I just wait for Ken's reviews...As always you expect the best and get the best! Thanks Ken! What a fabulous camera!

[Twobarpsi]

Great camera, and great review Ken!! Your word is pure gold!

[John-Shutterlyphotos]

Thanks Ken for the great no BS review, as always you say it like it is, and that means a lot to the photography community! I still love my 5D Mark IV and R6, but one day I will give the R6 ii a try after seeing your review.

Great review as always Ken. I just traded in my Z6 II for this camera and am waiting for it to arrive. Can't wait. While I got some great images on the Z6 II I did feel it got in the way at times as the AF system is workable but a bit behind the curve in its implementation. So seeing your review and hearing that this camera gets out of the way so I can focus on composition is very reassuring. Keep up the great work. I've learned a lot from your videos over the last few years and can't thank you enough.

Great review and great information on your website! I have subscribed and look forward to reading more. Happy New Year!

Thanks for including the HDR and focus stacking examples. My R3 will do that but I had never tried it thinking it would be "too fiddly" and "doing it for real" would require external software to do it right. These two examples showed it working extremely well on-scene, in camera. Canon consumers are lucky, by the way, in that Canon distributes many of its software innovations across the pro platforms, regardless of price tier, as they develop them.

I thought about buying a used R6 as people are dumping them cheap but the R6 2 is a huge improvement in so many ways over the original - thanks for the review

[paulgill]

Yes Ken, you have been a great help, as usual.
Fantastically clear and to the point.
I will buy it, hope Canon give you commission.
Thanks,
Paul.

Thanks for this. I will check out your website, too. Considering this V the R8 for my non pro needs FWIW. EDIT: Fantastic feast for the eyes those pics. Being able to showcase your skill V some YouTuber picking holes in work from others whilst not big on showing their own is a difference. I appreciate your skill. Cheers

this was very helpful, im a beginner and have been wanting to be a photographer for a long time and im going to school for it in the summer and i was researching cameras and i found your review video and i want to thank you.

[davidct]

Thanks Ken, just found your channel as I was after information on the R6ii that I’ve just purchased, having given my wife my six month old R7 (lucky girl). Subscribed and will be looking to see any of your other R6ii guides that you have.

[TonysTubeSite]

Great info. Just got my second R6M2. Still working on getting the autofocus dialed in.

[ladyethyme]

Looking forward to this!!!! Was thinking of both 6 or 6mii

[ViaromanaLeather]

Saw your excellent R5 video too, and I am now torn between R5 and r6m2. due to limited budget. which would you choose? Used R5 with cheaper lense rf50.8m and 24-105 or new R6m2+ rf50.2 and rf 28 pancake. They cost about same at arouns total $450 here in S. Korea.

[thomasphillips]

Ken, great video. I did not know the R6mk2 processed photo stacking in camera. I was considering the OM-1 for that very reason. Again thanks, I have been listening to you for years and don't feel like you have steered me wrong so thanks again.

Hello Ken, thanks for the review, I've upgraded from a canon EOS R, but I have an issue with R6's LCD display, the display appears "cropped" with a large blank border round it, is that normal?

[victorcharlie]

Great review, great channel, glad i found it tnx!

Ken Rockwell ..will you ever review Panasonic L mount cameras ? They have been out 5 years now.. the S1, S1R, S1H, S5, S5 II, S5 IIX .. with nary a mention on your site.

[DennisFahlstrom]

Ken, I noticed that when you showed samples of your favorite R6 Mk 2 photos that the lenses used in all were EF lenses with an EF - RF adapter. Is this because you prefer the old EF lenses (as I do) or a different reason? I’ve tried 3 RF lenses and sold them in short order as my EF equivalent lenses were sharper or as sharp …and they are already paid for.

[jiridvorak]

Sticked with 5DSR for last 5 years. Any reason to swap to R6 II ? Most of shots for real estate, or virtual tours 360. Rarely weddings, report photographer.
