It's been a couple of years since I had a proper camera that could not only fulfill my video needs but also re-ignite my love for photography.
This video explores some of the reasons I chose the Canon Eos M6 Mark II as I embark on a journey of learning how to get the most out of my camera and falling back in love with my original creative passion, Photography.

I bought this camera last year and think it has been greatly overlooked. It's a fantastic piece of kit that produces quality results. One of the high points for me is being able to use my thumb on the touch screen whilst looking through the digital viewfinder to select my focal point. Once I began using that function I wondered how I ever did without it.

@RustyRoj 4 жыл бұрын

I’m yet to spend much time with the view finder. It’s something I generally am more likely to use once I can start getting into portraits again.

*subbed* much love from vancouver canada, that's awesome i've been looking at the m6 mark ii or the eos R or RP or 90d or m50 so many options!!! that osmo pocket seems like the perfect companion!

@RustyRoj 4 жыл бұрын

Thank you 🙏 Yes, the Osmo pocked is a great little camera and I haven’t used it any less since I got the M6 mark ii. Seems you have a couple of choices. Do you need full frame or is APS-C fine for you? If you don’t mind the crop sensor then do you prefer light and compact or more robust and weather sealed? The 90D and M6 have the same specs but I was surprised how much bigger the 90D is. I went compact with the M6 mark ii to make travel easier.

@LouisLuzuka 4 жыл бұрын

RustyRoj yeah I’m really torn because I have a eos m and t6s is my girlfriends which I am borrowing until I can save up for my own camera which is nice of her. So maybe I’ll upgrade the eos M to a m50 or m6 mark ii and I’ll upgrade the T6s to a Eos RP or Eos R or EosR6/R5 the osmo pocket seems like something nice to have for the time being! Love the idea of that is there a reason why you didn’t go with a go pro ? And how are you able to have nice crisp audio on the osmo pocket? Thank you 😊

@LouisLuzuka 4 жыл бұрын

RustyRoj I like the 90d too but the m6 mark ii seems nice to have the speed booster option, if I were to get a 90d I would skip it and get the Eos R because I can still use my EFS lenses on the Eos R but with the RP the efs lenses are only in 720p and I’m okay with 1080p for right now so honestly seems like if I want 4K the m6ii is the smarter choice. The eos R stays in the 1080 zone and the 90d can do 4K but not full frame. It’s nice to keep the options open but the 90d kit is around the same price as the Eos R body so I’m not so sure anymore 🤔 but I did try the 90d in the store and it was amazing to vlog with and I’m just making videos for tiktok and KZfaq maybe I’ll invest more of my money into lighting lenses nd filters and audio rather than camera body because that’s the real thing I love the look of the 16mm f1.4

@RustyRoj 4 жыл бұрын

Audio and lighting are super important. Those do need to be on the top of your list. The M6 mark ii for me has everything and is so much lighter than the 90D which makes it easier to vlog with. Just remember if you use EFS lenses on a full frame camera, like the R, you might get some vignetting around the edges as those lenses are built for APS-C sensors.

@LouisLuzuka 4 жыл бұрын

RustyRoj absolutely! And thank you! As for the vignette i know the eos R goes into “crop mode” at 1080p so it is treated like a crop sensor but I do understand how you mean from my use with speed boosters, I don’t know anyone who really likes the 90d unless they just need a tough body but I’m really leaning towards the mirror less guess I just gotta decide if I’m going to go with m6ii vs the eos RP/R or save for the R5/6 I forgot to mention is there a specific reason why you didn’t want to get the m50?

the view868 Thank you so much. The M50 is a great camera. I was very close to picking one up myself before I found the M6 mk2. The Osmo Pocket is what almost all my vlogs have been shot on so far up to buying the Canon. It’s such a versatile little camera that I don’t think I would ever want to leave out of my kit.

Awesome video! If you don't any have existing Canon lenses/gear would you have still chosen it over Sony's a6400?

@RustyRoj 4 жыл бұрын

Thank you for watching. Yes, I would have bought the Canon as this kit that came with the viewfinder, Kit lens, EF adapter and EF 50mm was the same price for me as the A6400 body only. Also the full touch screen and Canons excellent menu system I thing is far more use friendly. If I’m giving anyone advice though I would say to go for the Sony if you mostly want to shoot video and the Canon if you want to either 50/50 or mostly shoot pictures. So it really comes down to what your planing on using the most for. On a personal preference though I love the look of canon images and video over the Sony. That’s purely objective bias though.

The best case I've found for this camera is Lowepro's GearUp Medium Camera Box (www.lowepro.com/us-en/gearup-camera-box-medium-lp37145-pww/). It perfectly fits the camera along with quite a few accessories such as the charger, battery, additional small lens, etc. Everything is neatly packed into a case not much bigger than a paperback book.

Thanks for sharing this. Sorry the comment sat in my “spam” section because of the link. I’ve been looking for a good solution for sticking my camera gear into my backpack when travelling. I have a camera sling for day trips but not a camera bag that also suits travel with everything else I may need.

Been 2 years now, how is it now? also, with the adaptor, what was the focal length change to get used to?

@RustyRoj 2 жыл бұрын

I’ve actually made a follow video last year. I still love the M6 markII. I don’t feel like I’ve reached it’s limits in my work yet. The adapter just acts as a spacer for Ef and efs lenses to replace the gap between the lens and the sensor you have for the mirror in a DSLR so it doesn’t effect the focal length. The only focal length adjustment to make is to do with the crop sensor size (1.6x) to work out full frame equivalent fov. ie; 50mm on crop sensor has the equivalent fov of an 80mm. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iqeCf9dhtL-qdnk.html

It’s the same camera in a smaller body and without the mirror so it should feel pretty similar to use and the images will be identical.

Is there an ultra wide angle lens for it ?

@RustyRoj 4 жыл бұрын

Samy Jacobsen the widest native lens for the M6 mark ii is the EF-M 11-22mm. But you can use the EF/EFS adapter or a speed booster to get a wider field of view with EF or EFS lenses. The EFS 10-18mm would be a good pick.
