The Canon EOS R6 Mark II is the follow-up to 2020's Canon EOS R6. This mid-cycle refresh has a few notable upgrades, including a higher-resolution sensor and EVF, along with an updated autofocus system with better tracking and detection algorithms. Canon's also addressed some of the minor drawbacks of the original R6 for advanced video work, with uncropped 4k video, no recording time limit, and better heat management to prevent overheating during long recording sessions. While these changes may not be enough to warrant an upgrade if you already own the R6, they're thoughtful improvements that make an already amazing camera even better.
