What is the latest model of Canon digital camera (price picture and the latest SLR)?

In 2020, Canon introduced EOS R5 and R6, also known as all-around cameras. 165438+1October 2nd, Canon EOS R6 was officially released in Mark II. The price of the second-generation all-around camera is basically the same as the listed price of EOS R6, and it also brings four core upgrades, such as sensor, focusing system, continuous shooting performance and video performance, which makes this Quan Huafu micro-single camera more competitive. Today, we will bring you the evaluation and introduction of Canon EOS R6 Mark II.

Let's talk about the price that everyone cares about most. The listing price of Canon EOS R6 is 15999 yuan, and the listing price of Canon EOS R6 Mark II is 16499 yuan. The price gap in 500 yuan is almost completely flat. In fact, if the exchange rate and inflation are taken into account, the price has actually fallen.

Canon EOS R6 Mark II is still an all-around camera that takes care of both photos and videos. The types that this camera can shoot are very comprehensive. All types of photography we can learn, EOS R6 Mark II, can be carried out, including professional video requirements. For a novice who wants to start with an all-around camera, or a professional photographer who wants to change to a Canon full-frame camera, this time can be slow and steady.

Then let's take a look at the specific improvements of Canon EOS R6 Mark II compared with EOS R6.

Canon EOS R6 Mark II adopts the newly developed 24.2 megapixel Quan Huafu CMOS sensor. The DIGIC X image processor designed by the new algorithm works together, and the image quality is better. This new sensor not only significantly improves the image quality, especially the performance of high-sensitivity image quality, but also significantly improves the tolerance. For users, the improvement of high-sensitivity image quality and tolerance can make the camera play a better role in various shooting types.

Part of continuous shooting, this upgrade is very obvious. When using electronic shutter, Canon EOS R6 Mark II can reach the highest continuous shooting speed of 40 frames per second. In addition, EOS R6 Mark II also supports the RAW continuous shooting mode of 30 frames per second, and supports the preview function, recording the picture 0.5 seconds before pressing the shutter. This function is especially useful for shooting ecological photography or sports competitions.

Canon EOS R6 Mark II has also adopted the latest second-generation full-pixel dual-core focusing system, but its detection and recognition capabilities continue to expand. In addition to the original recognition ability, this time it has also increased the detection and recognition autofocus ability for horses, planes and trains. In this way, users will get a more relaxed shooting experience when shooting related topics. In dark light, EOS R6 Mark II has -6.5EV dark light autofocus capability, which is very helpful for focusing dark scenes and starry sky photography.

As a second-generation all-around camera, the video of EOS R6 Mark II has also been significantly upgraded. The camera supports 6K oversampling, uncut 4K 60P and 4K 30P video recording, and full HD 180P slow motion recording. 4:24:2:2 10 bit HDR PQ and 4:24:2:2 10 bit canon Log 3 are still available.

Canon EOS R6 Mark II can effectively suppress the internal temperature rise, so there is no overheating problem when shooting 4K 30P. At the same time, the recording limit of 4K 30P 29 minutes and 59 seconds was cancelled, and long videos can be recorded. And EOS R6 Mark II also supports the pre-recording function of video clips, which can pre-record the content 3 seconds or 5 seconds ago. It is very practical for users of bird shooting and travel shooting. So as not to miss the wonderful scene.

Then, we officially began to evaluate the Canon EOS R6 Mark II camera.

Appearance: the top changes greatly, and some buttons feel better.

First, let's take a look at the appearance changes of the Canon EOS R6 Mark II. Canon EOS R6 Mark II's overall appearance style is exactly the same as EOS R6, highlighting the professional micro-single atmosphere and adopting black body color matching.

It can be seen that the design style and key layout of EOS R6 Mark II are consistent with EOS R6. However, it is worth mentioning that EOS R6 Mark II's focus stick feels better because the material has changed.

