Camera OverviewCanon M6

The Canon M6 is a compact APS-C mirrorless camera built around a 24.2MP sensor and powered by Canon's DIGIC 7 image processor. It delivers a maximum still resolution of 6000x4000 pixels and supports burst shooting at up to 9 frames per second, making it a capable option for photographers who need speed in a small body. The autofocus system combines phase-detection and contrast-detection in a Hybrid setup, offering 49 focus points along with Face Detection AF, eye tracking, and subject tracking — a solid feature set for portrait and street photographers.

ISO runs from 100 to 25600, giving reasonable flexibility across lighting conditions. For video, the M6 records up to 1080p at 60fps, with available frame rates of 24fps, 30fps, and 60fps, and color profiles including Neutral, Faithful, and Monochrome. The 3-inch tilting touchscreen LCD resolves at 1,040,000 dots, and an optional electronic viewfinder with 2,360,000 dots can be added when needed.

Connectivity includes Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Mini HDMI, a 3.5mm microphone jack, and a built-in flash with a Canon Standard TTL hot shoe. The polycarbonate body measures 112 x 68 x 44mm and weighs 390g. The camera accepts Canon EF-M mount lenses and uses LP-E17 batteries rated for 295 shots per charge.
