It's really a matter of perspective. If you are a chimper on a DSLR you will probably love mirrorless as you can check focus, light, etc all in realtime. Same thing if you want tracking to take over so you can recompose a moving subject. Jared has always been about bleeding edge tech, this video is no different.
I came away very very impressed with the m6 and am rethinking the 90d as an upgrade. The tracking would fit my bill for sports shooting BMX races. However like many i'm worried about ergonomics. I probably would consider the m5 if they dont release a 90d rmount equivalent soon.

Some people embrace change because they like new features, some people like the new features because they have a hard tme with knowing when to swap settings based on the direction you turned at a busy chaotic event and want that instant feedback.This is not only his opinion, if you read the some comments here, or some reviews in the Web, DSLR‘s are garbage, so everybody must buy a mirrorless camera
Others are more comfortable and know what might be off they can fix in post, and instinctively know and have the skill to maximize the capabilities of the camera without relying on instant feedback. There's 20 years of great photographic proof that dslrs can take great pictures. However mirrorless does have much more potential as equipment and software improves.

I thought he had a pretty fair take, all things considered.
In all honesty, I think these cameras will be more competitive than expected. As I look at comparable cameras in the same price range, these appear to be in the right ball park: a few features missing from competitors, but a few features the competitors don't have. It will without a doubt come down to personal need/preference for anyone using these.
Again, I find myself drawn to the M6ii - if you want a really small travel camera without compromising resolution or shooting speed, that looks to be the one. My only question is whether or not the M lenses can get the most out of that sensor resolution. Could be a great travel/secondary backup camera.

I concur with what most have said in this thread.
I won’t be able to view the video until later today but I have a quick question:
I am essentially of the view that 90D live view operation and the M6 mirrorless normal operation (and capability) are virtually identical? Is this correct?
I can’t read past the inherent biases in the various reviews to date to suss this out for myself.
As for buying one - > boils down to lens selection. The M6 is smaller — > but not small enough to avoid carrying a bag for the “kit”.

As a 1dx mk2 sports shooter...the ability to track subjects using the full sensor area makes me drool a bit. That coupled with the same fps as my 1dx...as I mentioned before, I don't think it has great weather sealing if any?? I need this in the environments I shoot in...so still waiting for the dedicated sports mirrorless Canon *dreaming

It's his style, he was a DSLR shooter for many years, he shot film cameras before digital was a thing, and until comparatively recently (Nikon Z, Canon R, Sony MkIII's) he was very dismissive of EVF's, he has always been totally dismissive of no viewfinder (Live View) shooting too. His opinion now is that the EVF's far out perform the OVF's so there is a very heavy bias in his opinions. For those that are familiar with him there is no need to watch the video, it is Jared Polin being Jared Polin, his case use is dumping M glass and using a 400 f2.8, now that is a typical purchaser scenario....

If you like watching YouTube, OK. I prefer reading, and for once DPR gave a good comparison https://www.dpreview.com/articles/9...e-canon-eos-90d-and-eos-m6-mark-ii-in-atlanta as well as individual previews.
I am sticking with the old M5 and my local dealer has ordered me a 90D.

Take the splinter out of your eye my brother. He's made his bread shooting DSLRs. You may not respect his opinion on OVFs but he deserves respect from his career.
Also note that he is FAR from alone on this point. Maybe you may not like the trend - to each their own - but mirrorless nd EVF advantages keep growing. OVFs and DSLRs have had their time. Everything does.

If that is the favorite review then Canon is in real trouble.
The good new is I am almost certain that there is a R mount crop camera coming now. The bad new is with these two the better birder camera has no glass and the better movie camera is in DSLR format.
