Re: eos m6 mkii - no wireless flash control

Googling, now, the M5, M50, M50ii and M6ii do not have this capability. Looks like none of the M bodies do this. They can all do wireless flash with an appropriate "master" unit on the hotshoe, though, which is why this can make it hard to tell from specs.

Also, the R bodies don't have built-in flashes, so they can't do it, either. Looks like Canon thinks mirrorless shooters are all going to buy radio transmitters instead.

I'm looking into these cameras and just wanted to make sure I understand that none of them can use the pop up flash to trigger a speedlite?  I have the 430ii that I was planning on using but sounds like I would need a master on the body or a trigger setup for that?  Thanks!
