Canon EOS RP vs Canon 6D Mark II | Which to Buy?

[@reginaldallenii5681]

the RP makes the 6D look like an old man but fails to dominate because of the 6D’s wisdom

[@Systenize]

Well said 👏

[@AlexPower]

6D Mark ll , it’s a decent camera for the price especially when you already have EF lenses. Perfect camera for KZbinrs.

[@grumpywiseguy5992]

Thanks for the review. However I would point out that the ergonomics are much different between the two cameras. I own a 6D and have played around with the RP at the local Best Buy. The 6D is far superior in my opinion, the button and dials placement is almost perfect, the feel of the camera in my hands, it is probably Canon's best effort there. The RP feels awkward and cramped. Change for the sake of change. Too bad.

[@MrFeedrate]

I just got an RP with 50mm F1.2. (I already have a 6Dii and a M50.) I'm delighted with the RP. For me the advantages over the 6D are the light weight, the EVF, the headphone jack, and the RF mount. I shoot video at 25p so the lack of 24p is not a big issue. When Canon brings out a 5D equivalent EOS R I'll get that and use the RP for a second camera. The 4K is good for interviews where you can punch in for closeups without using 2 cameras. BTW, that extension thingy would be good for mounting on a tripod with the 50mm F1.2. A battery grip would be a good option. Everyone has different likes and needs, but if you can't take good photos and videos with an RP, YOU have the problem, not the camera. But if you want a different or better camera, that's fine. Also a big thank you to all the haters out there, I got my RP with 50mm F1.2, 35mm F1.8, adaptor, spare battery and filters for the equivalent of US$3,400.00 + tax.

[@zroter]

The RP may also be an option for a user of an older FF EF camera (I have been using the original 5D and 6D), that does not care about sports or video (only stills), already has good EF glass to use, and wants to move to a lighter mirrorless camera, suitable for travel photography.

[@Neopulse00]

I own the 6D II and truly enjoy using it. I think if anything, the EOS-R would be an "upgrade" to the 6D II. But the price point of the RP for someone wanting a 2nd body or getting into photography, it's hard to beat.

[@Noealz]

I think 6D is better but the RP would be a better investment for the future, since that is the direction Canon seems to be going

I paid 750€ for a hardly used second hand. I got it on the original box with all the extra equipment and an extra battery. So far I'm blown by this camera capabilities. Certainly exeeded my expectations.

[@jerrylandrum1977]

I think too often we tend to ignore the more important part is, if the camera is an upgrade to our current model we own. I own right now a Canon t7i, and to me, the Canon 6d Mark II is a huge upgrade to my gear and to my abilities to create better photos. I find too often that review videos lean away from that message. I lean to the 6d simply for the fact I prefer not to need to buy an adapter for the glass I already own. I truly think overall these cameras are very similar if you were to remove that one is mirrorless.

[@sl2608]

The weight. Big difference. And the size. Also, RP has a newer processor, Digic 8. That should mean better IQ than the 6d II.

[@guillandanthony711]

I have the 5D MK IV and I wanted to replace my 7D MK II. So I decided to buy the RP. Sure, it is a slow camera, which is a bit disappointing. But be careful. It is still a canon full frame camera, with really good image quality. i do not regret it at all. I have tested all my EF lenses on it, and i can only say that this camera is underrated.

[@andrewjones6763]

I upgraded from my canon t6 to the 6DMii last August and am quite please with it. When the rp was first announced it was really tempting to switch with the adapter and everything included but the more research I did the better my current camera looked. The major drawbacks for me were no top mount lcd, not a lot of external buttons for adjustments on the fly, the lower FPS, and the much smaller battery was what really killed it for me. The only thing the RP really has over the 6DMii is the auto focus and the evf.

[@robertmuzikar1760]

I have a great stable of EF lenses so the change does not make sense for me. Also, the 6DMark2 takes excellent photos for me. I like the bigger body.

[@Axonteer]

Hey this is me from the future to past me - this video made me buy the 6D for 1200$ on a sale and even with it having a front focussing that got solved by re-adjusting the AF Sensor via warranty im really happy with it - i dont have to do an adapter fiddle for EVERY lense i own and the fact that i only own EF lenses makes the 6D the right choice eventhough its a bit on the "large" side - Although i can still use my old 77D OR buy.. say a fuji xt30 for "travel" if its too much to carry. - Oh and past me, there is going to be a R5 and R6 soon end of this year so look out for thems! Oh and the RP uses the same battery as the 77D and there is a reason why i have 4 and was constantly recharging them especially in cold weather while the 6D ones.. yea i have 3 but on a shoot i rarely use more than one, and thats starting at like 70% charge... those 5D/6D / R batteries are real heavy duty things - for once totally worth the absurd canon OG battery price :D

I had the 6Dmii for about 2 months and finally switched to the RP. Basically as a weight consideration. The 6D with the kit zoom lens was so heavy that it made me not want to use it. The RP is so light and powerful that I keep it with me and use it all the time. Unfortunately, the flip side is that the battery life on the RP is appalling. The 6D I could shoot for days without thinking of battery life. The RP, I have to decide which hours I want to use it before rushing back to an outlet to charge it. If you get the RP: get another battery.

