I have an m6 and I was feeling fomo because everyone has a Sony, Fuji, or Ricoh, But my jaw dropped when I saw your secret cam was a M6 and your praises for it helped me appreciate what I already have, it is a really good little camera! Although the shutter is embarrassingly loud 😂
Great choice, I really liked a lot of the EOS M cameras, and the system became a lot more attractive when Sigma released some of its DC DN lenses in the EF-M mount. Bargain so be had, and of course it can also adapt really successfully, EF and lots more. The M50 II was my favourite, especially in the white, looking like a little stormtrooper.
I had abandoned my G7x Mk iii as my travel camera ever since I picked up a M240, your enthusiasm on micro edc camera really reinvigorate me to use that camera again. And you are absolutely right, the waist level tilt screen format is totally a vibe for street; I used to think Sony and Nikon were silly for having that on their mirrorless instead of a flip, but now that I am shooting more with waist level camera, I totally get it!
Yes! M6, m6 mk2, m50 & m3 here. Canon abandoned the m system way too soon. The 22 was way underrated. Great vid! The jpeg does mess with reds on my m6's.
Pleasant surprise today seeing my little friend the M6 Mk1 getting some love :) Although I mainly use mine with the 22MM and adapted EF lenses from my older 5D Mk2, the 32MM F1.4 is still on my wish-list to get...hopefully sometime in the coming year.
I don't know...There's a VERY limited selection of native EF-M glass, and the separate EVF for the M6 often is expensive and hard to find. I would personally go with the Panasonic GX line of cameras or the Olympus E-M10 line. Lovely compact rangefinder format for the GX and both Panny and Oly have decent built in EVFs, and, most importantly of all, a MASSIVE selection of native m43 glass. The Panasonic GM5 is even more tiny, and the G100 is dirt cheap because it got so maligned. The later GX cameras also make fine 4K b-roll devices. Only real advantage of the Canon cameras is the dual pixel autofocus for video, and slightly larger APS-C sensor. By the way, you should be able to get the mk 1 LX100 for way cheaper than the $500 mentioned. I've gotten it for half that price used with patience. A steal, IMHO! Thanks for the video!
The M50 is also a nice camera, two people I know have them, including my gramps that's been a broadcast engineer for must of his life. His first digital camera used was a 1999 2.7mp D1 borrowed from the studio. The m50 is a capable little camera and they've got awesome sensors in them, you can't go wrong with the image quality. It was enough for him to stop looking for better and just use it. When you're 72, you're probably sick of carrying a brick when you're out hiking around.
@21:40 you can touch the screen on the lower right corner to punch in to manual focus! I was also annoyed at the two step process until I realized that little magnifying glass icon does the same thing! The M6 is a really fun camera and looks nice with the 7Artisans 35mm f1.4 silver color lens mounted to it. It's a really well built lens and feels good in the hand.
Very true! The magnifying glass is a great feature, but unfortunately, doesn’t work with your eye up to the EVF, which is how I like to shoot. When using the EVF there’s no direct path to punch the zoom which drives me crazy, but apparently it is available on the MKII
@@OneMonthTwoCameras oh, I see. I don't have the EVF. I do have the M50 MKii and it has single button magnify thru EVF.. Canon always seems to do weird things with their cameras...
@@OneMonthTwoCameras Great video as usual. After hearing your must have list and reading this coment, have you ever considered the Lumix GX 80 or GX9 ? Not the greatest auto-focus in the business but still quite decent, other than that, they pretty much tick all the boxes...they also have IBIS which is great for video or night shots. Cheers
@@NunoJoelPrivado I love my GX85/9. It ticks many of the EDC boxes. Wish LUMIX included a microphone jac. Love the L monochrome D jpeg. My favorite B&W. Just bought the G9ii and looking forward to trying the Leica monochrome. Just picked up a GX85 for $300 with battery charger while visiting NYC the middle of September. My backup body.

You could talk about wood shavings (or something) and I would be excited that there's a new video from you! I happen to love cameras, so I am always glad when you have a new video! It's fun to hear about an everyday carry camera and what some of the considerations are. We all have slightly different criteria and I love hearing how people work this out. Most of my cameras are small, although I do love a chunky slr/dslr, and a bit of my collection was inspired by you! Thanks for your videos, photography, and your energy and presence! It's good to see you!
I’ve been on a multi year quest for a large sensor compact for under 500. I refuse to pay Ricoh or Fuji prices. Saw this video and immediately went on MPB and grabbed an m6 and 22mm excellent condition for just under 500. MPB sponsor this channel!
@@Username_CC_ good point I bought my first xe2 for 200 bucks and unfortunately I sold it bc then the prices went up to 500. Sold my x100v for 1000 sadly during the pandemic right before the prices went bonkers
I had been waiting for the camera reveal since seeing you post banger pics on Instagram and am surprised the camera is a Canon! The colors sooc in my Canon M50 were leaving me uninspired, so I jumped to Fuji for the film sims. After watching your video and seeing your photos, I realized I really needed to learn editing instead of jumping from the Canon ship! I am enjoying Fuji, but I could have definitely saved some money. Oh well! Side note: thanks for all you do to inspire female wannabe photographers like me. 😊
Such wonderful enthusiasm, love it!! Who else started searching secondhand stock online even while the video was playing...?! Found one...tempted now 😊
I think I had the small button up front programed for manual focus when I owned the M6. The M6II has 4:3 crop in camera which gives you a MFT sensor size! Also higher pixel count equates to greater dynamic range at base ISO (with equal sensor arcitecture), so I found even nicer highlight rolloff on the MKII. Also, silent shutter and fully mechanical shutter are nice to have (M6II has them). The rear screen on the M6II is literally huge. I do think overall that the M6 form factor wins the day, though. IQ difference is very small overall, but occasionally, there is a scenario on the M6II where the resolution and detail is absolutely mind-blowing.
I daily drive an original EOS M. I got it last year and it’s great. Even in lowlight it works great. I haven’t used any first party lenses yet but using my film camera lenses (Pentax 50mm f2, Industar N-61 etc) and MF TTartisan lenses like the 25mm f2 is really easy on the wallet. Crowdak is a great film simulation too, definitely my favourite If you want focus peaking on M-bodies then you can try Magic Lantern. It’s mostly for video but the manual focus aids are really good for vintage lenses IMO. It gives you much nicer punch in/xoom focusing and then it adds focus peaking (at least to the OG M). Thanks for the video!
Put on your future to do list for EDC. Sony A7C. Just bought one for $900. Small. Lightweight. Full frame. Sony autofocus. Lots of lense choices. EVF. IBIS is OK. Good video. I haven’t played with mine much though. Just be on the lookout. Had an extraordinary experience. Went to a local camera store extravaganza with plan to purchase a 3 stop ND filter. Between the store and brand discounts Bought LUMIX G9ii for $899. New in box. The price was so enticing I just had to have it. Mask On Nurse Marty (Ret)
Omg this channel is dangerous. I just went down the craziest rabbit hole on small edc cameras and finally decided on the m6. I kept going back to the Ricoh gr iii/x but the short battery life was a huge turn off. Going to order one today!
