Canon EOS R6 Mark II Mirrorless Camera (Body Only)

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.

Long-time Canon user - 35mm SLR from 1968, APS-C DSLRs since 2005, R7 since 2022. Just added the R6 for better low-light performance and more reliable autofocus. Keeping the R7 for hiking and as a daytime teleconverter, but the 1/3 reduction in megapixels is well outweighed by the ability to shoot at higher ISOs. The two identical v90 SDXC card slots allow shooting a real-time backup, something that the models with one CF card slots can't do. Get one of those if you're a sports or high-spec video shooter, but the R6 is the sweet spot for the generalist photographer.

Great camera! This thing is a workhorse indeed. Still trying to figure out the astro applications it has but the IBIS is phenomenal and the FPS is insane. I can handhold a 1200mm lens and get decent sharpness from this when combined with lens stabilization. It's amazing. I use this with Sigma lenses and they DID need a firmware update for things to work properly. You may notice a noise when the camera is off and it shakes, this is normal.. no worries. The build is solid and has plenty of accessories like the grip, which is expensive and probably a little over priced, but very useful. UHS II, V90 cards work best but V60 will be fine, it'll just slow your write speed down and will hinder your overall max number of frames when doing bursts. Anything less will not allow you to do what you expect of it.

Crashes when switching from photo to video settings, don’t do this during a wedding ceremony or you’ll be in trouble… yes this did happen to me and luckily removing the battery and reinstalling saved me in time. Battery lasts longer, auto focus is great. Buttons have been switched around and I hate it actually. Wish they had just left the buttons the same at the r5 and r6… big issue for me. Ultimately the crashing is bad news if you are a wedding photographer and videographer like myself. I have my back ups and don’t switch settings in situations like ceremony with this camera anymore. Wish I could exchange for or get a refund..

The image quality is outstanding. The high burst rate is useful only at times. There's a little problem with hummingbirds and ducks with fast wings with the Electronic Shutter. The IBIS is doubtful. I'm having a little trouble with EF lenses and pointing straight down. I'm only getting 3 stops at best. Not quite enough sensor pixels for a lot of cropping. Overall, I'd say I really like it though. I just have to be aware of the limitations.

This camera is phenomenal. It is my first mirrorless and I should have changed sooner. The displays are amazing and very crisp. The body is refurbished but you would never know.

Absolutely loves this purchase! Even Refurbished, it feels like brand new! Canon did a great job refurbishing this body.

Got one and focus bracketing did not work. It would not save the composited photo. Canon could not fix and could not replace it and didn't seem to concerned about it.

It is a nice camera. However after looking at several videos I still can't figure out how to get the focus points set for how I need to use it for shooting sports. I want a fixed focus point that will stay fixed until I move it. The manual hasn't been helpful at all. I need it to be like my 7D for focusing.

I bought this camera after owning the Canon R. I have had it for almost two years and appreciate all of its features. I also had to have an R5 in my arsenal. Guess what, I sold it as I like the R6 MKii better. The batteries last longer, the cards are easier to find if you need them. I put a RG-10 grip adapter on my unit and love it. The camera almost feels like an R3. No complaints on this unit, actually thinking of a second one just to have as a spare.

Camera bought in December 2023 to replace the aging 5D mark III and encouraged by experience with already owned R10. Excellent set of features, a lot of user customization options and compatibility with EF lenses made me feel at home right away. There are some minor quirks that lower the score however. What I like: + image quality, plain and simple; + responsive operation with a lot of customization (you can assign mode of operation for all dials and most of the buttons and change information on display/EVF as you see fit) + absolutely great burst modes, even with mechanical shutter, large buffer and full support for UHS-II cards; + no problem using EF lenses with mount ring, assortment of cheap(er) RF lenses grows as months go by; + new features are quite intuitive to use but the camera still maintains a familiar Canon look and feel; + built-in wireless communication and flawless remote control; What I don't like: + my camera started exhibiting IBIS issues after just 4 months of use which, while never being officially acknowledged, went away with sensor assembly replacement (under warranty); + when using digital shutter there's a very subtle banding (and to be fair, on properly exposed photos will most likely never be noticeable unless you're know what to look for, but nevertheless, and I confirmed it with a few R6m2 owners, it's there); + it was the first ever Canon camera that I experienced crashing (just once though).

I bought this camera to replace my 5D3. I have shot 3 Little League baseball games and I must say I am very impressed! Great, fast focus and adapts well with my EF glass. I'm very happy with the purchase.

I love this camera, but I can only give it 3 stars for some of the issues that it has. First of all, I now have 2 of them for wildlife photography. They replaced my R3, my R5 and my R7. I love the speed (fps), the focusing accuracy, the quality of the sensor and the light weight. What I don't like is the rolling shutter (it's particularly obvious if you have light posts, buildings or fences in your background), the small buffer (I can get about 115 shots before the buffer fills) and the fact that it has SD card slots instead of at least 1 CFX card slot to help clear that buffer faster. I find the quality of the images to be superior. This is a high quality sensor that allows me to shoot at high shutter speed and high ISOs when necessary. If 2 of the above 3 weaknesses were resolved, this camera would get 5 stars from me. I can't wait to see what's in store for the rumored R6 Mark III.

Amazing Camera! Fabulous autofocus, sharp images as a result! Love love this one!
