The honesty and nonscripted content is so appreciated. It shows you're true emotion on this camera. I've been on the edge of upgrading to full frame for awhile and this camera is going to be my upgrade. I shoot video and pictures and I needed something that could do bot extremely well. Thank you
Only watched a few of your videos so far, but I've been very impressed. Not only are you super talented as a photographer, but you touch on everything I'm interested in and keep it practical without ignoring the facts.
Hey Manny, love your stuff, as always. Just wanted to point out (if it hasn't been done so already) that with Electronic Shutter on the EOS R6 Mark II, you CAN get shutter speeds to 1/16,000th second, in Manual or shutter-priority (Tv) modes. The photographer has to set this him-/herself, and the jump from the normal top speed of 1/8000th sec in this case is a full-stop increment -- fractional 1/3 or 1/2 stops aren't available between 1/8000 and 1/16,000th. The camera itself cannot automatically set this 1/16,000th shutter speed in P or Av exposure mode; it's only when the user opts for it in M or Tv modes. And, nothing has to be unlocked (so to speak) within the menus to make it happen... just set the 1/16,000th as you would any other shutter speed, as long as you're in M or Tv mode. Enjoying the review -- hope you and the ladies had a great time trick-or-treating!
I've been following you for a long time and yes, your opinion matters the most to me than the technical guys' opinion does. Because you take the kind of pictures I want to be taking. I also enjoy birding and that's a totally different beast but thank you for all you do Manny! You are an incredible photographer! I love how your family made you leave though and just have fun. Pretty cool that you can do that and come back the next day and finish it up. Tells me you are a great guy who puts his family first. Blessings
Watched all the other usual big name camera channels on the R6 Mkii, before seeing your review, and I have to say, yours was one of the most enjoyable and down to earth to watch. I'm not sure what you are like when you are on script, but I really liked the off the cuff nature of this preview, as that was what made it feel so easy and enjoyable to watch IMO. In other words, it felt like less of a spec sheet readout like some other chanels work around, and focused more on the real world experiences/improvements, which I think is what many of us probably want to know at the end of the day. Anyway, just wanted to mention that. Keep up the good work mate! 🙂👍
killed it bro…. this is the one I’ve been waiting for - your testing really put it through its paces, situations that would be tough for any camera to be able to come away with clean and usable shots, and still be a video monster with that 180 FPS….. GET YOU ONE THAT CAN DO BOTH…. in my opinion, this is it. Appreciate your comprehensive review and your ability to remain impartial. 🍺🍺
I appreciate what you do. Enjoy your videos and admire your work. I appreciate your humility and saying that you didn't think you were there. Compared to Jarrett and some of the other guys. But you're doing your thing, keep up the great work. Keep making content and share your experience with these amazing cameras.
I have been watching your videos more than an year now and never expect you to make a random videos to fill your playlist, love the way you are doing man. keep being honest to your contents, that's all required in this biased youtube world 🙌
To me, the 40fps is an advantage, but not as significant as pre-buffering. Even with my Sony a1, I often wished that I could have pressed the shutter just 0.5s sooner.
Great video! I love my R6 Mark II. You can use 3rd party EF mount lenses with the adapter. I use to use a 5D Mark II DSLR for 15 years now and finally made the leap. It was nice knowing I didn't have to get rid of my EF mount lenses and start over with the RF mount.
Your videos have been legit…. You covered all the bases on this one, you know what we want to hear in respect to the camera and comparing it to the Sony….. plus your videos feel genuine because you have your family in this one for example doing the halloween spirit thing…
I have a few thousand in Canon EF lenses. Was deciding between the Sony A7IV and the R6 Mark 1. Decided on switching to Sony because the R6 overheated, had a 30 minute time limit, and a few other things. It came in yesterday... Seems like it was fixed and now I have to decide whether I return the A7IV or not for the R6 Mark II
So interesting; I was not really expecting this standpoint from such a hardcore Sony user. But you do shoot many manufactures and so it’s a refreshing perspective you provided. I have one sitting on my counter unopened trying to decide if I should keep it and return for a R5. Or keep it. This gave me a lot to chew on - appreciate the review!
@@BirekothAlephMotivationwent with the R6 mark ii - haven’t looked back very very capable and the video is amazing as well as the stills. I have been shooting for more than 15 years and this was more a platform change issue after I was able to sort my concerns. Very happy with the camera.