I've been shooting the original M since 2014, love that 22mm lens. Camera is slow, but I shot manual focus film cameras for about 50 years before that so not too big a deal. It even has face tracking that works when it feels like it. The photos from it are great, I just keep pushing the shutter button. For someone shooting for fun it's a great camera. Generally I get a few that are worth looking at. If I need more speed or different length lenses I have the EOS 40d still working. It's just more work and louder to shoot.
Awesome vid. My main edc is the m200! AF is faster than m6 and it’s so tiny. I paid like $520 for m200 + 15-45mm kit and 22mm lens. Such a good deal.. canon made a mistake ending the ef-m line.
I had been considering getting the M6 or M6 ii to replace my GR iii as my secondary everyday (and party) camera for quite a while. Just spotted a good deal (M6 + 22mm pancake + EVF for ~$500) after watching your video. Love it!
As a personal fun camera the M6 Mark II was the closest to perfection for me. I had to sell it (still regretting it). With the 22mm, 11-22mm (best lens in the system imho) and 55-200mm that was a fantastic setup. Same size as a m4/3 kit but with a bigger sensor and (much) better AF. You can set three separate dial to each part of the exposure triangle and has a dedicated button for back button focus. Noise levels are much better on the M6 II. And btw I never noticed the known shutter shock issue on the M6 II. So one more vote for the M6 II from me :) Love the channel!
I’ve also been on a journey to find the perfect EDC camera. Even through so many cameras but now I’ve narrowed it down to Leica Q, Canon G10 and GRIIIx
I have to say, since I discovered your channel in the beginning of this year you are not good for my camera addiction 😜😅😀 Although I own modern systems like the Nikon Zf, LUMIX S9 and Leica Q3 43, I still have a lot of fun using and testing out other and older cameras. And you were a big influence me getting the LUMIX LX100, Canon 5D Classic (currently also looking at the Nikon D700 😅😃), Fuji XT1 and the Leica M8 - and that’s only digital 😆 And for every camera you were always on point and I enjoy these very much 😊 Your videos are for me personally so refreshing and I really enjoy every single one of them watching. I hope you and your family are doing well after your lost and grief. All the best to you and greetings from Germany 🍀
Went down the same rabbit hole about a year ago. I have the M50 II as my EDC, and decided to go with the M3 with the EVF-DC1 as my backup, exactly because of all the same limitations you mentioned on the M6. Really wanted the M6 II but that was about 2.5x the price of the M3. The one thing I really miss is the Silent Mode. I actually see the limited number of lenses as a positive so I don't get "analysis paralysis" that I get with bigger systems. And yes, that 22mm is the bees knees. For now, I have solved my GAS problems, until the rumored fixed lens medium format Fujifilm camera comes out (or not) next year.
I've lost count how many times I instantly went to look for gear you reviewed 😅 Lately, finally, I come to my senses repeating to myself that I already have the gear I need/want. Currently, I'm playing with LX3 or TZ80 as daily tiny cameras, however, image uality is not on par with camera I'm used to. Apart from E-M1 mk2 which I got for incredible low price, my the most favourite small camera is Lumix Gx80. There are so many great tiny lens! 12-32mm kit zoom, 20mm f1.7, 14mm f2.5, Olympus 45mm f1.8. And if I feel "fancy" 12-35mm f2.8 for bigger footprint but amazing quality. I haven't seen review of GX lineup here (yet) 😅 maybe it will be the next EDC 😄
I loved both the Nikon Coolpix A (had two of them, one brand new when it came out, and then a used one from Japan), and the Canon m series. I had the m100, and loved the form factor. Would’ve loved an additional dial, because you could shoot it manual, but a lot of it was through touch screen.
Actually look into adapting the EFS 55-250 STM instead of using the 55-200. I use this small setup when I need more reach with the kids, like at the zoo, etc. 👍
@@OneMonthTwoCamerasI love the 55-200. It’s really sharp, focuses fast and the stabilisation is excellent. It is a bit plasticky but that means it is nice and light.
Great video! I love the eos m system, i took so many photos with it, so compact. Combined with the sigma lenses such a joy! There are some limitations, but its ok.
In terms of high-quality compact cameras, I'm currently gravitating around these three: Olympus XZ-1, Nikon 1 V3, and Fujifilm X70. I like the Olympus for the CCD and the colours, the V3 because it gives me a bit more flexibility having interchangeable lenses, and the Fuji X70 because it has the largest sensor of the three and the film simulations. Special mention: the Pentax Q. It doesn't meet almost any of your criteria, but (as you know) it's a really fun camera to carry around - I can put the camera, an additional Pentax Q lens, all my Pentax Auto-110 lenses and the adapter in one small & lightweight camera bag. But if I was forced to choose only one among these right now, I'd likely pick the Fujifilm X70. I always found the Canon EOS M system intriguing, and your video only reinforced my curiosity, hehe! Cheers! //Rick
The only cameras I have right now are Canon EOS Ms (M6 and M50), and ever since I started following your content (1-2 years ago?) I've been hoping to see you review one of them, but I assumed they were simply too modern and vanilla for you to care. I liked them a lot, but I simply didn't think of them as "fun" cameras, compared to some of the older and quirkier cameras you've reviewed. And at the same time, they weren't modern enough to have all the bells and whistles of the latest Sony or Canon R. After watching almost all of your reviews, I fell on the gear trap for a bit, obsessing about the perfect camera to buy, and which was supposed to be much cooler than my unremarkable "dead system" Canons. Luckily I got over that phase before spending money I didn't have into a new body, and I really got in tune with the "no bad cameras" philosophy which was the whole point of your gear reviews. Then you started the mystery cam thing on Instagram, and it really got me interested. This was the first time I was really expecting a particular video of yours to drop (usually I just stumble upon them some days or even weeks after you post), and it was so funny to finally discover this misterious camera you were enjoying so much was the same one I used to think of as boring! By now I've already fallen in love with my M6, but it still made me happy to see you enjoy it as well, confirming it is a genuinely good and fun camera on its own right. That being said, I never really invested in native EOS M glass: I only have the kit lens, a fully manual 50mm f1.1 Chinese lens, a vintage Canon FD 24mm f2.8 and an adapted (and gigantic) Canon EF 16-35mm f2.8 that kinda defeats the purpose of having such a small body but has served me well for shooting weddings, which is something I do from time to time (so yes, these are perfectly capable machines, apart from being fun EDC/friends and family compact cameras). Funnily enough, just this month I bought the 22mm f2 you loved so much, and got the Sigma 56mm f1.4 as an (early) Christmas gift, but I'm still expecting them in the mail because I live in Argentina. Your review made me even more eager to receive them and start having even more fun with my camera. Thanks for what you do! Your content has really shaped the way I see gear now. I got my first DSLR when I was 13 so I basically grew up shooting, but I never had as much fun as I've been having these past two years after getting a small body with the kit zoom and two manual primes. Greetings from Buenos Aires!
