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. |
  | sent on June 19, 2024 Pros: Versatility, image quality, autofocus (in relation to its category) very competitive price today, battery life Cons: Viewfinder, quality of materials, ergonomics and responsiveness far from the flagships, rolling shutter sometimes very evident with electronic shutter. The selection of shooting parameters with buttons and dials is too cumbersome. Jpeg beautiful, but far from those of the flagships Opinion: The R6ii is a beautiful camera that today is at a very attractive price and allows you to do practically everything with excellent results, in all areas. If you evaluate it for what it really is, that is a camera for amateurs, more or less advanced, and in relation to its price range, it offers excellent autofocus for all uses and an image quality close to the top. With a sensor reading speed of 14ms the R6ii is the fastest among the non-stacked , however we must not give in to easy fanboy triumphalism ... the R6II is a lower-end camera both to the R5 and obviously to the R3, and its autofocus system, although more recent and equipped with some formal innovations, in substance, however, remains slightly inferior to both that of the R5 and obviously that of the R3. The 14ms are unfortunately not enough to eliminate or make negligible the Rolling shutter with electronic shutter in dynamic situations, especially where the background has trees, poles, buildings etc .. which are unfortunately bent by 30/40 ° ... a pretty obscene see.... Thankfully the camera comes with a very fast mechanical shutter and more than enough buffer to do it all. Certainly to photograph sparrows at a distance of 3 meters with an artificial or artfully constructed background there are no problems, and not even to make birdlife with a uniform background. The autofocus is excellent, especially after locking. while there is some hesitation, sometimes, in the first hook, junctures in which R3 obviously does better, and also R5. The viewfinder is nice and quite bright, however the poor resolution prevents you from understanding if a photo is really sharp or if there is micro blur, moreover the preview of the viewfinder exposure did not convince me, and it is not very sensitive to adjustments ... you have to rely on the camera, which fortunately rarely makes mistakes. The image quality is very good both in terms of dynamic range and ISO tightness. You can shoot in many situations up to 25600 ISO ,without Denoise ... at ISO 51200 there is a significant deterioration. The 24mpx are clean and more than enough to do practically everything, especially in sports and action photography, where the 45-50mpx as far as I'm concerned don't make any sense, except for those who need to print along the facades of skyscrapers (which is quite unlikely for the average user). The JPEGs are nice, but compared to those of the flagships (Sony A1 A9iii, Olympus OM1 etc.) they lose colors and white balance. In conclusion, it can be said that it is an excellent all-rounder camera, with excellent performance in all contexts, especially for amateur use, and as per tradition Canon maintains the classic Lp e6nh battery, with excellent autonomy (bravo Canon !! ). The performance, however, is far from that of the flagships, especially in terms of responsiveness (it is slow to wake up, the shutter button is not very sensitive), ergonomics (plasticky materials, flap that opens with an obscene spring noise) viewfinder (a little dark and too poorly defined) and autofocus in difficult situations (some hesitation in the hooking, rolling shutter sometimes excessive with electronic shutter). In addition, often when you access the main control panel, inadvertently, without wanting to but above all without realizing it, you go to change some fundamental parameters due to the too complicated selection mechanism with the upper and rear dials. The ease of use of the "old" Canon reflex cameras has been lost |
 | sent on April 11, 2024 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. |
 | sent on March 30, 2024 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. |
 | sent on October 23, 2023 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.

 | sent on October 11, 2023 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. |
 | sent on August 24, 2023 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. |
 | sent on June 13, 2023 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! |
 | sent on June 05, 2023 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 |
 | sent on May 19, 2023 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 ..)

 | sent on December 14, 2022 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.

 | sent on December 11, 2022 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. |