The biggest change in the appearance of Canon EOS R6 Mark II is the top of the fuselage. On the left side of the top of the fuselage, the switch button of EOS R6 is changed to the toggle lever of the current photo/video mode, and the switch is moved to the right side of the impeller. The positions of other keys and dials have not changed. If you are a user upgrading EOS R6 to EOS R6 Mark II, you need to adapt to the new operating location.

Canon EOS R6 Mark II and EOS R6 are identical in viewfinder, screen, card slot and battery.

In the viewfinder part, Canon EOS R6 Mark II uses a 0.5-inch organic light-emitting diode color electronic viewfinder, which is about 3.69 million dots. The viewfinder magnification is 100% horizontally and 100% vertically, and the magnification is about 0.76 times.

In the screen part, Canon EOS R6 Mark II adopts 3-inch color LCD screen design, with about 654.38+0.62 million dots, which supports horizontal 654.38+0.80 degree and vertical 270 degree flip operation and touch operation.

In the interface part, Canon EOS R6 Mark II is equipped with USB Type-C interface, HDMI interface, Mic interface, audio interface and cable release interface.

In the card slot part, Canon EOS R6 Mark II adopts double SD card slot design and supports SD/SDHC/SDXC memory cards.

In the battery part, Canon EOS R6 Mark II is equipped with LP-E6NH battery, so USB Tpye-C interface can be charged or powered. This kind of battery has good durability. Basically, there is no pressure to shoot all day.

Image quality: high sensitivity, excellent image quality and strong noise control ability.

As mentioned above, Canon EOS R6 Mark II is equipped with a newly developed CMOS sensor design in Quan Huafu, with about 24.2 million pixels. The image quality change brought by this sensor is believed to be a matter of great concern to everyone. So, let's take a look at the image quality of Canon EOS R6 Mark II.

Schematic diagram of test screenshot area

Through our test, I believe you should intuitively know the performance of this new sensor in terms of image quality. The new sensor really improves the image quality. From ISO 100 of R6 Mark II to ISO 3200, Canon EOS has excellent image quality. At the same time, it is not easy to keep a clean picture under ISO 6400, whether it is a RAW file or a JPG photo. Even under the rule of ISO 12800, the photos of Mark II of Canon EOS R6 are still available.

Through the real photos above, we can better understand the strength of Canon EOS R6 Mark II in high sensitivity and noise control. That is to say, the high-sensitivity image quality of Canon EOS R6 Mark II is excellent as a whole, so users can use ISO 6400 with confidence, and it is no problem to use ISO 12800 in extreme environments. Canon EOS R6 has become an artifact of starry sky photography with its excellent high-sensitivity image quality. This time, Canon EOS R6 Mark II has become a new generation of starry sky photography artifact with better high-sensitivity image quality.

Tolerance: the overall performance is very strong, and users can use it with confidence.

As the second generation full-frame camera, the tolerance of Canon EOS R6 Mark II is naturally excellent. Then, we will show you the tolerance of Canon EOS R6 Mark II. We tested the fault-tolerant performance of the camera in ISO 100, ISO 1600, ISO 3200 and ISO 6400 respectively.

Graphic of the screenshot area of the tolerance test.

Canon EOS R6 Mark II showed excellent tolerance when using ISO 100. After the later repair, we can see that there is almost no noise increase from-1EV to -4EV, and there is no sign of color cast in the picture. It can be seen that Canon EOS R6 Mark II performed very well in ISO 100. When the -5EV picture is restored, the noise in the picture is only slightly increased, which does not affect the use, and there is no sign of color cast. In other words, even in the case of -5EV, Canon EOS R6 Mark II still maintained excellent endurance. For users, shooting in high light ratio, backlight and other environments is more reassuring.

Canon EOS R6 Mark II has similar tolerance performance under ISO 1600, ISO 3200 and ISO 6400. Let's explain it together. After using these three ISO's, it can be seen that after reducing from-1EV to -2EV, there is only a slight increase in noise, and there is no sign of color cast, which fully shows that the tolerance performance is still excellent under the condition of -2EV. Under the three ISO standards, there will be obvious noise increase when repairing -3EV images, but it is still within our acceptable range. In fact, if it is extreme shooting, even if the picture is fixed at -3EV, there is still room available.

