Thank you for a down-to-earth look at the camera. Other reviewers seem to have all jumped onto the bandwagon of shitting on this camera, and it's frustrating when you're simply trying to find an unbiased review. Yes, this camera has problems, and so does every other camera out there. But I'm not buying a camera so that I can have the most megapixels or the most stops of dynamic range, I'm buying a camera to take pictures. People get so lost in spec sheets that they forget why they got into photography in the first place: to capture moments. I'd argue the camera you use is far less than 5% of the final image you walk away with, and the only thing people should worry about when buying a camera is "does this tool let me capture the moments that I want to capture?" As a portrait shooter, I upgraded to the 6D2 from the original 6D and have zero complaints. The quality of life upgrades from the flip out touchscreen, dual pixel AF, autofocusing system, and others more than justify the upgrade for me.
Alex Kline Couldn't have said it better myself. In addition to portraits, it should be a nice tool for bird shots (see comment on this page). I'll be using it for astronomy (read long integrations). Other reviewers have often their own agendas, allegiance to other brands, etc. Sometimes they even take pictures.
This camera is a really fun camera to take images with. I like to have fun when I take pictures and this camera delivers. You get great images and have a lot of fun at the same time. Awesome.
Coming from a T5i user of two years, the 6D M2 certainly has much better dynamic range! In my opinion verything about the 6D M2 is better compared to the T5i. That's why I chose it as my full frame upgrade camera. Almost forgot to add that I enjoyed watching your video! Nicely done!
Listen. People saying this camera is worse than the 6d are either non 6d shooters or arent shooting enough their 6d. This has a lot more cross section AF points. That's a huge upgrade and enough to make me upgrade to it. I cant afford anything better.
The auto focus system is a nice upgrade from the original 6D. Plus a few other bells and whistles. I'm sure Canon will still sell a lot of these. Most people are just salty about no 4k and not a big improvement on the sensor side.
dont buy it go for 5d mark 4. after a month you will know that it is not good as people saying about it. shoot it yourself and compare video quality with sony nx100 for video or D7200 or other nikon dslr above it. i used it and it didnt give me that depth i want video was not sharp really bad
I think that the canon 6d mark 2 might be one of the most misunderstood cameras that Canon has produced. I believe that depending on what you do with it and by the amount of income you get from a camera is way more important than modern features like 4k if you don´t have clients that ask and pay for it. I mean, some features just don't pay off for the majority of photographers that is out there and the perfect camera for everybody just doesn't exist. I would like a camera with image quality and look of a Hasselblad, features and ergonomics as a 1DX mark II and 5D SR , cheap so I can have two of them but expensive enough so not everyone can afford them. But at the same time not so complex and hard to use and last but not least, not too big and bulky so I leaving it at home since my phone are with me anyways. I have used a 5d mark 2 since 2012 shooting everything from sports, school portraits, weddings, family pictures and real estate as well hang it around my neck capturing candid moments of my own family. It was a really good all-around, workhorse of a camera that have paid for itself time over time again. Even if it was at the time of my purchase already an old camera next to the new Mark III that came out a few months later it have produced many good pictures. Waited a long time for the mark IV and during the time I picked up a lot of L-glass. When the 5d IV came out my jaw dropped, it was breathtakingly expensive for what I wanted it to do, for the material I produced and how much income I got from my photography from a yearly perspective. Since I mostly shoot real-estate now (with some exceptions like weddings during the summer months) its really comes in handy with a flip out screen for the kind of work that I do every day. Camera mostly steady on a tripod and 99% of the time in live-view, which is a joy to use on this camera, makes it really easy to expose and compose correctly on location. The really nice ergonomics, weather sealing, vari-angle touchscreen, easy to work with wi-fi, the range of canon L-glass, familiar and easy to navigate menu system and nice-size files to work with makes the Canon 6d mark II a great tool to use day after day after day. Its not so big, bulky and heavy which is also a plus if you travel alot. The AF spread in the viewfinder is indeed terrible and only one card SD slot narrows the usability alot for this camera. For the professional sport or photojournalist, wedding or landscape-photographer this is not the camera for you, but damn if its not the best real-estate camera out there.
jeez so many people shit on this camera so much, like of course it's not as amazing as the 5D Mark IV, or a 4K camera for video shooting, but I don't feel like it was meant to be. it was supposed to be a (relatively) cheap full frame canon most likely for those looking to upgrade from an APS-C sensor camera without spending $3500+ and in that sense it does well. most of the people ranting so hard in the comments are honestly probably just not in the kind of demographic this camera was marketed for
Sam, when compared to Nikon D750, it's a shame they even put their Logo in that camera. Nikon D750 it's a 3 years old camera, yet it beats badilly the 6D MKII and if that is not enough, it cost way less. Shame on Canon in all aspect, Price and Quality, it really sucks. I really want to like it, I went to see it, but unfortunately my 5 years old D7000 has yet a faster and more reliable autofocus, unacceptable.
Yea if you go for the G master lenses of course they will be expensive. Get any normal Sony lens and they are priced, although a little more expensive, competitively.That’s it. Sony’s lenses paired with the A7iii produced the sharpest images I’ve ever seen from a 24 mpx ff body. Not everyone will agree but it’s just my opinion.
I used to shoot with canon apsc, i switch to m43 olympus em5mkII. Since i learn many things about next camera: - no more mirrorless unless better power/battery consumption and start up delay. I miss so many shoots because of that and it's my complain number 1 - 16Mpix is enough for my need, but more is nice for cropping when i cannot zoom enough - 6fps is enough for my need - Sensor size doesn't matter if you have good lens - Flippy screen is a must! - I barely use video and don't even think about it, so 4k is not necessary - connectivity is very important - Menu system and ergonomy are way more important than what i thought - my exposure are mainly good so no need crazy DR - Iso max of 6400 is more that enough - Silent mode is very nice - Touch and shoot is a must since i experienced it - Mirrorless is smaller yes, but still big (once you use a proper lens) enough to limit my usage. - I don't shoot pro, so 1 sd card slot is enough - Shooting raw ok, but photo editing everything is a pain... So the jpeg rendering must be good (i would miss the olympus for that matter) - EVF is great but OVF is also fine, - I had to buy a grip to improve the handling, so i need something i can punch someone with! I think the canon 6dmkII would answer all my needs
Thanks for this review! A lot of Canon 6D Mark II reviews on RUclips but not so good as yours! We use a Lumix g7 and a Sony a6500 for our videos. G7 for the talking parts because of the flip-scren but the autofocus is crap so we use manual focus and we are very limited, and a6500 for b-roll because it hasn't flip screen but good IQ and 120fps. We don't use 4K at all. We've tested the GH4, GH5 and some more but all of these cameras have a problem: bad autofocus, small sensors... Watching the IQ at 7:23 it's insane if comparing with our G7 or the GH5. Ok, if you focus on a tree you can see much more detail in the Lumix cameras, but overall, maybe because of the full frame look, we prefer the image that the 6D MarkII produces. We are about to buy it but it's so pricey! hahaha. The stronger points for us is the perfect face detection for video, the flip screen (which every single Sony mirrorless camera lacks except for the tiny a5100) and the full frame look. Would you recommend this camera for "vlogging - not exactly vlogging"? Thank you!
