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:
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.
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.
