I’ve been using prosumer cameras for 30 years. I decided it was time to replace my 13-year old Canon 7D, and I chose the Canon R6 Mark II. I’m very happy with it. I was considering buying the R8, but when I held it, I realized it was too small to fit comfortably in my hand. (I’m just an average size guy, with average male hands.) The R6 Mark II is 1/4″ taller so it fits my hand better than the R8, plus it has a better viewfinder (especially important for glasses wearers like me), plus it has in-camera image stabilization. To me, those were the features that justified the extra price.
Compared to my old Canon 7D, the new R6 Mark II has *much* better focusing, better resolution (more than the extra 6 megapixels would suggest), and shoots in much lower light. With the 7D, ISO 1600 was the highest I could go if I wanted good image quality, but the R6 Mark II can easily go up to ISO 12800. Heck, even ISO 56000 works for casual use.
The camera has TONS of customizations. So if you like to tinker and read user manuals, you will be in heaven.
One of the cool new features is focus stacking. This lets you take a close-up picture of something and get the whole thing in perfect focus, front to back. The camera takes many individual shots, each at a slightly different focus point, and stitches them together in-camera. It works best with a completely still subject and a tripod, so I won’t be using it a lot, but it is cool.
I was wondering how much I would like the electronic viewfinder, and it turns out I prefer it over a “real” viewfinder that older DSLR cameras like my 7D have. The biggest benefit is at night because the viewfinder is brighter; this makes the camera easier and more fun to use.

Great camera! Watch YouTube reviews. You will not be disappointed. Dream focus system. Just amazing sharpness. Body and flip out screen feel a little cheap to me coming from dslr bodies. We will see how it holds up over time. Get it when the price drops.

After using this camera for several weeks, I’m in love. Still lots to learn, but picture quality is excellent and the autofocus is the best that I’ve seen. The features on this camera are amazing. I think this one is a keeper!
Moved from a Nikon z6ii to this, the nikon was impressive, but the focus on this one is much faster. Great purchase.

I’m not a camera guy but I got this for my girlfriend for christmas and she loves it. She uses it all the time and brings it with her to all of our parties. Makes me happy seeing her so happy.

I mostly use this for photography, but the videography capabilities this has make me want to take more videos. The image quality is stunning with both the nifty fifty and high quality L glass. I’ve seen a lot of upgrades from the early days of DSLR cameras (my first being a canon 20d many moons ago) but honestly I have difficulty seeing where we will go from here in 20 years that makes meaningful improvements.
I’m not a professional, so I’m sure there will be workflow improvements and minor usability/ergonomic enhancements that are well worth it to somehow who shoots all day every day, but I simply can’t see needing to upgrade for a very long time.

It is solid built, great camera. Matched with f4 24-105. Used for family photos and scenery with excellent results.

Sí lo que buscas es una cámara de fotos o piensas hacer un upgrade viniendo de DSLR, sin duda la recomiendo bastante, esta más que sobrada para la gran mayoría de usuarios.
NOTA. Si sienten que suena la cámara al moverla, solo si tuviera algo flojo por dentro, no se espanten como yo jajajajaja es el estabilizador el que suena. No, no está rota ni viene dañada. Esta es mi primera mirrorless y cuandó escuché que sonaba sí sentí terror.
VIDEO
Originalmente está cámara la compré para hacer video, después de mucho buscar y también por presupuesto, me decidí por la R6 II porque ya tenía ópticas y accesorios Canon, así que aposté por y decidí darle una oportunidad. Hasta el día de hoy que escribí esta reseña, aún no la he calado para video ni explotado el C-LOG o el 6K RAW.
VENDEDOR
El vendedor en mi caso fue PROIMPORTS y el tiempo de entrega fue bastante bueno a pesar de que la compré en fin año. La esperaba un 8 de Enero y llegó el día 5 vía Estafeta.
El embalaje puede mejorar muchísimo, para ser un equipo que no vale $2 pesos, solo le pusieron unos cartones al rededor y nada más. Por suerte llegó bien y sin problemas.
GENERALES
Sin duda es un equipo que se le puede exprimir bastante para fotografía. La pantalla y el viewfinder son una chulada. Si quieres hacer puras fotografías está más que sobrada para la gran mayoría de nosotros. Ya si te dedicas a fotografía de deportes o de vida salvaje/naturaleza considero que ya una R3 sería muchos mejor.

This review is for the delivery only for what I guess is a 3rd party vendor. Delivery was as expected with no issues. On time and no issues with packaging. For reviews of the product, you should consult the dedicated product sites. I admit to some ambivalence to the camera. Canon comes out with a new iteration almost every year and the latest may be cheaper and more than adequate for your needs. Plus an advanced P+S, which almost everyone gets anyway, may also be more than adequate.