Nekojitablog I want to Vlog as well and have the same problems as you. I own PanG7 but autofocus sucks. Own a SonyNextT flip screen but no audio input, overheats, and footage doesnt match G7. What has been your best vlogging camera? ( your videos are great)
Thank you! We only own the Sony a5100 (we started vlogging with this camera), Lumix g7 and sony a6500. None of these cameras fit with our style because of the lack of something (audio input on the a5100, good autofocus on the g7 or flip screen on the a6500) but and the end of the day the most important thing is to tell something to your audience and you can do it with every single camera on the market. The problem is you have to know the limitations of your equipment and adapt your style to this limitation. For example, we know we can't do 'run and gun' vlogging because the footage would be out of focus most of the time, so we just vlog being static, sitting somewhere and focus in manual mode. We hope it helps!
Same here. Have the a6300 but the lack of flip out screen sucks. Thinking about the a5100 but then the stabiliser still sucks... The GH5 is way too expensive for a non-fullframe camera. What about the Canon 80D then? I know Casey Neistat uses it but I don't know if the image stabilizer is good enough...? I can't make up my mind. I am even thinking about buying the well known equivalent to the a5100 but the Canon m10... what to do?
Ummm in this world of photography it’s hard or almost impossible to find a perfect camera ! You can’t say that a camera suck just because doesn’t work for you , with the time the cameras are making everything and that makes lazy photographer and videographers , I agree with you I own this camera and I’m so happy with it ! It’s a good camera and in holidays the prize was soo good for this camera , amo su canal !!
I currently have 2 6Ds and to be honest love them, I've shot for 12 years on a professional level within the automotive industry and weddings. My main lenses are sigma art 20mm and 50mm plus a couple of canons, im looking for a newer camera that has the flip out screen options, i also have a Panasonic with this and it gives me a better angle and offers up more creative photography. This is about the 12th reviews ive seen so far and although everyone talks about functions that it doesn't have, few seem to highlight its main ones to me the slip out screen and touch screen. Lets be honest, i always feel its the glass on the lenses that shout. I think ill certainly look into these more in person as they are a strong camera for a mixtures of style.
It's nice to see an honest review! I still really like the 6d mk2 and it will probably be a big upgrade from my t5i. Anyway great video man and keep up the good work!
Slick, professional review. In the same quality sector as hardwarecanucks, the computer channel. And, that's a huge compliment, bro, because hardwarecanucks is cream-of-the-crop, top-of-the-line production quality.
Another + which people don’t seem to realize is the original 6D doesn’t go past 30fps, the Mark II at least does 60fps at 1080p which is a major plus, though it would be nice since it’s 2017 if it had 4K, and also 120fps at at least 720.
As usual, after bullshit reviews talking only about video options and "expert" comments, you try it yourself and find that this camera is just as good and it delivers great photos. Same thing with the old 6d. Biased all over internet, and in reality was one of the best cameras in low light, with great image quality. There are no bad cameras in full frame world.If you cannot take a good picture, it's not the camera, you suck.
People are nit picky about how it doesn't perform as well as a camera that's more than double the price currently (the 5d4). This camera fills it's roll which is a general purpose beginner full-frame. It's not for professional video - if that's a deal breaker, buy a 5d series or a sony. I needed a weather sealed full-frame for travel, wildlife, and the occasional portrait shot - and this camera will do everything I want to a professional grade. If I do no obtain pro-level images from this camera, it's because of me - not the camera.
Recently spent a week shooting a local series of fashion shows. I had to rent a 5D3 because my 6D shutter broke during one of the shows. I was shooting next to a friend who was using the 6D2 and I have to say it blew the 5D3 away for focus and image quality. I'll be replacing the 6D soon and most likely with the 6D2 as I don't need a ton of dynamic range and I don't shoot video much.
It has worse dynamic range if you try to recover shadows, but in low light it actually is better than the 6D, giving less noise at the correct exposure.
At 11:34-.... the camera was very expensive when it first came out... But shortly after, I was able to pick one up new for $500 less... with goodies included.
I’m most likely going to end up getting this camera. I think I’m going to wait about another month or so to see if the 90D comes out. If it does it should lower the price of the 6D Mark ii even more.
I bought the 6d about 3 and half years ago. Was my workhorse and a great one. After reading and viewing all the reviews available I went for a used 5ds. Simply amazing and was cheaper the a new 6d mk2. The 5d mk4 is too expensive and the IQ comparable to this one.
My greatest problem (when shooting stills with the 6D2) is the auto focus array. No problem when shooting video or stills using live view - the dual pixel AF is simply great but, shooting stills using the TTL viewfinder, the grouping of the AF array in the center of the frame drives me crazy. With my 7D2, I can just select a single AF spot or group of AF spots near the top of the frame and I will usually nail the focus on the head and eyes of my subject. The center grouping of the 6D2 makes me either use single shot AF and recompose or AF servo and miss the face of my subject. Using live view and face recognition is a way around this but, in really bright conditions, I cannot see the LCD for Live View work. Using a Hoodman Loupe secured to the camera with the Hoodman elastic bands is one work-around but, negates the ability of touch control. Do you have any work-arounds?????
Thanks for the review!! I currently own a 70D with kit lens 18-135 and prime 50 f1.8. For the moment I primarily want better image quality. I’m torn between upgrading lenses for the 70D or buy this body with a 24-XX L lens. What would you do? Thx!!
decent review, looking forward to your 5dv6d. i have searched for answers on why the video quality is so soft on the 6d, i hope this comparison is in your 5dv6d vid. i found if you settle at a mid f-stop its a bit better but still need post to clear it up. I do a lot of time lapse so leaned towards the 6d for that.
Zed, great review as always. I have a Nikon D7100 (cropped sensor) and I want to upgrade to a Full Frame camera. Im between the Canon 6D Mark II and the Nikon 750, and also the Nikon D500 remains an option even though is not full frame. What would you choose? I do mainly travel photography, landscape, portraits, photojournalism and street photography. Thanks!