In the actual outdoor shooting experience, we set the Mark II exposure of Canon EOS R6 to -3EV for shooting, and we can see that the dark details of the original image are almost completely lost. After the later period, not only all the details are clearly presented, but also there is almost no additional noise increase in the picture, and there is no color cast problem.

Canon EOS R6 Mark II has excellent tolerance and overall performance. With the advantage of tolerance, users can feel more at ease when taking photos of landscapes, buildings, portraits and so on. In a large light ratio environment or a backlight environment.

Video: More versatile performance, easily meet the needs of professional users.

Canon EOS R6 Mark II greatly upgraded the video. It can support 6K oversampled and uncut 4K 60P and 4K 30P videos. In other words, when shooting 4K 60P video, we not only didn't edit it, but also oversampled it at 6K. At the same time, the camera supports 6K60Draft recording. So, let's take a look at the video quality of Canon EOS R6 Mark II after the video specification upgrade.

Support 6K oversampling for uncut 4K 60P/4K 30P video formats.

For video, we mainly tested the high-sensitivity image quality of Canon EOS R6 Mark II, including the range from ISO 1600 to ISO 6400. It can be seen that the video picture is oversampled and uncut, so the definition of the video is remarkable, and it is easy to meet the professional needs of users. At the same time, even if it is really high, the video quality is still excellent, and the visible noise suppression ability is very obvious. This kind of video quality performance, regardless of the light intensity in daily life, brings excellent video images to users, which also increases the scope of camera recording.

In order to better show the high quality of the video, we specially chose a 4K 60P video, which was shot under ISO 6400 in a relatively dim environment. It can be seen that the high-sensitivity image quality of Canon EOS R6 Mark II's video is still excellent after enlarged display. Even when shooting in a very dark real scene, the noise in the video is completely within our acceptable range. So in actual video shooting, we can also use high sensitivity to record video images.

Support full HD 180P slow motion video format.

For slow-motion video, Canon EOS R6 Mark II supports full HD 180P slow-motion recording, which can achieve better results. Auto focus is also supported when recording in slow motion. Through our actual experience, compared with most 120P slow-motion videos, full HD 180P videos can achieve better slow-motion recording effect. In some fleeting high-speed images, users can see the motion trajectory of objects more clearly through later means.

For post-production and color matching of users, Canon EOS R6 Mark II supports recording HDR short films based on 4: 2 4:2:2 10bit HDR PQ and 4: 24: 2 10 bit Canon Log 3. You can choose to export Quan Huafu's raw file to an external video recorder without trimming 6K or trimming 3.7k 59.94p/50.00p through HDMI. In addition, various auxiliary functions of professional short films, such as pseudo-color, zebra stripe display, aspect ratio labeling, and respiratory effect correction, are readily available.

Look at the picture quality, and then look at the recording. Canon EOS R6 Mark II can meet the needs of users for long-time recording, and effectively restrain the temperature rise in the machine, so it can realize long-time recording. Moreover, the maximum time limit of 30 minutes for a single recording is cancelled, and ultra-high-definition videos of up to 6 hours can be recorded. For applications such as long-lens shooting and time-lapse video recording, the change of this time limit can be described as sincere.

Canon EOS R6 Mark II supports UVC and UAC protocols.

In the live broadcast application, Canon EOS R6 Mark II supports UVC and UAC protocols. If Canon EOS R6 Mark II is used for live broadcast, no separate acquisition card or software copy is needed. Just connect the camera to the computer through USB cable, and you can turn into an ultra-high quality camera.

Video pre-recording function

Of course, what surprises us most this time is that Canon EOS R6 Mark II has added the function of pre-recording video clips, which appears on EOS R5 C. This function can record images 3 seconds or 5 seconds before the short film shooting button is pressed, which can help us better capture the unexpected moments of shooting time. This function has a very prominent role and effect in shooting birds, babies, sports events, news and so on.

With the addition of video quality, video performance and many functions, the video recording of Canon EOS R6 Mark II is more perfect and professional. For professional video creators and video teams, Canon EOS R6 Mark II will become a more cost-effective professional tool to meet the needs of professional creation.

