Mr Tech 6D mark II has great dynamic range, it may not be the best at iso 100 or 200 but when you push it to ISO 400 it becomes on par with Canon’s professional line of FF cameras. Again do your research and don’t be a slave to spec sheets.

I have one thing to say to all vloggers who are bashing 6DMii. Everything is not about the video, there are a lot of people who buys a camera don't care about video. When someone types "Canon 6D mark ii review" they don't always expect video perspective of the camera alone. We actually want to hear more about the image performance, dynamic range, auto-focus, colour science etc. It is been more than a year but every single one of you has nothing more to say other than lack of 4k. I'm sure it is a huge bummer for you guys but it is not everything!

About the dynamic range: I don´t think you notice a real difference between the 6d ii and the 6d. Serious landscape photographers use bracketing anyways. I just bought one brand new for 1000€ so I´m very happy about the price/performance

Not true at all. " If you wanna talk photography", please stop trying to talk videography when reviewing a camera that is designed for stills. The 5D Mk III does not beat the 6D MK II in any way. That just proves that you want to cheap out and get a youtube video channel using a DSLR. . As a matter of fact, it was clear from the specifications that the focus of the engineers who designed this camera didn't even TRY to make people believe it was going to be a great video rig. The codecs were not competitive for video, for a reason. You may have to suck it up and get a dedicated camcorder/video camera for this type of videography. Some youtubers can get away with using DSLR's for vlogging, but that's not what you are doing here. For the demands that you are making on this type of recording, it was clear from the get go that this isn't the proper tool for the job. It's like trying to eat soup with chopsticks. :)

Maybe, just maybe, Canon made the 6D mk2 for photographers that only shoot stills but want an affordable full-frame camera with great low-light performance. Like me. And the video is an addition like it was when they first added it their DSLRs years ago. There are plenty of more video capable DSLRs out there, so use one of those, or maybe an actual video camera. Why can't we stills photographers that never shoot video have a great camera for that purpose, without all you videographers that don't want to buy a dedicated video camera slagging it off because it doesn't do what you want it to? I would never buy a C100 and complain about the quality of the stills it produced, so stop doing the same with stills cameras.

I do find KZread reviews frustrating for this reason. If they titled the review as a review for video I'd have no issues but there are tons of camera reviews that only look okay video. I'm not sure if I'll ever use a camera for that, my cell phone is already adequate and honestly I can't be bothered to edit video so what footage I have rarely gets used. I was torn between this, the 80D, and the M50 and you'd think all they do is video from the reviews.

I started shooting with 6D MKii this weekend in Nashville. Amazing photos! I just shoot stills and am completely satisfied.

I just got this camera and I love it. There is always short comings with anything but for me this is a really good camera. I am coming from a 7d fist generation to the 6d Mark II. The full frame is worth it to me. The 4K thing is overrated. 66% of KZread videos were watched on a 720 screen. Unless you are planning on your stuff being on a movie screen you are wasting your storage for 4K. 4K or even 8K is a way to get consumers to buy new stuff. This is marketing 101. I do appreciate your feedback on this and keep up the creative life! Very good video! I will be checking out more of your stuff!

Thanks for your kind words and Im happy you enjoy your new camera! Certainly from a 7D its a dramatic upgrade. I will Kindly disagree with you about 4k however. About half of my views on this channel come from computers, and Macbook pros from 2012 on...not to mention 5k iMacs ....and all these computers display higher than 1080p resolution. Also, 4k always is the best format to record in to get amazing 1080p. A photographer taking 24MP photographs never delivers that resolution. Resolution of instagram posts are only 2MP. So does that mean we should only have 2MP sensors on our iPhones and cameras? Same argument there works for video. The benefit of shooting higher resolution is for image sharpness, color detail, and the ability to crop in post. SOOO if we are delivering in 4k now...obviously its the same for that with 4k being the new standard rather than 1080p...so thats where 8K comes in. Same story.. an 8K image downresed to 4k is going to give us a better image plus it'll allow us to crop in post with a true 4k deliverable.

You might over rate 4K but many of us use it and love it. In 2018 there is really no excuse not to have it - codecs are friendlier now for editing at home, so that old excuse is getting tired. I can't imagine putting my modern full frame camera down and pulling out a crappy iPhone SE to record my video footage because the Canon camera can't even do that.....? Really....? I'm sure it's a good camera - I had the 6D and loved it. But the crop Nikon D500 blows that camera clear out of the water, and the 6D Mark II isn't much better than the mark I. That's the problem..... It shouldn't be like this, Canon can? lol Canon should....

