Re: Do Canon DSLRs have a better autofocus than the M6 or 350d in low light?

I had an M6 and T7i, and ended up selling the M6 due to poor low light focus, and slower focusing all around.

Using the same lens on both back to back, EF-S 55-250 STM, the T7i was able to focus in candle light type lighting, whereas the M6 struggled the moment the sun set. In many cases, the M6 couldn't even find focus and just kept racking back n forth.

With a lens like the EF-M 22mm F2, the M6 focuses better in low light, but it's still quite slow compared to using a modern canon DSLR with any lens.