Image sharpness is something I’ve only been aware of when watching camera review videos 😄 I’ve not ever scrutinised the photos or edited them on a big screen (old computer).

[@DavidChoy]

Great comparison. Both are excellent cameras and I like the emphasis you put on glass and photography fundamentals over bodies. Both cameras have strengths and weaknesses. I use the 6d ii alongside the 5d iv (events, kids, crowds, people). The flip out screen is something the 5d just doesn't have, so the 6d ii is a great partner for this. I also love that both the 6d ii and 5d iv use the same battery. I often pair the 6d ii with the 16-35 iii and use it with dual pixel AF while the 5d holds the a longer lens (e.g. 70-200 2.8, 85 1.4 is, or even the 50 1.2 depending on the situation). I seldom shoot any video at all. I might upgrade the 6d ii to the R (or some next version of it), but not the RP. The RP gets minus two (-2) checks, in my situations, for being slow on paper. I should probably try it out, but I think this video confirms the slowness. Also, it's worth noting that while the autofocus points on the 6d ii are clumped when using the SLR system, you can use the dual pixel AF system on the 6d ii and get better (and slower) af coverage (albeit on a flip out screen). Along with that new 50, i imagine once those new 85s come out, it's going to be hard not having an RF mount. One more thing, I imagine that I *might* enjoy quieter shooting in some situations from the mirrorless. Is it noticeably quieter? Thanks again.

[@emanuelcabrera4483]

I'll need the shower test to decide.

[@stupedrandomname]

Thanks, that was a great breakdown. It is a tough call between these two for me. I don't shoot action and shoot mostly handheld with heavy lenses so dropping a pound would be nice. The odd thing is I have come to prefer the optical viewfinder over the Screens for the most part. Somehow I just feel more connected to my subject. I loved the digital viewfinders at first but going back and forth I keep reaching for my old Canons over Olympus/Fuji bodies.

Upgraded from the t2i i've been shooting with since 2011 to the RP a couple weeks ago and its been a massive upgrade for me :) Size factor was what pulled me to the RP over the 6D MKII and in anticipation of moving over to RF glass in the far future.

[@dougsmit1]

I don't spend my life reviewing cameras and only buy a new one when necessary. My main concern in going mirrorless was the old feeling that DSLR's have less delay between shutter press and image but no one seems to test or comment on this. Is it now a needless concern? I bought an RP to augment my 'antique' 5D mkII. The improved autofocus is a major point. The grip feels so secure I don't feel the need for a strap unless carrying more than one body around my neck. The simulation of exposure in the viewfinder adds a level of reassurance. The optional level is great for those who too often make tipsy photos. I doubt I will be buying the new lenses (they may be better than the old EF I have but mine work well enough for my standards. I wish there were a requirement for KZbin posters to update or at least flag their videos so the venue is not filled with bad information.. Now that the 24P complaint was addressed in firmware, half the RP reviews that harp on one feature are invalid. I don't understand why I should care. If I wanted a video camera I'd buy a video camera. If Canon hears us on the battery life issue and makes a rechargeable grip with odd shaped battery or a better way to charge on the fly, all will be right with my world maybe for the next ten years while they turn my RP into an antique. I hear the R mkII will offer IBS and dual cards (one CF). 'Antique' status may not take ten years.

I know that you will get great results with an 80D, but the RP is not bad, considering the price and the most important thing: the mount options. Yout get this cheap ff body, now you get glass for it. If you upgrade your camera in the future you already have glass for it. Ok, you could also buy the ff lenses for your 80D, but in my opinion get the fullframe mirrorless for that price. Makes more sense than a DSLR now.

I can see the benefit of using the sensor to set the focus point, means no lens calibration errors etc, so presumably the mirrorless body will return a greater number of sharp in focus images compared to a DSLR? I really like the idea of sliding my thumb around on the rear screen to set the focal point whilst using the EVF, that's really cool and way faster than focus and recompose, which is what I mostly do now (I use a canon OES 6D mki) and I'm undecided between these two bodies to add to my bag.

