What to watch next: Build the perfect camera RIG for Canon R6 Mark II: th-cam.com/video/voS6WqrjbBg/w-d-xo.html Camera CAGE comparison for Canon R6 Mark II: th-cam.com/video/pI5RKopLcKY/w-d-xo.html
Frankly, it seems disingenuous to complain about something that you knew about the camera before you bought it. Sure, it would be great if Canon included these and other accessories with the camera. But complaining because they didn't and saying they were "missing"? Nope. They weren't missing. You just wish they were included. Big difference.
I respect your opinion. However, I mentioned in the first seconds that they are not REALLY missing, it was more like a metaphor. I think people will understand what I truly meant to say.
I guess it was their way to encourage people to go for the RF line as they have been selling the cameras without adapters for a while, even if you buy an R these days the adapter will not be included, btw the R6 mark ii box also misses the usb-c to usb-c cable
If it was included with the camera and you already have the adapter (like me) you'd be paying for an unnecessary accessory. It would ONLY be a good idea to include it for first time mirrorless camera buyers and it's likely the R6 Mark II is an upgrade within the "R" series of Canon bodies. It would also be a total waste for those first time mirrorless buyers who never had any EF or EF-S lenses to adapt to the new mirrorless R mount.
That's a good point, but I sometimes use 2 cameras in the same time to shoot video scenes. Having 2 mirrorless cameras, I would appreciate having 2 adapters as well, in case I want to use EF glass.
You're a great storyteller 😆 I think I've never watched such an interesting unboxing full of information, taking time, giving information, background comparison, smartly requesting interaction in comments Faaaar far from hurry-to-finish unboxings we're used to in TH-cam
its ok to buy adapter separately. but the main thing is canon must do is that let the third party manufactures to make RF lenses. because without them i don't think canon will survive this mirrorless battle.
Not including these things is actually better for the environment, because the vast majority will never use these accessories. The adapter thing also puts the user towards either going for the RF lenses which there are plenty of or in case with pros who already have the adapters they need. R6 mk2 is their third wave of mirrorless cameras. We had plenty of time to get all we need and it's extremely affordable and capable for the money.
I see and respect your point. I think there are many Canon users that would appreciate a cable clamp, because pros use external monitors. At least a cable clamp… 😄
I upgraded from Canon R so I already had the adaptor. My concern when unboxing was the noise the camera made from the internal image stabiliser when the camera is off.
I feel you about that sound. It's from the IBIS and it's nothing to worry about. So I assume the other issue regarding the cable clamp doesn't affect you, right?
This video had the information I needed. I'm not surprised about the EF-to-RF adapter, but I am surprised about the HDMI support. I'm coming from the R as well and I'm researching cameras to recommend for someone to use for a long format (2-3 hours) portable setup. I'm disappointed about the HDMI connector being smaller and un-supported. I think they will not be using external monitors on day 1, but I'm looking for a solution they can grow with and this is a real shame.
Watch this video because I show the solution for the small HDMI port. You basically need a cage and a cable clamp: th-cam.com/video/voS6WqrjbBg/w-d-xo.html
I would rather not waste money and resources on something I would not need. Most people use cages with external monitors. And if someone uses all RF lenses, he doesn't need the adapter, but he would ultimately pay for it. Nothing comes free.
Agree, nothing comes free of charge. However, there is a specific type of users, usually 40-50 old, who are more conservative and they want to stick to their old EF lenses, but still try a mirrorless camera. That adapter could make a huge impact for them if it comes right in the box. Someone commented on this video earlier saying that after buying the Canon R10, the adapter was in the box. Weird...
Canon can't even be bothered to give you a lens hood unless you're buying an L series lens and you think they'd consider still throwing an adapter into the camera box? I agree it would be excellent, but at best i could see them do that as some sort of bundle deal where you get other accessories in the box too for a mark-up.
Yes, you can use EF-S lenses with the Canon R6 II for filming in 4K. However, there will be a crop factor when using EF-S lenses on a full-frame camera like the R6 II. This means that the image will be cropped, and you will not be able to use the full sensor. The crop factor for EF-S lenses on the R6 II is 1.6x
It depends on who you buy the camera from with what is included in the box. Even the Canon R5 has the micro-HDMI cable...I'm not a video person, so I don't plan to use it that much or at all...
@VideoMakerTwist I already had adapters. The vendors that I saw including adapters in the box were in Asian and European countries. You can see it in the unboxing videos here on TH-cam.
For info Apple doesn't do that in Europe, like in France, their Iphone 12 to 15 sold with cable, charger and other accessories; because France government does not allow any compony do that.
Good video my brother! I agree with you about the adapter. It's nice to find useful things in the box. And about the HDMI port 🤣🤣🤣 next camera will have a MICRO VGA maybe 🤣🤣🤣I don't understand this strategy, but... business is business :) PS: I like the vibe of this video :)
Thanks! I dream about a camera that uses integrated wireless video transmission to a monitor using foldable antennas placed where the hot shoe is. I think this could happen in the next 5 years and we can throw away the cables. Can't wait! :)
From Canon's viewpoint, by not including the R to EF adapter in the box, this would encourage people to buy RF lenses. Also, now in Dec. 2024, they have reduced the R6ii by $500 less, so even less room to include an adapter. Canon needs the price of an R adapter as separate purchase. Just know, that the Nikon Z adapter to older FX lens is about 3 times more money than an R adapter, so Canon buyers have it better. All these companies want to sell more new lenses so why include it? A cable clamp would have been useful though to include.

This is not a beginner camera so they expect you to be past ef lenses. Just sayn. I do agree on the hdmi tho
hi, one correction, the battery is LPE6 N H

@@VideoMakerTwist Imagine how many adapters would end up as waste that way. If you need something you buy it. You pay for it either way.

Yeah, your argument makes sense. True!
Agree with you con the cable thing
I agree with you and also they use to include the USB cable
I forgot about that, true! Did you also experience the same thing? Do you have the R6 II?
@@VideoMakerTwist I bought the R8 and it came plain. I bought a refurbished EOS R and came with all the stuff you mentioned
Hey, Thanks, perfect unboxing-colleague.
Did your R6ii rattle when you unboxed it? Mine did. And I'm thinking of sending it back!
That is the IBIS (image stabilization system) on the sensor. It's perfectly normal to hear a sound when you shake the camera.
💯 agree with you
So I'm not the only one who complains.
totally agree 👍
love u brother from pakistan
