Description
The Canon EOS R6 Mark II + RF 50mm f/1.8 STM is a useful set with for the portrait or product photographer. Thanks to the large maximum aperture of the 50mm prime lens, you can take clear photos in dark conditions. In your portrait photos, the large aperture creates a soft background blur that allows the subject to stand out from the background. Thanks to the 24.2-megapixel image sensor of the R6 Mark II, your images have many details. This enables you to crop them without loss of quality. You can record in 4K resolution at 60 frames per second. Through oversampling, you can use 6K images to capture extra-detailed 4K footage.
SpeedThe R6 Mark II's electronic shutter takes a maximum of 40 images per second. The mechanical shutter captures up to 12 images per second. These high frame rates mean you don't miss an activity moment. That's useful when photographing a sports game.
Autofocus with subject recognitionThe smart autofocus system recognizes different subjects and automatically focuses on them. For example, you can take razor-sharp photos of dogs, airplanes, and people. Because the camera predicts your subject's movement, it keeps them in accurate and sharp focus as they move.
Photographing in the darkThanks to the large 24.2-megapixel sensor, you can take clear images with low noise in dark situations. The camera has built-in image stabilization, which prevents motion blur when shooting or filming handheld. It corrects up to 7 stops shutter speed, aperture, or ISO. You can take stable videos and sharp photos during active moments.

Lightning-fast and user-friendly camera
- Light body that you can easily take with you
- Accurate autofocus tracking
- Shoots fast at 40 fps
- Hands get tired quickly with heavy lens
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.

Perfect camera
- Super fast in focus
- Photographs well in dark environments
- Packed with features
- RF lenses nice, but
The smart AI features allow a child to do the laundry. Eye tracking so that faces are always in focus is super useful. You rarely have a shot that is out of focus!
EF lenses + an adapter can save a lot of money, but the RF lenses are great in use and quality.

Quality exceeds my expectations.
- Fast autofocus
- Dual SD
- Little noise, even at higher ISO
- Hit the price
Very happy with my switch from EOS R to R6MII. The improved autofocus in particular was an important point for me. The automatic detection of people/animals/objects also works well. Eye detection is very convenient to use. No more 'sharp nose, blurry eyes'. The main thing, however, was the double SD slot. That is a must in my case. You can also shoot up to 40 images per second with the electronic shutter. In short: Full frame, lots of light, little noise, fast autofocus. I'm happy with it.
The housing could have been better in my opinion. Feels a bit cheap, but opinions differ. Despite the fact that I always use canon, the menu sometimes misleads me.
Example: For a function you have two options 'Enable' and 'Disable'. You come across the function in the menu and see 'Enable'..... Well... that is only possible if it is currently switched off, right? So no.. With Canon this means that the function is switched on. Even knowing this, it's still confusing.
