>>3820459>>3820408The thing about the M6II is that it has a lot of really high end features, for example, like a really intelligent AF tracking algorithm with (human) eye detect and the ability to shoot 14 fps bursts with autofocus (which exceeds the 7DII). It has a really high resolution sensor capable of retaining a lot of detail at 6400 ISO. It has a silent shutter, focus stacking capability, three customizable command dials, competent video capability...
Instead of giving the camera the ability to shoot continuous bursts with the electronic shutter (which the latest R-series can do at 20 fps), however, they gimped it so you have to be in "raw burst mode" to shoot continuous with the electronic shutter, with a crop, without meaningful autofocus. "Raw burst mode" seems gimmicky to me. Although the camera COULD probably shoot continuous bursts normally, uncropped, with autofocus, with the silent shutter in the 10-15 fps range with minimal rolling shutter, Canon chose to reserve that capability for the R-series, which requires people to spend 3x more.
Likewise, with the lenses, Canon theoretically could put metal mounts on all their lenses, but instead they choose to only give a few EF-M lenses a metal mount. None of the lenses have metal barrels because the philosophy of EOS M is cheapness and lightness. They could theoretically design a few more compact, relatively fast primes, but they choose instead to just stick with the mostly zooms and just produce the lenses that have already been designed.
It's odd, too, because the M5, having that "5" designation, ALMOST crossed the line into pro-thusiast territory, and if there were an M5 Mark II, it would almost have to be a pro-level camera....if not for the plastic lenses.
Anyway, I went shooting today, but shooting from my car with warm air pouring out the window and mixing with 5*F air outside fucked the image sharpness. Also, the wildlife didn't cooperate, either. This was the best out of many abysmal ones.
