Canon's EOS M6 II arrives with a new 32.5MP sensor, 4K video and 30fps capabilities

Canon's most recent mirrorless additions have been in the shape of the full-frame EOS R and EOS RP, leading some to wonder what the future of the more junior APS-C-based EOS M line would be.

The new EOS M6 Mark II, which was recently leaked by Canon, appears to provide an answer, arriving with a new high-resolution APS-C sensor, 4K video capabilities and a hotshoe that can be used to mount an external viewfinder.

The sensor in EOS M6 Mark II is the same as the one inside the EOS 90D DSLR that's also been announced alongside it. It holds 32.5MP effective and works across a range of sensitivities right up to a maximum ISO25,600 (or a setting equivalent to ISO51,200).

DIGIC 8 processing power is also on board, which allows the camera to fire bursts of images at a highly respectable 14fps. Anyone who finds that too tardy, however, can boost this to 30fps with the Raw Burst Shooting mode, a feature that first popped up on the PowerShot G5 X Mark II and PowerShot G7 X Mark III earlier in the year. 

That new processor also delivers gains to video recording; in contrast to the original EOS M6, which only captured video to a maximum Full HD resolution, both 4K and Full HD recording is possible here.

The camera has been designed with a 3-inch tilting touchscreen that can face the front, and vloggers will be pleased to learn that this is joined by a mic port.

Eye Detection AF can be set for both stills and videos. Other features include Wi-Fi and Bluetooth together with in-camera raw processing and UHS-II support in the single SDHC/SDXC card slot.

The Canon EOS M6 Mark II will be available from the end of September, with a body-only price of £869.99. A kit with the EF-M 15-45mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM and EVF-DC2 will be priced at £1,119.99. Pricing for the US has been set at $850 for the body only, $1,100 with the EF-M 15-45mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM lens and EVF, and $1,350 for the kit with the EF-M 18-150mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM and EVF.

Pricing for Australia will be at the retailer's discretion although, based on discussions with Canon Australia product representatives, our understanding is that the full M6 Mark II kit will cost approximately AU$1,700. We will, however, update this story as soon as we can confirm the RRP.

The future of Magic Leap's promising AR efforts dim after layoffs

The Magic Leap Two is now further away than ever, unfortunately. Today in a blog post the augmented reality pioneer announced major layoffs and has decided to cut up to half of its workforce, according to some reports. The original Magic Leap One was supposed to be one of the first mainstream augmented reality headsets when it launched in 2018, but a high price point and lack of interest from developers left the headset high and dry after launch. According to the blog post, Magic Leap says it will be focusing its efforts on enterprise solutions (a statement HTC has made recently as well) and shift its focus away from consumer technology… at least for the time being.  The company has been open about creating a second headset that would offer improved specs for some time, but how that work will now have to go forward without half of the team , according to some estimates, remains to be seen. Is the window closing on augmented reality?  Although it’s just one company, Magic...

Airship acquires SMS commerce company ReplyBuy

Airship is announcing that it has acquired mobile commerce startup ReplyBuy .