Hi Lee, Thanks for the all the great videos and great images. I'm less than thrilled with canon's IQ for the last few years but really like the ergonomics which helps in difficult shooting situations . Questions - i prefer the 6D over the 5d3 (having had both) as I regularly shoot 3200-12800 ISO RAW images (not JPG). BUT the focusing on 6d is not that good even though I mainly use center point. I also use live view a lot for stills. Anyways I was eagerly waiting for the 6d2 but from reviews am a little concerned. Knowing that lowlight ISO performance with improved focussing is my main concern, would you suggest the 5d4 or 6D2? Any improvement over 6D at high ISOs?
No improvement when it comes to high ISO. But there is a decent improvement in the auto focus. And shooting in live view the DualPixel AF is awesome. Other than that its basically the same camera with more Mega pixels.
Watch Dustin Abbott's dynamic range review. He compares it against 5d4, and 5d4 is considerably better. For me personally looks like lack of flippy screen on 5D4 will be dealbreaker in favour of 6d2- way more versatility is more important to me than satisfaction over pixel peeping in extreme cases
rolandsv8 Thanks for the tip. I'll take a look. For me I would also love the flip screen but the iso is extremely important as I almost always shoot 3200-12800 and want to be able to push as much as possible. I have been able to use the 6d1 up to 12800 but that is kinda the limit. If the 6d2 is worse on this upper end then that sucks :(
How good is this camera for a still photographer? Is 6D Mark ll having the same poor AF performance of focus hunt in low and flat light conditions like all other canon cameras?
Hi. Did you have any problem with Sigma Art lenses working on this camera (when shooting pics, not a video)? I bought my 6D mk2 in 2018. My Sigma Art 35mm f1.4 didn't focus correctly at f1.4 through the viewfinder but did perfectly when shooting with a live view. It has been micro calibrated and worked perfectly for few weeks and then everything went back to the start.
Wow. I guess that makes sense about the digital stabilization....but no? I mean....it's digital. Maybe the lens needs to communicate with the body to help? Who knows. Makes me feel better about going the Olympus route though haha
Coming back from vacation and looking at my photos made with the Sony A6300 and comparing them with those from the 6D Mark II I now regret not have taken the 6D Mark II more often with me! Sorry but the full frame pictures are much nicer.
Thanks for an amazing review! Best on youtube! I want to know more about video - which is the best buy canon 80d og the 6d mark ii? I want it to replace my sony a6300 and for vlogging.
Do you think that I should switch from a6500? I would like a nice overall camera. I mostly shoot photos and I think a full frame camera would suit my needs :-?
6D Mk II by a mile. The new DPAF with the flip/tilt/touch and the better wireless interface, coupled with the ability to take pictures a little bit faster puts it above the 5D Mk III.
Zed, if i want to buy my first camera for pro videography and photography school, i rather buy this camera or nikon D750? or should i go with Canon 80D with better glass?? i have only 3K$ , thx.
Thanks for the review! Would you ever consider making a video on the lighting gear you use, and maybe sharing a few of the techniques that give you effects you like?
Mike Wakefield the 5dm3 with 24-105 i is cheaper than the 6dm2 with 24-105 ii. The difference is almost a gopro 5 black, which will give you 4k and you can use it the way jared polin is, mounted on the dslr.
The 6D MK II is a MUCH better tool to take pictures with. The images are better, and it's screen makes the camera a no brainer when it comes to functionality and fun. This camera has a ton of upgrades, but people waiting for it took all of the great improvements for granted, like the DPAF and the tilt/flip/touch screen, and they feel like they've been let down because it isn't a 5D MK IV for the same price.
No, people are disappointed because the new $550 Canon SL2 and the old 6D beats this DSLR in dynamic range. Sure DR isn't everything, but for the price and comparing to other models in it's price range, it's just a huge disappointment. No one expects it to be a 5DmkIV.
This camera beats the others with high ISO image quality. I don't ever shoot at low ISO, and this camera is head and tails better than my 6D. It has so many improvements, I am tired of listing them all. It is a great camera, and has all the things I wanted in a full frame DSLR. Anyone who claims that this camera is a dud because it doesn't have a low ISO dynamic range that isn't an increase isn't that much of a big deal, but it's the buzz word for all of the cool kidz who want to be hip by thinking they know what they are talking about when they harp on one particular issue that isn't really that big of an issue at all. Most of my pictures are taken at higher ISO's and this camera delivers, big time. There is something about the look of the images that this camera produces that just puts a smile on my face. The colors, the decreased noise floor, and the overall IQ is stunning. Every picture I review after a shoot just comes out a lot better than my 80D and my 6D. The people who even mention dynamic range in a one or two line comment are really just detractors, as they aren't giving any thought to how excellent this camera is.
Zed You briefly mentioned good AF tracking (for stills) w/ central point early in your video. Do you believe it'll do well for birds in flight? I normally use central point w/ the AF-ON back button pressed on the target but tracking would increase the keepers...
It should be pretty good if you use the center cluster of af points. It's as good as the 5Dmk3 af system (minus the fact that the points are all clumped in the middle)
I have been wondering this a lot. Usually reviews are not even mentioning this. For me color inaccuracies are the biggest downside when pumping up the ISO. Usually I don't really mind the grain and it can be even reduced pretty well when post processing but color is pain in ass to fix. Other thing that most reviews complete miss is that in post process some grain is easier to remove than other. For example in the past Olympus created more grain but for some reason for example Lightroom made far better job removing Olympus grain that from some other brands. This is not related to your review in any way but I really think that most of the reviews just cut corners too much.
The 6D Mk II has a very easily managed noise in post. It cleans up really nicely. You're right about the color reproduction. I would say that Canon has the best color rendition of the lot.
Hi Zed! Thanks for the video. Just wanted to ask you if 5D Mark iii would be a better choice over the 6D Mark ii for someone who shoots weddings, people, landscape and indoor? My main concern about the 6D M2 is the clustered focus points and the DR. Is the 5D M3 a better option considering it's 5 years old? Thanks.
They are both not so different in DR. the 5Dm3 has weird check pattern banding when you pull up the shadows. About the focuspoints. that only counts for the viewfinder. when you use liveview with dualpixel AF, the focuspoints almost cover the whole screen.
hi man great video thanks alot. i have a question well im a canon shooter (6d) and some lens and i was thinking instead of buying this 6d mkii to buy a sony a7rii ,do u recommend the sony (By the way i shoot weddings professionally and i wanna know if sony would be a good second camera with the 85mm f1.8 cause its kinda cheap beautiful lens, but is sony reliable ?
