First Impressions: Canon EOS M6 Mark II APS-C Mirrorless Camera

Announced alongside the Canon EOS 90D APS-C DSLR, the Canon EOS M6 Mk II is the updated version of the crop sensor mirrorless M6 that was first announced back in February of 2017. While the M6 Mk II features a nearly identical exterior to its predecessor, much of the upgrades are found within the camera's internals. The M6 Mk II's APS-C sensor receives a significant resolution bump from 24.4 to 32.5 Megapixels and is powered by Canon's latest Digic 8 imaging processor. The M6 Mk II's Dual Pixel AF system features 5,481 manually selectable AF points and includes Eye Detection AF support, allowing for up to 14 frames per second to be captured in continuous shooting mode while maintaining autofocus (up to 30 frames per second when using the RAW Burst Mode). Having released two Full Frame mirrorless cameras within the past year, Canon's decision to introduce an updated APS-C mirrorless camera may seem like a step backwards to some, but it's important to remember that although Canon EF-M mount (designed with mirrorless APS-C cameras in mind) haven't seen widespread adoption here in the US, they are quite popular in Asia. This does put Canon into an interesting position of having to concurrently support three separate lens mounts with EF/EF-S, EF-M, and RF. Canon generously invited us down to Atlanta last week to spend some hands-on time with the M6 Mk II, head on after the jump for our first impressions.
