Getting back to shooting after 12 years for a hobby again, looking at a used R6 then a new R8 but your video has pushed me to just order a new R6ii for Thanksgiving. Thank you for taking the time out to make this video and your other videos.

I've been shooting Canon for 18 years and for 12 of those I used the best Canon 1 Series. I used Rebels, 20D, 30D, 5DIV, and EOS R. I got the R6 II when it came out and it's THE best camera I've ever used by a fair margin. The AF is way better than any of the 1 Series cams, EF lenses adapt PERFECTLY, the video is better than it's direct competition like the A7IV and S5 II both of which don't have full frame 4k60 like the R6 II, the battery life is phenomenal, and dynamic range and noise are the best of any camera I've used. I've printed billboards with 8MP cams that looked incredible, and 24 MP massive wall size prints that also are so detailed. I've compared the R6 II files upscaled to 45 MP to the R5 files taken with the same lenses and there is very little differnce. When printed there is 0 difference. But if I want, I can use the Superscale ability of LR/Camera Raw to get even sharper files. My buddy and I have 30 years of photo/design experience and when we did a comparison of superscaled files from the R6 II to the R5 (both equated to 45 MP) we chose the R6 II files as sharper/more detailed 9/10 times when zoomed in to 100% on large monitors. To me MP is now more marketing than a necessity. I shoot hockey with the R6 II and adapted 70-200 2.8 IS III and this thing is almost perfect. I get about 98% hit hate using eye AF... it tracks even through visors and cages! I never use electronic shutter as it lowers IQ, but as a pro shooter who used the best sports cams in the world that were "only 10 fps", 12 fps is just beastly imho and anything more than that is mostly marketing. I'd also say that the "soft" images you had when your daughter was jumping was due to the slow shutter speed. You will get a fair amount of blur at 1/320s if somebody is moving around.

It looks like you have a lot of experience and that's great. I'm really interested in your opinion on the comparison of the R6mk1 and the R6mk2. I heard that the R6mk1 has a different filter that makes the photos more filmy compared to the mk2, anyway, but that the MK2 is modified by software so that the photos look sharper as a result... Another thing is the ISO, which the body can handle higher ISO without quality loss... What is your opinion, please, is the R6mk1 still worth it or is it outdated and the R6mk2 already offers a much better picture? Or the Canon R5mk1 wins in output quality over the R6mk1-2 series

I also switched from R6 to R6 mk2… I enjoy the improvements in AF accuracy, stickiness and speed. The extra 25% of mpixel helps with detail. It seems to me that R6mk2 has a better AF than the R5 and seems to be closer to the lovely R3. I do wildlife, birds and nature photography where I enjoy the improved AF and picture quality as well as colors. Thanks for sharing your first experiences. I’m certain you will enjoy 🤗

I had an R6 and needed a 2nd camera for shooting weddings. Picked up the R6 Mark II not thinking it would be much of an upgrade but I would say the autofocus is about 2-3 times better than the original R6. At the wedding during the ceremony it didn't miss. I had moments where I was going to miss a shot and I just aimed the camera in the direction of the subject and fired and it hit Every. Time. I was blown away. Bringing the photos into my computer I feel the colours are a little different. Not bad. The photos seem a little more contrasty like there is more dynamic range. Im not sure but that's what I feel I am seeing. But ya, that autofocus makes the switch worth it for anyone thinking of an upgrade in my opinion.

This is my first Canon, which I bought for fast action with the reliable autofocus. I sold my Fuji X-H2S which disappointed in this regard (but was awesome in quite a few other areas). I am not sad I made the switch, and the inexpensive Canon RF lenses are great! I'm still learning the abilities of the Canon system but so far it's been fun.

