As it should be, the EOS 6D II is a better camera than its predecessor in almost every way. With plenty of resolution, respectable burst shooting speeds and pleasing Canon color, it's a camera that's capable of producing great images in a variety of situations. Despite this, it is simply overshadowed by competition that is made up of more capable cameras at similar or lower prices.

Social and general use, easy capture of casual video clips and those looking for a backup body for Canon full-frame glass.;

Photographers needing the best image quality for landscape work, or sports and action photographers needing a more capable autofocus system;

The original Canon EOS 6D broke new ground in full-frame pricing when it launched in 2012 for around $2,100. Its successor, the EOS 6D Mark II, debuts at $1,999 in a body-only configuration, placing it on par with Nikon's midrange full-frame model, the D750, and signficantly more than Sony's full-frame mirrorless option, the $1,600 Alpha 7 II, both of which have earned Editors' Choice marks. The 6D Mark II offers some solid upgrades over the original model, including a better autofocus system for both stills and video, more resolution, and a vari-angle touch LCD. But image quality doesn't match up with the Nikon and Sony options. Design The 6D Mark II ($1,399.00 at Amazon) is similar in size and weight to the original 6D. It's compact for a full-frame body, measuring 4.4 by 5.7 by 2.9 inches (HWD) and weighing 1.7 pounds without a lens. Like most SLRs, it's finished in matte black, with a rubberized covering that makes it more comfortable to grip. The viewfinder is a glass pentapr...

The Canon EOS 6D Mark II improves upon its predecessor with 26-megapixel resolution, improved Live View focus, and a 45-point autofocus system, but its sensor isn't as good as competing models.

Full-frame 26-megapixel image sensor; 45-point autofocus system; Dual Pixel AF in Live view; 6.5fps continuous shooting; Vari-angle LCD; Integrated Wi-Fi and GPS

More image noise than expected; Limited dynamic range for full-frame; Small AF coverage area; Video limited to 1080p; Omits built-in flash

Great low light performance, Fast AF, light and portable compared to other full frames. Works really well for capturing my young kids and for traveling.

digital Goja offered a bundled package for the same price as I would have paid for the camera body alone, great place to shop.

I bought this camera as an "open box" but once the camera arrived, it looked as if it was brand new and included everything in the original box! This is my first Full Frame camera and it is definitely an upgrade from the EOS Rebel I had before.

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...

Launched in June 2017, the EOS 6D Mark II is Canon’s latest semi-pro DSLR, aimed at enthusiasts looking to dip their toes in to full- frame photography, or pros after a more affordable second body.

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.

Produces detailed, nicely saturated images; Weatherproof and dustproof; Articulating touchscreen; Very well built;

No 4K video; Only has a single card slot; Viewfinder only has 98% coverage;

I have updated my camera to this model through Harvey Norman - also a lens - great range of camera equipment and accessories and staff have great product knowledge. No need to go to a camera warehouse as HN have everything you need or can get it in for you. Plus great choice of purchasing options.
