Pros: The very dense sensor, the m/ef ring that allows the use of ef optics, general compactness of the body, good grip, really a very performing miniature SLR, very comfortable screen much more than fully adjustable ones, possibility of crop, files accept important changes in pp

Cons: Battery life, obligation to use quality lenses and therefore voluminous and heavy, some small buttons that are activated without wanting, little tightness to other iso and especially if you get the exposure wrong, it has not been understood by the market

Opinion: Excellent condensed body of all the strengths and weaknesses of digital, but if you use level lenses you get incredible results, in fact you let yourself be deceived by the small size but in reality it is a reflex, probably even much better, in general I do not appreciate the arrangement of the buttons but it is cmq a subjective thing

Pros: Small, lightweight, photo quality, build quality, discreet iso resistance, AF, burst

Cons: few native M system optics; non-tilting screen not usable when mounted the viewfinder, autonomy

Opinion: I state that I am not a professional. I have been using this machine for almost a couple of years and I must say that it made me replace my first and bulky 1200D without too many regrets. I wanted a car that didn't give much in the eye and comfortable to carry during my travels and explorations; I must say that paired with the 9 mm Laowa f/2.8 and the 22 mm Canon f/2 becomes perfect for this purpose: it practically looks like a compact. Although there are not many native Canon M lenses, there are several solutions from other manufacturers (Sigma Contemporary series on all) and through adapter you can use all EF lenses (including L series); every now and then I use it with the Canon 17-55 f/2.8 even if in this case, in my opinion, given the size of the barrel, you lose a bit the sense of having such a small camera body. The 32 megapixel sensor churns out excellent files with a decent level of detail (even in crop) and that I often use even without post producing; I noticed the presence of a little noise already at low iso, but nothing annoying. The files are easily usable up to iso 3200 with some small correction in post. Every now and then I also went up to iso 6400 still managing to use the photos. Nice idea of being able to extract the viewfinder and use the screen as if it were a smartphone; however, with the viewfinder mounted, the tilting screen is practically unusable. The autonomy of the battery does not make you cry out for a miracle: I usually always carry a couple of batteries behind me. Ultimately I am overjoyed and I recommend the purchase especially to those like me who love to turn light.

Pros: excellent focus, good grip, 14fps burst (wanting 30), file quality, external EVF

Cons: screen not fully articulated

Opinion: after a couple of months of use I can say that I am extremely satisfied with the purchase. I took it despite knowing that soon the M line will die because I wanted to make the leap in MP and burst quality from my old 70D and I didn't want to wait for the new APS-C with RF attack. The thing I immediately liked about the car was the lightning and super precise focus, then now that I've also taken the 70-300 L IS USM it's a pleasure to go and take pictures of the animals. Another thing I liked is the separate EVF. Depending on what I do I keep it mounted or not (street photography and macro on easel I do not keep it, while birdlife yes). For birdlife it is very convenient to focus by looking into the viewfinder and touching the screen and using it as if it were a joystick. At high ISOs it holds up to 3200 ISOs quite well, beyond the files they are almost unusable. For macro photos I do I'm usually super happy because so natively I have bigger files to be able to print fine art without having to go into oversampling. Video side I haven't used it yet. During the purchase phase you have to almost compulsorily take the peak design plate that allows you to decentrall it, thus making the battery accessible by holding the plate attached, an additional battery, a UHS-II SD.

Pros: additional features from the M6: spot reading, focus bracketing, better grip, ready jpeg and more that you will find in the description ....

Cons: inaccessibility of the battery and board when it is on tripod .... REC button poorly positioned..

Opinion: History: I had the M6 (sold), the 7DII (sold), I thought of the R as the 2nd body ... relativizing my kind of photos (often square and B&W) and above all the current situation, also using a reflex, after reflection I decided for the M6II. I own (thanks Forumers) 22mm, 32mm, 28mm and DC2 plus the adapter of the first M, the more the possibility to use it with EF designed, it becomes perfect for my use. The sensor is the best of itself with EF (L), the image quality is better than the M6 and 7DII, from more details ... Not having the fixed viewfinder frankly is not a problem, I preferred compactness and all the adjustments under my fingers. Very happy with the purchase, after 6 months of use, I confirm that I am always happier with my choice.

