Our editorial take on the Canon EOS M6 Mark II

The Canon EOS M6 Mark II delivers impressive specs in a compact body, anchored by a 32.5-megapixel APS-C sensor and fast 14 fps burst shooting with autofocus tracking. Its Dual Pixel CMOS AF system provides reliable subject tracking with eye detection, and the tilting touchscreen makes it easy to frame from awkward angles. Uncropped 4K video at 30p and 1080p at 120p broaden its appeal for hybrid creators, though the 30-minute recording limit and lack of in-body stabilization keep it squarely in the enthusiast tier.

The most divisive design choice is the lack of a built-in viewfinder. Canon offers optional EVFs that attach to the hot shoe, but this adds bulk and cost, and the screen only tilts rather than fully articulating. The EF-M lens lineup has grown more respectable over the years, yet it remains a closed ecosystem with fewer native options than rival mounts. Still, the combination of high resolution, fast continuous shooting, and travel-friendly size makes the M6 Mark II a strong performer for stills-first shooters who value portability and don't mind working primarily with the rear screen.

Best for: Enthusiast photographers prioritizing portability and stills performance who can live without a built-in viewfinder.
