Canon EOS R6 Mark II First Look
The second iteration of the incredibly popular EOS R6 is here; the Canon EOS R6 Mark II. Fast, sharp & adaptable, this camera is perfect for photographers and videographers of every level.
We got to go see this camera first-hand ahead of its launch on the 2nd November 22 and spoke to product specialist Mehdia Mehtal who took us through all the specs that make us swoon over this new camera.

What's new in the R6 Mark II?The Mark II version sees a whole host of improvements that raise the bar of hybrid shooting. It breaks barriers with the speed at which it can take photos, with an incredibly fast 40 frames per second silent electronic shutter (2x faster than the R6) making it the fastest camera in its class of mid-pro cameras. The camera also has a brand new 24.2 megapixel CMOS sensor which is 20% larger than the R6, ensuring that the quality of the images matches the epic environment the shots are being taken in. New autofocus-detect modes include Horse AI recognition, the first camera to do so in this range, as well as Detect Only movie servo AF mode which holds the focus on your selected subject whether they are in the frame or not.