For a blogger,vlogger,videotographer......just dont't buy it, the clue there was when Canon didn't include the all important headphone jack! It is a full frame photography camera and as a camera it kicks ass! I have had all of the 5D cameras and loved them all, but the flip out screen makes all the difference for me. I love the camera and it takes great photographs. I personally think the 1D C has spoilt your perspective to the 6D2, it is over $1000 more, of course it is better. The 80D was an upgrade to the Casey self-declared "Greatest blogging camera ever" and has a headphone jack, it may as well had 'work harder' printed on it. LOL

Thanks a lot for your honest opinion. For an enthusiast like me with a 30D and two EF lens, would it still be a bad choice considering a tight budget and that I’d like to begin with full frame for photography and filming ? Or maybe the 6D is what I need ?

Can I use my 10-22 and the kit lens to my canon 80d on this camera?

HAHAHA! Love your authenticity and honesty bro. Subbed!

I continue to use my 80D and invest in glass until one of 2 things happen, either a 6D iii with 2 card slots or a 5D v with an articulating screen. Maybe one will happen or maybe not, but one should.

5D Mark V with articulating screen and latest processor with a slight uptick in resolution and I am in too!! My 80D has been awesome so far though but will definitely go full frame with next body. I have never even switched on video mode on my 80D as I actually like photography.

I agree with you on everything you said. I just bought an 80d and i am very happy with it. I was considering the 6d but after most of the reviews i have seen I just bought an 80d and spent the rest of the money i saved on the sigma 18-35mm f1.8

I'm a photographer. Just sold my 80D and picked up this camera for $1500. I will never turn on the video. Image quality is excellent. No regrets. For a photographer at $1500 it's a great upgrade from any APS-C camera.

is the 6d2 a worthy upgrade to 80d for photo shooting only? I can count the times I needed 1/8000 sec shutter speed on one finger

I totally agree with you. I ended up picking up a GH5 instead of the 6D ii because I couldn’t deal with the crappy 1080p codec. I’m in a spot where I would definitely go with a 90d or 100d if they put in 4K or even just a higher frame rate option in 1080p. The icing on the cake would be if it had dual card slots, though I doubt that will happen lol.

@connormccaskill

6 жыл бұрын

It’s such a tough decision really. If given the option between a7iii and 6d II id choose the a7iii. Out of all three you listed though, personally I’d go GH5 because of the video features

The interpretation at 5:00 minute mark. I get it and I know exactly what you're talking about. For some reason every frame of the video that you stop at to see what's going on whether the subject is in motion or not the frame itself will be clear without any blurriness unless it was intended to. So for example: If I edit my video in sony vegas. If I right click on the video and Disable Frame re sample, it helps you get that clearer image. But as what he said in the video if you can have All-I compression , you can literally have this without taxing your PC and be worry free whether you have to figure it out a way you get the smoothest video possible.

Hi sir. Is canon 6D mark ii no firmware update ? No one talk about it . I just bought it so I really curious . 90D just came out and it already updated firmware. Why ?

then what do you recommend to buy for best landscapes photography in full frame in 2000$ range..4k doest not matter as i am not photographer or vlogger..i love stills only

It is actually a great camera, I just bought it. I don't know what you talking about. You're trying to compare its quality with 1DC, mark4, 1DX..etc? which are twice the price or more!?? Try compare it with anything in its range. NOTHING in its range has the same awesome focus system. The quality may slightly vary, but Ofcourse, its a matter of "what would you sacrifice." For stills, yes, maybe better get markiii or markii because its similar quality. But for video, this one is amazing. For both video and photos, this one still a beast. Oh also, about dynamic range, its not as terrible as you describe it. If you expose your shots properly, you never gonna have to worry about dynamic range. Also, this camera has a wonderful ISO. I can literally pump it up to 25k ISO and still get very usable images.

Like the DPAF and flip out screen. But that’s not enough for me. I get that on my better 80D

No... no... no I am not. The human eye has 20 stops of dynamic range - we can see the detail in shadows and highlights far better than any camera can - and we don't do exposure settings biologically. Dynamic range is just that DYNAMIC RANGE. It's to do with seeing the large and minute detail in light graduations - it's how sensitive we are at perceiving these ranges of graduations. If you over expose or under expose then sure - you can bring back that detail depending on how good your sensor is. But being able to bring back detail is not the same as recording that detail - and that's what dynamic range is. Honestly.....

