Overview
The Canon EOS R6 Mark II is a full-frame mirrorless body with a 24.2 megapixel sensor, sold body only, built for photographers who need fast burst shooting and strong autofocus for people, animals, and vehicles. It replaces the original R6 with a faster processor and wider subject detection.
Canon's electronic shutter tops out at 40 fps at 20MP, well beyond what most DSLRs in this class offered, and subject detection now extends past people and animals to cars, motorcycles, horses, trains, and aircraft. One buyer who also owns the newer R6 Mark III describes the Mark II as holding up well against it in everyday shooting.
- 24.2MP full-frame CMOS sensor with DIGIC X processor
- Up to 40 fps electronic shutter at 20MP
- USB-C port rated for 10Gbps transfer
- 3.69 million dot EVF with 120 fps refresh
Who it's for
Fits wedding, event, and wildlife photographers who need fast, reliable autofocus and are ready for mirrorless battery habits, meaning a spare battery in the bag. Less suited to anyone who wants DSLR-length battery life without carrying spares, or who does not need the burst speed and subject tracking.
Pros and cons
- In-body stabilization helps handheld video and stills
- Silent electronic shutter useful for events and weddings
- Wide subject detection across people, animals, and vehicles
- Battery life well short of a DSLR, a few hundred shots per charge
- Body only, lens purchased separately
Performance notes
In-body image stabilization is what several buyers credit for usable handheld video and slower shutter speeds, and the electronic shutter's 40 fps ceiling is there for action work. Video maxes out at 6K oversampled, uncropped 4K at up to 60 fps, or Full HD at up to 180 fps, with Canon rating up to 6 hours of continuous Full HD recording.