Focus: still perfect, adding more recognition and focusing ability.

Canon EOSR6 second-generation full-pixel dual-core focusing system is one of the most experienced focusing systems on the market. Canon EOSR6 Mark II is also equipped with this focusing system, and it is upgraded again on the basis of EOSR 6. Canon EOS R6 Mark II's second generation full-pixel dual-core focusing system has at most 4897 available autofocus points and 1053 available autofocus areas in the process of motion selection. Support about 100% horizontal times about 100% vertical focusing area, with -6.5EV dark light focusing ability.

Canon EOS R6 Mark II is similar to EOS R6 in that it can recognize human eyes, faces, heads and bodies, as well as eyes, faces, heads and bodies of cats, dogs and birds. The difference is that EOS R6 Mark II further extends the animal detection algorithm based on deep learning technology, and adds detection and focusing. The camera can accurately detect and track the horse's body, face and eyes. When there are riders on horseback, you can also pay attention to horses in real time.

Like EOSR6, EOS R6 Mark II can inspect sports cars and motorcycles, including Formula Racing, GT Racing, Rally Racing, Road Motorcycle and Cross Country Motorcycle. When testing these kinds of cars, you can test the helmet of focus formula racer, or a car with a roof. On this basis, R6 Mark II EOS continuously expands its coverage, and can realize "train" and "plane". When the train is detected, the cab of the high-speed train can be detected and focused. In addition to high-speed trains, you can also check the whole body of the train; When quot aircraft gt; It can detect the focusing cockpit and the focusing fuselage, which can effectively avoid the situation that the focus deviates from the background sky.

We use Canon EOS R6 Mark II to experience eye recognition focusing, especially in dark environment. Even in the poor light environment, the camera still maintains accurate eye recognition and tracking focusing performance, which has been well passed down. In addition, the bird's eye recognition ability is completely consistent with the experience before EOS R6. EOS R6 Mark II is also one of the relatively perfect products of waveguide, which has an eye recognition and focusing experience on the market.

Horse identification and focusing experience

In the new recognition ability, we can see that Canon EOS R6 Mark II's recognition of horses is also very accurate, which is no less than the original recognition ability of birds and animals. During the experience, even if the recognition of the horse is lost due to occlusion, EOS R6 Mark II can quickly return to the recognition focus of the tracking horse after avoiding occlusion, and the experience is excellent. With this technology, we can photograph equestrian events, horses running on the grassland and other related topics more easily.

Then, it is the experience of the recognition and focusing ability of airplanes and trains. Canon EOS R6 Mark II can not only accurately identify and track the focus, but also identify the plane or train from a distance in the actual experience, which is very helpful for our shooting. When we shoot planes, trains and other subjects, we can directly turn on this recognition and focusing function, which can bring users a more relaxed shooting experience.

Focus experience in video mode

In addition, it is worth mentioning that the focusing experience of Canon EOS R6 Mark II in video recording is exactly the same as when taking pictures, which brings a very powerful focusing aid to video creators. Canon EOS R6 Mark II has added these detection and focusing functions on the basis of EOS R6, and can continue to expand the camera shooting function. When we take pictures or videos of planes, trains and horses, it will bring better experience to users, so that users will not stop thinking and focusing, but fully enjoy their own creation.

Continuous shooting: Up to 40 frames per second, previewable.

Continuous shooting is also one of the core upgrade points of Canon EOS R6 Mark II. In fact, EOS R6' continuous shooting capability has obvious advantages in the market, and its competitive advantage will be more obvious after upgrading in Mark II.

Canon EOS R6 Mark II can achieve continuous shooting speed up to 40 frames per second, and supports RAW format or RAW JPG format. Continuous shooting speed under mechanical shutter can also reach 12 frames per second, just like EOS R6. In addition, EOS R6 Mark II also supports high-speed continuous shooting of RAW images up to about 30 frames per second.

