According to our mirrorless camera expert
The Canon EOS R6 Mark II + EF-EOS R Adapter is a useful set for professional photographers. You can place the Canon EF(-S) lenses of your SLR camera on the camera without loss of image quality with the EF-EOS R adapter. That means that if you already have EF(-S) lenses, you don't have to get rid of them. So you can choose from many lenses, which makes the EOS R6 Mark II versatile. Thanks to its high speed, you can take sharp photos of fast actions. That's useful for sports photography. The camera has a large 24.2-megapixel image sensor and 7-stop image stabilization. This way, you can take sharp photos in dark conditions. You can record in 4K resolution at 60 fps. Thanks to oversampling, you can use 6K images to make extra detailed 4K recordings.
SpeedDon't miss a single action moment thanks to the high frame rates of this camera. The electronic shutter allows you to take up to 40 photos per second, while the mechanical shutter can reach up to 12 fps. Lock the autofocus to your subject and photograph fast-moving athletes or animals.
Autofocus with subject recognitionThe autofocus system recognizes many different subjects, like airplanes, people, and animals. It keeps moving subjects in focus, like a driving car. The camera predicts every movement of your subject, so the focus is very accurate.
Photographing in the darkYou can take photo with little noise in dark conditions thanks to the 24.2-megapixel sensor. The image stabilization prevents motion blur, so you can easily photograph and record handheld. It corrects up to 7-stop shutter speed, aperture, or ISO.

I think the Canon EOS R6 Mark II is a very user-friendly camera, which is suitable for novice to professional photographers. The camera excels in the autofocus system, which accurately follows subjects. The low weight makes it easy to take the camera with you, but my hands get tired quickly in combination with the heavy lens RF 24-105 mm f/4 lens that I use.
Familiar design I'm familiar with Canon cameras, so the design of the Canon EOS R6 Mark II feels familiar. As soon as I take it out of the box, I notice the low weight of the body. I can easily take this camera with me, so I walk into town. I use it with the RF 24-105mm f/4 lens and notice that my hands get tired quickly. With a light prime lens, you can easily take the camera with you for a whole day.
Accurate autofocus tracking The autofocus of this camera works very fast. In a busy shopping street he recognizes people, cars, trams and dogs. A big advantage is the autofocus tracking. This keeps a moving subject accurately and sharply in focus. When the cyclist I'm following disappears behind a tree, the camera focuses directly on her as she emerges from behind. You select a subject of your choice, but in busy places the camera sometimes switches too quickly to a different subject.
Speed The camera shoots very quickly at 40 frames per second. This allows me to capture every movement of passers-by. I shoot a running dog and don't miss any of the action, resulting in cute shots. The camera does not buffer quickly when I take many photos in a row.
Eye Detection The eye detection of this camera deserves extra attention, because it works very well. The camera automatically focuses on people's eyes, so I can quickly take portrait photos. The camera focuses on the closest eye. If you do not want this, you can indicate a preference for left or right in the settings.
Filming in 4K at 60 fps without crop I also easily make videos with this camera. I shoot these images in high 4K quality at 60 frames per second. An advantage is that the EOS R6 Mark II takes these images without a crop. Most cameras crop the image in this resolution, so you lose parts of your image. That is not the case with this camera, so I use the full image.

Very happy with my switch from EOS R to R6MII. The improved autofocus in particular was an important point for me. The automatic detection of people/animals/objects also works well. Eye detection is very convenient to use. No more 'sharp nose, blurry eyes'. The main thing, however, was the double SD slot. That is a must in my case. You can also shoot up to 40 images per second with the electronic shutter. In short: Full frame, lots of light, little noise, fast autofocus. I'm happy with it.
The housing could have been better in my opinion. Feels a bit cheap, but opinions differ. Despite the fact that I always use canon, the menu sometimes misleads me.
Example: For a function you have two options 'Enable' and 'Disable'. You come across the function in the menu and see 'Enable'..... Well... that is only possible if it is currently switched off, right? So no.. With Canon this means that the function is switched on. Even knowing this, it's still confusing.

The smart AI features allow a child to do the laundry. Eye tracking so that faces are always in focus is super useful. You rarely have a shot that is out of focus!
EF lenses + an adapter can save a lot of money, but the RF lenses are great in use and quality.