What did you do to fit the 10 18mm crop Canon lens in 6Dmk2??

@2:40 I think what you are saying here is a misleading info. Canon themselves claim that 6D MKII is a stills camera and not for video shooting. For those CANON'ers who want to shoot video the address is 5D MK IV.

Good photographers do wonders with the 6DII, it's an awesome camera, I work with 1DX, 5DIV and 6DII, I expected having issues with the focus points on the 6DII but I just don't see it, it's a great camera.

Just bought the camera today and been playing around... I can say that the full frame makes a huge difference and that is something you can't say for a cropped sensor. It's an upgrade from my workhorse of a camera body the Rebel T3i that I abused to no end and it still held the test of time. These Canon bodies are super worth the money, at least in my experience I've never regretted buying a Canon lens/body if no other reason than it opened a new photography door for me.

hey! i m clueless but with good intentions. I heard you talking about codecs and it caught my attention. i own the 80d, is it recording with the right codec by default? also thanks to u i wont "downgrade" to the 6d, LOL!

Yes yes yes . u are right, lets wait and see how they will fuck up 7d mark 3

I felt the exact way you felt when I heard everyone talking about the camera. I rented the camera and did a video about taking pictures with it and I while I enjoyed my time with it. I didn't find to be better than my D750 for photos at least. The 80D is definitely a better bang for the buck! Great video BTW if you are wondering how I found your video.

Fast forward to June 2023. Just bought the 6d ii this week and I absolutely love it for photography. I sold my RP after 3 months and the 6d is like driving one of the older cars, it's fun.

Great review! I cannot believe Canon did not put 4k, a headphone jack, and it has a slower shutter speed in this camera. The dynamic range is bad. When I saw Neistat and McKinnon start using this camera and praising it, I was shocked. I was wondering if I was missing something. I was even thinking if I made the wrong decision staying with my 80D. I cannot believe Canon came out with a $2000 camera in 2017-18 with such terrible dynamic range and no 4k. It is also worrisome, because I feel it shows that no Canon camera under $2000 will get 4k anytime soon.

If video is you main focus, you are right and it shows in your advice: get a GH5 instead... great video, but the photo's: more noise, less color sensitivity and worse in high iso low light photo's. The 6D mark II is not the camera for your usage that is clear. Btw: you can improve the video quality by improving the sharpness in camera by selecting 'Fine Detail' instead of Standard. Or make a custom profile with even more sharpness. It is a versatile full frame photo camera, not a video camera.

The 6D ii even though I don't own one myself, but from watch videos shot by it and playing with it, it is a fantastic piece of tool. A great camera with awesome picture quality. So, being super bias cuz you're an awesome creator, didn’t expect that from you.

I have a 90D... but I want to know is it worth getting this camera just to take photos??? I don't need to make videos just photos???

Canon generally outsells Nikon and Sony. They are the Toyota of camera Companies. Their products are generally never at the forefront of technology and perhaps not at the top of performance but they are very reliable and high quality and this drives a large portion of their market share. The 6D Mk 2 is a great camera with excellent dynamic range above 300 ISO. In the real world the difference are small and if you shoot in low light, the 6D mk 2 will eat most cameras lunch including this blogger.

If you are ONLY a photographer then you would be much better served with a 5D mkiii! It gives you much better feature that a photographer needs and better image quality for the same price.

I viewed this post several months ago along with every review I could find on Canon's new camera bodies. I was agonizing over the 80d, the 5D Miv and the 6DMii. Tony N, Frono and you all seemed to have the same complaints mostly centered around video performance, the mic, and dynamic range which in my case were much less important as an amateur with intermediate skills and needs. I was a bit puzzled and taken aback by the shrill fuss and I went ahead and bought the 6dmii for about $1300 at the canon direct store. I am so happy I did: the amount of features packed in this camera provides real value to a guy like me; and then there is the reality that camera bodies now tend to be obsolete in a few years. I get it professionals will want more perfect tools for their job and should probably pony up the extra 1k or so for a flagship model. I did notice that Tony N. has withdrawn his critique and posted an new more glowing review using the 6dmii with a 28mm image stabilized lens that improves the sharpness. You can add him to your wall of shame Vlogers (LOL). But seriously, have your considered this simple solution?

Hi Dave! Thanks for the video! One question, what about the canon 90D right now compared to the 6D mark ii? for video it has 4k resolution, but still doesn't has the full frame...