I’ve been using the r6 II since launch and love it. That being said…I bought the r5 II and it may have ruined me. The fact you can control focus with the pupil of your eye through the viewfinder is mind blowing. You can also store up to 10 faces in the camera that take priority for focus tracking in a group shot like you would do in a wedding. But the tracking with your eye is so different incredible There is no excuse when photographing my kids to not get the one I want in focus. 🤯

I purchased the Mk1 at the start of my (new) photography career nearly three years ago. As business began to grow rapidly, I purchased the Mk2 just a few months after its release. The two of them make a wonderful combo. That said, I still use the Mk1 for 60-70% of my work (commercial photography) but that's out of loyalty/familiarity. The Mk2 is far more capable. I tend to rely on the Mk2 for sports/action and video (less overheating) and the Mk1 for "general" and walk-around stuff (stills, street, product, headshots, travel, etc.). If you were more of a hybrid shooter, you'd appreciate the logic of the stills/video switch and the separation of the custom (C1/C2/C3) settings between the modes..... again, if custom settings are your jam. I'll probably upgrade early next year to either the Mk3 or the R5Mk2 especially as I'm seeing an increase in demand for video. Candidly, I'm not sure why it took you so long to try (you could have rented BTW) the R6Mk2 or have a second body. If you've got a second R6MkI, you can tell your husband that you'll sell it to offset the costs😄. Good money can be had for them! Lastly, you have a beautiful family. You're truly blessed........

I was most impressed with the R6ii when I was shooting a music video in a dimly lit garage, pushing the ISO to 10,000. I was nervous and scared because I had never pushed my previous Canon 80D that high. After reviewing the clips on my laptop, I was amazed to find that there was not a single grain of noise in the video. That’s when I realized that I had made the right purchase. Even a year later, I am still impressed with this camera.

Well after an 80D (that is still a really good camera, don't get me wrong) you will obviously be very impressed, if going from apsc to full frame (of the same generation) is a game changer when it comes to high iso performance, going from an old apsc to a modern full frame sensor is a huuuuuuuuuuuge improvement, how do you like the focusing performance of a modern mirrorless camera? congratulations for the upgrade.

If I wanted to get a Canon R camera, the R6ii would be at the top of my list. I might finally sell my Canon 80D and move up to this mirrorless. Full frame and all its benefits in tracking and speed would be worth it. And it is a decent video camera also.

The R6 ii is a superb camera, but the freezing issue is relevant. Mine does it periodically and its a bit stressful not knowing when its going to happen, especially at events I need total reiability. That said, its generally not often it freezes, but it goes through phases. Its off to Canon next week for them to check it over...

the camera profiles are not any less raw or any more edited than adobe profiles. The profiles are meant to match how the camera's sensor data is handled. Unfortunately, camera profiles for Canon bodies have no input from Canon and are approximations by Adobe (you can compare Canon's Digital Photo Professional software and how DPP handles the sensor data much better than Lightroom, but unfortunately, Lightroom is better for mass edits of photos so we're stuck with these approximations). That said, starting from these camera profiles for me has been a revelation. For many years, I had used Adobe profiles without knowing the difference with camera profiles. I had thought that camera profiles were akin to presets where the sliders were preselected. But they're totally different. And until I used camera profiles, I didn't understand when people said "Canon color science." It also made it easier for me to edit photos as I had a better starting point than Adobe Color.

I did always use the original R6 for very high ISO (12800) but the R6m2 is a much faster camera. I now have the R3 instead of my R6 and I'm about to try the R3 again in very low light conditions. Keep the R6m2 and trade in your R6 for another one! That way you won't have the issues with muscle memory from one body to another.

I bought the mk2 just under 2 years ago. It went back after 1 year for an error 70, repaired under warranty, just sending it back again for the same problem. Luckily it is still under warranty. A few months ago I bought a used R which , although a bit clunky to use, I have used more that the R6 mk2. I like the 30 mp sensor and don't mind the crop in video.

