Pros: AF, sensor, ergonomics, build quality, customisation of controls, stabiliser

Cons: At the moment none

Opinion: Premises: I'm not a professional / I come from a 7d mkii / lately I've been focusing on photographing volleyball, thanks to a past as a volleyball player and a son who is a player. I didn't want to leave the world of reflex cameras for the pleasure of seeing the image in the optical viewfinder, for that typical sound of the mirror and for the fear that the 'small' camera would not be comfortable during the long photo sessions in the arenas. The aspect that amazed me the most about the r6 mkii is the AF. I read millions of praises and just as many criticisms. Personally, once the right settings were found, the camera was confirmed to be a real sniper: Lock on the player follow and shoot, result 80-90% of the photos are in focus exactly where you want it. For a personal worm, I almost always take single photos so I can't give an evaluation of the gust. The sensor is excellent but, given certain reviews, I expected to find an 'exaggeratedly' better noise resistance than the 7d. In fact, the photos are perfect up to iso 3200 and definitely good at iso 6400, better than the 7d but not so much (even the 7d brings out excellent photos at 3200/6400 with a quick transition to Camera raw). Obviously it is impossible to generalize, it depends on the light, but this is my mediated opinion. I have read a lot of comments about the ergonomics and quality of the machine. For me, despite having large hands, the camera is held perfectly with all fingers, including the little finger, and in any case I never shoot without having my left hand in support under the camera/lens. As for the construction it seems to me a real tank, nothing to envy to 5d and 7d. It gives me the impression of being extremely well built. I find it hard to understand the many negative comments. At the moment I only use EF lenses with a Canon adapter and the match is perfect. The battery life is slightly shorter than the 7d, but 400-500 photos are taken easily so, with 2 backup batteries, no problem. Another personal worm, shooting with the screen closed, this certainly reduces consumption. For volleyball photographs I almost never go below 1/800, so I don't appreciate the stabilizer but, in photos at home, I was really impressed to be able to take photos with time close to a second without micro-blur. Incredible. I suggest spending the time necessary to study the machine and customize the buttons according to your needs. I close with a note on the viewfinder: Without prejudice to my preference for the optical viewfinder, the possibility of being able to appreciate the final result in the camera before the shot is priceless, especially when shooting in black and white it is much easier to build the image correctly. Rating 9.9.

Pros: AF (alone would be enough to give them 10), electronics, stabilization, viewfinder, battery, compactness

Cons: materials cheap to the touch, "only" 24Mp (but more there is still the R5)

Opinion: I came from Canon EOS R: definitely wrong choice for the type of dynamic photo I'm preferring, but probably something was wrong in terms of AF with that, while here I found everything I was looking for. I am not so professional and technical as to appreciate and be able to judge every parameter of the machine on paper, but for practical purposes the camera for its AF and burst qualities is effective for those sessions of high speed and dynamism, understood as a variation of the figures and / or poses during rapid movement (for contrast, racing cars / motorcycles or cycling are high speed and low dynamism in the sense that on a straight line the pose is that, and changes corner entry but not with sudden variations), allows you to have the mathematical certainty of having not only one result, but several useful results. This changes the prospects of "work": no long and repetitive sessions with frustrating results to be thrown away while waiting for the good one, but with a one-shot one-goal logic you reduce time and effort. This does not mean that other cameras are to be thrown away or that this one does the work by itself, but simply eradicates the old problems of repetitiveness in search of the right shot. For my needs this is worth the expense, all the rest of the judgments on dynamic range or post producibility of the files I leave room to those who know more. Excellent stabilization, for me who was not equipped with it before it seems possible to shoot almost forgetting the golden rules such as 3-contact position (hand, elbows, forehead) and / or safety times. Defects only on the feeling side: plastic materials seem cheap and to the touch they are not pleasant, but if, as on the R where the feeling in hand and in sight was refined, it is the price to pay for lightness and performance that's fine with me, I need to feel confident towards the result rather than feel cool with the beautiful stuff in my hand. For those who wonder about ticking motion from the camera off: it's the sensor stabilization system off when the camera is off: it's chilling to hear, but it's very right. 10 laude, considering today's price.

