EOS 6D Mark II Digital SLR Camera Body – Wi-Fi Enabled

Since I have never owned a camera (having always used my phone camera) I did some research and had many recommendations to purchase this as my “professional” camera. I do a lot of traveling and hiking into nature and while my iPhone 15 does a decent job for small, closeup photos (flowers, insects) I noted it struggled with large, wide and faraway photos (mountains, trees, waterfalls, creeks, wildlife). This camera has yet to disappoint with multiple functions I have yet to figure out or play with. I’ve bought some nice lenses to use with it and the photos are the best I’ve ever taken with such detail of image quality. It’s easy to use and set up. There’s some good videos on YouTube to help you get started and explain all the functions for beginners like me. Definitely recommend

Not new to DLSR camera I wanted an upgrade. I did not own any extra lenses and was coming from a Rebel TSi, a laughable comparison to the 6D Mark II. Since I was not encombered by converting glass I wanted to get a Full Frame (FF) that would last a while. I compared this to the 80D and the 5D MKIV before settling on the 6D MkII. Namely, for the price point difference between 5D MkIV and 6D MkII I can invest the rest into glass (Canon MP-E 65mm, 100mm L) along with the wonderful 24-105mm as an everyday carry around. I was not at all disappointed. I waited for a little over two months to write this review. I got it at the time when the battery grip was included (a great deal), and I purchased an extra battery to fill the grip with. My first trip I went to several parks nearby to get a feel for it, then went to Yellowstone National Park for five days. Pictures came out incredibly sharp. The 24-105 is a sharp camera lens, wonderful for wide angle, but not Ultra Wide (UW) as the 16-35mm or 17-40mm (looking at getting this next). The functions are amazing, the flip screen LCD is scratch resistant, but I mostly keep it shut. What I loved was the GPS function for geotagging. However, this does kill the battery significantly quicker. Each battery lasted about 600 shots. Not too bad. Also did 1-time lapse with this. With keeping an FF, you don't need to worry about upgrading in the future, staying EF mounted and buying only EF glass (MP-E is dual compatible), gives ample of space to grow your lens collection. Picture Quality: Superb, not as fast a shutter as the 1DX but I'm not shooting sports, this would probably do animal shots "ok" but I'd probably go with the 5d Mk IV for this instead if speed is needed rather than stills. The Auto Focus (AF) is spot on with a working distance of about 1ft, anything less, switch to manual. Multi-Pixel AF does well, and the shutter is smooth. Video: For video, the 5D MKIV is slightly better, but not word breaking. Canon's 6D MkII got a bit of a bad reputation for Canon being lazy on the drivers. Well, I don't disagree, but there are enough features, and it's a camera that some pro's keep as a backup to their 1DX or 5D MkIV's. I can't attest to the video functions as I primarily purchased for stills. Overall, it's been a fantastic camera. Super happy with it!

This camera has some of the coolest features. I had reservations at first but you can't beat the price. It is well worth every dollar. I'm using it mainly for Astrophotography. ISO options are by far the best I've ever used. Very little noise and amazing pictures. I cant express how happy I am with it. The seller CameraSpot were very professional and accessible. There customer service was amazing. They were so helpful with any questions I had and went above and beyond to make sure I was happy with my purchase. Good customer service is hard to find nowadays. Oh did I mention, MY CAMERA CAME 3 DAYS EARLY!! 😃 I will definitely be buying from them again.