40/s continuous shooting Ability Experience

With the continuous shooting capability of up to 40 frames per second, Canon EOS R6 Mark II can help users capture sports photos more easily, such as sports competitions, wildlife, birds, news and other topics. At the same time, with the help of powerful focusing system, almost every photo of high-speed continuous shooting recorded by Canon EOS R6 Mark II can be clearly distinguished, making it easier for users to finish shooting.

Quot Support the function in original mode before shooting.

Canon EOS R6 Mark II is equipped with RAW continuous shooting mode, which supports the function of continuous shooting mode before continuous shooting. The camera can automatically record images about 0.5 seconds before the shutter is released, which is the first full-frame camera equipped with this function in EOS system. With this function, we can't easily miss the most wonderful moment, whether we are shooting news photography, sports photography, ecological photography, or daily baby and pet photography.

One more thing, the mechanical shutter speed of Canon EOS R6 Mark II is 1/8000 seconds, while the electronic shutter speed can reach116000 seconds. This speed not only has obvious advantages in high-speed continuous shooting, but also can better meet the user's experience of using Canon F 1.2 super-large aperture lens under strong light.

Anti-shake: the five-axis anti-shake lens of the fuselage is anti-shake, and the maximum 8-speed compensation.

Canon EOS R6 is one of the first EOS R system cameras supporting cooperative anti-shake technology, with the highest compensation effect reaching level 8. Subsequently, many models in Canon EOS R system have such powerful anti-shake ability, and so does EOS R6 Mark II. Canon EOS R6 Mark II not only has five-axis anti-shake of the fuselage, but also can cooperate with is optical anti-shake in RF/EF lens to achieve the anti-shake ability with the highest 8-speed compensation effect. This combination is also one of the most powerful anti-shake combinations in the camera market at present, which can fully assist users to stabilize handheld photography and video shooting.

In fact, Canon EOS R6 Mark II has the same anti-shake ability as the previous products. Under the focal length of 46mm, the theoretical safe shutter speed should be 1/46 seconds, but in fact, our hand-held exposure time is 1.3 seconds, and we can see that the picture is clear and sharp by zooming in. Look at the powerful auxiliary effect brought by Canon EOS R6 Mark II anti-shake.

Mirror-carrying effect in hand-held video shooting

In addition to the synergistic anti-shake effect of Canon EOS R6 Mark II and RF/EF lens, we can also turn on digital anti-shake when recording video, so that under the synergistic effect of multiple anti-shake, even if the mirror is simply rotated manually, a stable video effect can be obtained.

Conclusion: It is worthy of serious consideration to increase the quantity without increasing the price.

At this point, our evaluation and introduction of Canon EOS R6 Mark II has come to an end.

The strength of Canon EOS R6 is terrible, and its competitiveness in the market is very obvious. Upgrading it was not easy, but EOS R6 Mark II did it.

Canon EOS R6 Mark II is based on EOS R6, which not only has better video quality, but also is the only camera that supports 6K oversampling and uncut 4K 60P shooting in the price range of 16000 yuan. At the same time, due to the addition of the "pre-recording" function, we won the competition. When recording multi-theme videos, don't miss the wonderful moments. When we use Canon EOS R6 Mark II to complete video creation, we can get a more powerful and professional experience, so we can better meet the needs of professional video creators and professional video teams.

Surround shooting experience

In addition, Canon EOS R6 Mark II has added some small functions, which are more friendly to beginners. For example, there are many built-in scene modes, night scene modes, portrait modes and sports modes. Or the previous EOSR7 and R 10 cameras also have the functions of surround shooting focusing and panoramic synthesis. EOS Mark II is the first product in EOS R system to support panoramic shooting, and has added quot HDR first change the subject quot. You can take HDR photos without Zhang Hecheng. The addition of these small functions is intimate and practical, which can meet various actual shooting needs. Whether you are a novice who wants to start a full-frame camera or a professional photographer who wants to upgrade the camera, the Canon EOS R6 Mark II is really one you should seriously consider.

Finally, back to the price, the listing price of Canon EOS R6 Mark II 16499 yuan is sincere.