Pros: AF, Sensor, Touch Screen, Lightness

Cons: Battery, REC key position

Opinion: The M6 MKII is a real gem, phenomenal sensor, good not to say great Dynamic Range up to 800 iso, fantastic recovery of shadows up to 3 stops without losing anything, on the lights I would say just under 2 stop. The noise is almost non-existent up to 800 Iso, very light and beautiful to see from 1000 to 3200, above 3200 up to 6400 light and the shots usable with a slight choreography in the post. Af amazing, very good traking and eye recognition. The only flaw is the battery life, I always take 3 spares to stay quiet. Beautiful focus stacking automation. My main body is the 7D MKII but the small one for sensor quality and therefore image maybe is also superior, also it is a pleasure to photograph us for its lightness seems not to have it. Rating 9.5 half a point less for the battery.

Pros: Compact and excellently handy, robust, well-finished, ultra complete in features, exceptional focus and quickness of click, fabulous touch screen monitor, battery of good grip compared to previous models up to 400/450 shots. Videos not yet explored. Canon's signature intuitive menu.

Cons: Maybe video rec button in a little annoying position....

Opinion: Personally I find it excellent, good value for money/performance. Good file quality in most situations. The machine gives an impression of robustness and the controls are definitely comfortable and intuitive except for the video rec button that for my big hands annoying in its position. You can have fun in all ways and the iso ratio is great even at high values.... I must say that I am very satisfied with the purchase and I look forward to making the most of its functions. I love it... After a few months of use I have to say fabulous..... I still use my inseparable 6D for particular photos... but lately for its practicality M6 markII....

Pros: It's canon... so canon colors in the first place...., 4k with dual pixel, new sensor from 32.5mpx, eye detection also in servo, etc etc etc.

Cons: ok, evf not integrated, video rec button that I preferred in the top position like the m50, for now nothing else...

Opinion: So, after the provisional betrayal with sony a6400 (where IQ and autofocus aside, I lacked too much jpeg canon and their colors), coming from a m50 where I mostly missed the 4k without dual pixels, with the output of the m6 mark ii (I did not expect this, but the m50 mark ii did not come unfortunately) I found it, and therefore my choice is mainly x this motif, and to find the canon jpeg, perfect colors already so and white balance almost infallible (as opposed to the sony ), but even if it happens has the processing of the raw in the room (the sony no!!!! , that is after the shot if you notice that wrong white bil, or sharpness, or colors, exposure , noise reduction etc... you can change it later directly in the room, and I find it a gem not a little). I reserve to add details about the images but already cn the m50 once custom profile (that car canon is all fuorch sharp), for now I wait the 22mm f/2 and the 50 stm f/1.8 with adapter, waiting better times to resume the top 32mm canon and 56mm sigma!

Pros: Compact and handy, sturdy, well finished, quality files, complete in functions. Intuitive menu.

Cons: It's addictive!

Opinion: Personally I find it excellent, considering the class of membership,. Great price/performance ratio. The quality of the files is excellent, raw very workable, impeccable jpeg in most situations. The machine gives an impression of robustness and the controls are comfortable and intuitive. Complete in the functions, you can have fun with technology. Great video compartment with real 4k format, no crop. In fhd you can choose from 50fps, 25fps,24fps. Even 100fps,but sacrificing in light crop. In conclusion a mirrorles to always take with you to face multiple situations.

Pros: Very compact-easily transportable and manageable. Image quality is superior to the sony series 6000 (6400) with faithful colors.

Cons: for now nothing

Opinion: The camera arrived yesterday with levf dc2 and the 11-22 mm so I had little time to set it and try it; just a few snaps in a hurry waiting to study better settings and menus. The small and very sharp lens is the winning pairing. The M6 MKII looks well made with the controls in the right place and the usual canon menu easily usable; updates are not available. What I can say after a couple of months of use is that it exceeded my expectations: high resolution, low noise, faithful colors; perhaps among the best in its segment.