Uhh I‘ve been thinking about getting the m50 for a while (even talked to you on IG about it, thanks again for helping me out there) and this video reasured me to get either that one or maybe even the m6II (whichever I find for cheaper I guess)☺️thank you soo much I always appreciate your insights and adore your pictures/ videos
Love that 22 mm have it on my original Canon M sadly my girlfriend accidentally dropped is and now the aperture blades are flying through the lens housing. To expensive to repair.. a new one would make more sense but not going since I'm rocking a Fuji X100T since 2015. Have a lot more users but still get back to that one when quickly grabbing a camera to take out with the kids/family etc. Think I would also still do that with the M and 22 if it had not been destroyed. Love the images.
Fuji XT1 broke and irrepairable. The good news was that WEX refunded me, as it was under warranty. Prices continue to rise so I decided to move away from FUJI. Looked really hard at the M6 and could not get around lack of an EVF without spending more money... You mentioned an Olympus EM5 as being a good weather sealed alternative so after investigation I was hooked on an Olympus OM-D E-M5.. Puchased one from WEX with 12 months warranty for a reasonable price. Added a Pana 20mm f1.8 Pancake lens and have a really pocketable set up. Nearly sent it back after a day as the comments about the menu are right. Quite the worst I have ever endured. Only saved by the good folks on TH-cam and I breathed a sigh of relief when the Q menu finally revealed itself from where it was hiding after a couple of stressfull days. So glad I persisted. Great sharp pictures and highly recomend the camera and lens combo. Thanks so much for your channel and the advice on affordable kit.
That is such a wonderful combination and bit of kid! I agree the menus are atrocious but once you got it set up and can forget it. It is just truly a wonderful way to work.
Great video. I think I've settled on the Fujifilm X30 as my everyday as it's got an EVF that my Fujifilm X-M1 of similar age doesn't. Hybrid autofocus (AF) system that uses both contrast and phase detection and it's ten years old! Oh, manual zoom 28-112 with OIS as well! Smaller sensor but still awesome Fuji colours and I don't print, if I wanted to I'd use my Fujifilm X-S20.
You should try a fuji xt20 as an everyday carry with the 18 55 F2.8 and the pancake 27mm f2.8 for a pocket camera. Has the viewfinder decent sensor and is fabulous to handle
I have at least two EDC's that I carry simultaneously… Canon M5 (has the viewfinder), and Canon M50 with a wide 12mm 7Artisans for street. I carry the M50 around my neck, for what I call: "snap decisions", and the M5 with the M22 lens on it in my side-bag, for what I call: "stop decisions". The M5 has the waist level screen (like the M6) as well as the laggy shutter, and so I only use it for non-moving subjects, like portraits, or environments… The M50 on the otherhand, is waaaay faster, and can be switched on, and ready to fire in milliseconds, hence I use it mainly for street photography. The two cameras compliment each other when used in this way. Canon are stupid, they missed a great opportunity to merge the two when they upgraded the M50, which in some ways, to me, is the better of the two cameras. Strange then since the M5 was supposed to be the flagship. M5 prices used are lower than M50 prices, so that says it all. Never used the M6, but I think I'll probably go for the mk2, if I do decide to try it. Hopefully they've resolved the laggy shutter thing.... Nice upload. Keep on keeping on… ps. I love that UFO lens, despite it's shortcomings...
A pair of things about lenses: - Why Canon? Why don't you port your 32 and 22mm to the RF-S mount? Same lens, same optics, small size, but RF mount. Please Canon!!! Do it! - It would be great if someone (Megadap I'm looking at you) make a EF-M to Nikon Z adapter. The flange distance and diameter allows it, and the Canon AF firmware is already known. Megadap make the EF to Z and the Sony E to Z. It wouldn't be difficult to make the EF-M to Z.
For real, especially if they thought it good enough for the 33mp M6 ii. Would be great for the cheaper R50, too. I mean, it basically is the M50 of R Mount..
I have gone similar route trying LX100, Coolpix A, Fuji XF10 but finally ended up with a new Ricoh GRIIIx. Some of these system cameras which are bit older (Canon M, M43) finally adds up when you add price of lens etc. and the price to value for the performance sometimes does not make sense. I have bigger cameras but for a daily carry I realized I better just look for good deal on Ricoh.
Allie! Song choice always on point (and love the bit in the end 😁) so cool that you reviewed that camera ages ago with adorama - now I wonder if I actually saw the video ages ago but never made the connection! A friend of mine had the m100 and the 22mm pancake as her edc/family cam and that started me thinking about the m line several years ago…it too had the bounceable pop up flash, but no hot shoe and optional evf but oh so compact. I almost got the m200, but then saw the m50 at a great price, and then bought the m50ii a year later. Agree that the mechanical shutter is *not* discreet at all, and I’d be fine with it if it didn’t sound like something was broken 😅. I know your priority is to keep the package small, but if you get the EF-efm adaptor it opens the system up to even more lens options if you get bored with the m-mount offerings. I got the 22mm, sigma 30mm and 56mm contemporary primes and I love them - 16mm is a TH-camr staple, but it was too big and unwieldy. Anyways, great video as always, take care!
What about a Sony RX1 or R1R? Reasonable price nowadays ans besides the relatively slow autofocus an absolut beast in IQ an FF. I have one too, with the external EVF. Such a nice combo. Kind regards from Germany. Alex Ps: Next one will be probably a M6 😊
The M system may have been discontinued by Canon, but I have no intention of getting rid of my M bodies, M lenses and third party lenses. I own the M, M10, M50 and the three zooms, 22mm, 28mm macro and several 7 Artisans, TT Artisans and Meike lenses. It's a great system and there are plenty of great deals out there. I also shoot many of my EF lenses and also adapt many "vintage" lenses for even more choice of glass. PS: Dear Santa, please can I have the M 32mm.
I'me such a fan of EVF, and most of the time the optional EVF attachment can equal the cost of the used camera. So that would impact final cost for me. Love it was a Canon, was afraid it was going to be a Leica, hah.
Absolutely right about the EVF. I got mine packaged with the body but it takes patience and hunting to find that at a good price. That's where the M50 becomes the more cost effective (but less ergonomic) camera.
@@seanb480 The A6400 is almost certainly a better camera. I had it and loved it. And even though they're almost identically sized, the M6 feels smaller somehow, though not with the EVF. Both great though. And more lenses for E mount for sure. But the A6400 also sells for double the M6.
@@OneMonthTwoCameras good point on the EF-M and the impact of discontinued lens on bodies. Same goes for the Sony A-mount. I have the 16-50/2.8, weather-sealed. Got it for $99!
I think you are making a mistake not considering a M43 camera like the OM-5 - the quality is excellent; small, light and pretty; lots of small high-quality lenses; lots of interesting computational options including hand-held hi res; and the ISO etc have improved remarkably.
You are so much driving my GAS problem...been looking at an update from my GX7 and EPL-6...but simply can't justify it at German prices as a retiree. Maybe I can find one when I am back in Japan...
So great to find out which camera this was, been loving your shots on insta with this setup, definitely Leica-tier! 16:34 would be awesome to know what model filter you’ve got on the EF-M22 F2 here. Thank you!