Omar Nour I switched from canon to Sony a7rii a couple years ago. I had a lot of problems with the camera as well as how expensive the Sony lenses are. I personally switched to Fuji and have been loving the system for over a year. I see no need for 42mp. But the people that are shooting with an a7rii seem to like it so it’s personal preference really.
thanks alot for the reply, yes i understand ur perception about the sony and thats why im not sure if i wanna invest in an expensive body and a more expensive lens .in my experience i bought the fujifilm xt20 when it first came out and i just didnt like the fujifilm Skin tones in portraits, so now i really dont know which backup camera should i buy cause basically my only option is to switch no Nikon but its kinda hard investing in a totally new system when i have soo many speed lights for canon
This camera has good dynamic range, i don’t get why you tubers keep bashing this cameras dynamic range. When you push it passed 400 iso it becomes on par with most professional canon cameras. Stop Pushing False Information.
What connect app were you using on your phone? Can you autofocus and then switch to manual focus using the phone? Something would be good when your phone is on a pole for photogrammetry projects.
I want an affordable full frame under $2000 for photo and video - But I don't care about 4K. I just need 1080p60. I'd like good DR and good video AF and good low light performance. My choices are the 6D2, the D750, and the a7 II. Which one?
moo if you want good video AF the 6d2 is the best followed by the a7ii. The D750 is not usable. The D750 is probably slightly better than the a7ii when it comes to dynamic range but they are both better than the 6D2. As you can see there is no one perfect camera. But as the person said above. The XT2 is a good choice as well even though it’s not fullframe. Has decent autofocus in video, great dynamic range, fun to use, great lenses etc. I put a links in the description if you wanna check it out. I’ve also made a few reviews on the xt2
High Ground Productions if photo is your prime thing and you're already in canon world, go for 6d or 5d mark 3 second handed.rest you can invest in lenses.For nikon d610, d750, d800/810 second handed.If you already have some body, whatever it is, go and grab lenses for it.Get the best ones you can get. You don't need a latest body, you need the best lens you can buy and your skill, nothing else matters.If you suck with what you have now, you will suck even with 1dx mark2 or d5.
Granted it's a few years later, but I just picked up a newer used 6DII to upgrade from my battle-worn 7D, and I'm really happy with it. The lack of a joystick bothers me a bit, but in reality I've become so accustomed to using the center focus point in conjunction with back button focus to focus and recompose that I hardly even notice. I shoot a lot with an EOS 3 35mm and it doesn't bother me that it doesn't have a joystick, so why should it bother me on the 6D MkII?
So are there any better cameras out there in the same price range in terms of dynamic range on a full frame sensor? I've been wanting to upgrade to a full frame but if the dynamic range on the 6D is not so good i may just wait for the release of the 5D MkV to bring down the cost of the MkIV and buy that
Thank you for a down-to-earth look at the camera. Other reviewers seem to have all jumped onto the bandwagon of shitting on this camera, and it's frustrating when you're simply trying to find an unbiased review. Yes, this camera has problems, and so does every other camera out there. But I'm not buying a camera so that I can have the most megapixels or the most stops of dynamic range, I'm buying a camera to take pictures. People get so lost in spec sheets that they forget why they got into photography in the first place: to capture moments. I'd argue the camera you use is far less than 5% of the final image you walk away with, and the only thing people should worry about when buying a camera is "does this tool let me capture the moments that I want to capture?" As a portrait shooter, I upgraded to the 6D2 from the original 6D and have zero complaints. The quality of life upgrades from the flip out touchscreen, dual pixel AF, autofocusing system, and others more than justify the upgrade for me.
Alex Kline Couldn't have said it better myself. In addition to portraits, it should be a nice tool for bird shots (see comment on this page). I'll be using it for astronomy (read long integrations). Other reviewers have often their own agendas, allegiance to other brands, etc. Sometimes they even take pictures.
This camera is a really fun camera to take images with. I like to have fun when I take pictures and this camera delivers. You get great images and have a lot of fun at the same time. Awesome.
Alex Kline hi
Coming from a T5i user of two years, the 6D M2 certainly has much better dynamic range! In my opinion verything about the 6D M2 is better compared to the T5i. That's why I chose it as my full frame upgrade camera. Almost forgot to add that I enjoyed watching your video! Nicely done!
Listen. People saying this camera is worse than the 6d are either non 6d shooters or arent shooting enough their 6d.
This has a lot more cross section AF points. That's a huge upgrade and enough to make me upgrade to it.
I cant afford anything better.
The auto focus system is a nice upgrade from the original 6D. Plus a few other bells and whistles. I'm sure Canon will still sell a lot of these. Most people are just salty about no 4k and not a big improvement on the sensor side.
Zed ProMedia pff. Get a RED camera for video or whatever. 6d is pretty good.
btw. if you need wider focuspoint coverage with this camera, use the DualPixel AF(Liveview). it covers almost the whole screen.
Buy a 2nd hand 5D3.. Dual card slot, beter af point layout. Cheaper too
dont buy it go for 5d mark 4. after a month you will know that it is not good as people saying about it. shoot it yourself and compare video quality with sony nx100 for video or D7200 or other nikon dslr above it. i used it and it didnt give me that depth i want video was not sharp really bad
I think that the canon 6d mark 2 might be one of the most misunderstood cameras that Canon has produced. I believe that depending on what you do with it and by the amount of income you get from a camera is way more important than modern features like 4k if you don´t have clients that ask and pay for it. I mean, some features just don't pay off for the majority of photographers that is out there and the perfect camera for everybody just doesn't exist. I would like a camera with image quality and look of a Hasselblad, features and ergonomics as a 1DX mark II and 5D SR , cheap so I can have two of them but expensive enough so not everyone can afford them. But at the same time not so complex and hard to use and last but not least, not too big and bulky so I leaving it at home since my phone are with me anyways.
I have used a 5d mark 2 since 2012 shooting everything from sports, school portraits, weddings, family pictures and real estate as well hang it around my neck capturing candid moments of my own family. It was a really good all-around, workhorse of a camera that have paid for itself time over time again. Even if it was at the time of my purchase already an old camera next to the new Mark III that came out a few months later it have produced many good pictures. Waited a long time for the mark IV and during the time I picked up a lot of L-glass. When the 5d IV came out my jaw dropped, it was breathtakingly expensive for what I wanted it to do, for the material I produced and how much income I got from my photography from a yearly perspective.
