Canon EOS M6 Mark II review: Do megapixels matter?

The M6 Mark II puts more power and pixels into Canon's compact EOS-M mirrorless line, but it fails to outshine the competition due to a lack of lenses and inferior low light performance. We love the improved Dual Pixel Autofocus and 14 fps continuous...

32.5 megapixels ; Compact, lightweight ; Good menu system ; Dual Pixel AF works for 4K video

The Canon EOS M6 Mark II wins on resolution, but how much do megapixels matter?

Canon M6 Mark II review: Incredible performance from a flawed flagship

Canon's M6 Mark II is a camera with two different faces. On the plus side, it delivers 14 fps burst shooting speeds, beating all of its rival products. It also has fast autofocus with eye- and face-detection that's good, though not quite up to Sony's...

Decent handling ; Blazing shooting speeds ; Good autofocus performance ; Detailed and color-accurate images

4K not as sharp as rivals ; Most EOS-M lenses not sharp enough for sensor ; No electronic viewfinder

For every positive of Canon's $850 M6 Mark II, it seems like there's an accompanying downside. With a 32.5-megapixel sensor, it has more resolution than any other APS-C camera, but many of the native lenses can't handle the resolution. You can shoot...

Canon EOS M6 Mark II review: Our favorite Canon mirrorless camera yet

With the EOS M6 Mark II, Canon has taken its midrange mirrorless game up a notch. Offering the highest-res APS-C sensor on the market, 4K video, super-fast burst shooting and comfortable ergonomics, the M6 II is compact and a real pleasure to shoot...

The Canon EOS M6 II is a more overtly photographer-targeted camera than its predecessor, gaining Dial Func control, a dedicated MF/AF switch and an AF-On button which combine to put just a little more control directly at your fingertips. And it ends up...

Canon EOS M6 Mark II

The EOS M6 Mark II marks a big step forward for Canon's APS-C mirrorless system, but the available lenses aren't as appealing as those offered by Fujifilm and Sony.

High-resolution 32.5MP sensor. 14fps burst rate. Quick, accurate autofocus. Face and eye detection. Flip-up LCD. 4K video. Bluetooth and Wi-Fi.

EVF isn't built in. Sensor isn't stabilized. Native lens library lacks premium options. Dumbed-down video options. Pricey.

Bottom Line: The EOS M6 Mark II marks a big step forward for Canon's APS-C mirrorless system, but the available lenses aren't as appealing as those offered by Fujifilm and Sony.

Canon EOS M6 II initial review: What's new and how it compares

The EOS M6 Mark II renews Canon's commitment to making small, enthusiast-friendly APS-C mirrorless cameras. With 4K video, 30 fps Raw bursts and additional controls, it's a big step forward from its predecessor. And perhaps more interesting than the...

Canon EOS M6 Mark II Review

Does a Lamborghini Huracan (pronounced "Hu rockin" and that is fun to say) make the background too distracting?

Canon EOS M6 Mark II Review

The Canon EOS M6 Mark II is a new mid-range mirrorless camera with a 32 megapixel APS-C sensor, 4K video recording, 14fps burst shooting, a tilting touchscreen and optional electronic viewfinder. Can it beat the likes of the Sony A6400 and Fujifilm...

Canon EOS M6 Mark II Review

Seven years ago, Canon launched the EOS M, its first entry in the mirrorless camera market. Although it was small, sleek and offered great image quality, that initial model suffered from slow burst shooting and weak autofocus.

Canon EOS M6 Mark II mirrorless camera reviewed: Performance, specs, and more

While each may have slightly different benefits (and drawbacks), it’s a fairly level playing field. Think about what’s most important for your shooting needs and make a decision from there. At the same time, there’s an awful lot to like about the Canon...