@@OneMonthTwoCameras thanks so much! I have the older EOS M which I've mainly been using with Magic Lantern (very glitchy, finnicky software albeit with some outrageously amazing video options if one shoots manual lol). looking forward to trying both the 22 and 32 at some point, hopefully I might get one for xmas lol
Only sad thing is the lack of 40mm primes. Ricoh newest camera has 40mm equivalent lens but the Canon M only has the 28mm f3.5 which is very slow. I much rather do the Olympus Pen F with the 40mm F1.7, Olympus colours are so good, better than Canon in many cases but colours are subjective so. Olympus newest pen cameras have PDAF if I remember correctly.
What about the older Fuji X-Trans small bodies with EVF? IE, X-T20. Along with the 27mm pancake, it's a compact setup. I have the X-S10, but you wouldn't like the flippy screen.
If you want a really compact film camera, pick a Rollei 35, the world's smallest 35mm mechanical camera until now. Fits in my front jeans pocket (not skinny, for sure...), has Zeiss lens and is all manual. Great quality on a small package. I have three :)
@ I zoomed in on the LX3 when it first came out but your review pushed me over the edge. 😏 sometimes it’s just a remark like Alex Majoli’s “the file is fine”. Beyond that it’s a lot of work. 😊
The sigma 16mm is beautiful and sharp but its size and fact that the lense size protrudes and creates a shadow with the pop up Flash on my Sony A6500 is an issue for sure. The small pocketable size is totally a factor
Really nice thoughts & insights, as always! Could you possibly post a clip of the shutter firing, how loud is it?! Also have you tried Sony's A6000/6300/6400? Really similar concept, It'd be great to hear your experience of any of them & how they compare to M6! Best wishes
@OneMonthTwoCameras Hiya that would be super amazing thanks! Really love your photography, YT vids & passion for the older cameras, keep doing what your doing! 👍
The abandonment of the M mount cameras helped in my decision to switch from Canon after 50 years. If they had come out with an M5 body with IBIS and had made any sort of attempt at fleshing out a lens lineup, I would be using it to this day. Could have been a contender.
As someone who's only modern digital camera for the last 6 years was an m50 until this week (I bought an Xe1 after drooling over it since before buying the m50) the m50 is a good camera but it's not fun to shoot... The controls are very annoying. I like the image quality better than the Xe1 but I enjoy shooting the Xe1 more because of the dials and form factor of the camera
I was craving for more Mpx although my current 20 are enough, then when i got 25 from lumix it came with fking 40Mb files and i instantly regretted. But the bigger issue is you need to shoot wide open to render all this resolution because of diffraction, and even then is not guaranteed, don't know the math, you only have larger files but not more details. If you want small camera makes no sense to me to go beyound MFT (especially on a dead system), i'm using an EP7, but no evf, which i don't need often, i prefer the tilt screen
Thorough. Is she good for operating one-handed? Do you find the burst mode satisfactory both in terms of quantity and quality of accuracy? Who was that young lady in the Adorama video? She’s a beauty 😅.
I hadn't thought of the one handedness that much. But I think yeah, easy to shoot one handed. Though now I have to see if that's true tomorrow. I don't actually use burst mode either so I'll have to check that out. No idea about the young lady in the Adorama video though :P
M series here and m50 I ls mines...my m50 is my edc never leavew my side ...tanks for this vid Allie....🎉🎉❤ much lovw..also u need to get some picture profiles
Hey Ali great to see some love for the M series! I still own and love my m100 with too many lenses. For the manual focus, have you tried touching the little magnifier icon on the screen (bottom right)? Cause on my m100 it zooms directly to the last magnification I've used and then you can zoom out just by pressing Set (button or on the screen).
One self correction: the M5 also has dual pixel autofocus.
Great video!
The M5 also has a built-in viewfinder, so the hot shoe is not sacrificed when using the finder.
And the M5 is a more solid body ... Soon to be one for my GAS collection.
You had me sold at bringing this in to a Chappell Roan concert
I’m glad the prints got to you! But your daughter takes the cake… my kids say the same thing too 😂Maybe one day we can host a printing party!
That would be amazing!!!! Thank you again for the insane prints. I'm framing them today with the girls!

Yes! M6, m6 mk2, m50 & m3 here. Canon abandoned the m system way too soon. The 22 was way underrated. Great vid! The jpeg does mess with reds on my m6's.
I agree! The 22 is a classic.
Original M here with 22. Have thought often about snagging a later EOS M body.
@ks22187 Oh, do. I'd guess the prices are good nowadays.
@@ks22187 ... Do, they are worth it, and using EF lenses work well on them as well.
Try the faithful or something instead of normal? It doesn't boost the reds, it should be as you see it.
The Chappell Roan reference is next level!
Man she just crushed that room
Pleasant surprise today seeing my little friend the M6 Mk1 getting some love :)
Although I mainly use mine with the 22MM and adapted EF lenses from my older 5D Mk2, the 32MM F1.4 is still on my wish-list to get...hopefully sometime in the coming year.
I don't know...There's a VERY limited selection of native EF-M glass, and the separate EVF for the M6 often is expensive and hard to find. I would personally go with the Panasonic GX line of cameras or the Olympus E-M10 line. Lovely compact rangefinder format for the GX and both Panny and Oly have decent built in EVFs, and, most importantly of all, a MASSIVE selection of native m43 glass. The Panasonic GM5 is even more tiny, and the G100 is dirt cheap because it got so maligned. The later GX cameras also make fine 4K b-roll devices. Only real advantage of the Canon cameras is the dual pixel autofocus for video, and slightly larger APS-C sensor. By the way, you should be able to get the mk 1 LX100 for way cheaper than the $500 mentioned. I've gotten it for half that price used with patience. A steal, IMHO! Thanks for the video!
Great video, and it sounds like a neat camera. Your Instagram teasers had me intrigued. I really enjoy your photos.
Thank you!
The M50 is also a nice camera, two people I know have them, including my gramps that's been a broadcast engineer for must of his life. His first digital camera used was a 1999 2.7mp D1 borrowed from the studio. The m50 is a capable little camera and they've got awesome sensors in them, you can't go wrong with the image quality. It was enough for him to stop looking for better and just use it. When you're 72, you're probably sick of carrying a brick when you're out hiking around.
@21:40 you can touch the screen on the lower right corner to punch in to manual focus! I was also annoyed at the two step process until I realized that little magnifying glass icon does the same thing! The M6 is a really fun camera and looks nice with the 7Artisans 35mm f1.4 silver color lens mounted to it. It's a really well built lens and feels good in the hand.
Very true! The magnifying glass is a great feature, but unfortunately, doesn’t work with your eye up to the EVF, which is how I like to shoot. When using the EVF there’s no direct path to punch the zoom which drives me crazy, but apparently it is available on the MKII
@@OneMonthTwoCameras oh, I see. I don't have the EVF. I do have the M50 MKii and it has single button magnify thru EVF.. Canon always seems to do weird things with their cameras...
@@OneMonthTwoCameras Great video as usual. After hearing your must have list and reading this coment, have you ever considered the Lumix GX 80 or GX9 ? Not the greatest auto-focus in the business but still quite decent, other than that, they pretty much tick all the boxes...they also have IBIS which is great for video or night shots.
