Step up into the full-frame game with the EOS 6D Mark II DSLR Camera from Canon. Making high-performance full-frame imaging more accessible, the 6D Mark II makes numerous advancements over its predecessor to improve upon every aspect of image capture and creation. The main update comes in the form of a 26.2MP CMOS sensor and the use of the DIGIC 7 Image Processor to deliver sharper, more vivid imagery in a variety of shooting situations. This setup offers an improved native sensitivity range of ISO 100-40000, which can then be expanded to ISO 50-102400, as well as speedy shooting rates of up to 6.5 fps.

Ensuring your images are tack sharp is a 45-point all-cross type AF system, which is able to track subjects with accuracy. This marks a significant improvement over its predecessor and will result in faster acquisition of your subject. Along with a revamped AF system, the sensor features Dual Pixel CMOS AF technology to provide a boost to focusing in live view and video shooting, which itself has been bumped up to Full HD at 60p. This setup works well with the 3" 1.04m-dot vari-angle touchscreen LCD, which permits use at various angles and with intuitive controls.

For hybrid stills/video shooters, you will enjoy the enhanced video quality as well as the ability to plug in an external mic via a 3.5mm input. Users will also have the ability to create 4K time-lapse movies as well as HDR video with dedicated settings and modes. Additionally, the body design has received an upgrade with improved ergonomics and durability, including dust and water resistance. Users will have access to many connectivity options as well, such as Wi-Fi, NFC, and Bluetooth, for connecting to a smart device, and built-in GPS for geotagging your photos.

26.2MP Full-Frame CMOS Sensor and DIGIC 7 Image Processor
Offering boosts to both resolution and low-light performance, the 6D Mark II uses a newly developed 26.2MP full-frame CMOS sensor that works in tandem with a DIGIC 7 Image Processor to create sharp, vivid imagery and video. This contributes to high performance in low light with native sensitivity range of ISO 100-40000, which can then be expanded to ISO 50-102400, if desired.

Assisting with the capture of properly exposed images is a 7560-pixel RGB+IR metering sensor that helps minimize the impact of flickering lights in your images and ensures accurate reading of the entire scene.
45-Point All-Cross Type AF and Dual Pixel CMOS AF Systems
Ensuring your subject is tack sharp, the 6D Mark II incorporates an all-cross type AF system, which offers 45 phase-detect points, for advanced tracking and focusing while using the optical finder for stills. This AF system can operate in lighting conditions as low as -3 EV and will work with various lenses with maximum aperture of f/8 and smaller, though with a maximum of 27 points. Five different AF area selection modes are available as well, for optimizing performance to your subject matter.

When using Live View and recording video, you can now use Dual Pixel CMOS AF on the actual imaging sensor. This offers wide coverage of phase-detection autofocus for faster and more accurate focusing in these modes. It is ideal for video as users will enjoy smoother rack focusing without the downsides normally encountered with contrast-based systems. Also, this works well with the touchscreen functions, allowing shooters to just tap to adjust focus.
Full HD Video Recording
For multimedia creation, the 6D Mark II comes equipped with powerful Full HD video recording options. The 6D Mark II offers improved speed with a maximum frame rate of 60p when capturing Full HD video. It also offers Digital IS with 5-axis image stabilization to minimize the appearance of camera shake for sharper handheld shooting. This benefits recording while walking or moving, and can also be used in conjunction with lenses featuring optical IS for more effective overall stabilization. Audio is high quality as well, with the ability to use either the built-in microphone or an external microphone via a 3.5mm input.
Body Design
  • A large 3.0" 1.04m-dot vari-angle LCD monitor is available for bright, vivid image playback and live view shooting, and its touchscreen interface features an anti-smudge design and can be used for intuitive touch-to-focus control and adjusting settings in the menus.
  • A single SD card slot is available for saving photos and video.
  • Optical viewfinder offers approximately 98% coverage of the frame and has a magnification of 0.71x.
  • The durable body design is dust- and weather-sealed to permit working in harsh environments.
Other Camera Features
  • A built-in GPS module allows you to geotag imagery in-camera as well as auto time sync with the Universal Time Code via satellites. This module is compatible with American GPS, Russian GLONASS, and Japanese quasi-zenith Michibiki satellites for a wide coverage of support.
  • A built-in intervalometer permits the creation of UHD 4K time-lapse imagery and supports recording consecutive frames in pre-selected intervals.
  • Bluetooth permits linking a smartphone or tablet for quick image sharing between devices as well as remote control capabilities.
  • Built-in Wi-Fi and NFC connectivity enable wireless sharing, control, and image transfer with a compatible smart device as well as the CS100 Connect Station.

