Size and WeightBody DesignElectronic ViewfinderRear LCD screenPriceConclusionThe M5 being the more professional model is somewhat larger and heavier than the M6 at 427g (versus the 390g) and 1156 x 892 x 606mm (versus 1120 x 680 x 445 mm) This doesn’t mean that it isn’t light and compact – it simply isn’t as portable as the new model Looking at the EOS M5 and M6 sidebyside it is clear that they belong to the same family of cameras The only exception is that the M5 has a hump for its electronic viewfinder (more on this later) On top we can also notice a slight rearrangement of the dials To make room for the popup flash the mode dial has been moved to the righthand side of the M6’s top plate Likewise the rear command dial has been slotted beneath the exposure compensation dial While the On/Off switch is found behind the mode dial on the M5 it sits beside the exposure compensation dial on the M6 A very small yet surprising difference is that the M6 has one extra customisable button in comparison to the M5 (12 versus 13) Finally the M5 is only available in black whereas the M6 comes in black or silver The most significant difference as implied in the design section is the lack of a builtin viewfinder on the M6 There is however the possibility to attach an optional electronic viewfinder such as the EVFDC1 or EVFDC2 to the hot shoe The specifications of the latter are identical to the builtin viewfinder of the M5 which is a 039type with an OLED screen 2360K dots a 120fps refresh rate 100% field coverage and an eye point of approximately 22mm Although both cameras have a ClearView II touchscreen LCD the specifications are slightly different The M5 has a larger 32inch type with 1620K dots while the M6 has a standard 3inch type with 1040K dots That of the M5 is tiltable 85 degrees up and 180 degrees down whereas the M6’s is tiltable 180 degrees up and 45 degrees down The M6 is classified as a midrange model and has been priced to reflect this At around $779 US for the body it is $200 less than the M5 Both are available in bundles with the following kit lenses 1545mm (M5 $1099 / M6 $899) and 18150mm (M5 $1479 / M6 $1279) As we’ve seen there aren’t many significant differences between the EOS M5 and M6 and only one is likely to have a significant impact on your decision the electronic viewfinder If you find it more convenient to have one built into the camera than solely relying on the LCD screen or an optional accessory such as the EVFDC2 the EOS M5 is certainly the better choice Otherwise the new M6 can do everything its big brother can and will leave you with $200 to save or spend on other gear Check price of the Canon EOS M5 on Amazon | Amazon UK | B&H Photo | eBay Check price of the EOS M6 on Amazon | Amazon UK | B&H Photo | eBay.
