Good and bad in everyone, if you read my comments to Kenneth you will see I call him on it when I think he is off base, like a lot of public persona's what you see isn't always what you get, and he has been nothing but kind and respectful to me. I don't subscribe to group think and I don't ask anyone else to, If you don't like his channel feel free not to watch, I don't like everything Kenneth does but that does not mean he has no redeeming traits. He will respond to every email you send him and availability means a lot. I hope that helps you understand ; ).

I love my 6DM2. It has what I need to do for architectural and landscape pictures. I don’t do videos so 4K was not a priority. It’s really good in low light spaces like churches. I don’t care of not having two SD slots. I have many of them with high capacity that I change every day so I keep organized my pictures. Also I used the WiFi capabilities of the camera to backup the images to my iCloud. I bought this camera before watching any video. I went to a respectable store and they gave me really good advice of this camera and others. So later watching all these bad reviews of the camera made me wonder if I got an special 6DM2 because I’ve been using it for more than 10 months and I don’t see the negatives of this camera for people who is jumping to be semi pro. Also I noticed that people giving the negative reviews are professionals and they can’t compare a $5k pro camera to a semi pro camera and it is hard for a pro photographer to go back to the roots. Remember people, it’s the shooter and not the machine who makes great images. Thank you for a sincere opinion.

[@amirulashraf7882]

hi erika. did you back up your photos simultaneously while shooting it? i shoot wedding photography with this camera, and wondering if i can transfer it to cloud storage while shooting throughout the event.

[@erikavelazquez1835]

Amirul Ashraf no because is not recommended. If you don’t have constant network, it can ruin or you can lose the image. Sometimes you walk from one space to another and depending of the materials surrounding the space it can freeze the connection and therefore you lose the images. By materials I mean, some old houses have plaster in the walls and it blocks the network signal.

[@notme1998]

For photography I think the d750 would be better

[@karikaru]

@@notme1998 I was considering both for a while - the d750 and 6d mkii both have their pros and cons. The d750's biggest perks are that it has dual card slots, better dynamic range, and a headphone jack. The cons being the price is a bit higher still and I personally already have some lenses in EF mount (I have a couple old 35mm in nikon manual focus too however). I decided I'd rather give that up for the canon color rendition, an articulating touch screen, and some of the other features in the 6d that make it really appealing for what I want which is an all-purpose weather-sealed DSLR for outdoor landscapes, wildlife, street, and general "travel" photography. Either way - I don't think you can go wrong as both are outstanding systems in their own right. The great thing with both vs going mirrorless - is there are a ton of DSLR mount lenses you can buy used.

Late comment here but that’s the one thing that’s pissing me off watching reviewers. Most of them are vloggers and by this point, we already know Canon doesn’t do video with their DSLR line, they have a whole Cinema EOS line dedicated for that. I and probably 90% of people watching these reviews just want to know what they are like for stills.

[@camillebrenes]

Mattias, there are so few doing objective reviews like you do. You keep a level head far away from all the marketing frenzy mentality we all see out there in the internet.

Well said Mattias. I would also add that on the grey market this camera can be bought together with the excellent 24-105mm lens for LESS than 1,700 euros! That's a fantastic deal. It may not have all the latest features, a zillion AF points or 4K video (which very few can watch anyway) but for those of us who know how to expose an image properly it's a great camera.

My impression is that it is a price thing. I just got mine for $950 with a printer and it seemed like a hard decision not to make, though I'm still a bit nervous about going all in on full frame lens costs.

[@fiftycalguru]

Rich Freeman if you’re nervous about the upgrade don’t watch KZbin reviews. Identify what your needs are and research if the products you want cover that. I learned the hard way if you buy cheap you spend more. The cheap stuff will either not work or worse will break. Then you are faced with the decision to buy quality($$$) gear or risk buying cheap again. Basically you get what you pay for.

[@NeilSmallerFilms]

I love the fact you mention at the end how some people in the comments will insist that you must be paid by a particular company.

