DPReview TV: Canon EOS M6 Mark II Review 

Maybe you could do a review of this camera with the speed booster and L lenses for us :)

Appreciate it! Love your lens reviews!

Best lens reviews on youtube!

Hey Christopher🤙🏽🤙🏽 so perfect to see a comment from my favorite lens reviewer on my favorite camera review channel!

Christopher do you know which lenses will use the full potential of the MP sensor for this camera? I'm thinking of the 35mm sigma art but open to recommendations

@@mikhailphoto31 lol

Lo es amigo. Tengo el 22, 28, 11-22, 55-200 y el 32. Y precisamente el 32 es el padre del resto de los lentes. El mejor !!

Jati Setiawan Not no, but heeeeelllll NO!!!👎

José Colón m.dpreview.com/reviews/canon-ef-m-32mm-f1-4-review/2

has abberation issues at 1.4. Thats eough to make it a no buy

Especially when Jordan crawl and cry like a baby on the ground. Honestly I don't really care about cameras, what I like to watch is these guys introducing gears.

Are you have any other lenses better for m6 ii

Ikr!

Yeah, tilting EVF is very nice indeed! Surely more fragile, but can be truly useful. I really like it for low angle shots (which itself is often quite refreshing change to usual), but also sometimes when working with a tripod. I go in weird angles with the ballhead and tilting EVF can save the day. Good stuff!

@@villemononen5303 Honestly, tilty/rotatable EVFs on hybrid mirrorless cameras should be a lot more common by now.

But the screen tilts...

Patrick Rose Canon made a tiltable EVF for the M series. I have it on my M6. I chose that over the newer non-tiltable one for low to the ground work.

Interestingly though, the Canon EVF-DC2 doesn’t have a tilt facility. The larger, earlier EVF-DC1 does and it is probably compatible (both units have been compatible with previous Canons that take an accessory EVF).

Gordon Laing interested if the ef-s 10-18 would be good on this camera. Any thoughts? I am thinking about replacing my 60D with this one

@@eddimaruyama it's cheaper than the EF-M 11-22mm, but obviously bigger especially with the adapter.

Gordon and Chris: What are your thoughts on how the EF-M 22mm will work with the new sensor?

doogieham Chris talked about this on the video. Resolving more than 24MP on an APS-C sensor is very difficult-and it’s perhaps the main reason APS-C has remained at 24MP for so long on so many cameras. Recently Fujifilm moved all the way up to 26MP, and Samsung swing for the fences with 28MP back in the day. I think 32 is overkill (almost as much as 80MP on FF will be).

Gordon Laing The rolling shutter should be better in video since Canon isn’t supersampling their footage from 6K to 4K, but is instead using good ol’ 2012-era line skipping, and it’s soft image quality. Also, 15mm on an EF-S sensor is like 16mm on other brands’ APS-C cameras (like Sony and Fuji, the latter of which *does* have a true 15mm zoom kit lens).

I'd love to do a BTS episode in the future! After spending some time with the camera, we do a short bullet-point outline of information that needs to be covered, then Chris and I spend a meal arguing over what our opinions are. We rarely have a crew, except for our Wooden Niccolls episodes. We use small lights when necessary, either a LumaHawk Shadowless 300 Round LED, or an Aputure COB 300D. Chris edits his Raw files, and sends them off to me, and I edit the episodes. Full length reviews are generally two days of post, and shorts are a day. Hope this gives you a bit of insight into our process, thanks for the kind words!

aumrdoc I don’t think it’s overkill when you’ve sold tons and tons of S35 cinema cameras that also need a 16-55mm f/2.8 stabilizer lens also.

how is menus and ergonomics on ur a6400 :)?

Can someone get on this, please?

@@thatjordandrake 😍

Camera Conspiracies fan? Same here, man, same here. Where's the Canon hammer?

have u found one and which is it?

I was aware I'd be alienating a lot of viewers with that...

I got it and it was AWESOME

Yep. That song was banned on Canadian Radio in 2011.

@@hankroest6836 why??

