Hey B&H viewers today we're taking a first look at Canon's brand-new EOS 90 D
and the brand new EOS M6 Mark II now both of these cameras represent the top
tier of canons aps-c line and digital imaging 1 SLR 1 mirrorless right now the
90D high order bid here is speed you can shoot up to 10 frames per second in
continuous burst mode the autofocus tracking on this camera is incredible
whether you're shooting with all points active whether you're in the zone mode
we put it through our paces today and got some incredible results out in the
field it is nice shooting with an SLR it is really nice
forget about that you know in the mirrorless space you pick up a camera
you look at the rear screen or you try to look through the electronic
viewfinder and nothing is there so it's so cool with an SLR power no power you
put up your look through you're looking through the lens which is so so very
nice but the new metering system that's built into the 90D it's freaking
awesome I'm really I'm just shooting everything here today just right on the
meter and it's bang on accurate look at these shots it's bang on accurate when
you're in live view or when you're using an electronic viewfinder one nice
feature is you get the little boxes and I think you've seen this but you don't
really see things like that when you use an optical viewfinder but underneath the
hood here on the on the 90D there is face detection autofocus so even if
you're using the optical viewfinder if you have all of the auto focus points
selected the camera is running an algorithm that's detecting faces and we
tested this out in a short little portrait session with Matt and it
grabbed his face every time I was I was incredibly impressed with that yet I
love looking through an optical viewfinder you see everything that the
lens sees this particular viewfinder on the 90D has a 100% coverage
so top bottom left right you see everything that's in the frame now one
of the awesome features of mirrorless has been face detecting technology in
autofocus you actually get face detection if you have all of your
autofocus points active on the 90D so gonna try that in a portrait situation
here with Matt ready Matt Matt appears to be ready no Matt I never really
noticed how heroic a person might look holding in a holding a parasol there
pretty good you're my hero today man it's hot all right see how these look
yep yep yeah yep yep good face detection works through an optical viewfinder
folks it looks great so we're gonna do like maybe try some sprinting let's try
some sprinting I'm not an athlete you look like you could be an athlete
ooh I'm not an athlete so you're gonna like you're gonna like flat-out you're
gonna like sprint all right yeah all right you good yeah all right here we go
all right we're going just called call the settings out okay 8,000th of a
second 5.6 servo mode high-speed continuous
10 frames a second the things we do to test a camera but you know this is a big deal
you know it wasn't that long ago to that to get this kind of performance you'd
have to be in the EOS1 series this is pretty awesome all right we're gonna see
what happens Bobby's gonna run flat out ready Bobby
all right Bobby's ready here we go all right let's do it
there he is there is a feeling when did you good
that's flat out running man it's awesome that's the point that's it now they're
all they're all in focus so I mean this is a this is a good deal like if you're
kind of person that shoots action a lot of frames you need that stuff in focus
you want a high keeper rate I think there's there's some really nice sauce
on the 90D man this is pretty cool both the 90D and the EOS M6 Mark II
have video modes you have UHD 4K which uses the whole sensor it's not doing one
of those bad crop things and got that at 30P you can also do slow-motion you can
shoot 120 frames per second in Full HD that's really really awesome only thing
missing here is like 24 frame you know hopefully in a firmware update down the
line maybe that's something Canon could add in you know they had it on the 80D
they had it on the 70D so I'd really love to see 24 frame on the 90D this
setups really great for a vlogger especially on the 90D got the flip out
LCD screen which is great so you can compose and see yourself if you're
recording yourself I've got the shotgun microphone right up on
top in the hot shoe now the the EOS M6 Mark II it has a flip up screen it
doesn't go to the side flips right up on top of the camera so that kind of makes
it impossible for you to compose yourself and have a shotgun microphone
and a hot shoe so that's something to consider the onboard microphone and that
cameras pretty good though you know if you're just doing some basic vlogging
you want to keep keep things as small as possible that might be a good option
now the EOS M6 Mark II is a concentration of all these features that
we find in the 90D in this smaller mirrorless package it is noticeably
thinner if you had like a pancake lens on this it's actually something that you
could put into a cargo pocket but it's really really light really really easy
to carry with you and because it gets rid of the mirror box it actually has
some performance advantages Iike continuous burst mode like 10 frames per second on
the 90D it is 14 frames per second on the EOS M6 Mark II
which is amazing the LCD screen tilts up which is wonderful for selfie
mode autofocus it uses dual pixel autofocus it's the same kind of
autofocus that you get using live mode in the 90D it's snappy it's fast works
wonderful for stills work wonderful in video has face detection autofocus which
is great for tracking but my favorite thing about using the EOS M6 Mark II
today was the engagement that I had with the camera body you know mirrorless
cameras because they're smaller often times that controls are left out or
they're they're small and they're finicky feeling that's not the case here
there was an exposure compensation dial in the original M6 that's gone that's
now a customizable control dial but you can set the functions for right on top
of the camera so you have dials right around the shutter you have a control
command dial on the back and then check this out there's a switch that allows
you to go from autofocus to manual focus and this button supports back button
Auto focusing so these are all features that are control features that you'd
find on a very very high-end DSLR and they all fit logically on this layout
with the M6 Mark II all right look at how compact this is man I mean it is easy to
carry with you now you're going to be composing with the rear LCD screen you
know that articulates which is really great but if you wanted a dedicated
finder you know if you like to work that way there is a clip in available if you
buy one of the kits in North America with kit lens this is in the box if
you're buying it body by itself this is an additional accessory so that's just
something to keep in mind there's just so much crossover so many shared
features and specs between the two cameras both have a 32 plus megapixel
imaging sensor both are incredibly fast in terms of responsiveness that's canons
digic 8 processor working over time you even get better high ISO performance
there I think really what it boils down to is do you want the 100% coverage
optical viewfinder or the 100% readout that's coming off of the imaging sensor
in the mirrorless option either way I think you're gonna be very very happy if
you're looking for a premium aps-c Canon interchangeable lens system camera for
