Just over a year ago, Canon released the EOS M50. Many people in the industry considered it something of an oddity because, despite offering numerous advanced features not found on the flagship M5, it was categorised as a mid-range model.
Today the true successor to the M5 was announced – the EOS M6 II – so it feels appropriate to ask the question: just how much better is this new model compared to the M50? Let’s find out!
Until today, the Canon EOS M5 was the flagship model in the EOS M series of mirrorless cameras. The new EOS M6 II supplants not only its predecessor, the EOS M6, but also the M5 – yet in some ways, it isn’t quite as advanced as the former flagship as we’ll discover below!
The EOS M6 mark II is the most recent model in Canon’s range of compact mirrorless cameras with an APS-C sized sensor. It blends features from both the previous flagship model, the EOS M5, and its official predecessor, the EOS M6.
In this comparison preview, we’re going to be looking at all the main ways in which it compares to the original M6!
7Artisans is a Chinese company that produces affordable manual focus lenses for mirrorless systems such as Fujifilm X, Sony E, Canon EOS R and Micro Four Thirds. They launched with the 50mm f/1.1 lens back in September 2016 and have since produced twelve lenses including the popular 50mm f/1.8 and 55mm f/1.8 that feature in this comparison.
Over a year had elapsed since Sony last announced a full-frame Alpha series model, the incredibly popular A7 III. Last week, that all changed with the arrival of the fourth generation model in the high resolution A7R series, the A7R IV.
Despite the significant age gap, the A7R IV and A7 III are the two most recent full-frame models from Sony, so many users will naturally be wondering how their specifications compare – and more important, whether Sony has made a leap forward in terms of imaging technology. In this preview, we hope to provide you with all the answers!
