The Canon R6 Mark II Camera announced by Canon with the same sensor as we have seen in the Canon EOS R3 camera and the image processor is also the same, so those who were not able to buy the Canon EOS R3 camera due to its high price, they can have the R6 Mark II. Or it’s better to say finally we have a budget Canon EOS R3 Model in front of us.
The Canon R6 Mark II features 4779 selectable AF points, the AF point further divided into AF Zones to make the user selection process easy. Using the same deep-learning AI technology we applied to the EOS R5, R6, and Canon EOS R3, the Canon EOS R6 AF performance is of the next level. The camera recognizes people, animals, and now motorsport vehicles. Hundreds of thousands of images from different photographers and agencies have been used to teach the camera exactly what the real world looks like – and how it moves. Subject tracking is now supported for all AF area settings.
The Camera records oversampled high-quality 4K 60FPS video, and with an advanced heat sink unit, the camera never disappoints you despite the adverse weather conditions you have. Professional content creators or Cinematographers can also enjoy the in-built 7.5 Stops of IBIS and when paired with Lenses like 24mm IS STM and 35mm IS STM, you will get a total IS of 8 Stops.
Canon R6 is a perfect camera for sports, landscape, wedding photographers, cinematographers, and content creators.
