I still own the previous version of this camera body. At the time it was a HUGE step up from my aging crop-sensor 50D. Full frame brought me back to my 35mm roots and I’m loving it. Canon made a number of improvements on this second version of the 6D. For starters, Auto focus points…. MUCH more on this camera. Is it more than the 5D MK IV? No, but still it has (45) of them and they are cross-type. I would have preferred that they were not so clustered together, and that Canon would have spread them out more over the viewing area, but still a huge much needed and welcome step up. There is a considerable bump in image size from 20.6 to 26.2 but nothing to get overly excited about there. There are complaints from a lot of pro reviewers and and tech outlets that the 6D Mk II has a very limited dynamic range. Well, if it does I am not seeing it. I put the camera to the test with some low key lighting setups right out of the gate, and it has not disappointed me yet. There are a couple of sample images attached for review. So, unless you are shooting in some horrendous conditions and you don’t know how to compensate, I really don’t think Dynamic range should be too much of a concern. I was also wanting more FPS (frames per second), and this MkII doubles that compared to the 6D. Up from 3 FPS to 6.5 FPS. So great improvement there. Lots of complaints and hemming and hawing about the lack of 4k video capability on this camera as well….. BIG DEAL! Its made to be a feature limited full frame pro-am camera anyways… what did you expect? On the plus side Canon did give us auto focus tracking on the Mk II which they did not have on the 6D Mk I. So when you do decide to shoot some video the auto focus automatically tracks your subject without you having to manually refocus all the time. The flip out screen I was on the fence about, but I like it for a couple of reasons. One, you can flip it over when the camera isn’t in use to protect the screen from getting all scratched up. Two, it’s kinda handy when shooting at extremely awkward angles. The touch screen I don’t really care for. I could do without it, but it is nice to be able to jump to a completely different part of the in camera menu without having to scroll through all of the headers to get where you want. There are a couple of the things that are annoying me at present. I can’t get this camera to auto rotate my images. I don’t mind turning the camera to the side to see my portrait images full screen. I just wish it would do that itself. My bigger issue is Canon felt the need to over complicate HSS (High Speed Sync) on this camera body. It should just work. I use HSS capable off camera studio strobes, but the HSS feature doesn’t work for some reason. It works fine on my original 6D MK I, but on the Mk II I need to setup HSS on the in camera menu, and I keep getting an error message saying that my flash is not compatible even though it is listed as a compatible device. So maybe an update on that later.
In closing, this camera is a beast of an upgrade if you are coming from a 6D MK I or lower. If you are contemplating spending some extra cheddar on the 5D MK IV, consider the following….
All you are really getting for that $1600 is 4k video capability, 20 more auto focus point that are more spread out, slightly better dynamic range, 1.5 FPS faster continuous shooting, and a small resolution bump.
If that’s worth $1600.00 then go for that big rig and tear it up, but if not this camera is definitely suited for professional and by no means should be considered and “entry level camera for beginners”.

I upgraded two weeks ago, from a Canon 70D to the 6D Mk II and could not be happier. The AF in low light along with the superb full frame CMOS sensor delivers a noticeable enough difference in image quality and depth to justify the purchase. This was my first venture into the full frame line up and it has allowed me to be much more creative in low light close quarters without seeing any real noise. The only drawback for me is the 6.5 fps as I do a lot of fast action, thus, a slightly slimmer chance of framing the “perfect” shot. Perfectly accepted as a tradeoff. I am anxious to try out the 4K video time lapse feature. I have attached two pictures that were taken at night in normal room low lighting. Details are on the pictures.

I upgraded from the 70D, which was an excellent camera, to my first full frame and the results are amazing. It handles the low light / high iso noise incredibly well. Both of the pictures below were shot with the Canon 6D Mk II and a Canon 70-200mm f2.8L using only dim room lighting. No flash. Judge for yourself. I am very impressed and pleased with my purchase. I could not pull these off with the 70D.

Great buy, on the fly! My canon 6d stopped working and I needed a workhorse to replace it at a reasonable cost..THIS IS IT!! love the touch screen feature I’ve already adjusted to the awesomeness of this camera!!

I just received my 6D II yesterday. I am impressed, to say the least. However, when I saw the thickness of the owner’s manual I almost had heart failure! It’s over an inch thick! But…it’s in three languages so that explained a lot. *Whew* I immediately charged the battery and took some test shots. Totally impressed. The experts may not be too crazy about the 6D II but I am! I upgraded from my trusty 40D and I am not sorry I did. I use two L series lenses: 24-70 f/2.8 and a 70-200 f/2.8. The 6D II will make those lenses shine even more.
The attached images were taken with the 6D II with the Canon 24-70mm f/2.8 L lens-hand held with only available lighting. Aperture priority setting and auto ISO. RAW converted to .jpg with Photoshop Lightroom.
TAKE NOTE!: RAW images taken with cameras manufactured after 12/2017 are no longer compatible with most older Apps and/or programs. My LR 4.0 could not read the RAW images taken by the 6D II. You will/may need to upgrade. I had to forsake my trusty LR 4.0 and became a paying member of Adobe’s Creative Cloud family. I chose to download just Lightroom. $9.99/month plus applicable taxes. There are some work-arounds but I chose to simply upgrade.
For some, not having 4K video may be an issue. Did not matter to me as I seldom use video.
This WILL be a great upgrade to an enthusiast’s full-frame. I still have lots to read and learn about the 6D II so I just may be adding to this review. Enjoy!!

I’ve been a Canon shooter for many years and have had many Canon bodies including the original 6D. The 6D Mark II is clearly a worthy upgrade over the 6D. I’ve read many so-so reviews on the Mark II, but I think many of these reviewers have unrealistic expectations. The Mark II is an entry level full-frame camera, but has many very worthwhile features for the enthusiast. I’ve had the Mark II about a month and the still photos that I’ve taken are stunning. It’s a fun camera that is capable of producing great results. If you need a 4K video and/or dual card slots then the 6D Mark II is not for you. I also have a 5D Mark III and 7D Mark II and I can say that the image quality is as good as or better than either of those bodies.

Switched from Canon 70D to this full frame and it has been amazing! Great picture quality! Great in low light.

Absolutely love this camera I upgraded to this from a Rebel T6 and the difference is unreal. This is a great lower priced high quality camera.
