Canon EOS R6 Mark II Mirrorless Camera (Body Only)

I must say that Canon loses on the following points: No Battery Pack LP-E6NH available. Are you kidding me? Also, NO Battery grip is available. There is one listed, but not available. Deal breaking on both fronts. I will stick with my old R7

so far everything on the camera works great. took it to a few events already. the autofocus is a massive step up from my old EOS R.

Very similar to R6 MK I Better resolution, better focusing, the eye catching is better. On indoor shooting, the low light is better.

I’ve been really impressed with the Canon EOS R6 Mark II. It’s incredibly user-friendly, with an intuitive layout that works for both beginners and experienced photographers. The image quality is exceptional—sharp, vibrant, and with impressive dynamic range. That said, the camera does tend to overheat during extended use, I've only really noticed this when shooting 4K 60p video. While this can be a limitation for longer shoots, the downsampling from 6K still delivers fantastic video quality. I’m also excited to try the 6K ProRes RAW recording, but it’s a bit disappointing that I can’t record this directly from the USB-C cable to an SSD drive. Overall, it’s a great camera for most situations, but if you’re planning on shooting for extended periods, the overheating and the recording limitations might be something to consider.

This camera has been my dream camera ever since I saw it. My first time shooting with it was with a gymnastics performance and I used it and oh my goodness, it was taking pictures like a dream. That's when I was really locked in that this was my next camera. Now that I have the camera, it is everything I've ever wanted and more. Every little thing is adjustable to the user and the quality and overall AI focus for the camera is a dream. At first the only reason I wasn't going to get this camera was because it was so expensive and as a college student I have to spend my money sparingly so figuring out if I wanted to actually buy this camera was a huge financial debate with myself. But as I use it more and see the quality with the shots I am getting I just fall in love with it more and more and realize that it really was worth it. This camera will live with me for a few years and is worth every penny.

I had a Canon r5 Mark ii, and I actually traded in it for the Canon r6 Mark ii and it was the best decision I could have made. First off, the 4K video quality is unreal, and the clarity in photos is virtually the same. But the biggest thing is, the r5 Mark ii doesn't have an internal fan, so I got warning on temperature after shooting for an hour... And so you have to buy the attachment fan (500 dollars) and it makes sound.. I have had no problems with overheating with the r6 Mark ii, because it has internal fan :) The quality is unreal, and I just LOVE IT. I mainly use it for Actor Reels and Headshot/Portrait photography and it has been a game changer. And also, the price point is soooo good for it!

Looks new. Seems to function correctly. Would have liked the new portrait bracketing but maybe I can get that later.

No ALL-I in video mode and 10-bit video is only in C-log 3 and not available in standard mode. The older Canon EOS R has ALL-I and the older Canon R5 can record in 10-bit in standard mode. Even the older Sony A7iv has 10-bit 4.2.2 in standard mode. Come on Canon, update the firmware to allow 10-bit in standard mode. We don't all like to grade. Also, doesn't have the ability to save settings to an sd card like the R5 II.

After ordering this refurbished R6 MK II body, I instantly knew how much of an upgrade it was from the first gen R6. The accessibility features are next level. It did take using it a few time to adjust to some changes that were made from the first gen. If you’re on the fence about upgrading or purchasing refurbished do it. You still get a quality product at a great price!

The best camera for my situation, mainly kid's events between concerts, school events, sports, etc. The 24MP is perfect for these types of events since you need to shoot fast to capture the moment. Any higher and the SD cards wouldn't be able to keep up. Plus, why would you need more than 24MP? 24MP is huge can be printed poster size! Need to crop without losing MP? I learned to shoot better to avoid cropping. For those complaining about lock ups. I learned the hard way that the battery matters....a lot. The LP-E6NH that comes with it is a must, don't try to use your older batteries. If you need more batteries (recommended), the NH is becoming scarce, the LP-E6P designed for the R5mii works with a firmware update. No more lockups once I got the right batteries. Why? The newer bodies Canon is coming out with requires more power. The lockups can occur if you push the camera too far/fast and it simply doesn't have enough juice to do the tasks. As for autofocus issues, probably a settings issue. I've not had an issue with it so far and have shot thousands of photos of volleyball and other slower moving events. I had to pay special attention to the autofocus AI settings with subject detection. Back to battery, SD cards, and lock ups. If you don't have the right battery AND a fast enough SD card, you can lock up the R6mii. I had to upgrade to a V90 SD card capable of 300 MB/s to keep up with the burst shots. I tested this with an older battery vs an NH or P, the R6mii will turn your H+ drive mode green when you have the right battery/power to use this feature, meaning if you are low on battery with an NH or P battery, it won't reach full potential. It's the difference in around 7fps vs 40fps or a lock up. The one thing I wish this camera had: CFexpress. The burst mode is borderline too fast for SD cards. Lastly, coming from an 80D, this is a huge improvement. Love this camera and just know that it will amaze every time I pick it up. Hope this helps those shopping!