Since I mostly shoot real-estate now (with some exceptions like weddings during the summer months) its really comes in handy with a flip out screen for the kind of work that I do every day. Camera mostly steady on a tripod and 99% of the time in live-view, which is a joy to use on this camera, makes it really easy to expose and compose correctly on location. The really nice ergonomics, weather sealing, vari-angle touchscreen, easy to work with wi-fi, the range of canon L-glass, familiar and easy to navigate menu system and nice-size files to work with makes the Canon 6d mark II a great tool to use day after day after day.
Its not so big, bulky and heavy which is also a plus if you travel alot.
The AF spread in the viewfinder is indeed terrible and only one card SD slot narrows the usability alot for this camera. For the professional sport or photojournalist, wedding or landscape-photographer this is not the camera for you, but damn if its not the best real-estate camera out there.
Bro... you nailed it!! Doesn't matter what camera your shooting with... always the best photos!!! Still big fan of you!!!
On a positive note concerning dynamic range, at base ISO it has essentially the same dynamic range as the $6,500 Nikon D5.
jeez so many people shit on this camera so much, like of course it's not as amazing as the 5D Mark IV, or a 4K camera for video shooting, but I don't feel like it was meant to be. it was supposed to be a (relatively) cheap full frame canon most likely for those looking to upgrade from an APS-C sensor camera without spending $3500+ and in that sense it does well. most of the people ranting so hard in the comments are honestly probably just not in the kind of demographic this camera was marketed for
Sam, when compared to Nikon D750, it's a shame they even put their Logo in that camera. Nikon D750 it's a 3 years old camera, yet it beats badilly the 6D MKII and if that is not enough, it cost way less. Shame on Canon in all aspect, Price and Quality, it really sucks. I really want to like it, I went to see it, but unfortunately my 5 years old D7000 has yet a faster and more reliable autofocus, unacceptable.
Sam Terry totally agree. If Canon put 4k on it, no one would buy 1Dx mark ii for videography
Compared to Sony’s a7iii it’s terrible. I shot with the 6D mkii after using a 5Dmkii. Hated the 6D ii so I switched to Sony and sold my canon lenses.
Reza G what are you talking about? The A7iii is only 2 g not over 3g
Yea if you go for the G master lenses of course they will be expensive. Get any normal Sony lens and they are priced, although a little more expensive, competitively.That’s it. Sony’s lenses paired with the A7iii produced the sharpest images I’ve ever seen from a 24 mpx ff body. Not everyone will agree but it’s just my opinion.
The most honest and objectiv review of this camera I have seen.
Great work 👍
The Dude I tried my best
I used to shoot with canon apsc, i switch to m43 olympus em5mkII. Since i learn many things about next camera:
- no more mirrorless unless better power/battery consumption and start up delay. I miss so many shoots because of that and it's my complain number 1
- 16Mpix is enough for my need, but more is nice for cropping when i cannot zoom enough
- 6fps is enough for my need
- Sensor size doesn't matter if you have good lens
- Flippy screen is a must!
- I barely use video and don't even think about it, so 4k is not necessary
- connectivity is very important
- Menu system and ergonomy are way more important than what i thought
- my exposure are mainly good so no need crazy DR
- Iso max of 6400 is more that enough
- Silent mode is very nice
- Touch and shoot is a must since i experienced it
- Mirrorless is smaller yes, but still big (once you use a proper lens) enough to limit my usage.
- I don't shoot pro, so 1 sd card slot is enough
- Shooting raw ok, but photo editing everything is a pain... So the jpeg rendering must be good (i would miss the olympus for that matter)
- EVF is great but OVF is also fine,
- I had to buy a grip to improve the handling, so i need something i can punch someone with!
I think the canon 6dmkII would answer all my needs
Thanks for this review! A lot of Canon 6D Mark II reviews on RUclips but not so good as yours! We use a Lumix g7 and a Sony a6500 for our videos. G7 for the talking parts because of the flip-scren but the autofocus is crap so we use manual focus and we are very limited, and a6500 for b-roll because it hasn't flip screen but good IQ and 120fps. We don't use 4K at all. We've tested the GH4, GH5 and some more but all of these cameras have a problem: bad autofocus, small sensors... Watching the IQ at 7:23 it's insane if comparing with our G7 or the GH5. Ok, if you focus on a tree you can see much more detail in the Lumix cameras, but overall, maybe because of the full frame look, we prefer the image that the 6D MarkII produces. We are about to buy it but it's so pricey! hahaha. The stronger points for us is the perfect face detection for video, the flip screen (which every single Sony mirrorless camera lacks except for the tiny a5100) and the full frame look. Would you recommend this camera for "vlogging - not exactly vlogging"? Thank you!
Nekojitablog I want to Vlog as well and have the same problems as you. I own PanG7 but autofocus sucks. Own a SonyNextT flip screen but no audio input, overheats, and footage doesnt match G7. What has been your best vlogging camera? ( your videos are great)
Thank you! We only own the Sony a5100 (we started vlogging with this camera), Lumix g7 and sony a6500. None of these cameras fit with our style because of the lack of something (audio input on the a5100, good autofocus on the g7 or flip screen on the a6500) but and the end of the day the most important thing is to tell something to your audience and you can do it with every single camera on the market. The problem is you have to know the limitations of your equipment and adapt your style to this limitation. For example, we know we can't do 'run and gun' vlogging because the footage would be out of focus most of the time, so we just vlog being static, sitting somewhere and focus in manual mode. We hope it helps!
Same here. Have the a6300 but the lack of flip out screen sucks. Thinking about the a5100 but then the stabiliser still sucks... The GH5 is way too expensive for a non-fullframe camera. What about the Canon 80D then? I know Casey Neistat uses it but I don't know if the image stabilizer is good enough...? I can't make up my mind. I am even thinking about buying the well known equivalent to the a5100 but the Canon m10... what to do?
Ummm in this world of photography it’s hard or almost impossible to find a perfect camera ! You can’t say that a camera suck just because doesn’t work for you , with the time the cameras are making everything and that makes lazy photographer and videographers , I agree with you I own this camera and I’m so happy with it ! It’s a good camera and in holidays the prize was soo good for this camera , amo su canal !!
I currently have 2 6Ds and to be honest love them, I've shot for 12 years on a professional level within the automotive industry and weddings. My main lenses are sigma art 20mm and 50mm plus a couple of canons, im looking for a newer camera that has the flip out screen options, i also have a Panasonic with this and it gives me a better angle and offers up more creative photography. This is about the 12th reviews ive seen so far and although everyone talks about functions that it doesn't have, few seem to highlight its main ones to me the slip out screen and touch screen. Lets be honest, i always feel its the glass on the lenses that shout. I think ill certainly look into these more in person as they are a strong camera for a mixtures of style.