@@phillipornelas3348ahhhh lovely. I'm currently in the process of getting rid of my EOS R and looking into this camera also. Thought about that R5, but this seems to be the stickiest yet for the autofocus at this price point.

Thank you for your honest opinion. If there is no certain reason I will not go back to Canon for a long time. No 3rd party is a deal-breaker for me no matter how good the body is. I started with a Canon 850 22 years ago and it is sad to switch.

I am/was in the same boat. With Canon EF I used to be an "L" snob but the RF line is just way too expensive AND heavy, I couldn't find a reason to stay with Canon anymore. 3d party brands have evolved so much in quality (optically and build) that the RF prices are just crazy. I swtiched to Sony, I hate the A7-mkIV body (cheaper, wrong button placement etc.) but the lenses are so much cheaper and lighter I am sticking with it.
@@darkyduck yea same, I have an A7IV now and it's nowhere near as good as a R or R5 to hold, Sony cameras are slowly getting bigger as they have realised people mostly want comfort over size, the lenses on the E mount are great now and Canon won't get a big following in the future if they don't open up to 3rd party
Great video man as usual. I like the netty gritty details from let's say Gerald, but i love your real world use/point of view. It help me so many times, specially with lenses.
Any word if any of the 1080p modes are oversampled? 1080p quality has been getting badly ignored by everybody lately. Storage is expensive, let's see some optimized 1080p as an option too!
Manny, wouldn't the R6 & the EF lens converter be an option to combat the price of the R lenses? I've heard that the lens converter works amazingly well so the EF lenses perform brilliantly
I think I'll save up for this, I have watched you for years now and coming back, your content and production has gotten so good. Thanks for the great review man!
OMGoodness shooting with an Atomos Ninja (or any recorder) attached is a PHENOMENAL way to get across what is happening with a camera and photography.

But it also really helps us see how photographers frame their shots, make adjustments and all sorts of stuff.
Great video! The best part is you making your family a priority. You’re a good father. Stayed till the end and value your opinion because you shoot and shoot well! W.C.R.T.
I love the Tamron 70-180 F2.8 lens too much to switch. Totally agree with you, unless more third party lenses are offered on the Canon, I'm much less likely to switch systems.
They won't. Canon is actually blocking existing released af 3rd party lenses on their cameras. That is the main reason why Canon doesn't make sense for those who do not earn money so they cannot get the return on the insanely high investment. Yeah, the new 135 1.8 is cool and has IS, but new Samyang exists for 1/3 of the price.
@@TigaWould yeah, it's really cool that EF lenses are really well adapted, but I would still rather use awesome Samyangs, Sigmas and others. None of the old EF lenses come even close to the newly developed ones.
The nice thing is that the EF adapter works so well, the lenses work better adapted on the mirrorless system than they did on the DSLRs... they work on par with the new RF lenses. In fact, lenses like the Sigma 50mm 1.4 adapted is still smaller and lighter than the RF 50mm 1.2, even with the adapter, and the AF and sharpness is almost 99% as good as the RF version, for 1/3 the price.

The Sigma 14-24 2.8 is 99% as good as the new RF ultra wides (better than some) and is much, much cheaper and comes with a 7 year warranty vs Canon's 1 year.
@@77dris I think you misunderstood me. I meant just the optics, not the autofocus. I'm very well aware that ironically you need a Canon mirrorless body to get 100% performance out of dlsr lenses. In regards to what I was talking earlier just take a look at recent Sigma 85/1.4 DG DN(the ~600g one). I would pick it over 85/1.2 due to half the size. There is nothing for Canon if you want more flexibility, either the best, heavy, expensive lenses or something dark and cheap-ish, or something VERY old from EF.
Looks as good as my R7s tracking and focus. It's always been rock solid, even at a distance or chasing birds through trees. Safe to say the R3 tracking has been passed down to all the newer models of Canon cameras. R10, R7, and now R6.
you are one of a few youtubers that I believe when it comes to reviews and even though I don't have the money to buy it I watched the whole video hahah maybe I can help some else decide
Manny, thank you for a thorough and high integrity review. I’ve been a Canon shooter for years and they have frustrated me to no end by the cripple hammer. Lol. For the first time I feel like they have created a mirrorless camera that exceeds its price point. I have the mark 1 version of the R6 and the R5. I will definitely be letting go of my R6 mark 1 to get the mark 2.