body looked brand new compared to other "refurbished" places I have seen.

Ordered refurbished but it felt like it was brand new! the camera is amazing and I have already taken so many photos with it for work and have a wedding and maternity shoot scheduled! The quality is amazing. The best camera ever.

Camera was in like new condition and with all the accessories would purchase again

One of the best cameras I have ever owned. Its a very underrated cameras.

THE FOCUS IS AWFUL!!!! I recently upgraded to the Mark II, expecting enhanced performance for my wedding photography. Unfortunately, the autofocus was severely disappointing. As a wedding photographer, capturing fleeting moments is crucial, especially during ceremonies, and the Mark II's inconsistent focus caused me to miss key shots. This experience forced me to switch back to my reliable R6, which has consistently delivered the sharp, accurate focus I need. For anyone relying on precise autofocus in fast-paced wedding settings, I recommend sticking with the classic R6 until the Mark II's issues are resolved.

Love the camera, such a powerful little thing, smaller than my old 77D but so much more capable.

Disappointed in the packaging, I thought it would at least come in a similar box. Its a great deal but I was giving it as a gift, so I would think canon would be able to find the same box the camera came in not another model.

I’ve used this camera for about a year, including one full wedding season, and unfortunately, I can’t recommend it. While the image quality is solid and the autofocus is a noticeable improvement over my Mark IV, the camera’s reliability leaves much to be desired. It crashes constantly, which has been incredibly frustrating. I used the Mark IV for five years without experiencing any similar issues, so I’m particularly disappointed that Canon released a product with such glaring flaws. I’ve given it 2 stars solely for the image quality and autofocus improvements, but the reliability problems make it hard to justify this camera for demanding situations like weddings.

the R6ii is great camera body to use with strobes. I shoot HS teams with a 4-5 light setup. Pairing with my gear was pretty easy, and I was able to tweak the viewfinder so as to not experience blackout. Also tethers easily to Lightroom. Pretty happy with it overall, and colors straight out of camera look great!

My R5 was stolen so I got the R6 mk2 and I wasn’t sure I could live with the 24 megapixels. As it turns out there are several things I like about it more than my R5. I shot some images at 25600 iso and I was amazed at how clean and usable the images were (when exposed correctly). In my estimation the R6MK2 is about a full stop better when it comes to shooting high ISO. I also think the dynamic range is slightly better. It has the same autofocus system as the R3 and it is better than the already great R5. The raw burst mode is pretty cool as it packs kind of like the pre shooting mode on the R5 mk2 (although it is a bit more cumbersome). The 40 frames per second shooting speed is ridiculously good and I don’t hit the buffer that often. I have only been shooting in electronic shutter mode and the rolling shutter is very minimal (I actually haven’t noticed at all) and it’s better than my R5. I don’t shoot much video but I can say that it’s nice to not have a 30 minute maximum time limit of continuous video shooting. There isn’t an over heating issue either. I’ve read and been told that the 6k over sampling is better than the 8k of the R5 but again I’m not much of a video shooter. There are many other smaller features that the R5 doesn’t have as well. Overall the only drawback is the 24 megapixel sensor not being a 45 megapixel sensor. But I have tried some heavy cropping to test it and I was very pleasantly surprised at the detail I got. Plus if you have Gigapixel you can upsize cropped images. So ultimately I honestly like it better than my R5… that is strange to say but it really is an amazing camera especially for the price.