Pros: Professional Feelings.. , excellent files, fast and fairly reliable autofocus, dual slots, LP and 6 battery. pre-shooting in raw, quality c Raw, remarkable stabilizer, shutter also mechanical with which you can choose to protect the sensor when changing the lens (you have to turn off the camera though.. )

Cons: It doesn't have all the programmable keys. It's a bit plasticky in the joystick controls and in the rear wheel selector. Unfortunately, the rolling shutter for those who make birdlife with the pre-shot is always lurking. as in the R8.. Every now and then (very rarely .. ) it crashes for no particular reason reporting for example error 80.. sometimes then leaving again in a few seconds .. in others you have to turn it off and on again. more rarely you have to remove the battery. But canon assures that everything will be fixed in a future update

Opinion: Having the R8, an exceptional car, but with some limitations. and now being able to try the R6mk2 for a long time I can say that there is everything exceptional that the R8 has, but there are not all the defects.. So it doesn't heat up. there is also a mechanical shutter .. the joystick. the stabilizer and there is a better viewfinder. It has an autofocus that is perhaps even more responsive, although for the first lock-on, there are some hesitations. but the settings and the optics can change the situation. It has a great battery and you don't need a battery grip and in my opinion it has perfect dimensions. It has a double slot but only with the sd.. And given the pre-release in raw, putting a slot for a more performing card would not have been bad. but anyway if you don't use the pre-release you will hardly have to wait to empty the buffer .. It's a bit plasticky. Let me explain: the joystick is not of the quality of the 5DMK3 for example and not even the rear wheel has a great quality, like the SD compartment. In short, something better could have been done. For saving individual files the procedure with one hand is a bit cumbersome, but you get used to it. I find the quality of the file excellent, as I find excellent that of the R8 ... The upper aperture wheel is not very comfortable. I don't understand why they didn't keep a wheel like the one in the days or at least make it more protruding from the body. Even the C RAW file (which weighs half of the RAW) is of excellent quality and doing several tests noticing a difference with the full RAW is really difficult. The menu is the classic Canon with my menu large and programmable. and if you already own a Canon SLR, it won't be difficult to use it to the fullest. The R6mk2 is a good quality FF anyway and with future updates it will probably be improved further

Pros: Burst, Autofocus, 4k no crop (I use it at 25fps), Joystick, general ergonomics, internal IBIS, dual SD

Cons: Non-lockable mode dial,

Opinion: After years of using Eos R (purchased in 2019), and before that years of Canon SLRs with which I have always been comfortable, I decided to buy the R6 II for a number of reasons, including an excellent opportunity through RCE on the new one with an immediate discount at the checkout and a valid evaluation of my Eos R in trade-in. I must say that it has solved quite a few "problems" and limitations that were starting to be tight on the Eos R, such as the cropped 4K, the slow burst, the absence of internal IBIS and the lack of dual SD slots. I can only be very satisfied because from the various tests done, as far as I'm concerned, it has nothing I can complain about. The only criticism I can find is that the camera mode dial does not have the central lock (as there was also on the 6D MK1 to be clear) and therefore it happens to move it involuntarily when you take it out of the bag, a matter of seconds to put the correct mode back on but honestly you could have made an extra effort. The MKIII will be released soon but personally the MKII is amply valid and abundant for what are my current needs in the field of photos and videos. Personally it is a camera that I would recommend to those looking for a valid Canon Mirrorless body.