It's nice to see an honest review! I still really like the 6d mk2 and it will probably be a big upgrade from my t5i. Anyway great video man and keep up the good work!
Greg Yarbro have you gotten it yet? I have the t6i but not sure I am going to get this one bc all the bad reviews.
Not yet, i'm going to wait for a year or until the price comes down!
@@greggb681 Saw you posted this a year ago - just made the leap from the t3i to the 6d mkii, and it's a massive improvement. I love it!
@@B.Christine_W222 I started with the T5i and just moved to the 6D Mark II and I love it!!
@@pauldemore6888 thinking of doing the same, is it worth it?
the best review on this camera. good job.
I like the Mississauga shots!
One of the best reviews for this camera
Slick, professional review. In the same quality sector as hardwarecanucks, the computer channel. And, that's a huge compliment, bro, because hardwarecanucks is cream-of-the-crop, top-of-the-line production quality.
Well it doesn't matter. Your images came out amazing. And in the end it's up to us how we edit the photos.
Canons own 80D has better dynamic range and the 6D2 is just as good in DR as the Nikon D5 and i don't see people bitching about that camera.
i have that camera an thas not true.
Another + which people don’t seem to realize is the original 6D doesn’t go past 30fps, the Mark II at least does 60fps at 1080p which is a major plus, though it would be nice since it’s 2017 if it had 4K, and also 120fps at at least 720.
As usual, after bullshit reviews talking only about video options and "expert" comments, you try it yourself and find that this camera is just as good and it delivers great photos.
Same thing with the old 6d. Biased all over internet, and in reality was one of the best cameras in low light, with great image quality.
There are no bad cameras in full frame world.If you cannot take a good picture, it's not the camera, you suck.
People are nit picky about how it doesn't perform as well as a camera that's more than double the price currently (the 5d4). This camera fills it's roll which is a general purpose beginner full-frame. It's not for professional video - if that's a deal breaker, buy a 5d series or a sony. I needed a weather sealed full-frame for travel, wildlife, and the occasional portrait shot - and this camera will do everything I want to a professional grade. If I do no obtain pro-level images from this camera, it's because of me - not the camera.
"If you cannot take a good picture, it's not the camera, you suck."
ouch, that's hard but very true lol
All the reviews I've watched say that it's not a great camera. Surely that can't be the case
Recently spent a week shooting a local series of fashion shows. I had to rent a 5D3 because my 6D shutter broke during one of the shows. I was shooting next to a friend who was using the 6D2 and I have to say it blew the 5D3 away for focus and image quality. I'll be replacing the 6D soon and most likely with the 6D2 as I don't need a ton of dynamic range and I don't shoot video much.
Thanks Zed. I have the 80D and do a lot of RUclips videos. Was considering this camera. I subbed.
Great review, it may be a year older but I want the 80D
Other having bad comments about the camera but me is still looking forward to own it. I just wanna have one to save some good memories.
Great review! Thanks so much! I want to upgrade from a T5i. I can see here I will definetly see the change.
It has worse dynamic range if you try to recover shadows, but in low light it actually is better than the 6D, giving less noise at the correct exposure.
Great review nailed every thought I had and more. Smh... next up GH5
Thanks for the honest review
At 11:34-.... the camera was very expensive when it first came out... But shortly after, I was able to pick one up new for $500 less... with goodies included.
Interestingly at base ISO the 6D MK ii dynamic range is equal to Nikon's flagship $6500 D5.
I mis-read the title thinking that the 6Dmarkii shoots video in 4K 😅 Great Review!!
6d mark 2 shoots 4K, he missed that out
Nice review thanks and your pictures are awesome ;-)
It is not a bad camera, only price wrongly estimated . 1500$ would be ok.
marioplus321 yeah I would say it’s more of a $1600 Camera.
Let’s just make it a $700 camera lol since some features are behind the times
Even $1500 is *way* too much. The Sony a7ii is around the same price or less and is a *much* better camera
@@yashwinning yeah and you need like 7 batteries for a 2 hours photoshoot session.
$1299 now with lots of freebies thrown in . . .I couldn't resist. ..and I love it!
I’m most likely going to end up getting this camera. I think I’m going to wait about another month or so to see if the 90D comes out. If it does it should lower the price of the 6D Mark ii even more.
Nice Review man! very informative
Great review! Thanks a lot for the "Time Stamps"!)))
Well detailed review thank you.
I bought the 6d about 3 and half years ago. Was my workhorse and a great one. After reading and viewing all the reviews available I went for a used 5ds. Simply amazing and was cheaper the a new 6d mk2. The 5d mk4 is too expensive and the IQ comparable to this one.
STM lenses are designed for better video, and for me, it is an excellent still camera.
Best review I've seen of this camera :) Thanks.
very good
OHH SHIT! I just noticed your from Toronto!! Instant follow! haha, awesome video man (Y)
DUDDEEEE You're a sauga resident! :D That's aweosme
My greatest problem (when shooting stills with the 6D2) is the auto focus array. No problem when shooting video or stills using live view - the dual pixel AF is simply great but, shooting stills using the TTL viewfinder, the grouping of the AF array in the center of the frame drives me crazy. With my 7D2, I can just select a single AF spot or group of AF spots near the top of the frame and I will usually nail the focus on the head and eyes of my subject. The center grouping of the 6D2 makes me either use single shot AF and recompose or AF servo and miss the face of my subject.
Using live view and face recognition is a way around this but, in really bright conditions, I cannot see the LCD for Live View work. Using a Hoodman Loupe secured to the camera with the Hoodman elastic bands is one work-around but, negates the ability of touch control.
Do you have any work-arounds?????
Nice shots
I'm going from a T3i to a 6D Mark ii.... I think I'm making a good choice...
Thanks for the review!! I currently own a 70D with kit lens 18-135 and prime 50 f1.8. For the moment I primarily want better image quality. I’m torn between upgrading lenses for the 70D or buy this body with a 24-XX L lens. What would you do? Thx!!
decent review, looking forward to your 5dv6d. i have searched for answers on why the video quality is so soft on the 6d, i hope this comparison is in your 5dv6d vid. i found if you settle at a mid f-stop its a bit better but still need post to clear it up. I do a lot of time lapse so leaned towards the 6d for that.
