Canon EOS 6D Mark II DSLR Camera Body 6DIIB review
Sitting beneath the 5D Mark IV in Canon’s full-frame DSLR line-up the 6D Mark II is attractively priced and a solid upgrade on the original 6D. The sensor is new and brings a 6million-pixel jump in resolution yet thanks to improvements in technology that the passage of almost five years brings and...
Pros:
- Full-frame 26.2Mp sensor
- Fast and accurate AF system for use with the viewfinder
- Useful vari-angle screen with well-implemented touch-control
- Processor: Digic 7
- Sensitivity range: Stills: 100-40,000 expandable to 50-102,400
- Movie: 100 – 25600
- Reflex AF system: 45 cross-type AF points
- Live...
Cons:
- AF points grouped around the centre of the frame
- No 4K video recording
- Rather limited dynamic range

Canon EOS 6D Mark II review
With the 6D Mark II, Canon has produced a decent all-rounder, but it’s missing too many things to truly excite in what is now a crowded market. In 2012, it was quite something to have a full-frame camera in a small and light body, at a ‘cheap’ price. Fast forward five years, and we have more choice than ever – so much so, that the technology on board the 6D Mark II is no longer revolutionary. What’s more, with the introduction of Sony’s much-lauded A7 and A9 cameras, ‘small’ has been redefined. If you’re an existing Canon user who wants to make the move to full-frame, it makes sense to stick with what you know, but bear in mind that if you have any APS-C only lenses, you’ll need to ditch those when you upgrade. If you’re an existing 6D owner, you’d probably be better advised to save your pennies a little longer and go for the more advanced 5D Mark IV, or perhaps the older 5D Mark III if you can find one. All in all, the 6D Mark II is a solid and dependable camera, which is capable of producing very nice images. But the fact that it doesn’t record 4K video, only has a single card slot, and has a 98% viewfinder are all quite big let-downs at this price point.
Pros:
- Produces detailed, nicely saturated images
- Weatherproof and dustproof
- Articulating touchscreen
- Very well built
Cons:
- No 4K video
- Only has a single card slot
- Viewfinder only has 98% coverage

Awesome Camera!
I had a 6D and I updated to the Mark II, best camera ever, flip screen is super useful, touch screen as well. Awesome build quality as always, video side improved, not the best but is good, 1080p at 60fps is really handy. Compact compared other full frame dslr, so perfect for travel.

First full frame camera
This camera was an upgrade to a full frame camera from my previous cropped sensor Canon EOS600D. The 6D mk11 offers a significant improvement in technology and functionality. Easy to obtain great results with semi automatic modes and plenty of creative modes that can be customized by the more...

I will F O R E V E R buy Canon 6Ds
I'm a full time wedding photographer and I have been using the Canon 6Ds for about 4 years now. In my opinion, the 6D's are the best because they are a fraction of the cost as a 5D but just as good + it's a full frame. I also prefer the 6Ds because of their color sensor.

So I just picked up this body a few weeks ago for $1299 with grip. I was looking to return to FF after a fews years with Fuji. Fuji has been one of my favorite brands, but after renting a 5D Mark IV for a weekend, I found myself missing the handling of Canon, menu system, ergonomics, and their...

Canon EOS 6D Mark II review
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.
Pros:
- Excellent Live View focusing
- Comfy grip
- Refined touchscreen control
- Useful vari-angle display
- Connectivity options
Cons:
- Only 98% viewfinder coverage
- Absence of 4K a disappointment
- Limited AF coverage
- Poor dynamic range
- No USB 3.0

Canon EOS 6D
Outstanding image quality and sophisticated Wi-Fi functions, but the autofocus system limits its appeal
13 years ago
The EOS 6D is Canon's attempt to entice DSLR owners who are looking for the benefits of full frame shooting - including shallower depth of field and wider-angle lens coverage, but can't afford the EOS 5D Mark III .
Pros:
- Excellent detail in raw file output across ISO range
- Class-leading low light focus sensitivity (from central AF point
- Very effective JPEG noise reduction at highest ISO sensitivities
- Impressively quiet 'silent' shutter drive mode
- Quick Control menu provides easy access to shooting settings,...
Cons:
- JPEG engine struggles with low-contrast fine detail at low ISO sensitivities
- Low density 11 point autofocus array with only one cross-type AF point
- Single card slot (SD
- Slow burst rate compared to its full frame peers
- Cannot configure common live view and movie mode options independently
- Video...