Pros: General responsiveness, autonomy, quality/price, pre-buffer

Cons: worsening IQ compared to old, pre-buffer, rolling shutter

Opinion: Before it depreciated too much I sold the trusty old R6, and deliberately deciding not to buy a used R3 (it still costs too much to play with it as I do) I turned to the mkII. 1940€ new and the fear passes. Accustomed to the previous version you are really faced with something different, from the menu with a thousand more options to a slight correction of the keys much better thought out. I roll my eyes looking at what happens on the display when I turn the Shooting Modes wheel (Av-Tv etc): it seems to have my 6-year-old son's camera in my hand, you can't look at it, but as with all my cameras, I put it in M on day one and I don't need anything else. I struggle a bit the first few days to find all my settings but I come out alive. Aware of having taken a mini step back on image quality, about half a stop compared to the old, I must admit that the AF is on another level. You can see it with both short and long lenses, there is no story. I gnaw because I can't go out to try it with the 500 (it's old) but I'm quite satisfied. Finally one Saturday morning I manage to go to a shed 20 minutes from home and I realize that the toll paid by the image quality is really compensated by how the AF of my old and decrepit (so to speak) short-to-head camera moves. The tracking is really good and I'm using it on a lens that came out last century. Obviously the focus preset does not work but we knew it, and the most important duty to pay, with my super telephoto it does not get to do 40fps in electronic, because it is "auto-limited" the burst in terms of fps. Is it necessarily a bad thing? I don't feel like the fox who doesn't get to the grapes saying no, because anyway 40fps are really MANY and it is not possible to customize the bursts as on the series 1, so that's okay. Recently I did a more "serious" release with a more decent light, so I could finally test the much envied by the competition pre-shot in raw. Let's start with the fact that they must have smoked something in Canon to conceive the "unique" file (you don't open it with Adobe, you only have 2 choices: - extract the frames from the camera or use DPP) but this is and this we have, it makes us go well. So in front of a nice context of birds every now and then I use the pre-buffer and when I get home I am very curious to look at what came out. I open the raw with DPP and the game is twisted but done well, there are great situations of open wings of the birds practically impossible to catch "the old way". I wouldn't be able to give a percentage of photos in focus, however high, but the real problem lies elsewhere: the Rolling shutter. Having the prebuffer that follows you, the robin's eye that starts from the roost, and finding the 4-5 photos of the deadlift with the wings all striped really makes the zebedees turn. It's the perfect example of "a shot at the hoop and a shot at the barrel": yes, it works but you have to settle for it. The viewfinder is the same as the old, it is ca__re like all the medium-low range viewfinders of the ML, there are no fuss, with the mirror you can see better but it is a matter of habit and with vintage optics in bright sunlight it is difficult. if you want to jump on the viewfinder there are 3 Canon bodies that do much better (R1-R3 and R5II) Autonomy: really double compared to the old (electronically they really did a job, nothing to say) the R6mkII is a great camera with limits imposed by the market segment where it is positioned. Compared to the old, 1 step back on the sensor and 10 steps forward on everything else. We'll see what they do with the mkIII ;)

Pros: Stabilization, high iso, versatility

Cons: Little space between the right camera back and the lens, amateur camera

Opinion: Let's start with the price, just over 2,000 euros two years after its launch define the best price/quality ratio in the category, although with the same amount 8 years ago you bought the 5d mark III, which was a semi-pro machine in all respects. This is to give an idea of what is the only real flaw of this camera, namely the fact that it is a mirrorless for 'starters' and for the family, not for a photographer, if not as a second / third camera. For the rest, it is great from all points of view and has been made much 'easier' than the previous R6, both in the autofocus setting and in the management of all the controls. The 24 Mpx sensor is less clean than the previous 20 Mpx in low light, but returns generally better photos. Additional info in the viewfinder/display is convenient, such as the indication of the focal length you are using if I mount a zoom; toy scenes and fish-eye type preset filters, as well as a kind of intro menu that is activated when the PASM ring is turned (the Nikon D3100 had it a few years ago). The right back of the camera (the grip) is too close to the lens, which scratches with your fingernails every time you hold the camera. Amateur rating: 9.5, pro rating: 7.5.

Pros: Excellent photo and video quality, value for money.

Cons: The camera body isn't up to the price range, the software isn't "great."