I started with Canon in 1971. Sadly the coating on the view finder started coming off. And at time the Newspapers which I was working for used Nikon in their camera pools. So, after forty years I have returned to Canon. So far it is great.

We bought this camera about a year ago and my wife really loves it. She also bought with it the EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS III USM Optical Telephoto Lens. She has gotten great results with outdoor/indoor sports use (action shots). She has many people on my daughter's high school teams wanting their pictures taken during play. The Cheer Coach is likely going to purchase this camera/lens setup. Great job Canon!

I purchased this camera used from B&H in March 2022...I have been most happy with the results of this camera compared to my Canon 77d. Unfortunately after owning this for 7 months, and taking great care of it, it gave a err 20 which I have had to sent it in to Canon to have repaired...I saved about $180.00 buying this used but with a 30 day return policy...when contacting Canon it came up as re-furbished which I was unaware of. Just a word to the wise...the risk of buying used is not worth it. It will likely cost $200-300 to repair. For the difference in price I regret not buying this camera new. As far as the images I am pleased with those.

Great and affordable camera

I've been shooting with the 6D Mark II for a few years now and I haven't had any issues with it whatsoever. I'm a semi-professional photographer. I've done portraits, landscapes, products and just pictures for my personal use. The articulating screen is great for shooting above or below eye level. It provides a great view of what you're trying to capture. The touchscreen allows you to change settings quickly and easily. Great camera!

Worth it!

The 6D mark II is an outstanding full frame DLSR. This is an upgrade to my T8i as I wanted a full frame camera. Primary use is astrophotography hanging off the back of an 8 inch Schmidt-Cassingrain telescope. I'm strictly an amateur backyard enthusiast. I do shoot photos in the summer of birds and I haven't had that opportunity seeing that it's winter. Canon cameras are most user friendly, well built, and take outstanding photos. B&H provide outstanding customers service and their selection of photography gear is great.

can you buy an adapter for this camera so that you could use your EF-S lenses?
Asked by: Donna
No, Canon EF-S lenses cannot be adapted to the Canon EOS 6D Mark II DSLR Camera. Canon EF-S lenses have a protrusion at the rear of the lens that does not allow them to be mounted on Canon Full Frame cameras.

question

Updating my 7D - Im basically a landscape person - and wanted to get into full frame - many people are telling me the 5Dmkiv is the way to go - but Im finding sticker shock - like I said Im upgrading my 7D - I have 2 really good ef lenses - 70-200 f4 and 24-105 - I have the crop canon 10-22 that I use mostly for landscape- so if I went full frame Id need to upgrade that lens - now that looking like a $4300 upgrade verse a 2800 upgrade if I get the 6Dmkii - I dont do video - so is the 6Dmkii a good option ? Im looking for a camera to last me at least 6 yrs- thanks
Asked by: John F.
Actually, if price were no object and you wish to wring every pixel in creating your landscapes, you would be considering the Canon EOS 5DS DSLR Camera (Body Only) B&H # CAE5DS. With a 50.6MP Full-Frame CMOS Sensor and with your excellent Canon L lenses, that would the better combination I think for landscapes. However, that does not answer your issue. For that, I would suggest considering either the 6D Mark II or the original 6D. Both of these have excellent full frame sensor that look just about as good as the 5D line. Basically, what the 5D has over the 6D is pro level ruggedness, weatherproofing and features that mean more for those using them for money on a daily basis. I have two 6D's and do a lot of shooting outside. I have nothing but praise for the image quality and I am fine with the build quality. They do whatever I need to do.