You just saved me some money big time. I’m still on a T5i and have been looking to upgrade and when the 6D 2 was announced I was pretty sure I was going to get it. And my decision was backed up from all those KZreadrs you mentioned but after seeing your video and the camera store’s review on this, I’m going to wait a bit longer for a 90D or A7Siii. Thanks!

Canon M50 coming soon! Rumored to shoot 4K. Well see

Thank you for producing this video. It reinforced my decision. Canon has a real gap in the its full frame line. I recently wrestled with buying the 6D2 and really tried to sell myself on it, but couldn't. Dustin Abbott said it best when he reviewed the 6D2 and said words to the effect that Canon had the opportunity to make a great camera and settled for making a good camera. That having been written, I shoot Canon and stayed Canon and opted for a new 5D4.

how is the low light shootings? as i can see on the paper, 6d m2 has better (almost triple) low light performance.

Would like to know if the eos RP uses the same video codecs as the 6d m ii or does the RP use All-i??

Those vloggers got the camera for free and have it in their interests to keep their relationship with Canon. Sadly, the "say nothing negative" mindset still reigns on KZread. If one doesn't agree with everyone else, that person is labelled "negative" or "hater". The "gimme free shit" crowd runs this site.

It's a resolution measure. 1080p, the "standard" nowadays, is half that of 4K. A 1080p image (or video) is 1920 pixels wide by 1080 pixels high. A 4K image (or video) is 3840 pixels wide × 2160 pixels wide. So, 4K is double the vertical resolution of 1080p.

I upgraded from a canon 70D to the 6DMK2 and I also have a canon EOS R and I love both cameras. I enjoy the 6DMK2 because of its ease of use and the image quality is actually superb when you use in good natural lighting conditions and becomes even better with on camera and off camera flash. Lowlight shooting is good up to 12,800 iso. I see no major difference with the EOS R image quality with sufficient natural lighting. I don't worry to much about DR because I make I nail exposure for the most part. Know your gear and it will work wonders for you. I'm not a video guy.

I wish so bad that they would put a flip out screen on the 5d series. That makes all the difference for me.

Question: what does 4 k look like on a cell phone? Yeah, I didn't think so either. The minimum screen size needed for the human eye to resolve 4 k is said to be 42 inches MINIMUM! Sorry but who TF watches YT on a screen that big? The world does not revolve around 4k and for those for whom it does, You are not a bald eagle and I am sorry you've been wasting your time. If you're going to review things as complex as digital cameras don't admit that you're not tech savvy in the first two minutes of a video. It's a camera not a camcorder, most folks using cameras to take still photo's don't need a headphone jack unless it plays MP3's which they don't. maybe re-title your video to reflect these facts

if not canon 6d mark 2 then which one ? With the Same Range Of Price, Which is good in both cases Videos and Photography !!

Listen to all those praising the 6DMII, the make so many excuses to justify their purchase. "I don't need 4K", "It's a small camera" (No it's not), "It has great 1080p" etc. Sure, I'd have loved the dual-pixel AF, Canon colors and most importantly: Canon lens selection (new and used market). I really wanted to love this camera. But in the end, I ended up going with the Sony system instead. I got a 6 month old Sony A7Rii for cheaper price than a new 6D Mii. Actually, even the A6500 takes phenomenally good video. KZread stars talk about the 6DMii cause they have a ton of money, access to free gear and other pro bodies. But for the average person who can only afford one or two bodies and a couple of lenses at most, the 6DM2 is not a great choice. I waited months for this camera to be released. But in the end, I was also pissed at what Canon released. This camera would have been great in 2012, not 2017-18.

So, I like your review style. I will be buying my first DSLR soon and have jumped to Canon from Nikon. My only camera was a 35mm Canon EOS 650 years ago and I liked it... as a matter of fact, I still have it in the closet if anyone is interested. It's been in a Pelican case since I bought it. Anyhoo... I want to shoot photos of all kinds and video for a KZread channel from close in/macro to long range photography. I was thinking of the D5 Mark IV. Does it do 4K and good processing like you mentioned here? Which would you recommend for the best video and photo in the Canon line?

Totally agree with every word! Something else that's not a deal breaker but I'm surprised isn't being talked about more is the fact that it's got an all plastic body. It feel so cheap and less rugged compared to the metal bodies (7D 5D IDX etc). Even the 6D Mk 1 has a metal body..
