaub ich eher nicht. Dennoch: technisch geht das, auch wenn man dann auf den Aufsteck-EVF (Electronic Viewfinder) verzichten muss.

Zurückgeschickt habe ich die Kamera, weil mich zwei Dinge sehr störten: zum einen ist das "Guckloch" des Aufsteck-EVFs einfach zu klein für mich. Ich bin Brillenträger und sehe durch das "Eintrittsglas" nicht das ganze Display darin, deshalb muss ich ständig mit der Brille quasi über die Gummilippe des EVFs "rutschen", um die Infos in den Ecken sehen zu können. Ohne Brille funktioniert das hingegen super, aber ich bin nicht ohne Grund auf eine Gleitsichtbrille umgestiegen und möchte nun zum fotografieren nicht wieder ständig die Brille auf und ab ziehen. Das hat übrigens nichts mit der Dioptrie-Einstellung zu tun.

Zum anderen funktioniert die Kamera mit dem EVF sehr gut, aber möchte man sie in die Tasche packen, dreht und wendet man die Kamera, um irgendwie eine Position zu finden, in der sie nicht nur reinpasst - sondern in der man auch nicht fürchtet, den EVF "abzubrechen". Natürlich würde mich genau das bei einer Canon-Kamera überraschen, aber wohl fühle ich mich nicht dabei. Es ist dann auch egal, ob man eine Tasche im Messenger-Style oder eine klassische Tasche hat. Aber vielleicht ist das nur eine Sache der Gewöhnung.

Hinzu kamen am Ende noch die Gerüchte um eine Canon R6, die vermutlich Mitte bis Ende 2020 kommen soll. Diese Gerüchte haben auf canonrumors.com die Kategorie CR3 und gelten als sicher. Die R6 wäre dann eigentlich genau die richtige Kamera für mich.

Somit kann ich sagen: die M6 II ist eine sehr, sehr gute Kamera mit einem äußerst guten AF, die somit sehr gut für Wildlife-Fotografie geeignet ist, sofern man mit dem fehlenden Wetterschutz leben kann. Sie ist meiner Meinung nach besser als die 90D, denn bei der ist der Phasen-AF dem DualPixel-AF unterlegen. Da die 90D aber "nur" einen optischen Viewfinder hat, wird das Fotografieren mit z.B. einem 150-600mm Objektiv rein über das hintere Display schlicht unpraktikabel.

Wer also nicht vorhat, auf eine Canon R6 zu warten, hat mit der M6 II einen klasse Allrounder, der in keiner Situation so schnell aufgibt.

Ich schließe mich aber einer anderen Rezession hier an und würde mir wünschen, dass Amazon den Preis für das Bundle M6 II + 15-45mm STM + DC2 Viewfinder wenigstens auf den Canon UVP von 1198€ senkt.
