It’s a great little camera. I hope you enjoy yours as much as I enjoy mine.

I’m glad that my video could help reassure you that you made the right choice. I hope you enjoy your camera as much as I enjoy mine. Create something amazing.

I guess if they did then there’s no reason for the 90D to exist.

@@RustyRoj Bingo!

Thanks for watching. I’m glad you enjoyed the video and I know that you’re going to love this little camera more and more.

I’m glad you enjoyed it.

I also don’t believe the new apsc R cameras are enough of an upgrade to be with the higher price tags 🏷️

Thanks. I’m glad it was helpful.

Thanks for watching

Nice, I know you’ll enjoy this camera and that lens is one of the best. Stay safe over there, you’ve already had it rough but we will get to the end of it.

Thanks 🙏

Yes I love the compact nature and with some thing like the 22mm or just the 15-45mm lens it almost looks like a point and shoot. It’s the same camera as the 90D just mirrorless (and no weather sealing) so no worries about the quality. I’m glad you love it too.

Thanks for watching. It ended up a bit longer than I’d hopped, I appreciate you sticking though it. I’ve played with the Hightone priority but I wasn’t happy with the noise I got in the shadows. It would work for some but unfortunately not so much for me. I’ve also resorted to having no info on my screen to loose the touch shutter but it’s not very convenient. Fortunately the good far out weighs the bad so I’m still in love with this little camera.

Thanks. I think you’ll find it a great upgrade. I’ve been getting a few comments in the specific use cases for the touch shutter. I don’t mind the feature being there honestly, and I’m glad it’s useful for others. I just want the option to remove it from my screen rather that always having the toggle there. “Off” in the menu should mean “Off”. Not “Off until I accidentally touch the lower left corner of my screen”.

You’re going to create something awesome. Enjoy your new camera.

Yes, you can set them with secondary video modes available in all photo shooting modes, which is a good work around, but I was referring full feature video dedicated settings. I want to set video settings in video mode and be able to save those to C1 or C2, which you can’t currently do. You’re work around is a great idea though and I might need to do a video to point it out for those who don’t know. Thanks for the suggestion.

No problem, Thank you for taking the time to watch.

I’ve actually been thinking about getting another camera body too 😂

Thank you.

Yea it’s pretty cool and you can change wether it’s the left or right side of the touch screen depending on if you are a left or right eye user for the EVF. I don’t really use the EVF much at all but that might be because I’m always vlogging at the same time. I’d like to use it more though.

It’s that bang for bucks that convinced me to buy it.

I hadn’t thought of that as a use case. Really all I wasn’t is if I turn it off in the settings it stays off and isn’t able to be turned on unless I go back into the menu to activate it.

@@RustyRoj even with this feature, a lot of strangers still mess up the Pic. They think they can tap anywhere on the screen and it will still focus on the people. So they tap on the grass and the grass is in focus while we're blurry

Ha ha I have had that before too just on a cellphone. Maybe it’s best to use a tripod and the Canon connect app shutter remote.

I just said the same thing ha ha

Thank you 🙏

I love mine too. Sometimes I look at what else is on offer and it’s really hard to find anything I would want to up grade to that isn’t full frame and 3 times the price.

@@RustyRoj I would be perfectly happy with an R…for photography only, except the M6 Mark II does have a higher burst rate. But the R isn’t really much of an upgrade in the video department. R6 is likely what I’d upgrade to, but it’s such a lower resolution for photos, but the video is great. The R5 is an ideal upgrade for both photo and video. BUT…it’s expensive! The camera is expensive, the memory card is expensive, the lenses are expensive! Doesn’t make sense for a hobbyist to spend that kind of money unless the gear is what’s making your living.

I agree. The R6 would be my choice if upgrading. The resolution isn’t too much of a worry as it’s a bigger sensor so would balance out somewhat. What I really want is an adapter for R lenses to work with the M6mkii. That way I can slowly build up a lens collection for when I do upgrade.

