Canon EOS R6 Mark II

I think the Canon EOS R6 Mark II is a very user-friendly camera, which is suitable for novice to professional photographers. The camera excels in the autofocus system, which accurately follows subjects. The low weight makes it easy to take the camera with you, but my hands get tired quickly in combination with the heavy lens RF 24-105 mm f/4 lens that I use.

Familiar design I'm familiar with Canon cameras, so the design of the Canon EOS R6 Mark II feels familiar. As soon as I take it out of the box, I notice the low weight of the body. I can easily take this camera with me, so I walk into town. I use it with the RF 24-105mm f/4 lens and notice that my hands get tired quickly. With a light prime lens, you can easily take the camera with you for a whole day.

Accurate autofocus tracking The autofocus of this camera works very fast. In a busy shopping street he recognizes people, cars, trams and dogs. A big advantage is the autofocus tracking. This keeps a moving subject accurately and sharply in focus. When the cyclist I'm following disappears behind a tree, the camera focuses directly on her as she emerges from behind. You select a subject of your choice, but in busy places the camera sometimes switches too quickly to a different subject.

Speed The camera shoots very quickly at 40 frames per second. This allows me to capture every movement of passers-by. I shoot a running dog and don't miss any of the action, resulting in cute shots. The camera does not buffer quickly when I take many photos in a row.

Eye Detection The eye detection of this camera deserves extra attention, because it works very well. The camera automatically focuses on people's eyes, so I can quickly take portrait photos. The camera focuses on the closest eye. If you do not want this, you can indicate a preference for left or right in the settings.

Filming in 4K at 60 fps without crop I also easily make videos with this camera. I shoot these images in high 4K quality at 60 frames per second. An advantage is that the EOS R6 Mark II takes these images without a crop. Most cameras crop the image in this resolution, so you lose parts of your image. That is not the case with this camera, so I use the full image.
