I recommend buying gear used, thats what I do. But if you feel like splashing some cash on the stuff in the video you can do so here:

Mattias thanks for not being a typical youtuber, causing disharmony over gear, and showing respect for this art ; )

I've been using the 6D II since last December and it's BY FAR my favorite camera of all time! I'm very happy to see more people coming around to appreciate it. I've taken mine all around the world, in every kind of environment, and it still works like new.

I think I'll go give it a hug now.

I love my 6DM2. It has what I need to do for architectural and landscape pictures. I don’t do videos so 4K was not a priority. It’s really good in low light spaces like churches. I don’t care of not having two SD slots. I have many of them with high capacity that I change every day so I keep organized my pictures. Also I used the WiFi capabilities of the camera to backup the images to my iCloud. I bought this camera before watching any video. I went to a respectable store and they gave me really good advice of this camera and others. So later watching all these bad reviews of the camera made me wonder if I got an special 6DM2 because I’ve been using it for more than 10 months and I don’t see the negatives of this camera for people who is jumping to be semi pro. Also I noticed that people giving the negative reviews are professionals and they can’t compare a $5k pro camera to a semi pro camera and it is hard for a pro photographer to go back to the roots. Remember people, it’s the shooter and not the machine who makes great images. Thank you for a sincere opinion.

This is one of the rarest reviews of 6d mark 2, that speaks about what 6d is made for-photography!

[camillebrenes]

Mattias, there are so few doing objective reviews like you do. You keep a level head far away from all the marketing frenzy mentality we all see out there in the internet. Watching your reviews is like finding an oasis from all that madness. Just want to say thank you for taking all your time to do this. It's appreciated.

Having owned and used this fine camera for the last 3 months I have to compliment you on the most honest review I’ve seen. I have no regrets in my choice and the camera has never disappointed. Cheers!

[ArpadAmbrus]

Always a joy to get notified and to watch your videos. And we get the info from a user's point of view, not just a quick review. And we also get to see your photographs, better than any test chart, hands down! ☺ Thank you for your work and art! 🙏

You can tell from this great review that he doesn’t just look at the specs sheet but he has used it in depth. Some people just look at the numbers and bash the camera without working with the camera enough. Thanks for the great video!

[RebeccAcoustic]

You are such a breath of fresh air compared too all the abrasive, spec-hype fanboy reviewers. Thanks for a sincere, non-sponsored look into the 6d mkii!

Well said Mattias. I would also add that on the grey market this camera can be bought together with the excellent 24-105mm lens for LESS than 1, 700 euros! That's a fantastic deal. It may not have all the latest features, a zillion AF points or 4K video (which very few can watch anyway) but for those of us who know how to expose an image properly it's a great camera.

I love the fact you mention at the end how some people in the comments will insist that you must be paid by a particular company. I too get this all the time on my own review videos and it makes me very happy to see a fellow Youtuber whom I have great respect for, actually address this in a video. Thank you for another great review, always look forward to your videos, don’t stop with your excellent work!!

[EliasJRosario]

First person I've noticed to mention that a fully articulating screen slows down the creative process and makes the camera bigger. Thank You!

I bought the 6Dmkii as an upgrade from a crop sensor 60d and I was very discouraged by YouTube reviews. But I must say I have been please with it’s performance since the first day. YouTube and spec sheets can never tell you what’s good for your style, you have to choose for yourself.

[tamasvarga]

Your channel just popped up in the recommendations and I watched couple of your reviews and I found them very refreshing. No fanboyism, no equipment bashing just enjoy shooting and sharing your experience. Awesome, keep it up, subscribed!

"I almost never use anything other than the center point"

I thought I was the only one! lol

[HenryJuliao]

I've been preaching this camera since it came out. This camera is underrated. I love mine.

[shonen]

Took the words right out of my mouth, Mattias. I’ve had this camera from launch, replacing my 6D. Haven’t opened a single camera review since, I just shoot and be happy <3

[EposVox]

I've had mine for a couple months now and love it!

[leefoxall]

Hej Mattias. Thank you very much for your videos this year - I've enjoyed watching them, especially this one as it's good to hear a voice of reason passing judgement on the 6D Mark ii. A very Happy Christmas & New Year to you, and all the very best!