Recently bought one of these after reading alot of negative reviews I still went and purchased it and it is a fantastic camera. It does everything I want and more. Including a built in timelapse which gives you a 4k option. So for all the haters of the canon 6d mark ii I suggest you go out and buy a camera twice the cost of this and get very little quality difference is that really worth the extra cost? Any a great review and a great camera 👍

[@dhruvemital]

You are probably the only person I've ever known who doesnt like a flippy screen...then again, you justify it with your shooting style. Love the video!

[@AANasseh]

I agree with you. I first thought I misheard Mattias when he said I dislike! I was like, what?!!! lol!

[@JB_Hobbies]

I don’t like it either. I shoot stills, and I find that a tilt screen is way more convenient than a flip out.

[@dhruvemital]

JB in terms of stills yeah I guess so. I personally prefer the flippy screen. I guess it’s a matter of personal preference. For me, having a flippy screen allows me to turn my screen to the inside so I can avoid scratches during going around. Also it allows me to use the touchscreen to focus at weird angles, which I have had to use on occasion.

[@JB_Hobbies]

Dhruve Mital I use a screen protector, so scratches haven’t been an issue for me. But yea, for me, like you said, there are a few occasional times where a flip out screen would have been better than a tilt screen, but they are very much outweighed by every other time that a tilt screen was the better option.

[@gearreallydoesntmatter]

Just personal preference, a tilt is better for me when shooting video and stills. If I needed the selfie screen it would be a different story.

[@EliasJRosario]

First person I've noticed to mention that a fully articulating screen slows down the creative process and makes the camera bigger. Thank You!

[@rosamarmallari7434]

Glad to see a KZbinr that doesn’t hate on this camera, I purchased mine a few days ago since I wanted to move from a crop sensor camera to a full sensor body, so far I have been pleased with the pictures, I ain’t a professional photographer nor planning on becoming one, I don’t need 4K since my computer can’t handle processing 4K video, and I am not planning in buying a new one; hence, I don’t need all the things that this camera is supposed to be missing, for now I am happy of having a full frame camera at a lower price when compared to a camera specifically targeted to professional photographers.

Why would an evf distract you unless it sucks like the Lumix gx85. It's really easy to shoot in manual and not have to worry about your fancy functions just because they're there and you spent the money doesn't mean you have to constitute a reason to use them all the time

I love the 6d2 as well. A nice upgrade over my 6d which i don't pull out often anymore. The biggest upgrade for me was the speed of the camera in terms of autofocus, the ui, and the shot to shot speed. I don't see why dual card slots is a big deal bc i have never lost pics and i have taken thousands.

[@andgainingspeed]

Mattias Burling - It is great for those who own Nikon glass. The adapter reportedly works great. If Nikon's mission was to protect their user base who are looking for FF mirrorless, then it is a win. The Z bodies will sort themselves out over time, the new native glass will determine whether they win converts as the line fills out. By then the prices will have dropped on the first Z bodies at which point I expect a video on your channel about the Z6 will drop into my notifications box. 😀

I have used the 80d for many professional portraits and events and my clients have loved the results. It's a fantastic camera for both a first camera and well beyond.

It seems these days there is so much competition out there and too many choices, but I have to agree that for professional use, the reliability and pro service that we've come to expect from Canon is second to none...still... The ergonomics and image quality, coupled with lens possibilities, including adapted lenses, is perfect.I wish Canon would buckle down though and put 2 card slots in a pro level camera at this price point. In my opinion, for the money, my Pentax K3 is still the best stills camera for someone who is mainly a still photographer needing a bulk of useful features, pro level build quality, and sharp, small and affordable prime auto focus lenses. In saying that, my best pictures as a pro sports and fitness shooter were made with the original 5D. Still great!

Not every feature is needed in every camera; if that were true then the only differences in cameras would be varied colored camera bodies (ppl would still argue of course, but it would be about whether Fuji's latest camera is a true yellow color or has too much red in it to be a true primary color; obviously affecting image quality).

[@gearreallydoesntmatter]

Charity Thanks!

[@Rajupkd]

No you are not wrong at any point. Whatever you explained about this 6D mark ii is true. I was trying to migrate to mirrorless by selling my 6D mark ii. Tried and tested Mirrorless but I couldn't find any good reason to sell my copy. 45 point crisscross Focus points are enough. This camera has everything. !!