@@Burritosarebetterthantacos My R6 is and has been a frustrating camera since day 1. I shoot wedding photos and video almost exclusively. The R6 STILL overheats after the last 2 years of firmware updates. STILL! As a photo camera it’s very good. But when I use it as a video camera… no bueno. I’ll happily get rid of my R6 to get no overheating (or significantly less), no 30 minute time limit, better autofocus, custom modes for video and a few more megapixels on my photos. Happily.
I'm confused basically I have plan of getting R6 mark 2 just 4 months used with RF 24-105 4L and RF 100 2.8 + 256 GB card 300MB/s In 3465 USD. On the other hand R5mark2 is 4265 USD. I also don't have any lens. There are 2 options first is buy the 2 lens with R62 or 2nd option is R52 with Rf50 1.8... later on I'll upgrade my lens 24-105.. is it worth to sacrifice more money. I want 4,5 years future safe. If you're in my place what you'll do?? Is it good offer or suggest me any other option!! I don't have any gear now .. I used to have 5dmark3 in 2016... But I changed my field as currently working in the restaurant business industry. I want to target small restaurants and small businesses for social media and products photography, as I have planned to give free 30 sec, 1 min reels for Snapchat, tiktok and Instagram. Just to build my portfolio on Instagram and other platforms. Plus I'll do street photography as I'm living an expat in Saudi Arabia. I belong to Pakistan.
Plan to pickup the Canon R6 Mk ii today. Currently shoot with an A7IV. I’ve truly enjoyed the Sony but I have to give the Canon a try. I don’t LOVE the colors from the Sony but they aren’t bad. I can’t put my finger on it but many of my landscape shots, especially in cloudy conditions just don’t have the colors I like with the Sony. Don’t get me wrong.. have taken outdoor shots of family/pets and gotten amazing colors from the Sony.. I’ve never truly tried a Canon and I think I have to. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
The battery power is so true. I was worried about the battery life cause I switched from 5D3 to R62, but it turns out that if the airplane mode is on, one battery can easily hold up to 2000 shutter releases. I think how long the mirrorless camera battery can hold is depends on how long the camera is on (then the screen and the EVF is constantly using the power), instead of how many shutter was fired.
I like this as i'm looking at the a7iv and tbh i'd be so torn if i wasn't so invested in the sony e mount (esp the 3rd party lens selection). It's great to see what else is out there and I can see each system has it's advantages. Great work again Manny!
I had this debate days and months - ended up going with the Sony A7 IV because of the lenses. Might switch back to canon down the line, but they need to understand how many customers they're losing by prohibiting 3rd party lenses.
@@ErosZilean Ya I just started selling ALL my Canon gear including my R6 and the 4 lens I had, to go get a Sony A7IV even if I've been with Canon since 13 years but they're just being complete assholes and I ain't gonna support that anymore.
Great review, I'm still on canon 1DX, you are paying for the new autofocusing technology here, which is well worth it from a convenience point of view as a photographer, as I'm not a videographer. Your review was thorough with regard to the focussing and I've been waiting for the 135Lwith IS - my existing 135L is my favourite lens.
All good and great in San Diego with plenty of light and relatively steady subjects apart from bmx. Try to take that camera in to the Irish Forest in april to shot some Downhill or Enduro when its raining and f1.4 lens might be your only option.
Excellent review very appreciated, even if it’s not the same category of price what do you think versus Sony A7R V ? I’ve got the Sony A7R IV wondering to change it even if the 61 mpx are fantastic in my opinion. Thank you.
You are saving my sanity! I want the color of Canon, and will do some beach portraits for supplemental income, but mainly clouds landscapes.,ocean No video. Which Canon do you recommend? I do not want a digital look to photograph thunderheads nor portraits.
Great video as always and yes your opinion is welcomed and valued. I'm a small business owner (my wife, son and I) and I picked up the R6. Should I keep that or grab the mark ii in January when it's released? I appreciate any input. Pictures will be product shots, videos of the process. My son highschool sports and of course date night 😁
Excellent as always! I just found you a recently but I’m already at the point of when you put out a video about anything I’m clicking! Gerald undone is where I go to get the ultimate technical specs but as soon as I have those I come to guys like you that are going to real world the hell out of it! Thank you!
@@nvpfilmsllc234 I got the r6mkii and do not regret it. If i had to choose between the 2 now since the r5 is significantly cheaper, it'd be a tougher decision. But I'd probly wait to see what the r5mkii has to offer coming later this year i believe. When that comes out, I'm sure these 2 options will be even cheaper
Been following you for some time. Great analysis on the Canon R6 Mark II. Paired with the RF 24-70mm f/2.8L lens it is fantastic. It's pretty spot on when it comes to eye and face detection.
