Years ago, one could only dream that there would one day be a compact-sized camera that comes with functions and quality of a DSLR. Today, it is no longer a dream. The new EOS M6 is a testament to the possibility of having cutting-edge technologies in a small camera body. It means better quality photos, more versatility in shooting both still images and videos, and most importantly, the operability and portability that comes along with it.

EOS M6 comes in a Graphite Black body and a Vintage Silver body

The beautiful EOS M6 is packed with exceptional features such as the Dual Pixel CMOS AF, Combination IS, a powerful image stabilisation technology that reduces camera shake when shooting movies; AF tracking and high-speed continuous shooting of up to 7 fps for capturing fast-moving subject; 3 dials and a controller wheel that give you the flexibility to change settings effortlessly. All of these result in a better photography experience that all would truly enjoy. Let’s take a closer look at what the new camera has to offer.

Image Quality

EOS M6 is packed with a powerful system that delivers high quality and crisp images

The new EOS M6 comes with a powerful Dual Pixel CMOS AF system, translating to high speed, high precision autofocus that predicts movement away from or towards the photographer; a massive 24.2 megapixel APS-C sensor delivering high quality images that are crisp and with low noise; coupled with an impressive ISO range from 100 to 25600.

Making a Movie

Those inspiring holiday videos? You can easily make one, too. With an in-camera digital image stabilisation system, create videos that are shake-free, even when you are walking along with it. Complement that with beautiful background blur, rich expression in low-light conditions, and fast autofocus, to achieve quality videos and time-lapse movies perfect for your Facebook and Instagram accounts. 

Record videos and shoot photos using the camera’s touch panel that can be tilted 180-degree upwards and 45-degree downwards

A Variety of Lens Options

The EF-M55-200mm f/4.5-6.3 IS STM lens is compatible to any of the EOS M mirrorless cameras

Like the rest of the models in the EOS M series such as the EOS M3, EOS M5 and EOS M10, the EOS M6 is compatible with a host of EOS M lenses. One of two kit options, EF-M15-45mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM lens, is a compact zoom lens with a quiet stepping motor (STM) that comes with low-noise focusing ability, perfect for recording videos. This lens is also ideal for landscapes and group photos, thanks to its wide angle zoom. The EF-M18-150mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM lens is also compact and extremely portable. It gives you the flexibility to capture everything from wide landscapes to close-up shot of your pet at home, with excellent image quality in every shot.

Looking Through the LCD Screen or External Viewfinder

Shoot from the camera’s LCD screen or through the detachable EVF-DC2 electronic viewfinder, an optional accessory to be purchased separately

The EOS M6 is all about flexibility and ease of use, which is why this mirrorless camera comes with an option of shooting through a 3.0-inch touch panel LCD screen that can be tilted 180-degree upwards and 45-degree downwards, or a detachable EVF-DC2 electronic viewfinder (EVF) that mirrors the vision of the camera’s sensor, just like a DSLR. EVF-DC2 is sold separately and is available in black at the moment.

Get Connected Constantly

Transfer photos wirelessly from the camera to your phone and view them easily on your phone’s screen

The beauty in transferring crisp, quality photos from your camera to your phone is getting the kind of beautiful photos that you couldn’t have captured with a phone camera, and then uploading online or sharing directly with your friends within seconds. This is possible with EOS M6, which has a Bluetooth function that can connect the camera to a smartphone constantly as long as the power is turned on. With the Canon Camera Connect app, you can even use your phone as a remote for playback or shooting photos with EOS M6.

The Combination of the Past and Now

EOS M6 is an interesting camera because it combines the past and present. The mirrorless camera takes on a nostalgic look, reminiscent of a vintage camera, yet is packed with modern features that are powerful and makes photography effortlessly easy and convenient. Even for seasoned photography enthusiasts, EOS M6 is able to serve as a powerful alternative camera, perfect for travel and everyday use
