I took an eos-m to Maui in 2022. It is a good travel camera. It is now my backup to my m6 mark II. I don't use Magic Lantern. I have 2 ef-m, 1 ef-s and 3 EF lenses.
Got one for 250 bucks few years back with a 35mm 1.4 footage was really great , i did 1080p and upscaled it to 4k This mode didnt have much noire like other modes did.
It was dark in photo mode? Was your f stop small? Iso low? I don't get what your saying about not buying third party stuff? Like a adapter? What third party accessories would corrupt a SD card?
ahaha no nothing like that. simply changing modes changed the screens brightness even with all the same settings applied. and i’m talking about third party software not hardware. any third party software could potentially corrupt an sd card
It definitely depends on what you use it for but for photos, vlogging, or using it as a webcam i’d say it’s amazing for the price! i believe so but you might want to check canons website for compatibility.
grate video . you should probably tell people you are using a gimbal. some people might think thay can get amazing footage like you have with just this camra and lens.
You could get these exact same shots with steadicam or a dolly so I don't typically disclose that info. I doubt anyone who's ever held a camera is gonna think a small pocket sized camera with no IBIS would look this smooth anyway ahaha
Thanks for this honest review. In my opinion I've yet to see any footage out of the EOS M raw that i'm impressed with. Lots of weird aliasing and odd color but being compared to Arri's and Red's like... what the heck haha.
@@WhiteJadeProductions Exactly! It's exactly that! And for what it is, it's pretty awesome (especially that the custom firmware is community driven) But seeing it compared to Arri's is just plain "emperors new clothes" haha
@@unbroken1010 Yes. I watched the video. I was saying how I like how he's reviewed it for what it is and not compared it to full blown cinema cameras. I think it was a fair comment!
@@WhiteJadeProductions that is indeed the trade off. I often joke to myself that if this workflow were required for any modern cinema camera, no one would buy it 🤣🤣🤣. I accept the process if only for the discounted cost
@@unbroken1010 the built in 1080p that comes with the camera is not the same as the magic lantern files that are generated when you film with magic lantern. It makes its own special container which then needs to be transcoded to something else before it's usable.
Because it is cheaper than most lenses, and you can still adapt most glass to it while keeping the form factor. This camera is 12 years old, so it has quirks and character all its own, but I’m finding the M6 Mark II covers most of what you need that you’d find in newer RF mount APSC cameras, where the EOS M is great for raw video and vintage characteristics, without the expense of other high end cinema cameras.
The Mount might be ditched, but blackmagic and cinemacameras in general rely on old mounts for a long time. There was not a lot of Detail about this EOS M Camera. But i think, you would be better of with a pocket 4k alike for a convinient Video focused camera. Espicially if you want ti stop using autofocus. 😅 This camera is still interesting to me, but like a lot of toys, i don't see worthy usage in any time.
Canon never supported this camera family very well with native lenses that pop on right out of the box. The whole point of this camera to me is to get adapters to open up your lens choices. With adapters you can mount almost any lens ever made.
@@dlprod11 interesting... I just looked and couldn't find it either. its very much a hard piece of gear to find but there are other brands that make similar half-grips for the eos M!
@@quitethecontrary1846 that is somewhat true for this method of achieving a "grainy" look, but not for actual film. this camera is mostly bought for specifically that filmic look so it makes sense to slightly underexpose to achieve the best result in this case.
@@WhiteJadeProductions I under stand that.....but my point is...The color space / profile of a specific film stock is completely different than its "grain" look though...a "grainy look" is only achieved by NOT exposing properly...both with film and digital... I just know from experience that film is much sharper than any digital sensor of the same size because silver halide grain is microscopic and pixels are not... also why when a drum scanner is used on film..you can "pixel peep" the image..which is not possible with a digital RAW image...
@@quitethecontrary1846 I understand what you're saying and I totally agree but people get this camera for the grain. I'm not out here teaching how to properly expose. if you are buying this camera you should already know how to do that. I'm simply showing how its flaws are used best.