@@Raychristofer Best not to say anything here. The facts can be seen - at least at the moment I write this - in Wikipedia under Money for Nothing - the song.

But you start to trade weight for performance and at that point why not go for the RF system, seeing as you are going into a price range that's obviously higher than this intended market? Mirrorless doesn't just mean more compact bodies, it also means great quality lenses that can be smaller. See for example Sony's new 35 1.4 and 20 1.8. Also Nikon's doing a great job with these.

Yeah, and at this price you pay all the Money for Nothing!

Oh my god, maybe 12p or even 6p would be even "more cinematic"? I predict 60p as the soon to come "bare minimum", and a standard. Gaming monitors have even 144 Hz refresh rate, because... slower frame rates are visible to human eyes.

Ivan Savkov I think no matter what the lack of a crop gives the M6 II the win

The lack of a flip-out screen makes it a rather bad vlogging camera. The tilt screen it has is completely useless if you want to use a shoe-mounted external microphone and have it on a tripod.

You can simply use smallrig to mount mic on the left side.

@@user-mx5kt1wj1e I have a very important question, please answer quickly with regard to the microphone. Is it possible to connect the microphone Rode to this camera or not compatible with it? I want to use a wireless microphone Thanks for your understanding

What about sigma 16mm and 56mm

inter milan I think that's jpeg bro

lots of light there though. noise doesn't really happen in these conditions

I really doubt it.

Sting sung that part... he might be proud. Maybe he has lower standards...

The drumming impressed me even more than the singing.

Hank Roest That’s good, because I’d call myself a drummer but never call myself a singer.

It doesn't have EFCS. The 90D has. I will do a test this weekend to see how bad the shutter slap could be. Both hand hold and on a heavy tripod.

Han He The M6 Mk2 does in fact have EFCS. It's in one of these reviews around here (panning issues). Also, I saw it in action at photoplus. All good. The panning stuff sucks but it's better than only relying on the shutter. these bodies are no longer made of metal, so if your lenses is too light, it will be blurry pics everywhere. M50 suffers from this greatly

I am thinking to pair the eos m6 Ii with Tamron SP 24-70mm f/2.8 Di VC USD G2 Lens for Canon EF. Yes you need an adapter.

Yes , it still looks excellent , every video with GH5 just looks amazing . But i suppose we should probably give some credit to the bloke/s behind the camera too ;) .

everyone says it can't focus so I didn't buy it.

mikldude agree the content and operator make a big difference.

Allan Sh I’ve enjoyed my GH5 so far, I think quite a few RU-vid people use the GH5

Shoutout to GH3 also. Nice 1080p, cheap and reliable. Case in point -> ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gDhVLdNHIYo.html

X-T30 is at the same price range as m6 mk2 🤔

@@Ra-Hul-K sure, how about the lenses?

@@toast1797 sure.. canon does have that advantage.. even if the M system doesn't have enough lenses, plenty of EF & EF-S lenses are available.. but adapter+large lenses add to the bulk..

It just means that you wont get the "full 32mp" out of the image. i mean you will get 32mp photo. but the lense would not be able to show all the sharpness details that the sensor is capable of. it doesnt mean that the lens gets worse, it just doesnt get much better than on other M bodies.

check out DxOmark page where it shows you the specs on cameras and lenses and what you can expect to get out of each combo.

Fuji X-T30 body is cheaper than M6 Body w/o viewfinder. Fuji's 35mm 1.4 is cheaper than 32mm 1.4 M, 35 f2 is way cheaper than 32mm 1.4 m, Fuji 50-230mm is cheaper than 55-200 m...28mm macro...well not sure where you get your prices. And you can use big canon lenses with adapter as well %)

@@iddeegee X-T30 is cheaper, but that's plastic body with bad grip and small viewfinder. And 15 minutes Full HD limit - it overheats because of plastic. Current price - 999 USD at BH for 15-45 kit. Canon M6 II 15-45 kit vith viewfinder - 1099. Not much of a difference. Fuji 35/1.4 is a bad lens with very slow AF. Current price - 599 USD. Canon EF-M 32mm/1.4 - $479. Fuji 35/2.0 - $399. With simple lens design from a film era it should cost $200 or $250 for WR, okay. Fuji 50-230 - $399. Canon EF-M 55-200 - $349.

