Canon has announced not one, but two, new APS-C sensor cameras today, the EOS M6 Mark II mirrorless and the EOS 90D DSLR.
Despite one being mirrorless and the other a more traditional DSLR, both cameras share many of the same core features including:
- 32.5 Megapixel CMOS(APS-C) Sensor
- DIGIC 8 Image Processor
- 4K UHD up 30p and 1080p FHD up 120p video recording with no crop
- Dual Pixel CMOS AF in Live View with 5,481 manually selectable AF positions
- Electronic shutter with a minimum of up to 1/16000th
- Built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Technology
Canon EOS M6 Mark II
Canon says that the EOS M6 Mark II was designed to bring the “controls and functionality of a Canon EOS DSLR into a compact mirrorless camera.”
The M6 Mark II can shoot up to 14fps with AF and AE tracking but can also capture up to a blistering 30fps when the RAW Burst Mode with pre-shooting capabilities is enabled.
The M6 Mark II features Canon’s Dual Pixel AF with 5481 manually selectable AF positions, covering approx 88% horizontal and 100% vertical (when using select EF & EF-S lenses) as well Eye AF Servo.
Dual Pixel AF with Face Tracking and Eye Detection mode is also available when recording 4K videos which will make the camera appealing to the vlogging crowd.
The M6 Mark II’s large, high-resolution, 3.0″ tiltable LCD monitor (180° up and 45° down) allows for quick access to control settings, focus and shutter release and features touch-and-drag AF that works in tandem with the optional EVF-DC2 electronic viewfinder allowing you to select AF positions with the touch of a finger.
The M6 Mark II also offers uncropped 4K UHD 30p and Full HD 120p video recording.
