Review on Silver Canon EOS M6 Camera Kit with 18-150mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM Lens by Goro Suzuki ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I do not cease to rejoice at the purchase, a very good deal!

I had an EOS M - a good "second" camera for landscape photography and operation with manual lenses. I took it for the lowest price for an APS-C matrix and a 22-mm aperture "fix" in the kit (and even with an adapter for EF lenses and for only the equivalent of 500 USD!). Everything was not bad for me (well, stupid AF, yes) - for something more there is an FF-reflex camera, but . I had nothing to hold it in my hands. I don’t have such an organ - a trunk there, suckers on tentacles . Uncomfortable! Everything is bad with the video (1080p / 30), but God bless him. The EOS M3 was faster, with sane ergonomics and controls. Only the big noise of the 24-megapixel matrix upset me. Suddenly. And now, finally, the EOS M6. Perhaps a really worthy camera - against the backdrop of competing mirrorless cameras (primarily Sony). In relation to the M3, the screen (more precisely, the filling inside is faster) with enough light - it no longer slows down, there is less matrix noise and they do not look so ugly. Already useless video - FHD with 50 frames / sec. But it's all the same . so-so, like on almost all cameras))) Do not expect too much - sharpness, there, all that. More buffer, faster series. Some kind of in-camera photo editor - it can be useful on the road, coupled with WiFi. But WiFi is still terrible - slow and with a stupid turn-on-setup: buy a better card reader for your smartphone and there will be mobile happiness. Another control dial appeared - although I didn’t notice a big need. Traditionally, the ON / OFF organ has changed, but this is Canon: "it's necessary." Now this is a lever in a new place. The whale 15-45mm f/3.5-6.3 is very good indeed. Quite sharp at all focal lengths, only at 15mm you need to tighten it up to 5.6 somewhere. Definitely not worse than the previous 18-55, but more convenient and more compact. In general, if there is a need for a mirrorless camera - we can definitely recommend it - instead of the previous EOS M3 and even in a set with 15-45 (not useless). And yes: I had to ate ACDSee - last year's one does not understand the file format.

Pros
  • - full "mechanical" and customizable control - the ability to convert captured RAW through the camera menu - bright (in bright light) screen - quite fast (on contrasting bright objects) AF - great colors and BB straight from the camera - the convenience of the "carcass" in the hands (I have a rather large hand) - rapid fire - buffer is larger than the previous M3 - 1080p/50 (finally!) - very good in the "whale" 15-45mm lens with a good stub and very sharp - the stub in the "whale" 15-45 allows you to take pictures without tension, for example, at 1/13 sec at 35 mm! - you can buy a "magic" 22mm lens! - . well, and a bunch of other things that I will add later
Cons
  • Well, as if not something that "did not live up to expectations", but everything that is the disadvantages of mirrorless cameras and this "whale" personally: - still stupid AF with a lack of light - a heating matrix, which is getting warmer and warmer with every minute of operation, and as a result, the noise is higher than that of similar DSLRs - fast zhor batteries (because everything works, everything is heated continuously) - a very dull screen in the absence of light - the image is particularly slow - there is still a lack of "native" lenses of the EF-M mount (and non-native ones greatly "fill up" a compact camera) - overpriced (IMHO) - meager equipment (with such a "wealth" of lenses and a price, it would not be shameful to put a Canon Mount Adapter EF-EOS M!) - a fixed screen would make the camera a little smaller and certainly more reliable - lack of splash protection for the camera and lenses (the most cant, honestly) - series buffer is too small for the implemented "rate of fire" - disgusting WiFi implementation - 15-45mm f / 3.5-6.3 could have a metal mount, however!