I'm not unhappy with my R6 Mark One. That sensor is a beast! And you can really do a lot with 20MP even if you crop a little. It's my go-to for most things, except wildlife where it's time to break out the R5. Not that I've ever gotten to use it because my son keeps using it and I wind up using my R7, but that's okay because he gets amazing shots, but I finally got him an R5C so now we can go shooting together and I can use a full frame camera. Anyway, these shots looked amazing! And I can hardly believe what you got at such high ISO after de-noising. That extra 4MP is definitely tempting. I would've gotten the Mark II earlier this year when it was on sale but I just had other purchases ahead of it. Maybe next year!

The R6M2 is a great camera. Although you could wait for a mark III, it will be more expensive, and I do not see them doing all that much better on autofocus or being a stacked sensor. As for the issue of CFexpress vs SDHC, yeah, the CFexpress works well if you are shooting video or stills at 30 frames per second, but I doubt you are chewing through that much 8k video or larger RAW files at high velocity. I have both an R6M2 and an R5M2. What I really like about the R6M2 is the weight. It is a little lighter than the R5M2, and it makes a great camera to walk around with on your neck or back. I record to the UHS-II cards and have had absolutely no problem. As for the whole "SDHC cards can fail" warning, I have never had one go bad. Now the old compact flash cards, I have more than once regretted using them. Do not overthink the R6M2. Get out and shoot with it. It is like having an R5M2 only lighter with smaller RAW files. If I had to give up one of my camera bodies, it would be the R5M2 and not the R6M2.

You may want to try a little faster shutter speed and on the movement shoots.

Hey KJ, thank you for the detailed review of this camera, I have the R6 Mark II, upgraded from the Canon 6D Mark II and I absolutely love this camera. I would love to hear your opinion and review of the new RF 35mm 1.4 L lens, would you be willing to review that lens?

Grrrrrrrrr. Grr. I've only had my original 6 for 17 months and I'm not due for an upgrade yet!!! And then I watched this. Sigh . . . Either way, thanks once again for such a great synopsis. Sometimes your wisdom is vexing but at least we know more now. 😊

The R6 MK II AF is insanely good over the R6. Also color balance is better. I shoot action and that AF never missed. I enjoyed watching you convince yourself this is a good upgrade

Great video, but I think the timing is pretty bad - the rumors are that the R6MK3 are coming out any month now. I would not pay full price for an MK2 this close to a new model release.

This is gonna be interesting. I’ve had two Mark II‘s for a while. Generally love them BUT every couple hundred photos they freeze. Nothing helps except taking out the battery… had them in repair 3 times and Canon says they cannot find anything… last wedding, camera froze while the bride was walking down the aisle 😮, you can’t imagine my inner panic but luckily I still got several shots… I need sth reliable 😢

Ordered mine the minute it came out and sold my other one. It’s been quite awhile. I STILL (sometimes) turn my video on instead of turning off the camera. Lol

What is the lens that you are using? I didn’t want you to like this either!! I’m in between deciding on the Canon MarkIV (and I’m aware they are discontinuing this line) and or this Canon R6 MKII camera. This doesn’t help that you are leaning towards this camera!! 😖😫. Just so you know - I wanna be YOU when I grow up! ☺️🥹🥰📷

Thank you for this video. Interested to know if you do a wedding with this camera how you set it up. You did a video on your camera setting with your past camera. I wonder if you will keep it the same. Thank you!

I got the mark ii about a month ago and I LOVE IT. The only thing that drives me insane is the other placement of the on and off switch, I keep on switching to video instead of turning my camera on 😂 other than that it’s amazing

What about file size, and memory cards? Do you need a different type of card, or can you use the same cards the R6 used? I understand it is an upgrade, so it is going to perform better, but are the upgraded features "better enough" to warrant upgrading? Maybe a Part 2 is needed, to see how you feel when the honeymoon is over😁.

I’ve never felt like my original R6 was holding me back. (I also still shoot with a 6D.) I heard the R6 mark iii is on the horizon. Maybe I’ll wait for that. lol