I have the R6 MKII and the only RF lens that I have is the 35mm 1.8 IS STM. I am sticking to my EF - L seiries lenses. There is not much difference between the EF and RF. In fact, I think EF L lenses have better build quality. They produce stunning images and to be honest, I am not paying over £2,000.00 - £3,000.00 quid for a single RF lens. My advice for anyone wanting to use Canon is to buy the EF L series glass instead. For instance, EF - L 16-35mm F/4.00 IS USM glass will cost yah less than £1,000.00. This is a fair price for a wide-angle lens. Whereas the RF L lenses are a rip-off considering you could get native performance and save money with the EF glass.
I have EF 35,50,85 L series. I have aslo RF. When you buy RF, you will understand the huge difference. IF you are a pro, F2.8 matters and F1.4 matters much more, compared to F.4.
First let me tell you: nice video mate! Very helpful, as always. IMHO both A7 IV and R6 MII are beasts! You can't go wrong with neither one and sure if we look at the specs, at least on paper, R6 MII is ahead. But, for me and atm, I cannot go with canon. Not while they keep up this policy about third party lenses and for what I can find we won’t see Third-Party RF-Mount Lenses until late 2024 (rumor), and for me that's way too late. During this last BF I went with a pretty good deal in for the sony a7 IV (at least in europe): - A7 IV Body (New), 3 year warranty by the manufactor and 5 years guarantee by the store - 2350€ (VAT included) I already bought a Laowa Macro lens because I need it to work, but i'm already looking to some other lenses to feed my hobby (Tamron, Sigma, Samyang, Sony, etc)
Really liked the objectiveness of the video. Although I‘m not getting an R6 II, I like to see where Canon is going. I just wanted to add that the R3 supports up to 195 fps uncompressed raw continuous since the update in summer, so no, the R6 II is NOT faster 😄 I‘ve actually used it a few times and it is not as silly as many may think 😂
Great review!! Does it remember faces? If my subject is dancing in a group of people, can it remember to keep only my subject in focus at all times? And how would I set this up? Thanks.
Hello to everyone ! tanks for your all videos Manny coz I like your style. I have a question for you all ... for wedding photography which camera is better for me btw those two ??? thanks guys
I love hearing your opinion on these things and all things photography. It's kind of a dream to run into you the few times I make it up to that area just to be able to tell you in person how much you have helped me further my carrier and passion in photography.
Good morning Manny, I like watching your video’s on camera gear as your very honest in evaluating what your testing whether it be camera bodies, or lenses. I’m a wildlife photographer and landscapes as well but mostly wildlife. I’m 73 yrs young, and I just love going out and shooting different species be it animal or bird. I’ve been interested in the Canon R6ii since it has come out. I presently own the Canon 90D & Sigma 150-600 C lens for wildlife. I am on a budget so very interested in what you think of the R6ii for wildlife at 24 mp’s. As the Canon 90D has 32 and it’s a crop frame camera I do get that extra reach. Would prefer a 30 or 32 mp full frame camera just so I can crop in a little more. Just not sure if 24 mp’s will help me if I do have to crop my image. The dynamic range on a full frame surely outways a crop frame camera as well as speed too. I know there is a R6 iii coming and a R7 ii as well but not till next year. I know I will need new glass for witch ever mirrorless camera I buy but they also sell an adapter for my EF lenses that I already have. Interested in hearing what your thoughts would on what you think this would bring for me if I should buy or wait. All the best to you in your endeavours Brian

The nice thing is that the EF adapter works so well, the lenses work better adapted on the mirrorless system than they did on the DSLRs... they work on par with the new RF lenses. In fact, lenses like the Sigma 50mm 1.4 adapted is still smaller and lighter than the RF 50mm 1.2, even with the adapter, and the AF and sharpness is almost 99% as good as the RF version, for 1/3 the price.

The Sigma 14-24 2.8 is 99% as good as the new RF ultra wides (better than some) and is much, much cheaper and comes with a 7 year warranty vs Canon's 1 year.
@@77dris I think you misunderstood me. I meant just the optics, not the autofocus. I'm very well aware that ironically you need a Canon mirrorless body to get 100% performance out of dlsr lenses.
