Conchita Fernandes puts Canon’s newest iteration, the EOS M6, on the test bench to see what’s different about it.
When the Canon EOS M5 was launched, it featured quite a few significant changes in its design and handling, and also displayed a superior performance. However, on the features front, it wasn’t on par with its competitors and moreover, it was heftily priced. Has Canon upped the ante with the new EOS M6? Let’s find out.
Features
The M6 has retained quite a few features from its predecessor. It comes equipped with the same 24.2MP APS-C sensor, along with a DIGIC 7 image processor, has an ISO range of 100-25,600 and a Dual pixel CMOS AF system (with 49 AF points), the latter enabling users to shoot fast live videos. It also features 7fps continuous shooting and 9fps, when the focus and exposure is locked. On the video recording front, the M6 features 5-axis stabilisation, which in conjunction with lenses featuring IS, will give you the benefits of stabilisation. Unfortunately, Canon has chosen to stick to the same 1080/60p resolution as that of its predecessor. There’s also a built-in microphone and the option of attaching an external microphone to the camera.
The M6 features a tilting LCD, but with a 3-inch screen (slightly smaller than the M5) and a lower resolution of 1.04 million dots. Also, unlike the M5 which could be tilted all the way down, the M6 tilts all the way up, making it convenient for those who are interested in shooting self-portraits and video blogs. The LCD screen also tilts 45° downwards.
