Canon EOS M Mirrorless Roundup - 2022
As with their popular DSLR range, Canon has a range of Mirrorless cameras aimed at each segment of the market. While their professional level EOS R range has professionals trading in their heavy DSLR gear for a more portable and lightweight camera system, Canon’s EOS M range are high-quality entry-level models that make the transition to the interchangeable lens world simple and stress-free.
With this roundup, we will take a look at the consumer level EOS M range of cameras, and try to uncover which Canon Mirrorless camera is right for you.
Canon EOS M50
- 4K Video
- 3-inch Vari-angle Touch screen
- Built-in Bluetooth, WiFI & NFC
- Dual Pixel CMOS AF
The Canon EOS M50 is a newer model with a similar build and size to the EOS M5. The advantages that this newer model has over the older M5 are quite apparent, including a faster and more accurate autofocus system with more points, 4K resolution video, a faster processor, and increased continuous shooting speeds.
Both cameras feature a tilting screen, but the newer M50 tilts out to the side as well as up and down 180-degrees - this makes it easier to operate when you are in front of your camera. Thanks to these inclusions, as well as it retaining a microphone input, the Canon EOS M50 is a great choice of camera for vlogging for beginners.
Canon EOS M50 II
- 4K Video
- 3-inch Vari-angle Touch screen
- Built-in Bluetooth, WiFi & NFC
- Vertical Video Support
The Canon EOS M50 II is an update of the EOS M50 but you shouldn't feel bad if you'd have trouble choosing between the two in the lineup, as they look virtually identical. Any improvements made in the EOS M50 II have been made internally, and they include a number of tweaks to AF functionality, including better low-light AF performance and numerous updates to Eye AF, as well as improved battery life, and perhaps most notably, the EOS M50 II can livestream directly to YouTube.
The Canon EOS M50 II features a familiar 24MP APS-C sensor and 10 frames per second continuous shooting rate, while a host of features make this lightweight mirrorless camera, which weighs in at just 388 grams, perfect for content creation; these include 4K video recording, a tilting and touch-sensitive LCD screen, a microphone input, and vertical video support.
Canon EOS M6 II
- 32MP APS-C CMOS Sensor
- 14 FPS Continuous Shooting
- 4K30p Video Recording
- Removable OLED EVF
The enthusiast-friendly Canon EOS M6 Mark II is the newest member of the EOS M range. This compact and lightweight camera features a new high-resolution 32MP APS-C image sensor, so it is capable of producing highly-detailed photographic prints. The versatile EOS M6 Mark II can shoot UHD 4K video and features a continuous shooting rate of up to 14 frames per second. This camera is another excellent choice for vlogging, thanks to its tilting screen and microphone input, as well as its size, which is more suitable for content creation on the go and travel photography.
The M6 Mark II comes bundled with an external viewfinder, which means you can experience some classic eye-level composing, but remove the viewfinder if a more portable kit is in order. With its built-in Bluetooth and WiFi connectivity, you can control your camera remotely via your smart device, as well as transfer files quickly, to avoid too much delay between capturing and sharing.
Canon EOS M200
- 24MP APS-C CMOS Sensor
- 3-inch touch-sensitive, tilting LCD screen
- UHD 4K Video
- Built-in WiFI & NFC Connectivity
At the entry point of the market, you will find the portable and lightweight Canon EOS M200. With its small stature and touchscreen-based operation, the EOS M200 is an ideal first interchangeable lens camera, as the learning curve is not too great if you are coming from a smartphone camera background. This simplicity, however, does not mean that this camera is light on quality. The EOS M200 features a 24MP APS-C sensor on the inside which is worlds above what you will find in a compact camera. It is also more than capable on the movie front, with UHD 4K video on offer, while the 3-inch touchscreen is also tiltable, making it great for selfies.
The Canon EOS M200 features Canon’s speedy and reliable Dual Pixel CMOS AF, so you can use the video recording as well as the burst shooting functions with freedom. The EOS M200 is great for beginners looking to learn more about how to capture great photographs, thanks to its visual guide and feature assistant.
