niraj_photo said:I have a few doubts.
1. Who is the M6 really targeted to - beginners, prosumers? or can a professional in wedding/portrait photography use it as well.
2. If the external electronic view finder is attached, how does someone attach a radio trigger for off camera flash?
thnx

sorry private, dont get it - can you please explain ... "no drag AF" ?
do you mean, that unlike M5, one cannot select and drag AF point around on touchscreen (with thumb)
while loklong into EVF) on M6?
i have seen in specs that M6 LCD is slighty smaller than on M5 (3" vs 3.2) and lower rez, but nothing re. AF user interface? can you point out source for this info?
this is something that would let me hesitate too, whether M6 or M5.

AvTvM said:one more question, maybe someone here has already an answer to it:
New BR-E1 bluetooth remote: specs/articles explicitly state it is compatible with both EOS 77D and 800D ... but M6 is not mentioned. Does anyone know, whether or not it will work with M6 and/or M5?
I would be interested in this BT remote control - even at 50 Euro - as it would free me from line of sight infrared ... currently I use RC-1 IR remote with both my 5D3 and EOS M 1st gen. With BT remote I could trigger camera also "from behind" and from some distance. With IR I have to point remote control at front of camera [receiver window in front-grip].

Today I wrote this exact same question to Canon. hopefully they will respond soon. I also asked, if the BR-E1 is not compatible with M5/6 currently if it is planned to change this via firmware update.
Once I have build my own radio trigger for my EOS M. I combined a RC-1 with a yongnuo 602 radio trigger. This way I was able to release the camera from a distance of approx. 30feet and without the need from line of sight.-> http://mx5-twins.de/Bastelecke/EOS_M_Funkausloeser.pdf

M6 and M5 have exactly the same Button layout on back. I'd certainly think "*" Button can be configured for "back button AF" - as in other EOS cameras.

Unfortunately we have to tell you that this information regarding the comptibility of the BR-E1 with already existing products is not available as of yet.