[@taygorokudo120]

I still can`t get rid of my 5D classic.. something about its images that makes you keep looking at it forever

[@robstyles2675]

If it works it works

[@unbroken1010]

Like? It wasn't a CCD sensor

[@jaydoncheng4790]

Nice review Mattias. Always enjoyed watching your videos, one of my favourite Camera reviewers on KZbin. The way you present and structure makes the video very pleasant, relaxing to watch =) Keep it going!

[@williamgoss4691]

Cool video of a much mocked camera. Thanks

[@marcossantana1164]

I must start by saying how great this review is. Short, but it covered just what a potential buyer needs to know. About the camera, when it first came out and the dynamic range issue took over the internet, I was let down and decided not to buy it. But months have past, and I've noticed that Dynamic range is almost never an issue for me. I'm still shooting with the same camera that I started photography with back in 2011, Canon Rebel T3i. And i almost NEVER over or underexpose my shots more than 1 stop. Also, I only use the center focus point, and i'm not sure that I will feel comfortable using any other. So, the deal breakers others see in this camera, are what I have been dealing with for years and learned to over come them. Besides, getting the shot properly exposed in camera should always be the main and first objective. I will be upgrading to this camera this Holiday season. Thanks for the video Mattias! Always love your content.

[@gearreallydoesntmatter]

Marcos Santana t3i is a legend. It wasn't my first DSLR but it was the one that sparked the passion.

[@marcossantana1164]

same with me , glad to know :-)

[@aantonic]

@@gearreallydoesntmatter i still have t3i alongside my newly acquired used 5d mark II and i must say t3i has special place for me even when i see 5d produces photos with better detail and overall better quality. T3i was great camera before, its great camera now

[@NoName-vs4gb]

I have 80d 1 year now. Still in love

[@thenotsookayguy]

The 6D Mark II is practically just a Full-Frame 80D with some updated features... Genuis

[@gearreallydoesntmatter]

stavros katsas Yeah the 80D is a fine camera. Great move by Canon to make an equivalent full frame option.

[@chrislj2890]

I wish more people had taken the time to actually work with the 6D MkII instead of jumping on the hysteria band wagon over specs. I really enjoy mine, and I also focus and shoot as you do with no problem. Also like you, I'm not a big fan of flip screens and prefer the tilt type, but since my 80D also has one I just learned to live with it. Thanks for a logical and unbiased review; well done sir.

[@gearreallydoesntmatter]

CHRIS LJ always nice to get a comment from a photographer instead of a spec collector ;)

[@eskilvreb861]

I watch this video about 3-4 times a month. Just love i. I also own a 6d mark 2 and what a great camera

[@Sr_iRL]

Is nobody going to talk about the dog @5:02 ? He’s just sitting there like “yeah, bro keep snapping them photos” 😂😂

[@milesrite973]

I use it for landscape photography and love it !

[@kiwipics4003]

Cheers, Mattias. You've answered my key question. 6DII file vs 5D Classic file. That's very good news as it'll join my 6D mkI instead of a 5D SR. My mirrorless friends think I'm senile. Personally, I'd rather buy one extra piece of kit for $1,600NZD than 4 lenses and 2 bodies for $10,000!. 👍

[@reinhardgrossmann8054]

I‘m using this wonderful camera as long as about 5 years, and I‘m still extremely happy with it. A very particular PLUS for me are excellent pics taken at very high ISO values. Well, I‘m only an amateur, photographing for my own pleasure only, and the 6DMkII is more than good enough for me.

[@ragnevi]

I bought this camera one month ago, must say I really likes it and I also love the Live View double pixel focus mode.

[@edgarasphotography]

I'm looking forward to buy this camera and this was the best and most genuine review I've seen on KZbin. You made some great points. Thanks!

[@wrm2th]

I have the 80d and like it. I really like the 6dii and want to up grade to it. Thanks for the review

[@lpkustom]

I love my 6D mkii. Have done since I bought it. Fantastic camera.

[@NWP4440]

Thank you for a good positive review of this camera. I’ve wanted to like this camera, as it really has everything I am looking for. Yet there is so much negative noise regarding it, it’s hard to get over that. Yet your DR example wowed me, and that’s been my big sticking point. Yet this looks awesome. Thanks again!