In regards to what I was talking earlier just take a look at recent Sigma 85/1.4 DG DN(the ~600g one). I would pick it over 85/1.2 due to half the size.
There is nothing for Canon if you want more flexibility, either the best, heavy, expensive lenses or something dark and cheap-ish, or something VERY old from EF.
Great video man!! Even without a script 🎉 Definitely wanted to hear your thoughts on this camera since you use all brands. Thanks for this! 🙌🏼
Love this Videostile, without script. Please do that more often.
Looks as good as my R7s tracking and focus. It's always been rock solid, even at a distance or chasing birds through trees. Safe to say the R3 tracking has been passed down to all the newer models of Canon cameras. R10, R7, and now R6.
If you want to buy a new hybrid camera between an R5 or the new R6 mark ii , which one would you buy ? Thanks
You are the coolest care bear in the biz.
CANON is KING! Always has been! 💪
you are one of a few youtubers that I believe when it comes to reviews and even though I don't have the money to buy it I watched the whole video hahah maybe I can help some else decide
We don't care if you script, we love that you always keep it 100!
Manny, thank you for a thorough and high integrity review. I’ve been a Canon shooter for years and they have frustrated me to no end by the cripple hammer. Lol. For the first time I feel like they have created a mirrorless camera that exceeds its price point. I have the mark 1 version of the R6 and the R5. I will definitely be letting go of my R6 mark 1 to get the mark 2.
You have an r6 and an r5 and your still looking for cameras😂
@@Burritosarebetterthantacos My R6 is and has been a frustrating camera since day 1. I shoot wedding photos and video almost exclusively. The R6 STILL overheats after the last 2 years of firmware updates. STILL!
As a photo camera it’s very good. But when I use it as a video camera… no bueno. I’ll happily get rid of my R6 to get no overheating (or significantly less), no 30 minute time limit, better autofocus, custom modes for video and a few more megapixels on my photos. Happily.
I'm confused basically I have plan of getting R6 mark 2
just 4 months used with RF 24-105 4L and RF 100 2.8 + 256 GB card 300MB/s
In 3465 USD. On the other hand R5mark2 is 4265 USD. I also don't have any lens.
There are 2 options first is buy the 2 lens with R62 or
2nd option is R52 with Rf50 1.8... later on I'll upgrade my lens 24-105.. is it worth to sacrifice more money. I want 4,5 years future safe. If you're in my place what you'll do??
Is it good offer or suggest me any other option!!
I don't have any gear now .. I used to have 5dmark3 in 2016... But I changed my field as currently working in the restaurant business industry. I want to target small restaurants and small businesses for social media and products photography, as I have planned to give free 30 sec, 1 min reels for Snapchat, tiktok and Instagram. Just to build my portfolio on Instagram and other platforms. Plus I'll do street photography as I'm living an expat in Saudi Arabia. I belong to Pakistan.
@@iabdulhaseebLook at Canon refurbished, like new and with a warranty
Gr8 video brother, I enjoyed the fact that it wasn't scripted. Keep up the good work brother.
Manny I do value your opinion, you just helped me make my mind up. Your always on point as usual. May you stay blessed!!!
Thanks to you, I got R6 mark2 and it is my first camera ever in my life. Thank you for helping me that i chose one.
dont worry, this no script review video is amongst one of the best R6 review videos out there
Plan to pickup the Canon R6 Mk ii today. Currently shoot with an A7IV. I’ve truly enjoyed the Sony but I have to give the Canon a try. I don’t LOVE the colors from the Sony but they aren’t bad. I can’t put my finger on it but many of my landscape shots, especially in cloudy conditions just don’t have the colors I like with the Sony. Don’t get me wrong.. have taken outdoor shots of family/pets and gotten amazing colors from the Sony.. I’ve never truly tried a Canon and I think I have to. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
Your review is done SOOO well. Thanks for this.
Props on the BMX images 🔥.
This honest review of the Canon EOS 6 II and your HDMI capture of the AF workflow of this camera sold it to me. 😎
Great video. Also I want to see you and Jared in a buddy cop movie for some reason 😂
Fro knows Photo cameo 😮
I forgot which vid I was on for a second and went “Wait, I thought I just finished the fro vid”. Was wondering if he’d pop up in someone’s video lol
Could make it a drinking game of how many times he pops up.😂
It doesn't recognise him as a person... more like a blob
Wow, that's *4* rhymes compared tk the usual 3!
