Side by side, you’d be hard pushed to spot much of a difference between the original 6D and the Canon EOS 6D Mark II (the latter is actually a tiny bit smaller) - the only obvious marker from the front is the name badge. At the time of writing, the Canon EOS 6D Mark II retails for around £2,000 / $1999 (body only). These days, it not only has to compete with the likes of the Nikon D750, but also full-frame mirrorless models from Sony - such as the A7 II. When the 6D was launched in 2012, it didn’t have too much in the way of competition when it came to entry-level full-frame models. It’s also possible to record 4K time lapses in-camera. Other new features include the addition of inbuilt connectivity options (Wi-Fi, NFC, Bluetooth), a touch-sensitive articulating screen and Full HD video recording at 60p. This is the first time that the newest DIGIC 7 processor has been used with a full-frame Canon DSLR. It is paired with Canon’s most advanced processor, the DIGIC 7, which should mean we see considerable improvements in speed and in noise performance at high ISOs.
There’s a new sensor, which now boasts 26.2 megapixels. Aimed at photographers who are looking to make their first move into full-frame photography, the Canon EOS 6D Mark II follows on five years after the original 6D made its debut.Īs you’d expect, it features a range of improvements from its predecessor.