Cheers
@@NunoJoelPrivado I love my GX85/9. It ticks many of the EDC boxes. Wish LUMIX included a microphone jac. Love the L monochrome D jpeg. My favorite B&W. Just bought the G9ii and looking forward to trying the Leica monochrome. Just picked up a GX85 for $300 with battery charger while visiting NYC the middle of September. My backup body.

It is indeed available on the m6 Mark ii and I use all the time!
You could talk about wood shavings (or something) and I would be excited that there's a new video from you! I happen to love cameras, so I am always glad when you have a new video! It's fun to hear about an everyday carry camera and what some of the considerations are. We all have slightly different criteria and I love hearing how people work this out. Most of my cameras are small, although I do love a chunky slr/dslr, and a bit of my collection was inspired by you! Thanks for your videos, photography, and your energy and presence! It's good to see you!
Thank you Kary!
Looks a great camera and good value used. The Chappel Roan footage was the easter egg I needed in this video 💕
❤️❤️❤️
I’ve been on a multi year quest for a large sensor compact for under 500. I refuse to pay Ricoh or Fuji prices. Saw this video and immediately went on MPB and grabbed an m6 and 22mm excellent condition for just under 500. MPB sponsor this channel!
Yessss!!! Cant wait to hear how you get on with it!
its sad that fuji prices used to be nothing crazy before the pandemic and now are double
@@Username_CC_ good point I bought my first xe2 for 200 bucks and unfortunately I sold it bc then the prices went up to 500. Sold my x100v for 1000 sadly during the pandemic right before the prices went bonkers
Congrats on your EDC! I found mine in the OM5.
Killer choice.
I absolutely love it, but… it’s still not small enough. The world desperately needs a truly stellar digi camera. I’m begging!
I had been waiting for the camera reveal since seeing you post banger pics on Instagram and am surprised the camera is a Canon! The colors sooc in my Canon M50 were leaving me uninspired, so I jumped to Fuji for the film sims. After watching your video and seeing your photos, I realized I really needed to learn editing instead of jumping from the Canon ship! I am enjoying Fuji, but I could have definitely saved some money. Oh well! Side note: thanks for all you do to inspire female wannabe photographers like me. 😊
Oh Sarah thank you for the note! Here for all the ladies and always over the moon to see comments like yours. Thanks for being here!!
OMG! I picked up an M6, EVF and 22mm f2 just last month. You’re right. Wonderful camera.
AHHH no way!! So great!
@ Replacing my beloved M5 that met with a sad ending.
@@larryeffler7108 oh dear!
Such wonderful enthusiasm, love it!! Who else started searching secondhand stock online even while the video was playing...?! Found one...tempted now 😊
I have the m6 mark ii. The thing i love most is that it has usb c charging and file transfer. One cable to rule them all!
that is truly what has me wanting it in addition to the faster punch to zoom in MF and touch to drag AF.
grownups are so caught up in everything fr :')
Christmas grownups is , every day 😊
😜
With all the crap we have to deal with day to day, we need this 🤣 she’ll get it once she gets older 😅
@@patrick8035 lol
She’s spitting facts!
Excited for this one.
🎉
I think I had the small button up front programed for manual focus when I owned the M6. The M6II has 4:3 crop in camera which gives you a MFT sensor size! Also higher pixel count equates to greater dynamic range at base ISO (with equal sensor arcitecture), so I found even nicer highlight rolloff on the MKII. Also, silent shutter and fully mechanical shutter are nice to have (M6II has them). The rear screen on the M6II is literally huge. I do think overall that the M6 form factor wins the day, though. IQ difference is very small overall, but occasionally, there is a scenario on the M6II where the resolution and detail is absolutely mind-blowing.
I daily drive an original EOS M. I got it last year and it’s great. Even in lowlight it works great. I haven’t used any first party lenses yet but using my film camera lenses (Pentax 50mm f2, Industar N-61 etc) and MF TTartisan lenses like the 25mm f2 is really easy on the wallet. Crowdak is a great film simulation too, definitely my favourite
If you want focus peaking on M-bodies then you can try Magic Lantern. It’s mostly for video but the manual focus aids are really good for vintage lenses IMO. It gives you much nicer punch in/xoom focusing and then it adds focus peaking (at least to the OG M). Thanks for the video!
Nice! That original M is sooooo cute!!!
Agreed can’t beat the original M with magic lantern I have 3 bodies all different colours.
Love the video, and for first time I actually already have this camera. Keep up the good work!!
Amazing! I hope you get out and shoot with it this weekend!
@@OneMonthTwoCameras you and me both, but California weather isn’t agreeing with that
Put on your future to do list for EDC. Sony A7C. Just bought one for $900. Small. Lightweight. Full frame. Sony autofocus. Lots of lense choices. EVF. IBIS is OK. Good video. I haven’t played with mine much though. Just be on the lookout.
Had an extraordinary experience. Went to a local camera store extravaganza with plan to purchase a 3 stop ND filter. Between the store and brand discounts Bought LUMIX G9ii for $899. New in box. The price was so enticing I just had to have it.

Yet another delightful review!
Thank you!
Omg this channel is dangerous. I just went down the craziest rabbit hole on small edc cameras and finally decided on the m6. I kept going back to the Ricoh gr iii/x but the short battery life was a huge turn off. Going to order one today!
Enjoy!!!
congrats on your EDC! I picked up an RX100VA after watching your RX100 video and contemplating for a little while
That's a great camera!
I've been shooting the original M since 2014, love that 22mm lens. Camera is slow, but I shot manual focus film cameras for about 50 years before that so not too big a deal. It even has face tracking that works when it feels like it. The photos from it are great, I just keep pushing the shutter button. For someone shooting for fun it's a great camera. Generally I get a few that are worth looking at. If I need more speed or different length lenses I have the EOS 40d still working. It's just more work and louder to shoot.
Love that!!
@@OneMonthTwoCameras I shoot quite a few different film cameras also.
Awesome vid. My main edc is the m200! AF is faster than m6 and it’s so tiny. I paid like $520 for m200 + 15-45mm kit and 22mm lens. Such a good deal.. canon made a mistake ending the ef-m line.
Wow love that! I'll have to check it out.
I had been considering getting the M6 or M6 ii to replace my GR iii as my secondary everyday (and party) camera for quite a while.
Just spotted a good deal (M6 + 22mm pancake + EVF for ~$500) after watching your video. Love it!
Ooo!! It’s such a great set up!!
As a personal fun camera the M6 Mark II was the closest to perfection for me. I had to sell it (still regretting it). With the 22mm, 11-22mm (best lens in the system imho) and 55-200mm that was a fantastic setup. Same size as a m4/3 kit but with a bigger sensor and (much) better AF. You can set three separate dial to each part of the exposure triangle and has a dedicated button for back button focus. Noise levels are much better on the M6 II. And btw I never noticed the known shutter shock issue on the M6 II. So one more vote for the M6 II from me :) Love the channel!
