What is your opinion about the Canon M6 Mark II?
I'm using it.... and makes great photos and videos
Its great. I got it very recently and my current setup is this: (I am a 14 year old photographer based out of the UK)
The camera Body (Canon M6 Mark II)
The Lens (EFS 60mm Canon Ultrasonic Macro lens)
A view finder (EVF-DC2)
A Lens mount adapter (EF-EOS M canon adapter)
And I use 32 gig SD cards.
@@dj_mango8454 Great! I started getting serious about photography when I was 14 years old. Back then, I had a much less capable camera, an Olympus E-410 - a DSLR that didn't even record video. So, enjoy your Canon M6 Mark II; you have a great camera. The other gear you've mentioned is nice too.
@@cameraexplorations I started when I was 12 on a Canon Eos 500d which has served me well.
Very concise, no annoying music, no annoying intro or graphics, straight facts and demonstration, great video!
Glad it was helpful! I appreciate you observations, it is an encouraging comment! All the best!
I've been using this camera since 2021 and still going strong!
The choice of lenses are Tamron 18-400mm with EF-M adapter and Samyang 12mm and with those I've managed to capture many great shots!
M6 Mark II is my choice as long as it lasts!
Since the Canon M6 Mark II came out, I’ve said to myself 'What more could I need from a camera?' - It is excellent now and will be good enough many years from now, so I completely understand why this camera is your choice for as long as it lasts. You also chose some nice lenses. All the best to you! Enjoy your gear!
in my opinion probably still the best camera for traveling light. the EF-M18-150, 11-22 and 32 mm F/1.4 combo is perfect for the purpose. With adapter and L series lenses it becomes a monster! The video side is also discreet and by choosing a neutral profile it produces files that are very workable in post production even if we are not talking about 10 bit; it's really a shame that Canon has decided to discontinue the M series; perhaps not even Canon had understood its potential!
I like the way you concluded your idea, the last phrase, and I agree with everything you wrote! Now, as I'm typing, I stopped at a pub after work to see some friends. I have 6 cameras at home, but guess what's in my bag? That's right, the M6 Mark II. Glad to see you recognize and appreciate this camera's potential! Even if we'll not see EOS M cameras, hopefully Canon will launch a EOS R camera with the same shape as an M6 Mark II.
Thanks for sharing the reviews. 1 LIKE for the video. Greetings from Singapore.
Thank you very much! Greetings!
great video. I’ve owned one of these bad boys since 2021 and I LOVE it . I’ve done professional work with it, and taken it on trips and it’s so portable and a joy to use even to this day. I found myself recommending one to my brother on Wednesday but I was hesitant for pretty much all the reasons you stated in the video. I gave him fair warning but for me, I’m in no hurry to move to the R mount
Thank you! I'm happy to hear you like the M6 Mark II, even though you're mindful of its limitations. Despite those, it remains a reliable camera, which is why I'm also in no rush to switch to the R mount.
I currently been using this for all my UA-cam aviation videos since 2021 with EF - EFS lenses....nice little camera....I have my eyes on the Canon R8 for a future upgrade...nice video and greetings from the Caribbean :) !!!
Ah, the Caribbean! :D I've been there when I worked as a photographer on one of the cruise ships! I set foot one a couple of islands, beautiful places! Good luck with your channel! Nice shots! I'm glad the M6 Mark II serves you well and the R8 will be a great update! Good choice! Best wishes to you!
Thanks :) @@cameraexplorations
This camera with the sigma ef-m primes are a potent combo.
Yes, I agree
the best UA-cam A-roll camera.
I own one. I love it. I use it as a travel camera were the small size is a major benefit. Not only the camera, but the lens as well. The weather sealing would have been great, because it did get splashed and I had to send it in to Canon for repair.
My main question is - what is the alternative to the M6 mark II? Did Canon come out with a slightly larger mirrorless camera? Do I need to switch to another vendor for a pocket sized professional grade camera with interchangeable lenses?
Good questions! The M6 Mark II was and still is a great camera - it is the best at this size, comfortably fitting in the pocket. Sony has the A6000 series, very similar to the M6 Mark II, but their rubbery viewfinder can cause issues in the pocket. You can try one of those Sony cameras or opt for the newer cameras Canon released: Canon R10 (quite small, but without weather sealing), Canon R7 (bigger, but it has weather sealing). The M6 Mark II was one of a kind; unfortunately, nothing beats that small size + performance at the moment.
I just bought one. And yes I know about the lenses and EoL obviously. But I got mine with two of The Sigma Prime's and a bunch of the original EF-M's that covers more than I want. For what i do, the 22mm and the Sigma 56 1.4 do 90% of what i ever need. I guess if you are in the hobby of collecting lenses you will be in trouble. But how many lenses does one really need?
Enjoy your M6 Mark II ! Regarding the need for lenses, good question!
It is still my best camera. I also made my own picture style for photos and video.
Your best camera is a great camera! The M6 Mark II will still be competitive (one of the greats) for another 2 years. Enjoy it! Nice that you made your own picture style!
@@cameraexplorations you forgot the 0 after the 2 LOL
@@tonykeltsflorida 😁
Best camera, i got for 500$. Beast camera. High megapixel, uncrop 4k video. just amazing. I make a video from my trip use M6 mark ii and 7artisan lens. All in my channel.
I dont mind big ef lenses on my m6 ii , it is 33 megapixels, worth any penny spent haha
Yes, it's always nice to have 33 megapixels 😀
I don't know, but the Olympus Pen has been going strong since 2008 and sees no end in sight.... (I now have the E-PL 10 & lots of lenses).
Yes, the Olympus PEN E-PL 10 is also nice, I like it! Similar shape with Canon M6 Mark II.
What is a good altnertaive
Canon R10 or, even better, Canon R7, in my opinion.
Awesome camera for street photography 🤟
Yes! 👍
Hey man in this 2 cameras which camera should i buy in 2024??
Pls reply 🙏
Eos m6 mark 2 vs m50
Performance-wise, The M6 mark 2 is definitely better.
@@cameraexplorations Please tell me which used camera should i buy??
192 $ eos m100
368 $ eos m6 mark 2
Can eos m cameras use ef-s lenses?
With a Viltrox adapter (EF/ EF-S to EF-M) . I use a EF-S 24mm pancake lens with my M6II
Yes, if you get one of the EF to Eos M Adapters.
I use efs on it 18-135 f3.5 to 5.6 with adaptor
@@mbismbismb do you use exposure compensation to make up for the higher f stops?
@@tonykeltsflorida how about the autofocus speed with the adapter?
Still the best APS-C camera that Canon makes.
Yes, or better say "one of the best", next to Canon R50, Canon R10 and Canon R7.
@@cameraexplorations I’d still say best because you might as well get a full frame if you get an RF mount camera. The M6ii is basically an R7 in a more compact body and mount.
@@stonewp Ah, okay. With this extra information, I see your point now.
It's a EOL system...
Yes, that is true. I mentioned this in the video, but it still is a good camera for the reasons also mentioned in the video.
What is EOL? I only know EOS
