Canon has now launched the new Canon EOS R6 Mark II full-frame mirrorless camera and it’s packed with some sporty improvements, aiming to raise the bar as a world beater in the ‘smaller fast camera’ class.
The Canon EOS R6 Mark II shoots twice as fast as the original EOS R6 (which is now discontinued in favour of the new model) and could well now be the best camera in the world for sports and wildlife photography enthusiasts.
However, you’d be forgiven for thinking surely the Canon EOS R6 can’t be redundant so soon? It doesn’t feel like it, but the original R6 was actually first released more than two years ago, way back in July 2020; it feels much more recent because, due to the pandemic restrictions and global supply shortages, we didn’t get to see the R6 into circulation properly until well into 2021. The Canon EOS R6 Mark II’s headlines are a new 24.2-megapixel CMOS full-frame sensor, compared with the EOS R6’s 20.1-megapixels, and it’s also now Canon’s fastest EOS camera to date – the Canon EOS R6 Mark II can shoot continuously at up to 40fps with the electronic shutter! That’s double the fastest 20fps rate on the EOS R6 and EOS R5, and still faster than its big brother EOS R3, and baby brother APS-C sensor EOS R7, that both max out at 30fps. The Canon EOS R6 Mark II also offers 20fps and 5fps options with the electronic shutter, or up to 12fps with the mechanical shutter.
Furthermore, compared with the two-year-old EOS R6, the new sensor reduces rolling shutter problems, allowing the camera’s electronic shutter to be used to freeze fast-moving objects.