I’ve also been on a journey to find the perfect EDC camera. Even through so many cameras but now I’ve narrowed it down to Leica Q, Canon G10 and GRIIIx
I have to say, since I discovered your channel in the beginning of this year you are not good for my camera addiction 😜😅😀
Although I own modern systems like the Nikon Zf, LUMIX S9 and Leica Q3 43, I still have a lot of fun using and testing out other and older cameras. And you were a big influence me getting the LUMIX LX100, Canon 5D Classic (currently also looking at the Nikon D700 😅😃), Fuji XT1 and the Leica M8 - and that’s only digital 😆
And for every camera you were always on point and I enjoy these very much 😊
Your videos are for me personally so refreshing and I really enjoy every single one of them watching.
I hope you and your family are doing well after your lost and grief. All the best to you and greetings from Germany 🍀
I learn so much from your videos!
I'm so glad you find them helpful!
Went down the same rabbit hole about a year ago. I have the M50 II as my EDC, and decided to go with the M3 with the EVF-DC1 as my backup, exactly because of all the same limitations you mentioned on the M6. Really wanted the M6 II but that was about 2.5x the price of the M3. The one thing I really miss is the Silent Mode. I actually see the limited number of lenses as a positive so I don't get "analysis paralysis" that I get with bigger systems. And yes, that 22mm is the bees knees. For now, I have solved my GAS problems, until the rumored fixed lens medium format Fujifilm camera comes out (or not) next year.
Just picked one up last week slapped the crowdak on a custom picture style. Can’t wait to give it a go.
Yes!! Enjoy!
Lovely little cameras. I have the M5 with the 22mm. Awesome little setup for EDC. Great video; thankyou!
Thanks for watching!
Forget the camera I need the Chappell Roan concert 😂😂
Mission critical!
Yes!!!!!!!!
I've lost count how many times I instantly went to look for gear you reviewed 😅 Lately, finally, I come to my senses repeating to myself that I already have the gear I need/want. Currently, I'm playing with LX3 or TZ80 as daily tiny cameras, however, image uality is not on par with camera I'm used to. Apart from E-M1 mk2 which I got for incredible low price, my the most favourite small camera is Lumix Gx80. There are so many great tiny lens! 12-32mm kit zoom, 20mm f1.7, 14mm f2.5, Olympus 45mm f1.8. And if I feel "fancy" 12-35mm f2.8 for bigger footprint but amazing quality.
I haven't seen review of GX lineup here (yet) 😅 maybe it will be the next EDC 😄
I loved both the Nikon Coolpix A (had two of them, one brand new when it came out, and then a used one from Japan), and the Canon m series. I had the m100, and loved the form factor. Would’ve loved an additional dial, because you could shoot it manual, but a lot of it was through touch screen.
Love that! Yeah, I definitely like having my buttons and dials as well.
Great video like always! The 22mm & 32mm are awesome lenses. I also enjoy the 11-22mm when I need to go a wee bit wider.
I’ve definitely had my eye on the 11-22 as well as the 55-200. At which point I basically own all the lenses 😂
Actually look into adapting the EFS 55-250 STM instead of using the 55-200. I use this small setup when I need more reach with the kids, like at the zoo, etc. 👍
@@OneMonthTwoCamerasI love the 55-200. It’s really sharp, focuses fast and the stabilisation is excellent. It is a bit plasticky but that means it is nice and light.
@@andreasphotiou1886 I'm sold!!
Great video! I love the eos m system, i took so many photos with it, so compact. Combined with the sigma lenses such a joy! There are some limitations, but its ok.
In terms of high-quality compact cameras, I'm currently gravitating around these three: Olympus XZ-1, Nikon 1 V3, and Fujifilm X70. I like the Olympus for the CCD and the colours, the V3 because it gives me a bit more flexibility having interchangeable lenses, and the Fuji X70 because it has the largest sensor of the three and the film simulations. Special mention: the Pentax Q. It doesn't meet almost any of your criteria, but (as you know) it's a really fun camera to carry around - I can put the camera, an additional Pentax Q lens, all my Pentax Auto-110 lenses and the adapter in one small & lightweight camera bag. But if I was forced to choose only one among these right now, I'd likely pick the Fujifilm X70.
I always found the Canon EOS M system intriguing, and your video only reinforced my curiosity, hehe! Cheers! //Rick
What a wonderful video presentation! I have the Mark II version of the camera and I love it 😊
Glad you liked it! I feel like I'll end up with a Mark II eventually :P
The only cameras I have right now are Canon EOS Ms (M6 and M50), and ever since I started following your content (1-2 years ago?) I've been hoping to see you review one of them, but I assumed they were simply too modern and vanilla for you to care. I liked them a lot, but I simply didn't think of them as "fun" cameras, compared to some of the older and quirkier cameras you've reviewed. And at the same time, they weren't modern enough to have all the bells and whistles of the latest Sony or Canon R. After watching almost all of your reviews, I fell on the gear trap for a bit, obsessing about the perfect camera to buy, and which was supposed to be much cooler than my unremarkable "dead system" Canons. Luckily I got over that phase before spending money I didn't have into a new body, and I really got in tune with the "no bad cameras" philosophy which was the whole point of your gear reviews. Then you started the mystery cam thing on Instagram, and it really got me interested. This was the first time I was really expecting a particular video of yours to drop (usually I just stumble upon them some days or even weeks after you post), and it was so funny to finally discover this misterious camera you were enjoying so much was the same one I used to think of as boring! By now I've already fallen in love with my M6, but it still made me happy to see you enjoy it as well, confirming it is a genuinely good and fun camera on its own right. That being said, I never really invested in native EOS M glass: I only have the kit lens, a fully manual 50mm f1.1 Chinese lens, a vintage Canon FD 24mm f2.8 and an adapted (and gigantic) Canon EF 16-35mm f2.8 that kinda defeats the purpose of having such a small body but has served me well for shooting weddings, which is something I do from time to time (so yes, these are perfectly capable machines, apart from being fun EDC/friends and family compact cameras). Funnily enough, just this month I bought the 22mm f2 you loved so much, and got the Sigma 56mm f1.4 as an (early) Christmas gift, but I'm still expecting them in the mail because I live in Argentina. Your review made me even more eager to receive them and start having even more fun with my camera.
Thanks for what you do! Your content has really shaped the way I see gear now. I got my first DSLR when I was 13 so I basically grew up shooting, but I never had as much fun as I've been having these past two years after getting a small body with the kit zoom and two manual primes. Greetings from Buenos Aires!
Love this and thank you for ll the tips!!!!
You look amazing in the selfie u took w the canon EOS m6
Oh thank you!
Uhh I‘ve been thinking about getting the m50 for a while (even talked to you on IG about it, thanks again for helping me out there) and this video reasured me to get either that one or maybe even the m6II (whichever I find for cheaper I guess)☺️thank you soo much I always appreciate your insights and adore your pictures/ videos
Best of luck!!
Love that 22 mm have it on my original Canon M sadly my girlfriend accidentally dropped is and now the aperture blades are flying through the lens housing. To expensive to repair.. a new one would make more sense but not going since I'm rocking a Fuji X100T since 2015. Have a lot more users but still get back to that one when quickly grabbing a camera to take out with the kids/family etc. Think I would also still do that with the M and 22 if it had not been destroyed. Love the images.
