great video and love the comments at the end, the prediction that canon will abdonden the ef mount came true, but you're right, don't always need to look for anupgrade or the next thing that comes out
I managed to snag the camera (with kit lens), EVF, cage, MicroSD card, SD card reader, original battery and charger, and two after-market batteries (with charger), strap, manual, and original box for $719. pretty please with my purchase. Original owner only used it on one vacation.
Just bought a "as new" second hand M6 mk2 body for 300 dollar. Really great camera with an amazing sensor. Great lightweight walk arround camera to combine with my EOS 7d mark ii. A
Instead of getting the 55-250mm EFS, get the native Canon EF-M 55-200mm lens. It's not much different but it's smaller and it doesn't need any adapter.
Great review Jacob, I am thinking of returning to this system due to its lightness and portability, you may have just made the decision for me. cheers buddy.
For me after wanting the EVF forever and attaining one, I found my tired eyes preferred just using the screen on the back. Most of the time I am in some sort of tilt screen angle couldn't do with EVF IMO they might want to consider removing the viewfinder on the M50 and make it more compact than it already is? Before my M6 MII purchase I was using the Canon M3 which has same 24 mega pixels as the M50 paired with adapter / EFS 55-250 STM glass both obtaining very close results EXCELLENT! If you are only using camera for pictures refurbished M3 can be found on Amazon for about $250 bananas I have purchased two of them the first looked to be brand new the second thrashed and also returned without question.
Youre pretty close to my setup, I got the 11-22, the 32 1.4 and the 55-250 IS STM. 3 small lenses that covers nearly everything you could ever wish for :)
Pretty sensible choice. With all the nice new gadgets being introduce there'll always be some great finds on the pre-owned market and the M6 Mk2 is no slouch
I got only the Kit lens (15-45mm) and a Classic 50mm F1.8 STM attached through the EFM adaptor. And a small question Jacob if tilting the flash up and triggering do any harm for your flash or camera or the connecting thingy ? coz its a life saver in some situations to get a smooth light off the white ceiling 7:16
The Sigma 16mm f/1.4 is an excellent landscape lens for this camera, it's probably my most used lens on it. The Laowa 65mm f/2.8 lens resolves incredibly also and does make an outstanding sharp slight telephoto landscape lens also. I've been a full frame shooter for years but have completely fallen in love with this lightweight and fun M6ii kit! It's unbelievably good with the right lenses.
I’ve heard great things about the 16mm Sigma too! I just got the 9mm Laowa and am excited to get out with it. I’ve been super impressed with the M6 ii and, while I keep thinking I need to upgrade to full frame, I think this is truly the best balance of size/weight and performance.
I have this camera, still love it, still hate how the screen when flipped up you can't touch the bottom buttons then when you try and move it it flips upside down again haha
I had the EX4 Fujifilm, it seemed so unprofessional to me that I swapped it for the M6M2. I've always had a Canon full frame and wanted a small camera.
Lovely review. Thanks. However I have an observation. You should not convert aperture using the crop factor of the camera. The EF-M 22mm F2.0 lens remains F2.0 itself and aperture conversion @ 2.0x1.6 shouldn't be done.
I agree in terms of the effect the aperture has on exposure, but the conversion is helpful in comparing various lenses/sensor sizes because it gives appropriate expectations of depth of field or background separation. Thanks for watching!
I have this Camera but not sure about the Canon 50mm f/1.8 STM lens I got for Christmas. It does not seem to fit 😕 the kit lens doesn't give me sharpness so I thought I needed a 50mm. So my family gave me one now it won't fit.
Hi Daphne, you'll need an adapter that goes between the 50mm lens and the camera. Canon makes one specifically for this purpose, but there are other manufacturers that produce near identical ones for a lot less $$. There's a quick mention of the adapter in the video.
The only draw back I wish they would of let you get autofocus when you record in 1080p 120fp..besides that I used two of them for wedding videography n sports photos along with Canon xf400..great overall camera keep up the great work
Thanks for the feedback! The lack of autofocus in 120p is definitely a downside, especially since it is likely just a software limitation that Canon added.

Thanks! Very useful information but would be nice to show some example photos for each lens you are talking about 👌🏼

Just picked up a used m6 mkii with 22mm. Cannot wait to use it….

i love this camera...it is perfect for traveling light! and the image quality is excellent.

Not harmful at all! The flash is designed to be bounced off the ceiling like that. It is a lifesaver indeed!
@@93trekbiker Whoa man Thanks finally I can use this without fear. In fact I am using this to trigger my secondary flash as optical slave 👍👍

Don’t we need an adapter for most the lens u mentioned?
The M6II has FV mode. I like the FV mode.
Very interesting and honest review. Very helpful thank you 😊

Good afternoon, can you please tell me which profile you are using (settings for sharpness, contrast, etc.)?
The video is from an iPhone 13 Pro with slight color correction.
Lovely review. Thanks.

If you want to experience Ultra Wide get a Laowa 9 mm Ultra Wide for the EF-M mount
@@MrChris-bx7ss I’ve been tempted to try that one myself. I wish the 11-22m was just a bit wider like the 10-18mm for EF-S
@@MrChris-bx7ss I agree, it's an outstanding lens and one can get quite creative with it.
I've got similar set up, I miss 11-22 mm and 18-150 mm only. I agree, it is a very nice economic system, I hope Canon will continue with M system.
bro I like that video but had to stop watching after 8 min. listening that same guitar riff again... (which I really liked first 30 seconds...)
Guy, the music. Holy shit. Mix it up a bit. I know the music is far from the main focus but the same little section over and over was distracting.
Step into the next level of ultrawide.
Laowa 9mm ultrawide no distortion EF-M f2.8 lens.
Interesting info but dude have a cup of coffee before you film. You need some energy.
I rather prefer his delivery compared to so many of the spastic ones on here.
Mate I have a m6 mii you need to use top notch lens that can resolve this sensor end of this camera eats sub standard lens for breakfast