Opinion: A year after purchasing the Canon EOS R6 Mark II, I can say that I have a good idea of the camera, considering the fact that I have been lucky enough to test it in different photographic situations. First of all, I would like to make a criticism of the engineering of the body, in particular, I find the latter extremely "small", also in contrast with what is the "mirrorless philosophy", for the simple reason that using the camera for 2/3h consecutive, especially if you have medium/large hands, is extremely deleterious. Which is why I decided almost immediately to combine it with the battery grip, with which the ergonomic feeling undoubtedly improves. Another criticism is the SD slot. When you hold the camera, the camera is located exactly at the palm, notoriously the area that generates the most heat. However, except in a single and isolated circumstance, I have never had any kind of problem on this front. Leaving aside these defects, perhaps related more to personal circumstances, I find the room absolutely of a high level. The photographic quality is absolute. Working mainly on night events, I have more than often used the ISO 12800 - 25600 range frequently, and absolutely satisfactory results in the face of denoise in post production. The autofocus is not always "excellent" in tracking, especially in the presence of sudden changes in brightness and direction of light. I emphasized tracking, as the first lock is instead 99.9% accurate. Reason why, in this camera, it is required to be equipped with level lenses, or at least with an AF motor capable of withstanding a quick shot (in my personal experience, the STM motor is not fast enough), so as to have the shot assured. I must say that the photographic quality has therefore fully met my expectations (and in some ways even exceeded them, especially at ISO 25,600). Absolute surprise, however, was the performance in the video field. I state that I do not have a history of use of cameras in the videographic field, if not absolutely sporadic, but the combination of C-LOG and 4K of the R6II has really opened up a world that I did not think possible. The quality is excellent, the file extremely workable, the colorimetry excellent. It almost makes you want to record certain moments, rather than photograph them. The overall judgment is therefore absolutely good (8/10), even if, there is a bitter taste in the mouth for those slight defects, especially related to the body, which do not give me, to date, the feeling of solidity and "perfection" that I felt holding the old reflex bodies in my hand. Finally, I add two comments related to the user interface, which are absolutely personal and related to my use, but which, I must say, are very annoying: - Flash on the 2nd curtain: This cannot be activated via Camera. The only way to set (and use) the flash on the second curtain is to act on the Speedlite, and set in the camera a shutter speed not exceeding 1/30 (as indicated by the manual). I therefore find some steps back on the menu compared to what is present in reflex software. - Switching between custom shooting modes (C1-C3) is "slow". Although I use these modes often, I would say that the feeling I have during the changes is that something "can go wrong".

Pros: Autofocus, burst, key customization, lightweight. Very good high highlights and shadows recovery. In good light conditions even at high ISO usable photos with little noise.

Cons: As far as I'm concerned, this camera only lacks the possibility of being able to take photos on its own

Opinion: I state that this review of mine is aimed at those like me who shoot for pure passion without any artistic pretense and is devoid of technical judgments given my little experience with other cameras. Switching to R6 mk2 was the big leap. After an Rp in my possession I finally have a tool suitable for my needs. I immediately noticed the possibility of working the raw in a much more satisfying way by recovering dark areas and highlights by far but the most exciting side is to exploit this camera in birdlife. After a few small settings combined with a sigma 150 600 the R6mk2 does not miss a shot, hallucinatory burst and never makes you miss the moment if you are able to seize it. The ability to customize the keys makes the machine versatile in any situation. The only drawback: the native RF optics are expensive, but alas it's part of the game and I like this game! Very high responsiveness when the machine is switched on and always ready for use. Like many other users, I can say that the build quality gives a low-quality feel, but my old RP, made of the same materials, I literally raped it for three years and sold it with no marks from use. The right feeling was triggered with me and I would probably buy it another time.

Pros: Ease of use, af, operating speed

Cons: Lens park, spot AF metering.

Opinion: I come from a Sony A7r III. I find the Canon r6 Mark II file much more pleasant and easy to post produce as the color base is more to my liking. Very fast camera in terms of ignition, af, lag after shooting. Touch at the smartphone level. I miss the spot metering attached to the af, even if with the preview the problem is not serious for me. Accustomed to the lens park for Sony e-mount, at the moment there is very little choice for Canon rf.

