  • DIGIC 7
  • Dual pixel CMOS AF
  • 49 points AF points
  • 7 frames/sec (AF fixed: 9 frames/sec)
  • ISO sensitivity: 100 to 25600

The EOS M6 specifications are mostly the same as the EOS M5 specs, with the difference that the EOS M6 does not have a built-in EVF. We also got some information about the EOS M6 price is the UK: £729 for the body only.

The announcement of the EOS M6 (and Rebel T7i and EOS 77D) is a matter of few days. Stay tuned!

A list of specifications of he upcoming Canon EOS M6 leaked at Nokishita Camera. As you can see, no mention of Dual Pixel AF.

  • Approximately 24.2 million pixels
  • DIGIC 7
  • 49 points AF points 
  • 7 frames/sec (AF fixed: 9 frames/sec)
  • ISO 100 to 25600
  • Shutter speed: 1/4000-30, valve shutter speed synchronized with strobe = 1/200 second
  • Video: Full HD, HD, VGA
  • 3″ tilt type touch panel

I still believe the EOS M6 will have Dual Pixel AF, even if it isn’t mentioned in the spec list.

An image of the new remote control BR-E1n also leaked.

What will the Canon EOS M6 look like (Dual Pixel AF, 24MP sensor)?

This is the EOS M5. Canon’s next mirrorless camera (EOS M6) is coming soon.

It’s a matter of days before Canon will announce the Canon EOS M6, Canon latest addition to the company’s mirrorless line-up.

No one saw the EOS M6 coming, and no features have leaked so far. However, I got some bits (thanks) and will now try to sum it up.

The Canon EOS M6 will most likely have a feature set very similar to the  EOS M5, with the exception of the built-in EVF. I am pretty sure the EOS M6 will have no built-in EVF. The EOS M6 will have a 24MP sensor, which appears to be the new standard resolution for Canon’s APS-C cameras. We also got a suggested frame rate, which is said to be above or around 6fps.

Will the EOS M6 feature Dual Pixel Auto-Focus? I have been told it will, which seems to be something we can expect.

The rest if the specifications I got is too messed up to be replicated here. All I can be sure for now is that the EOS M6 will have an articulated touchscreen (similar or the same as the EOS M3.

Back to the features of the EOS M6. You can expect something between the EOS M3 and the EOS M5, i.e. more features than the EOS M3 and less than the EOS M5. However, to my knowledge the feature set of the EOS M6 will be closer to the EOS M5 than to the EOS M3.

Stay tuned…

A new prime lens for EOS M system to be announced before CP+? [CW2]

EF-M 22mm
The EF-M 22mm f/2 STM, the only fast prime for the EOS M system, so far

A prime lens for the Canon EOS M system was rumored since a while. I have been told (thanks) that Canon may announce an EF-M 32mm f/1.8 lens along with the EOS M6. This comes from a new source so I rate it CW2. However, it’s plausible and a focal length around 35mm is what we have been told in the past. For sure it would be a welcome addition for EOS M users.

Currently there are two prime lenses for the EOS M system, the EF-M 22mm f/2 STM and the EF-M 28mm f/3.5 Macro IS STM.

Canon will announce a lot of stuff in the next week, before CP+. There is the EOS M6, new Rebels with one named EOS 77D, and likely more.

Stay tuned!
