Images of the Canon EOS M6 & EVF Have Leaked

[Canon Rumors]

Images of the upcoming Canon EOS M6 mirrorless camera body have leaked out ahead of the official announcement.</p>
<p>By the looks of the images, this is very close to an EOS M5 without the built-in EVF. I really like the looks of the silver version of the camera.</p>
<p>Images of the new EVF for the EOS M6 can also be seen below.</p>
<p>Not related to the Canon EOS M6 is the brand new EF-S 18-55 f/4-5.6 IS STM lens for the new EOS Rebel T7i and EOS Rebel 77D.</p>
<p><strong>EF-S 18-55mm F4-5.6-EF IS STM</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Lens construction: 10 12 sheets group</li>
<li>Minimum focusing distance: 0.25M</li>
<li>Filter diameter: 58Mm</li>
<li>Size: 66.5 × 61.8Mm</li>
<li>Weight: 215g</li>

Re: Canon EOS M6 & EVF Images Have Leaked

I wonder if the old electronic viewfinder will work with the new camera. It seems wasteful to buy a new EVF when the old one works just fine.

Re: Canon EOS M6 Images Have Leaked

Don't like the leather design much, nor the sticking out neck strap holders, and wheels miss on the nice red accent as G7X has.

Well, not that much of a shock as M5 design was for me. It was so ugly, that over time, I kind of started to like it Might consider the silver combination variant for the first time - looks kind of retro (rangefinder).

Now - curious what's inside ...

Oh, and the exposure compensation dial. I am either a bad photographer for not using exposure compensation, or this is a wasted space. Would prefer ISO dial anytime ...

Re: Canon EOS M6 & EVF Images Have Leaked

I wonder if there's something to be inferred from the fact that it has two C modes like the 80D and the M5 and unlike the M3 and the current Rebels.

The exposure compensation dial is very useful if you have a small dark object against a bright background, like a small bird, backlit, on a branch, and you often need to switch quickly so the dial is not a waste of space. So, as you have given us a choice between your being either a bad photographer or the dial being wasted space, you can draw your own conclusions.

There is an other wheel under the exposure compensation dail

Re: Canon EOS M6 & EVF Images Have Leaked

Not very pretty or anything. It looks functional.
Why do Canon and other companies go for that type of screen.
Is the flippy screen more vulnerable to damage or take up more space at the back.
I think the flippy screen is a much more usable design and you can protect it but turning it inwards.

With this I guess it's what's inside that matters. FPS and image quality.

Re: Canon EOS M6 & EVF Images Have Leaked

I think a lot of things at the M6 look like expected.
I personally don't like that raised shutter button compared to the EOS SLRs, but that is what you get when you buy EOS M. (And I don't like it, even if the ring around it could be a dial or switch.)

Now let's see how good the AF and the EVF work... (that would be my main topic if I was in for an EOS M).

i'd assume the same as the M5.

I'm curious if the older EVF will work though.

probably wont' find that out until the press announcement or later.

I don't care about small birds, lol As with DLSRs, where's such a dial? Well, 5D IV seems to have semi-dedicated button (shared with ISO?) for that, and that's just it - oh how could we survive without a dedicated exp.comp. wheel for all those years?

Well, maybe a second/hidden wheel under the exp.comp. one makes my day

Have to agree with you on that one. I don't normally like silver cameras or mirrorless cameras for the looks. This one's not too bad though.

Re: Canon EOS M6 & EVF Images Have Leaked

Looks very similar to the M3. But I think many including myself were expecting this update to be an improved upon m5 design? Which was well accepted with except for the flippy screen. Which also this one seems to be lacking..

Canon needs to figure out a proper naming scheme for their M cameras. This is going to confuse the mess out of folks..

Exposure compensation is needed unless you shoot in manual mode only. Any subject which the meter can't properly meter will need it.

Re: Canon EOS M6 & EVF Images Have Leaked

Silver???

2cents: Black version looks better since it has the modern body style.

Styles change. Black may soon fall out of fashion. It became in fashion ten years ago. Up to about 2006-7 many cameras and home electronic devices were silver. I think the silver fashion started in about '96 so there seems to be a ten year cycle. I bought a Canon A700 compatible camera in '07 and it soon looked very obsolete.

I think you're alone with your assumptions there. it was always rumored as "under" the M5 and the EVF was rumored to go with it.

and a fully articulated screen? lol .. okay.

the naming? 5D and 6D don't confuse people .. are you confused by them?

it's an M5 sans built in EVF...

manual + auto ISO it's useful as well. I actually found it a useful on the M3, even though I originally thought I wouldn't be using it.

Canon went "black" already in the '80s starting with the A-1 and New F-1 (IIRC the original F-1 was too) which were "all black".

Since then, most high-end models have been black, while among more consumer oriented models often attempted different colors. But I don't believe black will become unfashionable, especially because it avoid reflections.

Silver looks good if it is (or look like) real metal, and its retro look may stay. The silver plastic used years ago looked cheap already back then on any device.

The flippy screen is much harder to operate if one wants to just tilt it upwards. Also it affects the way you hold the camera.Turning it inwards made more sense when you ha a viewfinder. It is typical for technology that things get simpler.

Not sure it's real metal .. is the burnished part of the M5 metal or plastic?

it appears to be the same.