Pros: Autofocus, Maneuverability & Grip, Image Quality, Balance, Burst, ISO Sealing, Electronic Viewfinder

Cons: Currently, the incompatibility with direct capture on Lightroom

Opinion: Five months after the purchase and after intensive use on a film set (for set photos) I must say that the satisfaction and enthusiasm are still skyrocketing. I say this as a former defender of full-frame SLRs (especially for the electronic viewfinders that I had tried so far and that punctually made me immediately let go)... Going from the 6D to the R6mkII, then, literally makes you shudder (in a good way, of course) despite the years of faithful and devoted service of the former. And if I think it is a rather "common" and shared feeling in the transition from reflex to mirrorless, I also believe that the satisfactions are not so obvious. What is astonishing about the R6mkII is that it has something distinctly complete and versatile in its hands to the point of being able to place it, in my opinion, on the borderline that separates the consumer market from the pro. And I say this because the feeling is that it has nothing to envy to its older sister R5 (at least until the mkII of the same comes out, of course). Lightning-fast, intelligent autofocus, where the point-and-shoot composition is perfect, just adapt the search for the point of focus to the type of subject. Exceptional tracking. Custom adjustments of all kinds. Perfect ergonomics when combined with a battery pack that extends it in height. Frightening gusts, bordering on believable. The 24 megapixels are a fair balance in terms of weight and file handling, neither too much nor too little, and this is demonstrated by the exceptional ISO sealing. The electronic viewfinder makes you throw away every last doubt as an old admirer of reflex cameras. The only real criticism (but I hope it will be resolved in the next software updates) is the current incompatibility with direct capture on Lightroom, temporarily surrogated by real-time wifi sharing of shots (for which it is advisable to shoot RAW+JPG sending only the latter to the computer). What else to say, in two words, except that I think he is one of the best signings made in this field, to date.

Pros: Image quality

Cons: For now, nothing

Opinion: Canon EOS R6 Mark II: The big leap. After much thought I did, I finally bought Canon EOS R6 Mark II. And I must say that it did not disappoint my expectations! What impressed me the most? The 40fps continuous shooting speed is very impressive, and the continuous autofocus is accurate and reliable even with fast-moving subjects. The image quality of the new 24-megapixel sensor delivers exceptional resolution and dynamic range, even in low-light conditions. I haven't tested the video performance yet (but I don't make videos) and I reserve the right to do so but only out of curiosity. The ergonomics are worth an NI, in the sense that it is comfortable to hold and use even for long periods of time, but the layout of the controls even for those who come from the Canon reflex system like me, is a bit complicated to assimilate. Compatibility with EF lenses thanks to the adapter makes it possible to use the entire range of EF lenses with the R6 Mark II. This is a great advantage for those who already own Canon optics, as it allows you to save money and continue to use your favorite optics. And I must say that both the 24 - 105 and the 100 - 400 (especially the latter), offer considerable performance, bordering on exceptional. A note on the price. It depends on where you buy it. I bought it from a well-known online store from where I bought the 100 - 400. Price considerably lower than the official and branded stores. Clearly it is an imported product but I had no difficulty in registering it on the Canon website, a sign that it is not smuggled.

Pros: Excellent throughout. Sensor Protection System, Programmable Bulb, Focus Bracketing, Foolproof Autofocus, Exposure Range

Cons: Some construction details that can be improved

Opinion: For those who, like me, come from the world of reflex cameras, the transition to mirrorless is such that there is no turning back, the advantages far exceed the most optimistic expectations. Also in this R6 mark II, Canon has implemented a system of protection of the sensor from dust when changing and/or removing a lens, which is done through a curtain that lowers when the camera is turned off, which can be activated or deactivated via menu item. POSITIVE aspects: convenience of programming the B exposure time as much as you want even beyond the classic 30 seconds, Focus Braketing function, which can be set up to 999 shots, the very fast and very precise focusing system, exceptional sensor sharpness and dynamic range despite having only 24Mp. The camera is excellent in every technical aspect, the ergonomics are phenomenal, for those who are already used to Canon menus you will not find any changes whatsoever. Bright display and viewfinder even in the sun. The noise retention at high ISO is fantastic, the stabilization in low light is incredible, allowing handheld shooting in situations that were previously unthinkable except with a tripod. Ultimately an excellent Canon mirroless, suitable and perfect for all occasions, the automatic AF recognition system of objects and animals is something incredible, really accurate at all focal lengths, the fact that you no longer have to worry about what is focused and is sharp or not, allows you to devote your attention to other aspects such as composition etc... Ultimately, this Canon mirroless is worth all, but absolutely all, the almost 3 thousand euros of expense. If you are still part of the world of Canon SLRs, the transition to the universe of mirroless will only bring you advantages and you will not regret it, and even more so if as good Canonists the choice falls on this Canon R6 MarkII which is currently for me the best price/performance compromise, suitable for everyone and for everyone, From the simple photographic hobbyist to the professional. Rating 10/10

Pros: See...