Fuji XT1 broke and irrepairable. The good news was that WEX refunded me, as it was under warranty. Prices continue to rise so I decided to move away from FUJI. Looked really hard at the M6 and could not get around lack of an EVF without spending more money... You mentioned an Olympus EM5 as being a good weather sealed alternative so after investigation I was hooked on an Olympus OM-D E-M5.. Puchased one from WEX with 12 months warranty for a reasonable price. Added a Pana 20mm f1.8 Pancake lens and have a really pocketable set up. Nearly sent it back after a day as the comments about the menu are right. Quite the worst I have ever endured. Only saved by the good folks on TH-cam and I breathed a sigh of relief when the Q menu finally revealed itself from where it was hiding after a couple of stressfull days. So glad I persisted. Great sharp pictures and highly recomend the camera and lens combo. Thanks so much for your channel and the advice on affordable kit.
That is such a wonderful combination and bit of kid! I agree the menus are atrocious but once you got it set up and can forget it. It is just truly a wonderful way to work.
Great video. I think I've settled on the Fujifilm X30 as my everyday as it's got an EVF that my Fujifilm X-M1 of similar age doesn't. Hybrid autofocus (AF) system that uses both contrast and phase detection and it's ten years old! Oh, manual zoom 28-112 with OIS as well! Smaller sensor but still awesome Fuji colours and I don't print, if I wanted to I'd use my Fujifilm X-S20.
You should try a fuji xt20 as an everyday carry with the 18 55 F2.8 and the pancake 27mm f2.8 for a pocket camera. Has the viewfinder decent sensor and is fabulous to handle
I also got this set up before I ditched it for an xt1. I really love that 22mm lens!
The XT1 is such a lovely camera to hold. Some of my favorite ergos
I have at least two EDC's that I carry simultaneously… Canon M5 (has the viewfinder), and Canon M50 with a wide 12mm 7Artisans for street. I carry the M50 around my neck, for what I call: "snap decisions", and the M5 with the M22 lens on it in my side-bag, for what I call: "stop decisions". The M5 has the waist level screen (like the M6) as well as the laggy shutter, and so I only use it for non-moving subjects, like portraits, or environments… The M50 on the otherhand, is waaaay faster, and can be switched on, and ready to fire in milliseconds, hence I use it mainly for street photography. The two cameras compliment each other when used in this way. Canon are stupid, they missed a great opportunity to merge the two when they upgraded the M50, which in some ways, to me, is the better of the two cameras. Strange then since the M5 was supposed to be the flagship. M5 prices used are lower than M50 prices, so that says it all. Never used the M6, but I think I'll probably go for the mk2, if I do decide to try it. Hopefully they've resolved the laggy shutter thing.... Nice upload. Keep on keeping on… ps. I love that UFO lens, despite it's shortcomings...
awesome video! i went with the m6mk2 3 months ago and i love it for everyday use more than my r6mk2
AMAZING!!!
A pair of things about lenses:
- Why Canon? Why don't you port your 32 and 22mm to the RF-S mount? Same lens, same optics, small size, but RF mount. Please Canon!!! Do it!
- It would be great if someone (Megadap I'm looking at you) make a EF-M to Nikon Z adapter. The flange distance and diameter allows it, and the Canon AF firmware is already known. Megadap make the EF to Z and the Sony E to Z. It wouldn't be difficult to make the EF-M to Z.
For real, especially if they thought it good enough for the 33mp M6 ii.
Would be great for the cheaper R50, too. I mean, it basically is the M50 of R Mount..
I have gone similar route trying LX100, Coolpix A, Fuji XF10 but finally ended up with a new Ricoh GRIIIx. Some of these system cameras which are bit older (Canon M, M43) finally adds up when you add price of lens etc. and the price to value for the performance sometimes does not make sense. I have bigger cameras but for a daily carry I realized I better just look for good deal on Ricoh.
A couple of EDC cameras that I have and can recommend are the Lumix ZS100 and the Casio Exilim EX-Z1080.
Allie! Song choice always on point (and love the bit in the end 😁) so cool that you reviewed that camera ages ago with adorama - now I wonder if I actually saw the video ages ago but never made the connection! A friend of mine had the m100 and the 22mm pancake as her edc/family cam and that started me thinking about the m line several years ago…it too had the bounceable pop up flash, but no hot shoe and optional evf but oh so compact. I almost got the m200, but then saw the m50 at a great price, and then bought the m50ii a year later. Agree that the mechanical shutter is *not* discreet at all, and I’d be fine with it if it didn’t sound like something was broken 😅. I know your priority is to keep the package small, but if you get the EF-efm adaptor it opens the system up to even more lens options if you get bored with the m-mount offerings. I got the 22mm, sigma 30mm and 56mm contemporary primes and I love them - 16mm is a TH-camr staple, but it was too big and unwieldy. Anyways, great video as always, take care!
Thank you Patrick! And yeah, that EF-efm adapter is definitely something to look into.
What about a Sony RX1 or R1R? Reasonable price nowadays ans besides the relatively slow autofocus an absolut beast in IQ an FF. I have one too, with the external EVF. Such a nice combo. Kind regards from Germany. Alex
Ps: Next one will be probably a M6 😊
11:38 your model heritage showing!
The M system may have been discontinued by Canon, but I have no intention of getting rid of my M bodies, M lenses and third party lenses. I own the M, M10, M50 and the three zooms, 22mm, 28mm macro and several 7 Artisans, TT Artisans and Meike lenses. It's a great system and there are plenty of great deals out there.
I also shoot many of my EF lenses and also adapt many "vintage" lenses for even more choice of glass.
PS: Dear Santa, please can I have the M 32mm.
Hey TH-cam sent me here! Great video! Thanks 😊
Love that! Thanks for being here!
I love the eos m series ❤
I'me such a fan of EVF, and most of the time the optional EVF attachment can equal the cost of the used camera. So that would impact final cost for me. Love it was a Canon, was afraid it was going to be a Leica, hah.
Absolutely right about the EVF. I got mine packaged with the body but it takes patience and hunting to find that at a good price. That's where the M50 becomes the more cost effective (but less ergonomic) camera.
@@OneMonthTwoCameras ever tried the Sony a6400 (or similar?) This would be a nice comparison to the M6 in size and sensor.
@@seanb480 The A6400 is almost certainly a better camera. I had it and loved it. And even though they're almost identically sized, the M6 feels smaller somehow, though not with the EVF. Both great though. And more lenses for E mount for sure. But the A6400 also sells for double the M6.
@@OneMonthTwoCameras good point on the EF-M and the impact of discontinued lens on bodies. Same goes for the Sony A-mount. I have the 16-50/2.8, weather-sealed. Got it for $99!
The EOS M5 has a built-in viewfinder with similar size/specs. The M50 I &II also have built-in viewfinders, but they are more pricey.
Dont know if its already being said but the sony a6000 with the 20mm is also a great choice imo. had it, regret selling them
I think you are making a mistake not considering a M43 camera like the OM-5 - the quality is excellent; small, light and pretty; lots of small high-quality lenses; lots of interesting computational options including hand-held hi res; and the ISO etc have improved remarkably.