I remain amused by the comparison between not only these two cameras, but between mirrorless and DSLR in general. Mirrorless is typically thought of as advantageous thanks to smaller, lighter bodies. Two ways they achieve that are shorter focal length and lack of a mirror and pentaprism. So then we have R series glass - some of the biggest and heaviest, not to mention most expensive lenses on the market today. But wait - you can put on an adapter to use your EF mount glass. Well, that just compensates for the focal length difference... hey wait a minute... yep, there goes your advantages. Oh, and if you like your body and lenses to have balance on the tripod and in the hand, well sorry but the EOS R will not have the same balance characteristics as an equivalent DSLR. So then maybe its just about features? Does the EOS R offer enough features to drive people to switch to this system? I don't personally think so, but maybe some folks do. Lastly, the apparent price advantage. Well, that evaporates as soon as you load on that nice 24 - 105 R lens it typically comes with and frankly if you're not investing in RF glass, why bother making the switch? As far as i can tell the few extra "check marks" that went to the EOS R do not really tell the story. For value you would be hard pressed to do better than the 6D MKII. It's a brilliant camera with some limitations, but with the exception of the focus points the EOS R does not overcome those limitations well enough to matter.

I don’t understand what he’s saying about the video on the 6D MKii, I shoot very good footage on my 6D MKii and it does great in low light situations. Only con to the 6D MKii is that it doesn’t do 4K footage.

[@dylan-nguyen]

H2CreativeConcepts 6dmk2 after 800 iso in video it’s pretty grainy. and it’s generally less sharp. Yes it’s decent video but not great relatively speaking. ie you can get the EOS M50 for $400 and get the same video and it does 4K.

[@matthewguevara5482]

I don’t think I’ve ever heard a camera be described as “chodier” Hahaha!

[@edmallett3061]

One thing about these cameras that you didn't address at all, is something that concerns me greatly. I have a "Dust Pump" otherwise known as Cannon's 100-400L f4.5-5.6 Series I Lens and I am deeply concerned about sensor cleaning, I presently shoot with a Canon 70 D and I am forever cleaning the sensor. does having no mirror in front of the sensor on the Canon EOS RP mean the sensor will be even more prone to dust spots, if not even more so because of the larger sensor?

[@godsfilmmaker8863]

Hey Jared! I'm a video only shooter (I occasionally shoot photos either because I have to or for family functions), and I'm currently on the M50. I am really hoping they release a firmware update for the RP giving it 24P because it's a no brainer upgrade from the M50, however maybe that is exactly why they don't have it on there, lol. For me, I wouldn't buy either for video without waiting to see if the RP gets 24P in an update. If they do, RP for the easy win. If they don't, 6D or look elsewhere. And I have skin in the game, because if they do update the RP that becomes a very likely purchase for me. My vote is let the check-mark hang for about a year to see, lol. Great comparision, thanks Jared! - Winter!

[@Masterpaintingnowlearn2draw]

You must have for the rp then.

[@justinkellyphotography4396]

Maybe a strange question but when talking about video in cameras these days we refer to 1080p and 60fps. I understand the "p" in 1080p has a specific meaning but why do we say "p" in 60p when it's 60fps? Doesn't the "p" just stand for per? I'm no video guru so maybe I'm way off on this but 60fps means 60 Frames Per Second, correct? Why do people say 60p?????

[@momchilyordanov8190]

Google Interlaced vs. Progressive Scan and you will understand what "p" stands for. It's not about the frames per seconds.

[@justinkellyphotography4396]

Interesting....

[@alessandrocernuzzi]

Always spot on, Jared. You're one of the few left that actually work on photography technique and shows how to improve your art, instead of keeping bitching about what brand is good or bad and pixel peeping like a maniac. Since I started to follow your channel my photography has improve dramatically, keep it up, guys!

[@SteelRiderCarl]

Perfect comparison video! If I were to buy today with what I have right now, I'd be all about the 6D Mark II... I have a significant amount of Canon glass and would continue to use it. Also, I'm strictly photo with only the rare spur of the moment video, which I would just use my point n shoot for.

[@jaybhushanr7362]

Hi, Thank you for the wonderful video ❤️ I'm looking to buy my first camera my budget ranges from 1- 1.5 lakh, Iam not a professional photographer, just a hobby Photographer I'm a person more on to photography mostly potraits, Pre wedding & sometimes wildlife, Video I do might shoot for particular occasion. After checking on video I found, Canon 80d /90d, Canon EOS RP/ canon 6d mark ii /sony a 7 iii Sony a6400 considering that i want to buy a 50mm prime lens f 1.8 makes me go blank with respect to mirrorless as the price of lens is way to expensive Iam confused on which to buy as my 1st camera to get my skills up, where should i be investing money.

[@nammalilleee3207]

An adapter will allow u to use dslr lenses. Sony will looy you when you need lens. Buy eos rp or 6d mark ii. Whichever is cheaper in india.