Zed, great review as always. I have a Nikon D7100 (cropped sensor) and I want to upgrade to a Full Frame camera. Im between the Canon 6D Mark II and the Nikon 750, and also the Nikon D500 remains an option even though is not full frame. What would you choose? I do mainly travel photography, landscape, portraits, photojournalism and street photography. Thanks!
Thank you!! that was really helpful!
Hi Lee,
Thanks for the all the great videos and great images. I'm less than
thrilled with canon's IQ for the last few years but really like the
ergonomics which helps in difficult shooting situations . Questions
- i prefer the 6D over the 5d3 (having had both) as I regularly
shoot 3200-12800 ISO RAW images (not JPG). BUT the focusing on 6d
is not that good even though I mainly use center point. I also use
live view a lot for stills. Anyways I was eagerly waiting for the
6d2 but from reviews am a little concerned. Knowing that lowlight
ISO performance with improved focussing is my main concern, would
you suggest the 5d4 or 6D2? Any improvement over 6D at high
ISOs?
No improvement when it comes to high ISO. But there is a decent improvement in the auto focus. And shooting in live view the DualPixel AF is awesome. Other than that its basically the same camera with more Mega pixels.
Thanks Lee! I might look into the 5d4. Do you see any improvement in 5d4 vs 6d2 in high iso?
Watch Dustin Abbott's dynamic range review. He compares it against 5d4, and 5d4 is considerably better. For me personally looks like lack of flippy screen on 5D4 will be dealbreaker in favour of 6d2- way more versatility is more important to me than satisfaction over pixel peeping in extreme cases
rolandsv8
Thanks for the tip. I'll take a look. For me I would also love the flip screen but the iso is extremely important as I almost always shoot 3200-12800 and want to be able to push as much as possible. I have been able to use the 6d1 up to 12800 but that is kinda the limit. If the 6d2 is worse on this upper end then that sucks :(
Is the 6d2 worse than the 6d1 at high ISO? Am reading some conflicting reviews...
Wonderful review I like your honestly. Thank you.
How good is this
camera for a still photographer? Is 6D Mark ll having the same poor AF performance of focus hunt in low and flat light conditions like all other canon cameras?
wow your pretty good at these reviews. I love my gh5 I use it for both stills nd photos. glad I'm subscribed
How weird bro lol u liked my comment as I'm looking at your IG video of leahmathies lol
Hi. Did you have any problem with Sigma Art lenses working on this camera (when shooting pics, not a video)? I bought my 6D mk2 in 2018. My Sigma Art 35mm f1.4 didn't focus correctly at f1.4 through the viewfinder but did perfectly when shooting with a live view. It has been micro calibrated and worked perfectly for few weeks and then everything went back to the start.
Wow. I guess that makes sense about the digital stabilization....but no? I mean....it's digital. Maybe the lens needs to communicate with the body to help? Who knows. Makes me feel better about going the Olympus route though haha
Coming back from vacation and looking at my photos made with the Sony A6300 and comparing them with those from the 6D Mark II I now regret not have taken the 6D Mark II more often with me! Sorry but the full frame pictures are much nicer.
Thanks for an amazing review! Best on youtube! I want to know more about video - which is the best buy canon 80d og the 6d mark ii? I want it to replace my sony a6300 and for vlogging.
Great review ~ your tone screams objective XD
Do you think that I should switch from a6500? I would like a nice overall camera. I mostly shoot photos and I think a full frame camera would suit my needs :-?
why is no one talking about that bathtub photoshoot. shit was fire.
Nice Camera.
6d mark ii vs 5d mark iii which one is better for wedding photography
6D Mk II by a mile. The new DPAF with the flip/tilt/touch and the better wireless interface, coupled with the ability to take pictures a little bit faster puts it above the 5D Mk III.
Enjoyed your review
Thank you for the review. What is the app you use to connect the camera to your phone? TIA
Good shit man!
What kind of Flash were You using when taking Pics of the Ladies?
I am betweenthis one and 80d..which one do you suggest?:)
Zed, if i want to buy my first camera for pro videography and photography school, i rather buy this camera or nikon D750?
or should i go with Canon 80D with better glass??
i have only 3K$ , thx.
zohar moyal 80d is the best bro
Vietnam-Florida Traveler i have to get Full Frame
Yes the dynamic range at base ISO is only equal to Nikons flagship $6500 D5. You would expect more from a $1300 body.
should-i-buy-RP-or-6D2-?
Are these models come with camera.....
Thanks for the review! Would you ever consider making a video on the lighting gear you use, and maybe sharing a few of the techniques that give you effects you like?
Is the auto focus a touch auto? Also, great video!
yep
They definitely phoned it in on this model.
Upgrading from a rebel t6i and can't afford the 5D line, would you recommend going cheaper and just getting the 6D or going up to this 6DM2?
Mike Wakefield the 5dm3 with 24-105 i is cheaper than the 6dm2 with 24-105 ii. The difference is almost a gopro 5 black, which will give you 4k and you can use it the way jared polin is, mounted on the dslr.
The 6D MK II is a MUCH better tool to take pictures with. The images are better, and it's screen makes the camera a no brainer when it comes to functionality and fun. This camera has a ton of upgrades, but people waiting for it took all of the great improvements for granted, like the DPAF and the tilt/flip/touch screen, and they feel like they've been let down because it isn't a 5D MK IV for the same price.
No, people are disappointed because the new $550 Canon SL2 and the old 6D beats this DSLR in dynamic range. Sure DR isn't everything, but for the price and comparing to other models in it's price range, it's just a huge disappointment. No one expects it to be a 5DmkIV.
This camera beats the others with high ISO image quality. I don't ever shoot at low ISO, and this camera is head and tails better than my 6D. It has so many improvements, I am tired of listing them all. It is a great camera, and has all the things I wanted in a full frame DSLR.
Anyone who claims that this camera is a dud because it doesn't have a low ISO dynamic range that isn't an increase isn't that much of a big deal, but it's the buzz word for all of the cool kidz who want to be hip by thinking they know what they are talking about when they harp on one particular issue that isn't really that big of an issue at all. Most of my pictures are taken at higher ISO's and this camera delivers, big time. There is something about the look of the images that this camera produces that just puts a smile on my face. The colors, the decreased noise floor, and the overall IQ is stunning. Every picture I review after a shoot just comes out a lot better than my 80D and my 6D. The people who even mention dynamic range in a one or two line comment are really just detractors, as they aren't giving any thought to how excellent this camera is.
Zed You briefly mentioned good AF tracking (for stills) w/ central point early in your video. Do you believe it'll do well for birds in flight? I normally use central point w/ the AF-ON back button pressed on the target but tracking would increase the keepers...
