Canon EOS R6 Mark II

The Canon EOS R6 Mark II is a full frame mirrorless camera released in 2022. It uses the RF mount, so your lens choices come from Canon's mirrorless range.

Burst shooting reaches 40 frames per second and video records in 4K, suiting photographers who chase moving subjects and people who want one body for both stills and clips.

At 588 g it is a manageable carry for a full frame body. There is no built-in flash, so lighting beyond ambient means adding a unit to the hot shoe, and the 360-shot battery rating makes a spare worth packing for busy days.

A 24 megapixel full frame CMOS sensor, paired with the Digic X processor, gives images with enough detail for prints and room for moderate crops while keeping files a practical size.

Burst shooting reaches a maximum of 40 frames per second. That peak rate gives you many frames around a brief action moment, while sustained shooting still depends on the chosen setup.

The autofocus system offers 4897 selectable points, giving you many focus positions to choose from. The ISO range runs from 100 to 102400, and the 1/8000s top shutter speed helps keep wide apertures usable in bright light.

In-body stabilisation reduces camera shake, which helps handheld shots at slower shutter speeds, though it will not freeze a moving subject. The 3.69 million-dot electronic viewfinder previews your exposure before you press the shutter.

The camera records 4K video. Frame-rate support includes 60fps, which gives you a smoother-motion option for clips.

Higher frame rates give you smoother motion and the option to slow clips down in editing when a project calls for a gentle effect.

Files record in MPEG-4 or MOV, giving you two container choices for a project. A built-in timelapse mode also offers an in-camera option for interval sequences.

The flip-out touchscreen helps when filming from low or high angles, while live view provides a screen-based preview for video framing.

The 3-inch TFT touchscreen carries 1.62 million dots, giving a detailed display for framing and reviewing shots. Touch input provides direct on-screen control alongside the physical buttons.

The screen also flips out, which helps when framing at waist level, overhead or at other awkward angles without contorting yourself.

Wireless options include wifi and bluetooth for connecting the camera to other devices. Weather sealing adds protection against dust and moisture, though it is not a waterproof guarantee.

There is no built-in flash, but the hot shoe accepts external units, and there is no GPS, so the camera does not record location data automatically.

Two UHS-II-compatible SD slots mean you can fit two cards at once, useful on long days or for video work where files grow quickly.

At up to 40 frames per second, a burst can fill a card quickly, so size your cards to how you actually shoot.

The LP-E6NH battery is rated at 360 shots per charge. A charged spare makes sense for busy shooting days.

USB charging lets you top the battery up between shoots. A charged spare remains useful when a long day leaves little time to stop.
