If you were worried that Canon would ignore its APS-C mirrorless camera series after the introduction of the full-frame EOS R, your anxiety should be somewhat lessened by the EOS M6 Mark II ($849.99, body only), which debuts just about a year after the EOS R. It sports a new sensor with class-leading 32.5MP resolution, better 4K support, and improved autofocus compared with the last generation, the most recent model being the EOS M50. It's the best mirrorless camera Canon has made to date, but enthusiasts may be turned off by a scarcity of premium lens options. Where's the EVF? The EOS M6 Mark II comes with a price tag that's decidedly not entry-level—just $50 less than the Sony a6400 or Fujifilm X-T30, two cameras that are all but equal, and our Editors' Choices for shoppers looking in this price range. But it's missing one big feature offered by the competition—a built-in viewfinder—a design choice I think is a misstep. You can add an external viewfinder, but it's a bit of a cl...

The EOS M6 Mark II marks a big step forward for Canon's APS-C mirrorless system, but the available lenses aren't as appealing as those offered by Fujifilm and Sony.

High-resolution 32.5MP sensor; 14fps burst rate; Quick, accurate autofocus; Face and eye detection; Flip-up LCD; 4K video; Bluetooth and Wi-Fi

EVF isn't built in; Sensor isn't stabilized; Native lens library lacks premium options; Dumbed-down video options; Pricey

The Canon EOS M6 Mark II wins on resolution, but how much do megapixels matter

32.5 megapixels; Compact; lightweight; Good menu system; Dual Pixel AF works for 4K video

No built-in viewfinder; Poor high ISO performance; Limited number of EF-M lenses

Looking for the most resolution without going to full frame? The new Canon EOS M6 Mark II might be your best bet. With 32.5 megapixels, its sensor has almost a third more pixels than the much more common 24MP and 26MP APS-C sensors from Sony and Fujifilm. It’s the first big leap in resolution for crop-sensor cameras in several generations, but that doesn’t necessarily make it a worthy investment. Megapixels alone aren’t enough to sell a camera these days, and unfortunately the $850 M6 Mark II falls short in other areas. Given stiff competition from more established systems, it’s a hard sell. The Canon EOS M6 Mark II is a very compact and lightweight mirrorless camera, looking much like the company’s G Series point-and-shoots. It measures 4.7 x 2.8 x 1.9 inches and weighs 14.4 ounces without a lens It uses the EF-M mount, and there are still only eight native EF-M lenses from Canon. Fortunately, there’s an adaptor available that lets you attach the zillions of EF lenses floating around ...

The Canon EOS M6 Mark II is a great mirrorless camera, but it would be even better with a built-in viewfinder. The Canon EOS M6 Mark II is an appealing camera thanks to its image quality and high-speed performance.

Good image quality, Speedy performance, Easy to use

No built-in electronic viewfinder, No in-body image stabilization, Slow native lenses

This review is based on hands-on experience with a production Canon EOS M6 Mark II at a recent Canon media event (just under 2,000 images captured) along with information provided by Canon USA. Further updates and details will be added when the M6 II hits the streets.

The Canon EOS M6 Mk II is the updated version of the Canon EOS M6 that was first announced in February of 2017. While the M6 Mk II features a nearly identical exterior to its predecessor, much of the upgrades are within the camera's internals.

The Canon EOS M6 Mark II is a mid-range mirrorless camera with a 32.5 Megapixel APSC sensor, uncropped 4k video at 25 or 30p, 14fps shooting with autofocus, a tilting touchscreen and slide-on electronic viewfinder.

With a new 32.5MP sensor and the Digic 8 processor under the hood, Canon's new EOS M6 Mark II is all set to shove the EOS M5 to the side and become the brand's new APS-C mirrorless flagship.
