Canon EOS 6D Mark II Pro Reviews

The Canon EOS 6D Mark II gives increased resolution compared to the 6D it replaces, with no reduction in noise performance. You also get great colour reproduction, and an easy-to-use menu system and controls. There's also a welcome update to the number of AF points, although the area is very centrally located.

Canon has certainly made the EOS 6D Mark II a more well-rounded and better specified camera than the EOS 6D, but it's not without its issues. These niggles dull what is otherwise a very nice full-frame DSLR that's a pleasure to shoot with. It will certainly please Canon users looking to make the move into full-frame photography, but others might be better served elsewhere.

The $2,000 price-point is a fascinating one for DSLRs and ILCs, with a bounty of excellent choices, whether it be Olympus' flagship OM-D E-M1 Mark II, Nikon's flagship APS-C-sensor D500, or this entry-level Full Frame EOS 6Dii. Each one has their ownstrengths -- the E-M1ii is one of the fastest and most rugged cameras in the world, while D500 takes gorgeous stills and has an outstanding AF system... And this new 6D Mark II takes wonderful still pictures and offers a lot of creature comforts wrapped in a package that makes it a pretty affordable way of getting into a Full Frame system. Sure, it's not the fastest or most rugged DSLR ever made, it should shoot 4K videos, and some folks will be happier sticking with their older camera bodies, but even with a few caveats, it's hard to deny how much performance and accuracy and convenience the 6Dii offers. In short, the Canon EOS 6D Mark II is the perfect package still-focused photographers shooting landscapes, wildlife, portraits or weddings.
