Some cameras win on a headline spec. The Canon EOS R6 Mark II wins by not losing anywhere. It’s fast, it focuses brilliantly, it handles well and it shoots clean 4K at 60p from the full sensor. Since its launch in late 2022 it has been the camera Canon shooters point their friends to when they ask what to buy.

It also has a sequel now. The R6 Mark III arrived in late 2025. That makes the Mark II a discounted, proven body, and there’s a strong case that it’s the better buy for most people.