Cons: See...

Opinion: First impression: baffling... Accustomed in analog to the "consistency" of the legendary Canon EOS-1 (with booster) and in digital to the weight of the 7D-II and 6D-II (both with battery grip), when I opened the box I was speechless. The "naked" car looks like a cheap compact, very light and small. Probably, to give it more balance (and autonomy) especially with telephoto lenses, it will be essential to equip it with the BG-R10 (with an absurd cost). As pointed out by other users, the finishes are good but quite far from the sturdiness and elegance of other models. So, the first impression wasn't entirely positive. Then you go to see the manual online and you discover that it is 1,115 pages long (!) ... which means that the functions are innumerable and that to use it correctly you will need a LOT of patience to understand the various settings and make it functional to your use (in my case, only nature photography). The AF folder alone is almost 100 pages long, so after reading it carefully I wanted to check the much-vaunted tracking qualities, which are undoubtedly one of the main features of this model. On a couple of outings I then took a few hundred test photos, in particular of birds in flight. Yes, "a few hundred" because in AF-SERVO with both shutters (although obviously to different extents) it is easy to end up with a truckload of shots in succession of the same subject... The consequence is that once at home it is necessary to make a fierce selection so as not to find the PC clogged after a few weeks. In the field, I was positively impressed by the ability to identify the eye of birds (perched or in flight) even very small and quite far away and the choice to go on the animal's body when the eyes are not visible. In practice, the AF rarely makes mistakes and is also very responsive, especially when you set it for maximum speed. Compared to that of the 7D-II (fast and accurate but also very dated), the AF of the R6-II is much more powerful and flexible, while it beats 10 to zero that of the 6D-II. UPDATE January 23, 2024: After a trip to Cabras to photograph the Osprey, I have to confirm my first impression. The camera is certainly very responsive, with a very fast and precise autofocus. It manages to stay on the subject's eye even if the latter is tens of meters away. However, you have to get used to this feature, because the autofocus marker moves inside the viewfinder (obviously following the movements of the animal) and the photographer's eye follows it in turn. So I found myself with some shots perfectly in focus but with the subject at the edges of the frame... The pairing with the EF 100-400L MKII is very good and the one with the Sigma 60-600 (with EF-RF adapter) also shows no weak sides.

Pros: 24 megapizzas, AUTOFOCUS, Canon Color Science, dynamic range, video shooting, operational reliability

Cons: ISO over 25600 begin to be unusable (joking), sometimes when used very intensively tends to slow down a minimum, used at maximum performance is quite energivora

Opinion: The R6 Mark II is definitely a jack of all trades in terms of operability. You can really use it for any genre, both in videos and photos, bringing home excellent results. The 24-megapixel sensor has improved not a little compared to the first version, not only with 4 million more pixels, but also in dynamic range, noise resistance and above all in readout time. The rolling shutter is greatly reduced, obviously not entirely, but it has very good performance for a non-stacked sensor. The autofocus tracking is something monstrous, practically instantaneous, once it hooks a subject does not let go, so far I have not yet managed to put it seriously in difficulty. The subject recognition is really good, I did not have the opportunity to try the vehicle mode but the animal one recognized me and hooked me without problems dogs, cats and birds even from very high distances. I must say that it is so fast that accustomed to the SLR that I had previously initially had to get used to it, but once you understand the actual speed it is difficult to miss a shot, even with very little light. The files are very beautiful, 24 megapixels are the optimal number not to overload the PC during editing while maintaining a good resolution. Color Science Canon really beautiful, perfect complexions and in any case extremely workable as a file, especially if the shot is made at low ISO. At high ISO the situation is still very good, with optimal files up to 12800ISO and if the scene is well lit usable even at higher values. Video side I did not have the opportunity to try it thoroughly, having used it a few times in this area, but the files it generates I found them very beautiful, and overall I can say that it is an excellent camera, because it manages to bring the image quality of the photos in the video and has some specific functions that in certain conditions are very useful, and I missed it on my previous camera. Also worth mentioning is the stabilized sensor, which can sometimes save the shot, and the electronic viewfinder that apart from some hesitation did not make me regret the optical one, both for performance and for yield. The bursts are also great, precise autofocus tracking, but 40 fps is really too much sometimes. Ergonomics, key layout and menus typical of Canon are maintained, and the room itself is quite customizable. The switch between photos and videos, moved to the left and criticized by many, actually provides the ability to customize the camera even more, taking advantage of the C1, C2 and C3 positions of the mode dial. Objectively speaking, I have not found any negative sides. The camera used at 100% is really energy-intensive, sometimes I can do yes and no 600 shots with a battery, while other times I get on 800/900. The electronic viewfinder, during heavy use or with low battery, can experience lag, which does not occur in Live View.