Fro knows fro-toe!
Another really great review. Care bear costume enhances it so much more 😁
So would you prefer this or the Canon R8 now?
You're presets must be the best I've ever seen...Definitely my style
The battery power is so true. I was worried about the battery life cause I switched from 5D3 to R62, but it turns out that if the airplane mode is on, one battery can easily hold up to 2000 shutter releases. I think how long the mirrorless camera battery can hold is depends on how long the camera is on (then the screen and the EVF is constantly using the power), instead of how many shutter was fired.
First time I watched one of your videos; I stayed until the end. Great. I subscribed.
Best review on the web!
Excellent review Manny, thank you!
Love this long form video. You should do it more this way!
I like this as i'm looking at the a7iv and tbh i'd be so torn if i wasn't so invested in the sony e mount (esp the 3rd party lens selection). It's great to see what else is out there and I can see each system has it's advantages. Great work again Manny!
Whats your opinion on a7iv overheating thing?
@@LorencCala mostly a non issue once you set the camera to high temp tolerance.
I had this debate days and months - ended up going with the Sony A7 IV because of the lenses. Might switch back to canon down the line, but they need to understand how many customers they're losing by prohibiting 3rd party lenses.
@@ErosZilean Ya I just started selling ALL my Canon gear including my R6 and the 4 lens I had, to go get a Sony A7IV even if I've been with Canon since 13 years but they're just being complete assholes and I ain't gonna support that anymore.
@@ErosZilean How is Sony A7iv in low light and high ISO performing shooting JPEG and video out camera without post processing?
Great video, Canon R6 shooter here and this is exactly what I needed to see 🙏🏽 gracias pana
Great review, I'm still on canon 1DX, you are paying for the new autofocusing technology here, which is well worth it from a convenience point of view as a photographer, as I'm not a videographer. Your review was thorough with regard to the focussing and I've been waiting for the 135Lwith IS - my existing 135L is my favourite lens.
All good and great in San Diego with plenty of light and relatively steady subjects apart from bmx. Try to take that camera in to the Irish Forest in april to shot some Downhill or Enduro when its raining and f1.4 lens might be your only option.
Always a pleasure watching your videos. Pls keep making more videos. We always learn new stuff. God bless.
The carebears are so funny 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂
I like that you know your niche and strengths. Thanks for the perspective!
Excellent review very appreciated, even if it’s not the same category of price what do you think versus Sony A7R V ? I’ve got the Sony A7R IV wondering to change it even if the 61 mpx are fantastic in my opinion. Thank you.
Great video, watched to the end and learned something.
You are saving my sanity! I want the color of Canon, and will do some beach portraits for supplemental income, but mainly clouds landscapes.,ocean No video. Which Canon do you recommend? I do not want a digital look to photograph thunderheads nor portraits.
Great video as always and yes your opinion is welcomed and valued. I'm a small business owner (my wife, son and I) and I picked up the R6. Should I keep that or grab the mark ii in January when it's released? I appreciate any input.
Pictures will be product shots, videos of the process. My son highschool sports and of course date night 😁
I have both R6 and R6 II. the upgrade really worths it
Excellent as always! I just found you a recently but I’m already at the point of when you put out a video about anything I’m clicking! Gerald undone is where I go to get the ultimate technical specs but as soon as I have those I come to guys like you that are going to real world the hell out of it! Thank you!
I've been on the fence for weeks about getting this cam or the r5. This video has helped. Thanks for the great info and visuals 💯
Which one did you get? I’m thinking about the R5
@@nvpfilmsllc234 I got the r6mkii and do not regret it. If i had to choose between the 2 now since the r5 is significantly cheaper, it'd be a tougher decision. But I'd probly wait to see what the r5mkii has to offer coming later this year i believe. When that comes out, I'm sure these 2 options will be even cheaper
Always appreciate the insights Manny! Thank you for keeping it real with us at the end
Been following you for some time. Great analysis on the Canon R6 Mark II. Paired with the RF 24-70mm f/2.8L lens it is fantastic. It's pretty spot on when it comes to eye and face detection.
Nice review! I like how you focus more on usability and any problems you came across more than just all the specs. That helps us more.