[@Satkacity]

Got a 6d m2 few months ago. It does the job. Also, 6D mII has been heavily discounted by canon, I got mine for 1200 with a grip, backpack and bunch of accessories. So, it was hard to find out anything else in this price range.

[@MsHugeman69]

Where did you get your camera?

[@Satkacity]

@@MsHugeman69 B&H Photo Black Friday deal.

[@thommysides4616]

What'a deal you got!!!

[@migneault62]

With the firmware update and price drop, I'm thinking about getting the RP... AND it's commign from a guy who got a shiny X-T3 only a few months back ^^'

[@hassansaeed3053]

I just ordered one Go for it!

[@sergioserramusic]

The 6D2 has BT and can transfer RAW files. It's very handy and the app is ok

[@kennethjonesphotography]

I enjoyed this video as well as virtually all of your other videos. They're very informative and insightful. Currently, my dominant work is shooting still real estate photos using a Canon t6i. The quality isn't "great," but it's certainly good. However, I'm getting more involved in shooting professional profile video interviews and want to stay in the Canon family, but I don't have a large budget. I'm caught between the RP and the R, keeping in mind I'm still going to have to buy new glass since my current lenses are EF-S glass. Any thoughts, comments, or suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

[@thommysides4616]

6d mark ii or the Canon 90d

[@kennethjonesphotography]

@@thommysides4616 Thanks.

[@anagabirivera]

I'm trying to do wedding photography full time and I'm a bout to buy a camera in between there two. Still can't decide but thank you for the video! Might go for the Canon Rp after watching your other videos on it

[@jamescompo]

go for a 5d Mark III. 2 card slots is an absolute must for weddings and other professional work

[@szymonantosz6033]

Compering thikness on the picture from the top, there are canon rp vs canon r not 6d 2.

[@KevinNordstrom]

For photography only, I'd go with the rp You can get the adapter and build on your efs , as well as save for where Canon is heading next with full frame mirrorless lenses without changing the body.

[@KategariYami]

I was trying to make this decision myself but honestly not having 4K video on the Mk II was a deal-breaker for me.

[@stavyjoe]

It’s crazy how the 6dmkll holds up

[@eslammasoud7493]

you are the reason for my choice to get canon 6D mark II man xD

Where is the lick test?

[@azizoid]

@@Jasmin23332 May I ask you not to rush before buying FF? you need FF only if you are planning to make a photo of the models for Magazines. for all other cases there are bunch of CROP's doing the job even better

[@Jasmin23332]

Thankyou, I'll have a look at some more crop sensor specs. I'm wanting some more low light capability so thinking at moving to full frame

[@azizoid]

@@Jasmin23332 for lowlight is 90% thr questuon of a lence its f parameter

[@planetdee3587]

At one point in time a 5D2 was used for a lot of professional settings including sports (with 3.9fps). How crazy is that.

[@prose4ever]

My thoughts on the Full Frame market makes me question what's going to happen to the crop sensor cameras in the following years? I mean even in the history of film photography, 35mm was the common format for consumers. Now that Full Frames are raiding the markets, will that mean the crop sensor cameras will eventually be a yesteryear product?

[@NilesHughes]

A lot of wildlife photographers like the crop sensor cameras for the added crop factor. It's like having a built in teleconverter so I think a market will always be there

[@levanabrzeni]

Is 6D markii much better than 80D? I mean, for studio photos and low light photography

[@enaje3rd]

Full frame vs APS-C, it's obvious.

[@levanabrzeni]

@@enaje3rd yea, but what exactly is the difference between images of those two?

[@stillonlouis]

Please, which one would you recommend in 2024 as a beginner?

[@MMayen]

I will go with the 6d mk ii for video and the availability of lenses

[@KevinNordstrom]

Just get the adapter

[@JeremyDean-qk8qd]

I need help deciding between the 6d ii and the RP in terms of only using it for photography. I don't shoot any video, and I probably never will. The main reason my choice is between these two, is the price point. Which at this point means I really can't afford to shell out the money needed to buy RF lenses. I'm upgrading finally from my old but trusty Canon 7d. All of my lenses are are ef as well. Also just to add to this, I'm a pretty experienced photographer, I have won several awards and have done pretty well for being a self taught photographer. But I don't use my camera to make a living, therefore while I do take photography seriously, it's not my profession so to speak. Any way, thanks for any advice I can get deciding between these two.

[@thommysides4616]

I got my wife the 6d Mark ii and she loves it! I read what you wrote and think that would be indeed your wise choice to make. God bless....

[@SuPKrew]

I'll buy a used 5D Mk3 thanks :D

[@FilosofiaPositivaOficial]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge!!! What camera and lens are you using to make this video? I love how the background is out of focus.