Pros: In Electronic Shutter mode it is a lightning bolt, excellent dynamic range, well built, reliable and very performing AI, pleasant ergonomics, battery life, tropicalized, from Stand by mode to operational in a single blink of an eye, reliable even with intensive use, so much but so much Pro!

Cons: For the moment none!

Opinion: I have already had the opportunity to use the Canon R6 in the past, then for some reason that I still have to understand I switched to Fuji buying the latest born the X-H2s, the latter a great camera Praised by several photographers on YouTube and being able to compare their respective performance being passionate about nature photography, I immediately found a lower level than the AF performance of Canon R6. That said, getting off a Ferrari and getting on a VW Golf GTi I did not feel at all in the right driver's seat so on the occasion of the release of the new Canon R6 Mark II I resold the Fuji kit and I went back to Canon buying the R6 Mark II. I can only confirm the excellent performance qualities of this machine, already excellent in the previous R6 but with the second version the performance has been further refined. the AF works great as well as the Traking, once hooked the subject does not give it up anymore, even in light conditions that are not really favorable. The sensor has gone from 20 to 24 megapixels that cmq despite being a not significant increase the image quality has improved further, the battery is the same as the R6 but seems to last longer especially if we use the electronic shutter.... About electronic shutter! sometimes on the R6 shooting with the electronic I noticed slight deformations due to rolling shutter with the R6 Mark II I must say that I still have not encountered this problem despite the sensor is not Stacked, most likely Canon with the new sensor mounted on this R6 Mark II has managed to improve this drawback. From my point of view this camera is simply stratospheric, it makes you want to always hold it in your hand and shoot everything around you. Good shot to all!

Pros: operating speed, compactness, AF system

Cons: goes into lockdown if used intensively

Opinion: Compact, plastic, performance similar to R3 that does not replace but does not regret. In practice, using it for prolonged outdoor sporting events decides to get stuck. No need to turn it off, remove the batteries or whatever, it remains stuck ... Then magically it comes back into operation. Defect also found on R3 with the same use. The reliability of the R system in outdoor sports is greatly inferior to the EF system that has never, in years of intense service, ever given problems. Many feautures that make it "easy" to work, focusing systems that make the photographer lazy who relies on electronic trackers to focus on the moving subject, monstrous fps, lots of electronics and artificial intelligence, but I really regret the feeling of power and immortality of 1D

Pros: AF + Tracking + automatic recognition of subjects, excellent ergonomics, excellent instant communication via WI-FI / BT with the possibility of managing the shot and shots directly to the smartphone in real time

Cons: So far I have not found any critical issues except the battery life a little' poor (fortunately having had 7D and 7D MK II I abundant supply of LP_E6NH..), also if I customize the name with which to save the photos does not take me the first character replacing it with the underscore...

