Canon EOS M6

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.

Video tops out at 1080p. Focus can struggle in dim light.

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....

Canon EOS M6 Review

The Canon EOS M6 is a 24MP APS-C mirrorless camera. Essentially an updated M5 shorn of a viewfinder, has Canon finally made an enthusiast-worthy small-bodied mirrorless? Read more

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...

For the EOS M6, Canon strips down the M5

This cut-price version of Canon's flagship mirrorless should probably be a little cheaper.

Canon EOS M6 Review

If you are looking for an extremely high image quality to camera size ratio, the Canon EOS M6 may have your name on it. While the M6 is a tiny camera, it gives up nothing in terms of image quality to any of Canon's other current APS-C sensor format EOS...

Canon EOS M6 Review

It took me a while to warm to the Canon EOS M6, but the more I used it the more liked it. The camera sits in the hand nicely and a real strong point is its intuitive layout and controls that can be customised to suit one’s shooting preferences.

Canon EOS M6 Review

The 24-megapixel APS-C image sensor and DIGIC 7 image processor help deliver good image quality and impressive overall performance, but the Canon EOS M6 has to separate itself from not only its EOS M5 sibling but very good mirrorless cameras from...

Enthusiast-oriented compact camera body; Good image quality in most situations; Impressive Dual Pixel CMOS AF; Very good overall performance.

Dynamic range and high ISO image quality aren't quite up to par with some of its competition; No 4K video recording; Video features in general are underwhelming; Native EF-M lens selection is limited.

Canon M6 Review

Canon has been making cameras for a nearly 70 years and with each new model, brings better technology and improved designs and form factors. Over the past couple of years, mirrorless cameras have been on the rise and Canon has kept up with their M...

Overall, I did like using the M6 and it was one of the first mirrorless cameras I’ve used. After using the M6 for a couple of weeks, I’m not sure I’m totally sold on mirrorless cameras. I realize the M6 probably isn’t the absolute best mirrorless...
