Much like the EOS M line as a whole, the original Canon EOS M6 was easy to like, but difficult to love. With Canon’s APS-C mirrorless camera range having seemingly plateaued at 24.2MP, there were only so many bells and whistles that could make the M6 feel exciting – things like 4K video, which were sadly absent.
That left the M6 with that awkward ‘second camera’ tag; it was good enough to be your backup camera, or the one you took out when picture quality wasn’t quite as important, but it wouldn’t really demand your attention beyond that.
Well, you can officially throw that line of thinking out the window. With all the tech that comes across our desks, it takes a lot for a camera to impress us these days– the M6 Mark II, however, took us completely by surprise with what it can do.
The new powerhouse 32.5MP sensor gives this camera a higher resolution than its big sibling, the Canon EOS R. In fact, the M6 Mark II packs more megapixels than any Canon body save the 50MP 5DS/R – not at all bad for the supposedly humble APS-C format.
Indeed, not only does the M6 Mark II outmuscle the EOS R in the resolution stakes, but it also outperforms it in a number of other departments – not least its freakish 14 frames-per-second continuous shooting mode, and the fact that it can shoot 4K video without any crop factor.
