Verdict

The Canon EOS M6 Mark II is a compact mirrorless camera featuring a high-resolution 32.5MP APS-C CMOS sensor and the DIGIC 8 processor, capable of uncropped 4K/30p video and rapid 14 fps continuous shooting. It excels with its Dual Pixel CMOS AF (5,481 points) and a 30 fps RAW Burst mode with pre-shooting, making it a powerhouse for both detail-oriented stills and fast-paced action. While it offers impressive speed and portability, it lacks in-body image stabilisation (IBIS) and requires an external plug-in for an electronic viewfinder, which can be cumbersome for some users.