Fantastic camera

I got this as a backup for my 5D MIV, mostly for nature shooting but also for everything else, and I love it. The focusing speed and accuracy are comparable to the very-responsive 80D that I'll soon be selling, having decided to go completely full frame. The narrow spread of the focus points isn't ideal, but it's pretty easy to accommodate for, especially when shooting static objects where you can focus and recompose. And it's worlds above the original 6D. In fact, the 6D II has a bunch of new features that make it highly superior to the original. That fact compelled me to replace my existing 6D, not the least being the articulating, touch-sensitive screen, which helps me greatly in shooting macro wildlife, including venomous snakes. I'll be using it a lot for this purpose, and I'm very sure the images will be even better than those from the 80D with 100mm macro (though with full-frame I'll have to get slightly closer for equivalent shots....). The increase in resolution is also an important advance, allowing for cropping without losing much sharpness (also helps with those snakes, which sometimes I don't want to approach too closely). The body's relatively small, light dimensions are yet another plus, especially for a backup body. One reason I wanted another full-frame body is that in the field I generally have the 100-400mm mounted on the 5D MIV so that I'm always ready for a bird or other wildlife shot. Having a second mounted body for landscapes, scenics and other closer images--a body that's relatively light but also has high resolution--is important in the way I do nature travel because I like to go out with two mounted bodies. I don't want the weight (or cost) of a second 5D MIV dragging me down. This works beautifully in that light. The camera's much-hyped deficiency in dynamic range isn't really evident to me in shooting landscapes and general nature, which is most of its use. I just don't see a problem, just as I often don't see smaller "sharpness" differences, as defined by that one particular MP-obsessed testing website, to be significant in the real world. For critical uses, for example when the light spread is super-wide in a landscape, I'll often opt for HDR anyway, which extends dynamic range well beyond what any camera is capable of handling. Everything else about the 6D II--responsiveness, focus speed and accuracy, beautifully quiet shutter, sharp images, touchscreen, intuitiveness, and on and on--are all important to me and a good reason for my upgrade. If you're considering going full frame from APS-C, this is probably your best (Canon) option. For anyone already shooting full frame, this body makes a fine backup.

If you're like me and have a lot tied up in high quality Canon glass, the EOS 6D Mark II with its full frame CMOS sensor is the logical place to step in and unlock the short end focal length of your lenses. My 17-40 f4L is now a true 17mm at its wide end and it looks fantastic in the viewfinder. My 28-300mm f3.5-5.6L IS is now vastly more usable indoors than on the 1.6X crop sensor SLR's, which rendered its short end a 45mm instead. Feature-wise, the EOS 6D Mark II is very comparable to the current crop of xxD series Canon SLR's. Canon down graded the shutter from 1/8000 found on the 80D to 1/4000, and cut top flash sync to 1/180th instead of the 1/250th found on the 80D. This would have been an ideal time to at least match those specs found on the more budget friendly Canon SLR's. I still don't find those specs to be deal breakers, especially in a body that offers a full frame sensor at this price point. It is in all ways an improvement over its predecessor, the 6D. The EOS 6D Mark II gets panned in some circles (mostly professional) for not living up to the performance hype of more costly Canon pro bodies. In honesty I don't think Canon necessarily intended it to replace bodies in its high end (and high cost!) professional line. However if you're a hobbyist or advanced amateur looking to unlock the potential of a full frame CMOS sensor, this is one to consider. Built-in GPS, Bluetooth, weather sealed body and more, help make this a keeper.

My wife and I recently had a baby, and the shots I was getting with my old Canon T3i and kit lens just weren't cutting it. I didn't want to get a 5D because of the price, and am very happy with the 6D. One of the things I was most looking forward to in the upgrade was having more focus points. This one has 45 focus point, and I'm always using this upgraded capability from the 11 focus points that were on my old T3i. I was initially worried since some of the YouTube reviews said that the focus points were all clumped in the middle, and this is definitely true. I'd say that about 10-15% of the time, I wish that the focus points were more spread out and I could focus on something closer to the edge of my photo. Getting a 5D or a mirrorless camera would certainly help with this. Overall though, it's not a huge issue, and I make it work. High ISO quality is great, tons of features, wifi works (although don't expect this to work like AirDrop...), and the pictures of my daughter always come out sharper and with better colors than iPhone pics. I now have a speedlight, am using the 24-105 F4, and also have a Canon 50mm F1.4. The 1.4 bokeh is so great, I love it on this body. I am also considering getting a 70-200 lens. If you want to upgrade from a crop to a full frame and shoot in manual a lot, this camera is awesome!

I've been shooting this camera for 6 months now and really want to give it 5 stars. It is solid, produces beautiful images, and I love the articulating touch screen and intuitive menus. I'm not bothered by some of it's well-publicized short-comings such as no 4K video, 1 card slot, or 1/4000 shutter speed, and I'm not having any issues with the dynamic range. If you want incredible image quality, this camera nails it. However, the limited coverage of the focusing points in the viewfinder can be a pain in the butt, and results in a 4-star rating from me. I was aware of this issue when I bought the camera, but I was upgrading from the Canon 60D which only has 9 focusing points. At first, I thought the "focus and recompose" method would continue to be an adequate work around, but the more I shoot, the more the focusing limitations annoy me. To be fair, when shooting in Live Mode, the touch screen offers more focusing coverage than the viewfinder, but I'm mostly shooting through the viewfinder. While this is an unfortunate letdown by Canon, it actually affects only a small number of number of my shots, and I'd still recommend this camera just on image quality.