Opinion: I bought the Canon R6-mark II earlier this week and immediately fell in love. Yesterday, after 5 days of use, I sold almost all the SLR kit( 7D,7D MK II, 100mm macro series L, 24-105 series l, 50 f1.8, EF-S 10-22 ...) and I also bought the R7 together with the RF 16mm, RF 50 mm and the RF 24-105 ... keeping the old pompone. I would say that I'm finding myself very well with this in these two days of shots: Obviously the R6MK2 I find it much superior with regard to the purity of the file (also seen the lower number of pixels and the FF sensor ..) Vote 9

Pros: Excellent throughout. Sensor protection system against dust at lens change. Programmable bulb. Focus bracketing. Absent low-pass filter

Cons: New proprietary pin flash shoe. Maximum bracketing of 7 shots

Opinion: I received the Canon R6 mark II a few weeks ago, thanks to FotoEma but I can already draw several considerations. Leaving aside the long list of technical characteristics that I am not going to indicate, I will instead focus on my first impressions. For those like me who come from the world of SLRs, the transition to mirroless is such as not to go back, the advantages far exceed the most optimistic expectations. Also in this R6m2, Canon has implemented a system of protection of the sensor from dust when changing and or removing a lens, which is done by means of a curtain that lowers when the camera is turned off, which can be activated or deactivated via menu item. Among the various positive aspects in the list of Pros: I insert the convenience of programming as much as you want the time of the B pose even beyond the classic 30 seconds. There is the function of Focus Braketing or Bracketing of the focus, which can be set up to 999 shots. There is no low-pass filter, so with all the advantages of greater sharpness that derive from its absence. The camera is excellent in every technical aspect, phenomenal ergonomics, well cared for details, for those already accustomed to Canon menus will not find changes whatsoever. Bright display and viewfinder even under the sun. Fantastic noise holding at high ISO, incredible stabilization with low light that allows handheld shooting in situations previously unthinkable except with the tripod. In this regard, Dpreview has published the tests of the Canon R6 Mark II. you can see them in the appropriate tread here: https://www.juzaphoto.com/topic2.php?l=it&t=4409480 With the Ef-Ef-S-->R adapters SLR lenses can be used, (especially useful for those who have accumulated a certain fleet of lenses over time) while obviously the maximum is obtained with dedicated RF lenses, unfortunately limited in the third-party Canon choice policy. Another positive aspect that brings the world of mirroless is the silence of the shot (completely eliminated for events such as photos in the theater through the appropriate function of the silenced shot) With the latest update of Camera Raw 15.1 Adobe Photoshop the Raw files of this Canon R6 MarkII are perfectly recognized. Ultimately an excellent Canon mirroless, suitable and perfect for all occasions, the automatic AF recognition system of objects and animals is something incredible, really accurate at all focal lengths, not having to worry about what is focused and is sharp or not, allows you to devote attention to other aspects such as composition etc ... Ultimately this Canon mirroless is worth all, but absolutely all, the almost 3 thousand euros of expenditure. If you are still part of the world of Canon SLRs, the transition to the universe of mirroless will bring you only advantages and you will not regret it, and even more so if as good Canon-ists the choice falls on this Canon R6 MarkII which is currently for me the best compromise price / performance, suitable for everyone and for everyone, From the simple photographic hobbyist to the professional. Review update. With regard to the new proprietary shoe equipped with a 12-pin mount, it has been clarified that it is fully compatible in all functions (TTL etc ...) with all the old flash and or transmitter both Canon and third-party ... and you do NOT need to purchase the Canon AD-E1 adapter for such flash accessories etc. Only the new Canon Speedlite eL-5 flashes and the Canon s-10 transmitter can only be used on this 12-pin shoe. in particular I point out that the Canon s-10 transmitter has no internal batteries and takes power directly from the mirroless through the connection of the 12 pins Thank you if you have had the patience to read this brief review of mine.

Pros: All

Cons: On/lock/off button switch

Opinion: After trying both the R6 and the R6 mark II I can write a few lines about it. The jump from SLR to these mirrorless cameras is huge, and many know it better than me. With the SLR you learn to photograph, the mirrorless simplifies and facilitates you in many situations. Ergonomics: top, holds in one hand without problems, even with much heavier optics you do not feel too much unbalance. Weight: content. Autofocus: improved compared to the previous one, but small, it was already very precise and fast. Very sharp display, like the viewfinder. The files it churns out are excellent, excellent details, excellent dynamic range, amazing ISO seal, stabilizer helps to shoot with really absurd times (in some cases I managed to shoot at half a second holding it with one hand). To conclude, it is worth the money it costs, in my opinion more intuitive and immediate than the older sister R5 who did not convince me.