[@mLswanson]

I'm thinking about bumping up to the 6D Mark II from the T7i... I want the built-in GPS, bigger battery, and full-frame sensor, but don't want to spend .a ton of money...

[@ferencbodor]

Ahw, thank you! This camera got so much hate on KZbin, because everyone thinks it’s a camera only for video :D thanks for your great and positive review! ;)

[@gearreallydoesntmatter]

Ferenc Bodor I'm glad you liked it!

[@stuartcarden1371]

In my view the 6D mk ii is the best camera in terms of colour since the 5D classic. I know lots of people love the colours of the 5D mark II but I'd pick the 6Dii if I had the choice. I'm in the process of saving for one of my own. Hopefully by this time next year!

[@njrivetelite]

I know this is a year old.. but I just bought one last week.. canon had a sale $880

[@lanep4322]

Fan of the 6D Mk II also. I hope Canon releases a 6D Mk III that carries forward on this line, a great entry point for people looking to get into full frame digital.

[@nickjohnson2938]

same!

[@FotosyMas.]

Great video. I have and love the original 6D alongside a 5D IV and the little M50. I will probably get a 6D II sometime this year.

[@cameraboy1983]

Do you shoot video? Thinking of getting the 6D as my b-cam to my markIV

[@stefffoto]

I agree. I´ve had both the 6D and the 6D markII, and they both perform absolutely perfect. I now have an eos R6 and R8, and have just ordered the 6D mark II again, because I still have EF-lenses, and miss the DSLR-way to work. I never use video, and if I would, it would come from one of the mirrorless-bodies. I guess, this is the final call for DSLR´s, and that is also why I ordered one again. There will still be lenses with EF-mount for some years to come, and they will become increasing cheaper ;)

[@martinschnabel1961]

Got a barely used one for 900€. A body that has it all (except 4K - idk). It’s just a great lifestyle camera for me and my family that surprises me every time. I use a Fuji x100v next to it.

[@Pipp08]

Hi, i like fuji film simulation colors wonder if I could make canon photos look the same probably having some lightroom presets, do you have any suggestions?

[@martinschnabel1961]

@@Pipp08 Hi Pipp0, you might want to check Jamie Windsor here on KZbin. He just released a Fujifilm inspired preset pack. I havent tested it myself but maybe it is what you are looking for.

[@cesarebonazza]

I know been using 2 body 6d Mark II I run 5000 to 8000 frame each month guarantee 4000 frame per camera a month not a pip of a problem great camera and I’m a pro photographer for 38 years the only thing I really miss is the headphone jack why Canon? The rest is no complaints at all.

[@alexanderpopov4691]

This camera is such a great tool for photography and a pure joy to use it. If 6d mark II is taking bad images, then just replace the "add-on" behind the viewfinder😅

[@gearreallydoesntmatter]

So true :)

[@jneiberger]

I'm thinking of upgrading to one of these from a 6D. I find the focusing on the 6D to be a little frustrating and slow when using other AF points other than the center one. Having more cross-type AF points would make my life a little easier, especially in lower light situations. I'm still not sure, but I'm very tempted.

[@sl2608]

I had the original 6D for several years. Was frustrated by the same things you were. When I got the 80D I sold the 6D and never regretted it. Then comes the 6D II and I'm in love again. Vastly improved AF and image quality over the 6D. Get it, you'll love it. So glad I did.

[@richardlee5157]

Great review. This has been my dream camera for street/portrait photography and after your review I definitely want it more.

[@roglar]

The 6D mark II is really great with the 85 mm 1.8. Another great lens is the 40mm 2.8 which makes for a compact camera setup.

[@gearreallydoesntmatter]

Roger Yeah I might get the 40mm.

[@sl2608]

Both are beautiful lenses. I use the 40mm more than the 85. What an amazing, sharp, fast, beautiful lens it is. Such a pleasure to use. And a bargain price!

[@VoiceDrew]

I like your reviews, Mattias. Keeping my out for a used 6Dii.

[@kallumbamber5598]

2:40 fully articulated screens are so good or am I stupid?

[@gearreallydoesntmatter]

I don't like them at all but that doesn't make you stupid. It's just personal taste.