@@RustyRoj that is another reason I haven’t upgraded yet. I think I will buy some ef glass in the meantime to use, then I’d have something to get started with when I do upgrade

I’m think the same. What I’d love to see is an M6mkiii with a little better dynamic range, 4K 60 as an option and 120fps to have auto focus. Plus an adapter to R lenses. That would be a simple body upgrade that would set me up happily for many years.

Honestly I don’t think you could make a wrong choice. A friend of mine has an XT-3 and loves it. I love my M6mkii. I think the RP is a great camera if full frame is important to you though I feel the M6mkii is better for video. My advice is to watch videos on each and see which one has the features that speak to you.

I haven’t played with that much yet. I’ll have to give it a go.

Yes, if only there was a way to mod it.

Ibis wouild be nice

Ibis would be nice too though the camera would been to bulk up to make that happen.

Thanks, unfortunately that doesn’t remove the toggle from the touch screen or prevent that toggle from being tapped by accident. The only work around I’ve found is to use an info screen that lacks any quick menu. It’s a bit less than ideal.

@@RustyRoj If you want to remove the touch shutter icon so that it no longer shows up on your screen at all , there is this way. : 1. Go to the spanner UP4, and choose tab 4. 2. Choose shooting info disp 3. choose screen info. settings 4. clear all ticks except in 1 (u can let tick(s) in 4 and / or 5 stay. 5. With 1 highlight, go to edit screen. 6. remove the tick in the top icon (one which has top and bottom horizontal bars across the screen). you can see the touch screen icon disappear in the small screen when you remove this tick. 7. touch ok 8. get out of the menu mode. Now the screen will no longer show the touch shutter icon

@@ericcsn Thanks. I’ll try this for a while and see if it work for me but it does also remove the shooting info from the screen like shutter and iso as well as mode and battery status. I know they pop up when you make adjustments or hold the shutter for metering but I’d rather they just show all the time. It’s ridiculous that the touch shutter is tied to useful information so you are forced to make a compromise just to remove it.

Yes I’ve been playing with that setting a bit recently. Though it’s a bit noisier in the shadows so I’m not sure it works for me.

Thanks for watching. That’s interesting you found the 24fps not very smooth. I haven’t experienced any issues with any of the video modes except for when I’ve had the shutter speed set wrong, which is entirely may fault. Though because I’m in a PAL region I don’t often use 24fps as I need 25fps to avoid lights flickering. I might have to do some tests to see if I can notice anything.

@@RustyRoj just check one of my videos, I shoot all of them in 23.976 fps and if you notice they don't look as smooth as I see in other people's video here on KZfaq shooting 24fps.

What are you editing with? That can have an impact too. Are you also making sure your using the 180 rule for your shutter? I assume you would be but just covering the bases.

@@RustyRoj I shoot in 23.976 fps, shutter speed: 1/50, and I edit in Davinci Resolve. I live in Europe, but decided to use NTSC mode instead of PAL

I personally haven’t had much luck with Resolve as it always crashes on my PC. One of the reasons I started editing in my iPad with LumaFusion was because I couldn’t find a PC editor, I could afford, that worked for me. Maybe try something else like Hitfilm or Filmora (those have free versions or trials) to see if you have a different result? Since you’re in Europe, you might not find much of an advantage to using 24fps and might be better with 25fps (Though that doesn’t address the issue you are having directly) The only real advantage to 24fps is if you intend on also shooting in 60fps or 120fps for slow motion and don’t want to change between NTSC and PAL to do so. I might have a play with the different modes and see if I can replicate your problem. It would be an interesting experiment.

Thanks. Yes I still have so much more of the M6 mkii to master. I was a little worried the video might be a little long. First cut was about 20 min but I managed to trim some fat.

@@RustyRoj it’s such a fun camera to use.