Mad English TV because not a lot of people watch all the reviews and rumors about the future of a system. They know canon they buy canon. Also if the consumers support the system I am confident canon will also do.

@The Oculist They are clearly aiming for everything RF, so I don't think so

@The Oculist Count the number of native lenses since the start of EF-M and RF. You'll get your answer. EF-M is deader than M43. Fact.

What's better to buy

@@professionalpotato4764 They didn't make more lenses because they figured most people who run this type of camera are not "professionals". Aside from that, I am not sure why anyone cares about the number of lenses so much when there are good EF lenses you can adapt to this system. The Canon 100mm F2.8 'L' macro works perfectly for me with the stupidly expensive adaptor. Yes, you are losing light, but just buy a good lighting system. The EF-S lenses that they speak of ARE designed for crop sensor cameras, but are not as tack sharp, and this sensor NEEDS tack sharp.

The way reviewers treat this issue...especially DxO...is a pet peeve of mine. Lenses do not "cap" sensors (or vice versa). Final resolution of an imaging system is always going to be less than the weakest component, but improving ANY component improves the final result. Note that this is not an opinion, it's scientifically demonstrated and the formula for computing it can be found online. What does this mean in the real world? In the case of a M6 II the final image using a 15-45 zoom may not be as good as when using, say, a Sigma ART lens. But it will be better than the 15-45 on the old M6. So if you were happy with prints from the old M6 and 15-45 you are not going to be disappointed with the same lens on this new camera.

zoltan4113 both IS. I don't mind having an 85mm F1.4 also

@goollink You forgot the built-in 1.4x TC.

Nico Bien I don’t know why Fuji has been the o my lens maker to do this. Sony’s recent 16-55mm (a 15-52mm on Canon’s smaller 1.6X APS-C sensors) was 8 years late, a total surprise, lacking IS, and way overpriced-I don’t care how awesome it is... Sigma or Tamron should drop a new 16-55mm f/2.4 mirrorless zoom with IS, and make a killing with it...

@goollink And a small crane to carry it :D

Canon has a 15-45 f2.8 on their apsc g1xm3 that's only 1 inch wide. They have the technology but are not aware of what their customers want.

Nothing is as slow as the Sony. To be fair to Canon we are also dealing with larger files too.

@@niccollsvideo Thanks, Chris! Are you allowed to say if you're going to do a new generation midrange APS-C shootout between the M6ii, A6400, and X-T30?

Lenses for the RP will cost you eight times more and the only advantage RP would have over the M6 MK ii would be the full-frame sensor.

@@snowwalker9999 err you can adapt EF glass and the RF glass will be *substantially* faster than most of the EF-M line up. Also the RF glass will be optically excellent, whereas most of the EF-M are good to adequate.

@@ryankwan1934 I know they are way better than ef-m glass but I just thought your concern was the cost.

I am also thinking about getting that camera after the new firmware. I heard the new software has turned that camera into a great video cam. Watch Peter Forsgard, Red35 Photography and Kinotika's review on that.

A bit of a narrow topic, but I've got that camera so I'd love to hear what JD thinks of FW3.1 too. Especially if he has some tips for getting the most out of it - which, of course, he will.

Also curious who makes the strap. Looks nice.

Maybe canon is making new M lenses too. It just doesn't make sense. T

This would be nice with those Sigma primes whenever they get efm mounts.

Well basically we said it in this video, the 32mm and 28mm M lenses should work well. We might review the sigma primes trio coming out soon but those should do a good job too. Canon needs to make a good pro like zoom though, desperately.

@@niccollsvideo thanks, I have a 28-105 redline EF mount. Will there be any issues using this lens with m6 mkii?

@@garygiles63 None at all Gary! Other than a crop factor of course.

@@niccollsvideo thanks

Still hoping for an M6 Mark II here.... Or maybe have the M50 move up the product line up for it's Mark II version.