I have the R6 MKII and the only RF lens that I have is the 35mm 1.8 IS STM. I am sticking to my EF - L seiries lenses. There is not much difference between the EF and RF. In fact, I think EF L lenses have better build quality. They produce stunning images and to be honest, I am not paying over £2,000.00 - £3,000.00 quid for a single RF lens. My advice for anyone wanting to use Canon is to buy the EF L series glass instead. For instance, EF - L 16-35mm F/4.00 IS USM glass will cost yah less than £1,000.00. This is a fair price for a wide-angle lens. Whereas the RF L lenses are a rip-off considering you could get native performance and save money with the EF glass.
I have EF 35,50,85 L series. I have aslo RF. When you buy RF, you will understand the huge difference. IF you are a pro, F2.8 matters and F1.4 matters much more, compared to F.4.
First let me tell you: nice video mate! Very helpful, as always.
IMHO both A7 IV and R6 MII are beasts! You can't go wrong with neither one and sure if we look at the specs, at least on paper, R6 MII is ahead. But, for me and atm, I cannot go with canon. Not while they keep up this policy about third party lenses and for what I can find we won’t see Third-Party RF-Mount Lenses until late 2024 (rumor), and for me that's way too late. During this last BF I went with a pretty good deal in for the sony a7 IV (at least in europe):
- A7 IV Body (New), 3 year warranty by the manufactor and 5 years guarantee by the store - 2350€ (VAT included)
I already bought a Laowa Macro lens because I need it to work, but i'm already looking to some other lenses to feed my hobby (Tamron, Sigma, Samyang, Sony, etc)
I’m looking into switching to mirrorless and I think I’m gonna start with this camera. Great video 👍🏾
Quick question, if you had to choose between the R6 II and the R5, which would it be ?
6:30 that shot with the rainbows is just dope!
Really liked the objectiveness of the video. Although I‘m not getting an R6 II, I like to see where Canon is going. I just wanted to add that the R3 supports up to 195 fps uncompressed raw continuous since the update in summer, so no, the R6 II is NOT faster 😄 I‘ve actually used it a few times and it is not as silly as many may think 😂
195fps uncompressed raw? Uh no? Where did you hear that?
Great review!! Does it remember faces? If my subject is dancing in a group of people, can it remember to keep only my subject in focus at all times? And how would I set this up? Thanks.
Yep, your opinion matter, yours is the first video i watched about this cam' ! Enjoyed it xoxo
Dear TH-camrs aka “Specification readers” … take a look… that’s how a review should be made.
Great video. Great footage. Great Halloween suit and family fun! ❤️🔥🎉
Like always u do a fantastic job Manny!!!!
How do you compare the colors from the R6 Mark II to the R6, R5 or even R3
Thanks Manny. I loved the video and honest opinion. Your family is beautiful, btw
Hello to everyone ! tanks for your all videos Manny coz I like your style. I have a question for you all ... for wedding photography which camera is better for me btw those two ??? thanks guys
Should I buy the R6ii or A7iv?I know it's a random question, but I can't decide.
I'm a fan of this channel. Thank you
Great mention about the improved battery life! I don't think anybody else has mentioned that.
Thanks for your hard work, it's very appreciated. How's the low light compared to Nikon and Sony?
Manny...the last part...of still learning ...thats REAL. Love that honest comment! #Respect
Just bought the R6mk2 today! Thanks for the vid, helped in making the decision!
I love hearing your opinion on these things and all things photography. It's kind of a dream to run into you the few times I make it up to that area just to be able to tell you in person how much you have helped me further my carrier and passion in photography.
Good morning Manny, I like watching your video’s on camera gear as your very honest in evaluating what your testing whether it be camera bodies, or lenses. I’m a wildlife photographer and landscapes as well but mostly wildlife. I’m 73 yrs young, and I just love going out and shooting different species be it animal or bird. I’ve been interested in the Canon R6ii since it has come out. I presently own the Canon 90D & Sigma 150-600 C lens for wildlife. I am on a budget so very interested in what you think of the R6ii for wildlife at 24 mp’s. As the Canon 90D has 32 and it’s a crop frame camera I do get that extra reach. Would prefer a 30 or 32 mp full frame camera just so I can crop in a little more. Just not sure if 24 mp’s will help me if I do have to crop my image. The dynamic range on a full frame surely outways a crop frame camera as well as speed too. I know there is a R6 iii coming and a R7 ii as well but not till next year. I know I will need new glass for witch ever mirrorless camera I buy but they also sell an adapter for my EF lenses that I already have. Interested in hearing what your thoughts would on what you think this would bring for me if I should buy or wait.
All the best to you in your endeavours Brian