You might be right. Given the M6mkII is the 90D but smaller, there’s a lot less room for components to breath. That said I’ve been under a waterfall with the M6mkii in a plastic rain cover and it was fine so it’s not the end of the world having no weather sealing.

Glad you found the right fit for you in the end.

Yes I am. Born and raised in Aotearoa’s volcanic isthmus of Auckland. Nice to have you along.

@@RustyRoj I’m based in Hamilton :D just ordered my M6 ii today from Harvey Norman! I’ll get it on Wednesday when we are down to Level 3. Stay safe in Auckland.

Awsome. I’m a little jealous you can get Uber eats again but don’t worry we’ve got this lockdown sorted.

The both shoot the same and have the same sensor so it come down to their physical properties. If you want the smaller, lighter setup then the M6 mkII. For a more rugged, heavier setup with weather sealing then 90D. That said the M6 mkII is cheaper. So bang for bucks it’s the winner but that might not be a big difference once you get a few accessories like a cold shoe bracket for a mic, the EVF and the Ef-S lens adapter. Best to check and Compare packages and specials.

What do you want to create? They’re very different tools when it comes to photography/video.

@@RustyRoj I intend to use it as a still image (Photography) tool. For me having sharp and detailed photos is the target. I was thinking if I could use iPhone 12/13 Pro Max as a daily driver photography tool it would be nice. I don't want to print my taken photos in large scale size. If iPhone 12/13 Pro Max could give me contarsty and sharp pictures it is enough.

Is this for product photography? Or is it an artistic pursuit? One thing you can’t get from any system that doesn’t have interchangeable lenses is good natural bokeh. The iPhone will take good sharp images and if you just need a consistent focal length it will probably do what you want it to but if you want to use proper depth and scale in your photography you will eventually find it limiting. That said if you are just starting out the iPhone is a powerful tool and if photography doesn’t work out you still have an awesome smartphone. I suggest if using the iPhone you download ProCamera or similar to give you more control over your photography than the standard app allows.

@@RustyRoj I want to let you know that your advice is very much appreciated, and thabk you so much for your kind and detailed response.

My pleasure. Best of luck

Not one I’ve encountered. Being a mirrorless camera there isn’t really a shutter as such. Not flipping mirror to cause vibrations. I’ve often used a 2second timer for longer exposure shots and not had any real negative effects from that short a time from pressing the shutter. If you are doing a long exposures however, I would recommend using the Canon app as a remote trigger so your hand isn’t messing things up when you use the Sutter button.

I get where it might be useful in one or two very specific instances and how it could be great as an accessibility feature but all I want is the option to permanently turn it off. Currently if you turn it off in the menu it's still on the view screen and can still be toggled on or off from there. I just want "off" to be "off" where it cant just be accidentally triggered.

Pricing here is always significantly more than the US. Though since I made this video the M50 has come down a bit and now cost just over half of the M6MarkII. This is because of the M50mk2 which is about $1200, only $400 less than the M6MarkII. Regardless though, the M6MarkII is a significant set up, especially if you are using it for moth video and photography. I always say you should buy the best you can with in your budget regardless of brand or model. It’s more about what you make with it than what the specs say.

It depends what’s more important to you. If you want a flip out screen, built in viewfinder and weather sealing? Then get a 90D. If you prefer a much more compact and significantly lighter set up then the M6 mkII is the one for you. They will both shoot the same so image quality won’t change it’s about how it feels to hold and how you shoot. Good luck.

@@RustyRoj thanks a lot for the reply. My main concerns is that I'm a beginner and I need this thing for both photo and video without any lacking in the future. And also something that doens't have damn expensive lenses

I bought mine in a package that came with the EVF, Ef Ef-a lens adapter and kit lens for about $400 less than the 90D body. So best to see what packages are available and what’s on special. Both cameras should last you a long time before you feel the technology is lacking.

@@RustyRoj alright! Thanks for the help. Subbed ❤️

It’s a fantastic camera for sure. A bit pricy for me though. I’m not quite there yet.
