MELVILLE, N.Y., Aug. 28, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- It is often

of Canon APS-C sensor cameras and share many similar

time. Both cameras are designed to fit the needs and preferences of
a variety of photographers taking into account their skill level

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 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.
