Blazing shooting speed
Delivering a blistering burst rate of up to 40fps with its silent electronic shutter, the Canon EOS R6 Mark II doubles the 20fps burst rate of the EOS R6, with full autofocus and autoexposure capability. The communication speed and data bandwidth of the RF mount allows the Canon R6 Mark II to adjust the focus at these eye-watering frame rates.
Upgraded video capabilities
At first glance, the Canon R6 Mark II and R6 have similar video capabilities. Both can record at up to 4K 60p, for instance, and they offer Canon Log and HDR PQ to capture more dynamic range. Dive a bit deeper, however, and it's clear the new camera's video recording options are significantly upgraded.
Small changes, big improvements
Beyond the key shooting functions, the Canon R6 Mark II has a vast range of small but significant improvements. Although EOS R6 users will feel instantly at home with the new camera, handling has been streamlined. The on/off switch is now next to the shutter button, so it's easier to activate the camera single-handed. For added convenience, the photo and video mode selector has been moved to the left side of the camera, similar to its position on the EOS R5 C.
Leading image stabilisation (IS)
The Canon R6 Mark II inherits its predecessor the EOS R6's class-leading In-Body Image Stabilisation (IBIS). Capable of providing up to 8-stops of image stabilisation, it counteracts the effects of camera shake to produce sharper images. It works in a coordinated way with lenses that have built-in optical IS, and brings the benefits of stabilisation to
lenses that don't have optical IS.
The IBIS can help achieve sharper images through improved AF accuracy too. Having a more stable image makes it easier to keep the active AF point locked on the subject - particularly at the high frame rates that the Canon R6 Mark II hits.
