The Canon EOS R6 Mark II refines an already excellent camera, with faster burst shooting, improved subject detection and strong video features.

Performance

The 40fps electronic burst and 1053-point autofocus system make it one of the best mid-range cameras for action and wildlife.

Video

Oversampled 4K up to 60p is clean and detailed, with Canon's reliable color science out of the box.

Who should buy it

Photographers who shoot fast-moving subjects and want a dependable hybrid body should shortlist the R6 Mark II.
