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 👏

[@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.

[@ShebeerPrince]

I'm planning to upgrade from my SL2/200D to a full frame. Currently I've 50 1.8 and 85 1.8 lens. I use camera 95% for photography (close up, headshot portraits, with bokeh).... I'm confused with 5dmiv, 6dmii and rp 😞

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

The 6D II is my favorite camera of all time. The RP is nifty, but the 6D is tried and true.

[@jv8studios]

Yes ! It’s true the 6d is probably better

[@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.

[@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.

[@garethharris4986]

amateur here, bought the rp with the 35mm lens as an update to my 5dii, i really like it, alone the autofocus upgrade is worth it to me, had to center focus recompose all the time and missed many shots on my kid and dog. low light is great too and the lightweight really has me bringing the cam along again after not bringing the 5d with me lately. Don't care what the haters say, i won't film much with it. didn't film with the 5d either. got a bunch of lenses that work fine with it and i'm very happy with it

[@KaReEdCa]

I've not held/used an RP...but I tried using the Sony a7ii and a7iii and couldn't figure them out. I'm sure that I'll get should I spend more time with them ...but I picked up the EOS R and it was very intuitive (despite the mode dial)...in 5 min I was navigating it's functionality. As for the haters...when the 6Dmkii came out everyone said it sucked...I used it last year for a week, and was blown away by the quality of the images. I presume that the RP is victim of theirs as well.

[@gatsch69]

@Silviu Vulcan no regrets so far, i really like the cam, plus the 35mm is awesome too. Been thinking of getting a 35mm for a while and couldn't be happier with it. The cam so far is great, sure battery life is a lot shorter than the 5dii but i bought the cam with a second battery and haven't had a day where i needed 2 batteries, one thing i also kinda notice is that the metering is sometimes a little inconsistent, but that might be something on my end. I have been looking into sonys as well but to be honest i was too lazy to do a whole system change, i have about 5 canon lenses which i really like and wanted to keep, they all work great with the adapter, also i'm probably too nostalgic to ever sell the 5dii so it will probably sit in my house waiting for a while cuz i didn't feel like using it after the purchase. I'd say go ahead and buy it, it's a great cam, fullframe is great too and you can keep both bodies in case you ever needed something for sports.as for the lenses, that's actually something where i would safe up to get a nice one, i have a 24-70 2.8, the first gen and it's great, buy good glass bodies come and go, cheers

[@gatsch69]

@@KaReEdCa yeah it is intuitive, once you used canon before you're good to go with it. i really was looking into the 6dii when it came out but the focus system held me off the most, focus is great on the rp.

[@andyng9314]

Same here was using 60D but i tried a friend's 5DMkii kinda wish mine is a full frame on a 35mm it's so wide compared to a crop frame camera. my only worry is EF adapter during auto focusing will it focus properly are you using one for EOS RP? i heard bad reviews about 6d mkii mainly it's video which i don't really care since i don't shoot videos with it. only thing that worries me now is the continuous shot. how slow is slow. need to put both camera photo and shoot side by side to tell the differences. idk if can survive with 60d probably can survive with EOS RP. another thing is the mount to third party lenses will it work?

[@Genv6]

I’ve also got a 5dmii. Trying to decide what to upgrade to.

[@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

[@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.

[@brandophoto-f3t]

Exactly... so many “photographers” think an expensive body Is going to make them better. Learn fundamentals and spend money on glass, take your camera out of auto.

[@arnonart]

I just got the 6D mk2 and i Love it. I heard so much negative views about it but than I held my head and realized that it surpasses my old trusty 5D mk2 in any parameter including the video. 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.

[@DESIGNS-vo1mt]

Can we PLEASE stop judging these cameras on video specs? If they wanted it be used primarily for video, they would market it as such.

[@kevinbuja4373]

D.E. SIGNS I agree with you. To me, it’s analogous to HiFi audio. From my 2nd system to my reference system, I had a separate power amp and preamp. In the reference system I even had mono blocks (2 separate amps) and a phono step up. The reason is that with an integrated amp a small box is being called up to do the work of separate equipment. No integrated amp will ever perform remotely close the separates. If you want all the best of video and all the best in still, get dedicated equipment.

[@kevinbuja4373]

One other thing I have shot everything from 35mm to 11x14, and I have to say that my favorite camera were my 4x5’s. Just a lens, bellows, focusing screen, light meter. The focus (no pun intended) was in creativity.

