Is the Canon EOS R6 Mark II worth it?
Yes — a great Canon for less than the Mark III.
It shoots up to 40 frames a second with autofocus that tracks people, animals and vehicles, keeps photos clean at high ISO, and has some of the best in-body stabilisation going. 4K/60p video is uncropped. At 24MP it captures less detail than the 33MP A7 IV or R6 Mark III, and both card slots are SD.

What owners say
Every verified owner we read is happy; they single out the autofocus and tracking.
Good to know
- 24MP is enough for most, but gives less room to crop than 33MP cameras.
- SD card slots only, no faster CFexpress.
- Autofocus isn't always spot on in every situation.
- Few third-party full-frame lenses for Canon's mount.

How we reached this verdict
Digital Camera World praises its 40fps shooting, incredible AI autofocus modes, class-leading stabilisation and 6K-oversampled video, with SD-only slots and the odd focus miss against it. Tom's Guide calls it a spectacular hybrid that's squeaky clean at high ISO, with modest megapixels its only real drawback, and TechRadar rates its autofocus, ISO handling and screen but found it pricey against rivals. It's been replaced by the Mark III, so it now sells for less.
We compared independent expert reviews with the manufacturer's specifications, then checked it's sold at a major retailer where you live. We don't test products ourselves.
