Canon EOS R6 Mark II Mirrorless Camera

The EOS R6 Mark II addresses a number of issues with the original model to become one of the most powerful all-round cameras in its peer group. Most notably it now shoots much faster than the Sony A7 IV, sports broader and more confident subject recognition in my tests, while its ability to film...

The Canon R6 Mark II is great for taking photos of faster subjects, including sports and wildlife. It has a quick max burst rate and a deep buffer, though it's slow to empty if you manage to fill it up.

Canon has updated its popular full-frame mirrorless model with a 24MP sensor and improved AI subject detection. Andy Westlake takes a first look

I have been shooting with this camera for a little over 6 months now and it cirtainly has exceeded all my expectations. I've mainly used it for wildlife photography and it is fantastic.

I have been using an EOS T7 with good results for the past 2 years. I am anticipating with the EOS R6 Mark II to be able to achieve GREAT results with the newest auto focus speed and eye capture for my wildlife photos as well as the better quality R series lenses available.

I had been waiting for this camera to be released. I wanted to upgrade from the Canon EOS that I have even though I've had a good experience with my old one. I've only had this camera a short time, but it has so many great features that I am looking forward to trying them all.

Excellent mirrorless body with great resolution, facial and eye tracking. Very easy to switch from still photography to video. Highly recommend. Ron W.

An excellent camera, eye focus seems to be matured vs the R5/R6. Shooting sports is much easier too, as tracking can be set to work even with spot focus. The OVF sim mode (HDR) is great imo, enabling you to forget its not an SLR and give you a better idea of what's in the scene, e.g.

I use this camera as my new primary body with the original R6 as my back up for sports. It's fast, and quality images are astounding. Love it.

Canon's internal and external ergonomics, it's just easy and intuitive, lowest frustration levels you can possibly get using this camera in stressful situation! Dynamic range is even better than Canon R5, try pulling exposure from -6 EV, clean colors, no pinkish tint from sensor noise.

Great

I simply love this camera. Probably one of the best cameras in the market.
