My favorite thing about the Mark ll is that the Mark l might get cheaper :)

0:53 we worked hard on that nubbin, pleased you like it.

Great intro to the R62. It seems a really useful bit of kit with some great features; a switch from photo to video, focus breathing, a larger No. of shots per charge…. As u said it stands it’s ground as a good - poss great - camera; not just the R5’s little brother. Thks Kia & Loc.

Thanks, Kai. Would you say the R6 mark 2 is the best upgrade for someone still shooting with a Canon 5D mark 4? I'm only interested in shooting stills and the only reason I'm looking to upgrade is for the face detection auto-focusing feature as this seems pretty flawless. Can’t justify R5 money for stills-only shooting.

6:05 - Actually, Canons have been having False Colour since 2008 in *5D Mark II* with *Magic Lantern* 😀 Although, cameras since Digic 6 (app. 2016, and any ML updates stopped in 2018) processor and newer are no longer supported...

My fullframe lenses for EF mount were waiting for this camera
Yes I'll go for meike 'drop-in-filter' adapter

[kenDOLL]

too bad there isn't any competition in the RF lenses.. makes canon mirrorless a lot less appealing

[DreamPrashant]

Loved the vibe of the video a lot! Quick question: Does it remember faces? If my subject is dancing in a group of people, will it remember to keep only my subject in focus at all times? And how would I set this up? Thanks!

[EricsTechFR]

I didn’t expect a Canon R6 Mark II that soon…
I’ve just uploaded a video on how I’ve (almost) got rid of the overheating issue on the R6 😅

With the new 24 MP sensor, did they fix the "yellow-ish" hue skin-tone a lot of photographers were noticing on the Mark 1?

the song at 7:13 is Water by Bicep, btw

Why does the viewfinder use so much more battery than the LCD screen? Surely OLED is supposed to use less power not more??

[vznquest]

0:29 LOL - i'm just glad you two are still hanging out after all these years

[CoalitionGaming]

Any word if any of the 1080p modes are oversampled? 1080p quality has been getting badly ignored by everybody lately. Storage is expensive, let's see some optimized 1080p as an option too!

That 40fps tracking shots was insane !!!

Looks like I sold my Canon R6 just in time. What canon desperately needs are high quality, affordable and light(er) weight lenses for the majority of shooters. I waited very long for canon to come up with good, semi-affordable mirrorless camera's just to end up with heavier, larger and crazy more expensive lenses. I'm fed up with 1000 shots per second which I have to wade through in LR/C1 and autofocus features which reduce me to a monkey pressing a button. Sure, if you're a pro (wedding/event) shooter I suppose it's handy but for a prosumer like me it's pretty much useless. I switched to sony because I just couldn't justify the rf 50mm f/1.2 and rf 100-500mm to my back and wallet. With the Tamron 35-150 and some cheap primes I got so much more bang for my buck and grams it's almost funny. Except for the fact I used canon for more than 25 years and I hate the sony body, cheapy buttons, weird ergonomics, menu system and the machinegun shutter sound.

I think am getting too old and weak for the current canon strategy. (End rant)

[drbeardo]

Everyone testing R6 in San Diego
Kai: my own world
Canon: we don't know how that happened

3:46 I like how they are causally letting the sensor wild open and I have a nervousness inside me that some dust will go in.

[cybervehicle]

The mark II just feels like proper progress. It's a baby R3 in terms of autofocus.