I have m(red) m10(blue) m50. I love those cameras for its lens mount adequate for its sensor size
Nice!!
You are so much driving my GAS problem...been looking at an update from my GX7 and EPL-6...but simply can't justify it at German prices as a retiree. Maybe I can find one when I am back in Japan...
What lens did you bring for chapel
So great to find out which camera this was, been loving your shots on insta with this setup, definitely Leica-tier!
16:34 would be awesome to know what model filter you’ve got on the EF-M22 F2 here. Thank you!
I should have mentioned that! I was trying out a circular polarizer, but it wasn't used for any of the shots seen in the video.
@@OneMonthTwoCameras thanks so much! I have the older EOS M which I've mainly been using with Magic Lantern (very glitchy, finnicky software albeit with some outrageously amazing video options if one shoots manual lol). looking forward to trying both the 22 and 32 at some point, hopefully I might get one for xmas lol
@ 🤶
Why not Fujifilm X-E series or sony 6xxx series? Don't get me wrong I have dreamt of owning M6 II and 22MM
Maybe you can like Olympus em10 lineup
Only sad thing is the lack of 40mm primes. Ricoh newest camera has 40mm equivalent lens but the Canon M only has the 28mm f3.5 which is very slow.
I much rather do the Olympus Pen F with the 40mm F1.7, Olympus colours are so good, better than Canon in many cases but colours are subjective so. Olympus newest pen cameras have PDAF if I remember correctly.
What about the older Fuji X-Trans small bodies with EVF? IE, X-T20. Along with the 27mm pancake, it's a compact setup. I have the X-S10, but you wouldn't like the flippy screen.
The X-T20 is great! But can't match the AF and tracking of the M6 which was probably the most important factor for me in addition to portability.
If you want a really compact film camera, pick a Rollei 35, the world's smallest 35mm mechanical camera until now. Fits in my front jeans pocket (not skinny, for sure...), has Zeiss lens and is all manual. Great quality on a small package. I have three :)
Brilliant camera. Also love the Minnox
For me the Olympus Pen F is the winner but unbelievably expensive used.
m50 is great too with 22mm or 7artisans 50 equvalent 1.2 lens.
I'm learning about so many other lenses! Thanks for the hot tip.
I cracked up at the violin 😂😂😂😂
😜
I always say you don’t know a recipe till you’ve made it but these reviews come pretty close to the actual experience.
That is a highly flattering remark! 🙏🏻❤️
@ I zoomed in on the LX3 when it first came out but your review pushed me over the edge. 😏 sometimes it’s just a remark like Alex Majoli’s “the file is fine”. Beyond that it’s a lot of work. 😊
@ haha! Love Alex. Amazing photographer, and great philosophy.
Amazing photos 🎉 I’d say get the original Leica Q and never look back. It’s my absolute favorite Daily carry
Love the Q original! I will say the advantage to this is having such a small and light set up. An ideal world has both camera in it. 😂
@@OneMonthTwoCameras lol ideal world would be a small Leica Q with a 24mm-75mm f2 zoom that fits in ones pocket. BOOOOOOMMmm
@ haha! If only it was for damn physics! 😛
I definitely want the m6ii
Also if you were still looking for a flash, the godox tt350 is nice and light (zoom r2 ttl mini on flashpoint I think?)
Yiiii!!! Thank you for the suggestion! Just got it on a solid Black Friday discount!
@@OneMonthTwoCameras nice, even better! It’s a good little flash, even does hss and can control other godox flashes!
@ 😍😍
That is a very interesting camera, sadly canon didnt give a 28mm equivalent on the market, so one could have a whole system with 28-35-50mm
Agreed. It's a big missing piece.
The sigma 16mm is beautiful and sharp but its size and fact that the lense size protrudes and creates a shadow with the pop up Flash on my Sony A6500 is an issue for sure. The small pocketable size is totally a factor
Really nice thoughts & insights, as always!
Could you possibly post a clip of the shutter firing, how loud is it?!
Also have you tried Sony's A6000/6300/6400? Really similar concept, It'd be great to hear your experience of any of them & how they compare to M6!
Best wishes
Shall do! Look out for answers in the next video.
@OneMonthTwoCameras Hiya that would be super amazing thanks! Really love your photography, YT vids & passion for the older cameras, keep doing what your doing! 👍
@ thank you!
The abandonment of the M mount cameras helped in my decision to switch from Canon after 50 years. If they had come out with an M5 body with IBIS and had made any sort of attempt at fleshing out a lens lineup, I would be using it to this day. Could have been a contender.
It really could have. They never seem to have really taken it that seriously unfortunately.
As someone who's only modern digital camera for the last 6 years was an m50 until this week (I bought an Xe1 after drooling over it since before buying the m50) the m50 is a good camera but it's not fun to shoot... The controls are very annoying. I like the image quality better than the Xe1 but I enjoy shooting the Xe1 more because of the dials and form factor of the camera
Also I hate that they just abandoned the lens system for the ef-m mount... And adapting is fine but I'd like more native options
That’s definitely why I angled for the M6. I need my buttons and dials and the M50 didn’t appear to offer that.
I love old compact cameras. 😊
Saaaaame
Same!
I was craving for more Mpx although my current 20 are enough, then when i got 25 from lumix it came with fking 40Mb files and i instantly regretted. But the bigger issue is you need to shoot wide open to render all this resolution because of diffraction, and even then is not guaranteed, don't know the math, you only have larger files but not more details. If you want small camera makes no sense to me to go beyound MFT (especially on a dead system), i'm using an EP7, but no evf, which i don't need often, i prefer the tilt screen
Can you try adapting om or Leica m lenses to it for science? cant find any info on it anywhere
Yes! Keep an eye out for results in my next video
Have you had a chance to shoot the campsmap camera? The new v103 has some improvements and I'm curious to see what your take on it is.
👀 I have not!
Thorough. Is she good for operating one-handed? Do you find the burst mode satisfactory both in terms of quantity and quality of accuracy? Who was that young lady in the Adorama video? She’s a beauty 😅.
I hadn't thought of the one handedness that much. But I think yeah, easy to shoot one handed. Though now I have to see if that's true tomorrow. I don't actually use burst mode either so I'll have to check that out. No idea about the young lady in the Adorama video though :P
Love the comment "don't get why grown ups are so caught up in this!"
hehehe! she's onto something :P
You are like me, the search never ends 😂
NEVER 😂
M series here and m50 I ls mines...my m50 is my edc never leavew my side ...tanks for this vid Allie....🎉🎉❤ much lovw..also u need to get some picture profiles
Love that!
Hey Ali great to see some love for the M series! I still own and love my m100 with too many lenses. For the manual focus, have you tried touching the little magnifier icon on the screen (bottom right)? Cause on my m100 it zooms directly to the last magnification I've used and then you can zoom out just by pressing Set (button or on the screen).
Yes that is a great feature! Unfortunately it doesn't work when using the EVF though, which is how I always shoot. Alas....
