MELVILLE, NY, August 28, 2019 – It is often said that in life, having two
options is generally considered a good thing. Today, Canon U.S.A., Inc., a
leader in digital imaging solutions, introduced two advanced amateur ILC
cameras, the EOS 90D and EOS M6 Mark II. These two models usher in the next
generation of Canon APS-C sensor cameras and share many similar characteristics,
while also being uniquely different at the same time. Both cameras are designed
to fit the needs and preferences of a variety of photographers taking into
account their skill level and subject matter.
“As camera technology continues to evolve, we
find ourselves in a constant state of innovating and challenging the status quo
to meet the various desires of our end-users,” said Kazuto Ogawa, president and
chief operating officer, Canon U.S.A., Inc. “With the introduction of these cameras,
Canon is reaffirming its continued commitment to a broad range of photographers
by offering them the digital imaging tools required to meet their needs.”
The EOS 90D and EOS
M6 Mark II include many core features that are identical and hold true to Canon’s
imaging excellence. These features include:
- 32.5 Megapixel CMOS(APS-C) Sensor
- DIGIC 8 Image Processor
- 4K UHD 30p and 1080p FHD up to 120p video recording with no crop
- Dual Pixel CMOS AF in Live View with 5,481
manually selectablei
AF positions
- Electronic shutter with a minimum of up to
1/16000th
- Built-in Wi-Fiii and Bluetooth Technologyiii
The Performance
DSLR Way: The EOS 90D
The EOS 90D DSLR camera is ideal for the
advanced-amateur photographer who values the look-and-feel of the DSLR body and
benefits such as an optical viewfinder, 3.0-inch vari-angle touch screen LCD, addition
of the multi-controller and a shutter button feel of professional EOS cameras. Now capable of
shooting up to 10 frames-per-second (fps), a drastic increase from the 7.0 fps
with the EOS 80D, users can capture all of the action on the sidelines of a
football game or wildlife while on safari. Assisting in a photographers’
ability to capture the action is the 45-point all-cross type AF system, 100
percent viewfinder coverage and now supports up to 27 points in f/8 metering. In
addition, the new AE sensor boasts an impressive 220,000 pixels and utilizes
EOS iTR AF (face priority) detection. Together, these two features allow for
the detection and tracking of faces in various environments and shooting
situations while using the viewfinder.
The
Compact-and-Lightweight Way: The EOS M6 Mark II
Bringing the controls and functionality of a
Canon EOS DSLR into a compact mirrorless camera, the EOS M6 Mark II is destined
to wow advanced-amateur photographers. With its enhanced usability, the EOS M6
Mark II is capable of shooting up to 14fps with AF and AE tracking as well as
capturing a remarkable 30fps when using RAW Burst Mode with pre-shooting
capabilities. The camera also features touch-and-drag AF when using the
optional EVF-DC2 electronic viewfinderiv. A popular and notable
benefit of Canon mirrorless cameras allows photographers to select AF positions
with the touch of a finger. The EOS M6 Mark II also includes Canon’s Dual Pixel
AF with Eye AF Servo to help ensure images are in sharp focus and a 3.0-inch,
touch-panel LCD screen with tilt-option to help ensure a user’s portrait or
selfie game is and stays on point.