It should be pretty good if you use the center cluster of af points. It's as good as the 5Dmk3 af system (minus the fact that the points are all clumped in the middle)
I have been wondering this a lot. Usually reviews are not even mentioning this. For me color inaccuracies are the biggest downside when pumping up the ISO. Usually I don't really mind the grain and it can be even reduced pretty well when post processing but color is pain in ass to fix. Other thing that most reviews complete miss is that in post process some grain is easier to remove than other. For example in the past Olympus created more grain but for some reason for example Lightroom made far better job removing Olympus grain that from some other brands. This is not related to your review in any way but I really think that most of the reviews just cut corners too much.
The 6D Mk II has a very easily managed noise in post. It cleans up really nicely. You're right about the color reproduction. I would say that Canon has the best color rendition of the lot.
The great thing about Canon is that I can get a 6D used for like $750. Ppl are abandoning in droves And I dont blame them.
Hi Zed! Thanks for the video. Just wanted to ask you if 5D Mark iii would be a better choice over the 6D Mark ii for someone who shoots weddings, people, landscape and indoor? My main concern about the 6D M2 is the clustered focus points and the DR. Is the 5D M3 a better option considering it's 5 years old? Thanks.
They are both not so different in DR. the 5Dm3 has weird check pattern banding when you pull up the shadows. About the focuspoints. that only counts for the viewfinder. when you use liveview with dualpixel AF, the focuspoints almost cover the whole screen.
@@MikedieONE. What is DR?
why 4k timelapse and not 4k video ? thats is incredible ! :(
Why? There are plenty of 4k cameras out there. If you want a 4k camera, buy a 4k camera. If they put 4k in the 6Dii, it would be more expensive.
Best 1080p image quality outside of maybe a 1DX M2. No point. I like the image out of this better than the 4k image out of my GH5. I own both.
Would you say that the 6D II is worthwhile upgrade from the original 6D?
no way
hi man great video thanks alot. i have a question well im a canon shooter (6d) and some lens and i was thinking instead of buying this 6d mkii to buy a sony a7rii ,do u recommend the sony (By the way i shoot weddings professionally and i wanna know if sony would be a good second camera with the 85mm f1.8 cause its kinda cheap beautiful lens, but is sony reliable ?
Omar Nour I switched from canon to Sony a7rii a couple years ago. I had a lot of problems with the camera as well as how expensive the Sony lenses are. I personally switched to Fuji and have been loving the system for over a year. I see no need for 42mp. But the people that are shooting with an a7rii seem to like it so it’s personal preference really.
thanks alot for the reply, yes i understand ur perception about the sony and thats why im not sure if i wanna invest in an expensive body and a more expensive lens .in my experience i bought the fujifilm xt20 when it first came out and i just didnt like the fujifilm Skin tones in portraits, so now i really dont know which backup camera should i buy cause basically my only option is to switch no Nikon but its kinda hard investing in a totally new system when i have soo many speed lights for canon
So if I need a FF camera with flip up screen and microphone connection can you offer something else instead of 6dmk2? :-)
This camera has good dynamic range, i don’t get why you tubers keep bashing this cameras dynamic range. When you push it passed 400 iso it becomes on par with most professional canon cameras. Stop Pushing False Information.
What connect app were you using on your phone? Can you autofocus and then switch to manual focus using the phone? Something would be good when your phone is on a pole for photogrammetry projects.
The cannon app on the Google playstore
Hi Thks for videos ^^ Does this camera has a "forced flash" option ( where ?) ?
I want an affordable full frame under $2000 for photo and video - But I don't care about 4K. I just need 1080p60. I'd like good DR and good video AF and good low light performance. My choices are the 6D2, the D750, and the a7 II. Which one?
moo if you want good video AF the 6d2 is the best followed by the a7ii. The D750 is not usable. The D750 is probably slightly better than the a7ii when it comes to dynamic range but they are both better than the 6D2. As you can see there is no one perfect camera. But as the person said above. The XT2 is a good choice as well even though it’s not fullframe. Has decent autofocus in video, great dynamic range, fun to use, great lenses etc. I put a links in the description if you wanna check it out. I’ve also made a few reviews on the xt2
High Ground Productions if photo is your prime thing and you're already in canon world, go for 6d or 5d mark 3 second handed.rest you can invest in lenses.For nikon d610, d750, d800/810 second handed.If you already have some body, whatever it is, go and grab lenses for it.Get the best ones you can get.
You don't need a latest body, you need the best lens you can buy and your skill, nothing else matters.If you suck with what you have now, you will suck even with 1dx mark2 or d5.
sale83 I'm only buying new gear 4 now
sale83 6D and 5D3 don't have 1080 at 60 fps

What where the settings that you used 🥰
awesome video. thank
Canon 80D + Tamron 24-70 f2.8 new one OR 6D mark ii + Canon 24-70 f4.0 which is your recommendation?
You rather should go for the sigma 18-35 art f1.8. its probably the sharpest apsc zoom lens you can get.
I have the sigma art. Amazon lens..but slow focus on low Light situation
what is the name of the app that you have mentioned? is it IOS only?
Piyush Nikam The app is CameraConnect from Canon and I think is for iOS and Android too
Granted it's a few years later, but I just picked up a newer used 6DII to upgrade from my battle-worn 7D, and I'm really happy with it. The lack of a joystick bothers me a bit, but in reality I've become so accustomed to using the center focus point in conjunction with back button focus to focus and recompose that I hardly even notice. I shoot a lot with an EOS 3 35mm and it doesn't bother me that it doesn't have a joystick, so why should it bother me on the 6D MkII?
The big dial that goes around the 'Set' or 'ok' button acts like a joystick.... multidirectional.
So are there any better cameras out there in the same price range in terms of dynamic range on a full frame sensor? I've been wanting to upgrade to a full frame but if the dynamic range on the 6D is not so good i may just wait for the release of the 5D MkV to bring down the cost of the MkIV and buy that
What if I’m “upgrading” from a canon t7i ??
Klasse gemacht gefällt mir außerordentlich gut Wünsche dir schöne Weihnachten LG
I'd say its a great camera to rent for a learner doing a course.
At least we can experience 4K in the review itself...
is diffraction limitation aperture a valid comparison tool? the dla of my 80d is 5.9. I suspect it is 9.3 on 6d2
Hi which lens r u using in the first shoot? Thanks
is the something amazing about cameras 1080 capabilities that I'm missing? why didn't canon make it 4k capable?
