    Weather Sealing

    Canon M6 doesn't have any environmental sealings on its body so you got to be extra careful to protect it against water and dust. If you shoot under these conditions very often, consider checking Top Mirrorless Cameras with Weather Sealing page.

    Canon M6 Lens Mount and Lenses

    Canon M6 has a Canon EF-M lens mount and currently there are 29 native lenses available for this mount. Canon is criticized for joining the mirrorless game too late and not providing enough native lenses for the EF-M mount. To mitigate this problem, Canon M users can use EF-M adapter to use full selection of Canon EF and EF-S lenses with AF and Image stabilization.

    Canon M6 doesn't have a sensor based image stabilization system but 6 of these lenses already comes with Optical Image Stabilization.

    Canon M6 LCD

    Canon M6 has a Tilting 3.00-inch LCD screen with a resolution of 1,040k dots. Tilting screens are more photography oriented while Fully articulated screens are highly preferred by videographers. Both the screen size and the screen resolution is up to the standards of this class.

    LCD is Touch screen type, so you can change the settings and set the focus point with your fingertips.

    Canon M6 back view and LCD

    For those of you who loves shooting selfies, self or group photos, Canon M6 will make your life easier with its Selfie friendly screen. Another group of users who will take advantage of M6's LCD screen are Vloggers and any video creators who are working in a single-person setup.


    M6 doesn't have a built-in viewfinder but an optional external viewfinder is available. Lack of a viewfinder can be problematic especially under strong light where visibility of LCD screens goes down dramatically. If you need a Mirrorless camera with a built-in viewfinder in a similar price range, consider Fujifilm X-S10 (Compare) or Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark II (Compare).
    Alternatively, check here the list of all Mirrorless cameras with viewfinder..

    Canon M6 Connectivity, Storage and Battery

    Canon M6 features built-in wireless (Wi-Fi) connectivity ( 802.11/b/g/n with Bluetooth and NFC) which lets you transfer your photos directly to compatible devices without any physical connection. With its NFC feature, M6 can communicate with devices such as smartphones which are also equipped with this technology by simply touching each other.Canon M6's Bluetooth connectivity feature comes handy for connecting other devices that supports it. One other feature that we like is the ability to use our smartphone as a remote to control our M6. You can change camera settings, release shutter, view LCD screen and tranfer files using remote control app.

    You can connect M6 to compatible devices via its HDMI port or USB 2.0 (480 Mbit/sec) port.

    Canon M6 Battery

    Canon M6 is powered by LP-E17 battery which provides a battery life of 295 shots according to CIPA standards. Considering that the average battery life of Mirrorless type cameras is 389 shots, Canon M6 has a short battery life for its class so we strongly recommend M6 owners to invest in some extra batteries.
