A Look at Canon’s Upcoming EOS 90D and EOS M6 Mark II Cameras

This should not come as a big surprise to anybody but Canon “accidentally” released information about two of its upcoming cameras – the long-awaited EOS 90D DSLR and the second generation  M6 mirrorless camera.

The video above was posted\leaked by Canon itself and then removed but of course, was reposted by some quick users on canonrumors. From the looks of things Canon is making an incremental update to two of its APS-C models both on the DSLR and the mirrorless fronts although as usual it doesn’t seem to go the extra mile at least in terms of video features (no 4K 60p, or other advanced video features such as 10bit etc.) but there are a new sensor and processor and some improvements to the shooting speed and a few other changes.

Here are some of the video specs for the EOS 90D:

  • 32.5mp APS-C Sensor
  • 45AF points (all cross-type)
  • DIGIC 8
  • 10fps shooting
  • 4K at 30p/25p
  • FullHD at 120p/100p
  • Optical viewfinder & face detection
  • 100% viewfinder coverage
  • 220K dot RGB + IR metering
  • Touchscreen Vari-Angle LCD
  • Dust & water-resistant
  • Battery grip BG-E14

Here are some of the specs published by canonrumors for the Canon EOS M6 Mark II:

  • 32.5mp APS-C Sensor
  • DIGIC 8
  • 14fps
  • RAW burst to 30fps
  • Up to ISO 26500
  • Eye detect AF
  • AF capable down to -5 EV
  • 4K video
  • FullHD at 120fps
  • Removeable OLED viewfinder

It seems that canon is ready to raise the bar on APS-C cameras, at least when it comes to sensor resolution (the industry has been stuck for a long time on 24MP), time will tell how well this new sensor generation fair against existing ones but for users of older Canon DSLRs like the 70D or 80D this update has been a long time coming.