The real irony for me with all this new mirrorless stuff is that I started with a Fuji mirrorless some years ago before they became cool. I didn't lke it and that time developed SLR envy haha.

How did you get on with it? I have a 6D and whilst the mk2 got slated because it was supposedly inferior, I think that was largely nonsense about noise and saturation that is really easy to fix, and probably not noticeable in the majority of applications. The trick is to stop pixel peeping, it doesn't make the images any better!

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.

[@hoeurd]

What a coincidence Jared! Exactly one year after your video, I am looking to replace my current Canon setup from many years ago. I looked at the 80D, 90D, 77D and the EOS 6D Mark II as well. I don't really mind the continuous shooting speed but care more about the WIFI functionality, UHS-II support, 143 AF points, touch and drag feature which looked so useful in real life scenarios, official support for EF lenses using a mount, DIGIC-8 for an updated image processing, much lighter, less bulky and yes, I would probably buy another spare battery considering the small size (1040mAh or about 250 shots). Thanks for this easy comparison video!

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.

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.

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.

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.

[@skyaqua776]

For sure you would and shutter count is much better on 6D mk2

[@w3tua]

@@El_Lonli I have a 60D along with a 6DMk2 and just bought an RP a few days ago. Buying extra batteries was a must so I went ahead and did so along with ordering a battery grip. Being able to load two batteries should help with the shooting time.

I know there are better cameras than the 6dMII but in my opinion is the best all around camera for the price.

[@seaunatchison]

Now that I'm going full frame and have been debating going between these 2 cameras. This is the best video for helping me decide

[@rwvandermey]

Very helpful discussion on these two cameras, both which I’m considering as an amateur, beginner, nature photographer. Maybe would have liked to see the final total “check mark” scores, but I believe it’s pretty safe to say the RP came out ahead. Good work!

[@mikebray48]

You forgot the sniff test and wind tunnel test Jared LOL

[@alchemisthere]

Oh shit. This comparison is not legit.

[@alchemisthere]

Preceptor Da that‘s true. But the wind tunnel test is very important for any photographer out there. And I just can‘t think of which is better since one is smaller but the bigger one has more aerodynamic edges.

[@alchemisthere]

Preceptor Da i don‘t know honestly. It‘s hard for me to give advice. I got a D750 after a D5300 since that‘s all I need. 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.

[@alchemisthere]

@Preceptor Da No problem mate. yeah I experience the same thing. It's always hard to start when there is no friend with the same hobby/passion. And no KZbin videos will help, cause doing something with your friends is always cooler.

[@alchemisthere]

​@Preceptor Da Sure. In the end it all depends in how important is this hobby for you, how much do you wanna use your camera and do you wanna keep doing it in the future. These questions should help you in how much you maybe want to spend. After that you I think Jared's camera comparison help you decide if you need certain cameras cause of their feature or if you can go with a cheaper/different model.

[@PizzaPizza_99]

Both are better then my Canon Rebel T5 so either one will be an upgrade

[@PunjabiGymBeats]

its about mirrorless and DSLR , if you completely ready for EVF then go for RP otherwise 6D ii is awesome camera .

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.

Great Review. I may have missed it but i did not hear if the RP was mirrorless?

The RP is mirrorless

You forgot to consider 3rd party glass... not all 3rd party glass will work on the Eos RP adapter... if you're in a budget that is important

[@georgepistikoudis]

Right now, in Greece both cameras are sold at almost the same price. Can you tell wich of both cameras has the better low light performance?

[@munyecho]

I have 6D2 and I'm very happy with it

[@finite934]

I’m a real beginner, with a hand-me-down 500d and a 50mm 1.8 and a newly bought refurbished 24-105mm 4L original. I’m starting to outgrow the 500d and am tired of the drawbacks of crop sensors, and I’ve set my sights on a 6d mark II. For me, the body size; the button layout, and optical viewfinder win just hands down over mirrorless. The weight is problematic, but the *only* downside considering that second hand prices of 6d bodies with the 4L lens is 3.5x cheaper than an R body with the equivalent RF 4L lens.

[@steviesteve750]

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.

[@kingpixmedia]

"Spray and pray your images away" as a dad.... I do this! as a portrait photographer... I do this! Jared just gave us the most accurate photography quote of all time, also my new unofficial business slogan!

[@johnstatue]

Dear Jarred, on all Canon DSLR cameras I had, they all had a pop-up flash. I bought a Canon R7 in May 2023. Unfortunately, it did not have a pop-up flash. I was in a somewhat dark situation and would have liked to have the pop-up flash for fill-in flash. Now I don't read anywhere in the reviews why the Canon R cameras no longer have a pop-up flash. I miss this one for a fill-in flash on the spot. You don't always have your external flash with you. Is there a reason why Canon no longer makes these pop-up flashes on the R cameras. Why is so little explanation given about this? please your commend.

[@kathleenaubart8398]

I have an RP and am upgrading. My main problem with the RP is the battery life and the fact that it can look like you have plenty of life left and then it says change the battery pack and shuts off in the middle of a shoot. The R lets you know exactly how much battery is left and the batteries in the R last longer.

[@risbill1]

Thanks for the info. I'll probably sell my original 6D and buy the EOS R while keeping the 6DII as a backup. Been debating picking up the EOS R instead of a 70-200 2.8 III.

[@AdamSondel]

You can select any focus point from the screen and it's not only 45 points (in 6D mk2)

[@NickCheng93]

I don't care about video so the RP was a no brainer for me, really easy to take with me spontaneously, whereas I'd leave a bigger camera at home for casual day trips.

[@Eyeamsurreal]

Thank you for this review. Lots to consider, especially the wind tunnel and sniff test (LOL). I’ve decided to go with the 6D Mark II. I shoot street and live shows. Compared to my T6, this will do a great job. Thank you!

[@AlicesWondereland]

I'm late to the party on this. But I think the UHS II card in the RP is useless. The camera doesn't take photos fast enough to use them, outside of shooting 4K. Which isn't the reason why I'm buying a still camera.

[@1keyl]

Audio jack is fundamental. RP gets the check mark there.

[@loncydale]

Actually 6D2 has dual pixel in live view mode. And it's ergonomic is way more pro-like.

[@tarikbuyukeskici]

Hi Jared. I need your advise please. Should l buy 90D or 6D Mark II for daily use?

[@waynosfotos]

If going mirrorless I would push for the “R”, but canon do need a high level “R mount” camera for the people wanting to match the better glass to this new system.

[@norbertalleaume]

Thank you for the comparison Jared -for someone who has 4 Lp -e6 batteries for the canon 60d , I think the canon 6d mark ii is the way to go and besides for travel photography I believe having a built in gps is important because though the eos rp can geotag the pics through an app from your smartphone , shits happens u can forget to open the app on your mobile phone for your camera to geo tag the pics .Correct me if I’m wrong but I do believe that the gps feature will only work if you open the app on your smart phone it’s not automatic like u would get into your car and your music player will automatically start to play the music from your smartphone . I think the top screen and the iso button is important to have, good for night photography. Besides I don’t think the eos rp is a camera that can last more than 5 years in places which have very high humidity -too much electronic. For someone who has a canon aps-c dslr which is in perfect condition, the 6d mark ii is the way to go because u will be able to use the same FF lens on both cameras , while the RF lens won’t mount on my canon 60 d. For me if there was an update for the app re the gps , I could choose the eos rp - I know that the RF 24-105 f/4 is sharper than the canon 24-105 f/4 is (now is it really much sharper ) I don’t know 🤔

[@kestu7772]

I prefer the 6DII because of more direct control options, and more fps for Dog action shots. By the way the 6DII has blutetooth too.

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.

[@jeffh89]

1. Jared, tech question: Electronic VF (EVF) give a WYSIWYG image vs Optic VF which doesn't. I see most landscape photographers use their LCD screens (ie Canon Live View) to compose their image, does that not give you a WYSISYG image? With Canon and Nikon release of their EOS R and Z6 & Z7 so much has been made of EVF's but is there any difference from what you see on your camera's LCD? 2. Comment on the video, not sure you can expect IBIS for $1299 ;)

[@calebmugira4421]

6D mark ii has bluetooth as well and also provides capabilities of previewing and downloading images

10:19 I like the RP's ability to transfer jpg photos wireless to a iPhone or iPad (or android). 2019 I use a Canon 5D Mark II, and I would love to be able to see my photos instantly on my 2018 iPad as I shot them. 12:10 I like the RP's ability to touch the screen and drag to focus. I choose the Canon RP as I shoot mostly still life like flowers n plants. I have invested in 3 EF lenses (50mm, 100mm macro, and 75-300mm) so I would get the adapter if I get the RP.
