Canon EOS 6D Mark II Instruction Manual - This remote switch has a self-timer, interval timer, long exposure timer and exposure-count setting feature. Regardless of whether it is checkmarked, the respective information will appear in the viewfinder in the following cases: when you change the shooting mode, when you press the , , or...
That means that while it's a little plasticky, it feels solid in the hand. It's appreciably and pleasantly lighter than the EOS 5D Mark IV, and Canon's claims of weather-sealing appear to have some merit, with robust protectors over its ports and a gasket around the battery door. We should also note that the 6D II is one of the lightest and most compact full frame DSLRs currently on the market. As you can see below, comparisons with the 80D are impossible to avoid, as the back panel is close to identical between the two. And the 80D handles quite well, so this is largely a good thing. All of the buttons have good travel, though they may be a tad mushy if you're operating the camera whilst wearing gloves. The 6D Mark II, left, and the 80D, right. The only significant difference is that the 6D Mark II has a one-touch magnification button above the rear controller. Our main criticism with the handling of both the 6D II and the 80D, for that matter concerns the rear dial and multi controller. The dial itself is fine, but the eight-way controller is a disaster. If you're going to be manually moving your AF point around and you likely will, since subject tracking in the viewfinder isn't one of the 6D II's strong suits , you're better off just disabling it and doing it the old-school Canon way: Press the selection button by the shutter button, and use the control dials. That small, nicely click-y button is arguably the best way to select AF points on the 6D Mark II through the viewfinder. This method takes some getting used to if you've not used older Canon DSLRs, but it ends up being pretty quick once you've built up your muscle memory. We've found it's entirely likely that you'll miss shots when the eight-way controller refuses to respond to your inputs - if only Canon had brought over the 5D IV's excellent joystick. Thanks largely to its touchscreen and Dual Pixel tech, the EOS 6D Mark II handles very well in live view mode. Being bigger than, say, the EOS 77D, it's less comfortable than that camera to hold at arm's length, but the articulating touchscreen makes it easy to shoot from the hip. We really like the 5D IV's joystick and rear control dial, but we also really like the articulating screen on the 6D II. One big advantage of the 6D Mark II over the EOS 80D is that a larger sensor necessitates a larger mirror which, in turn, grants you a larger viewfinder. There's room for the uprated electronic level that's far more precise than on Canon's lower-end offerings, though we do wish the viewfinder was 100% coverage: you may find some unwanted objects creeping into the edges of your images in carefully composed shots. Wireless Connectivity The 6D II features both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth with NFC, for quick and easy pairing with Android smartphones. If you have an Apple iPhone, Bluetooth is a bit useless; it can automatically pair your device with the camera when they're both powered on, but you still have to manually initiate Wi-Fi, whether in settings or within the app, to accomplish anything with Canon's Camera Connect software. Once you've got Wi-Fi going which can take a few tries, at least on my iPhone 6 , it's pretty slick. You can browse and download images from the 6D II, and control the camera remotely. You can even tap the screen on your smartphone to initiate Dual Pixel tracking on the camera. For Android users, NFC is a blessing, making pairing exceptionally easy, and the app offers similar usability as the iOS version. Buying Options Complaining about this camera? Vote with your feet, buy an alternative the suits you. Teach them a lesson, and go elsewhere. Sell your glass, before there is a rush on it. BTW - I did that bit in caps so Canon can see it better. And to all those that bemoan 'marketing' - if it's done right, and steers a company properly, you end up with what you want. It's ham-fisted sales people with a marketing hat that actually screw things up. Canon users like me have enough work admitting to themselves that Canon is the 'leader' in a market accelerating towards the gates of hell... I have no issues with 6D Mk II as a back up camera. I don't think there are downsides on this camera, as mentioned. What I see is that, Canon makes 6D Mk II as the back up to the full-fledged FF EOS camera. So, 6D Mk II is a fully capable FF set up as back up and good enough for consumers. Any Pros, look for 5D and above 1D series , and don't look below 5D.... I have 5D Mk II myself, and for me it's a perfect set up with 6D Mk II as my backup camera..... I think, Canon has made very valuable development in EOS ecosystem, compared to other brands. I very much liked the review, and also my 6D... Sony is likely the best body but still need great glass like Canon. From experience I can tell this is the sweet spot. Better Canon or Sony bodies you get later, but keep your glass as initial invest. If you buy smart you may get them all with price of 5D body good second hand primes etc this is what I ultimately ended up doing... I'm really pleased that Canon came up with a FF body with a full flippy screen, which as a landscape photograper who often uses a low down tripod with camera in both portrait and landscape modes, this is ESSENTIAL, and much better for creativity. So, the poor 6Dii DR is a real let down, given that DR is the next worst thing after fixed screens grads are a pain for me. I'm sort of tempted by A7Rii or iii for its DR and being able to use my Canon lenses, but that single axis flip screen thing doesn't work when the camera's vertical. All a bit frustrating! Im still shooting 5d mkii nikon d200 w tokina 70 200.. I suppose the real issue is not that this is a bad camera or can't take excellent photographs, it's that at its price point other competitors have made more improvements. The 5div made significant improvements to dynamic range, in surprised this release did not, and I don't mean because one wants to underexpose by five stops, but it can help in high contrast shots. An excellent camera no doubt, but every dslr now is pretty excellent, but it's not stand out at its price point It used to be the high ISO race..... I'm sorry, but I just checked the sample images at maximum resolution and I completely agree with the author. It's hard to believe in such a difference - the dynamic range is steps behind from my old Pentax K5 II. I always shoot underexposed and I even tried to figure out how could I process some of those files. Anyway, lots of time must be spent with Topaz labs or similar in post processing. I just checked DXO Mark. My four year old Sony RX100 II pocket camera, with a much smaller sensor, at a quarter of the price, has higher DR at base ISO than the Canon 6D II... Not surprised hedge funds have large short positions in Canon stock. The iPhone shoots 4K 60p video. It appears Canon's management still doesn't get it. My comment isn't particular to this camera, but I want to say that I wish DP Review would allow visitors to compare a broader set of cameras in the conclusion scores. Didn't it used to? For instance, I'd like to compare the 6D whatever version to the 5D whatever version. Instead, DPReview preselects the cameras it thinks we ought to compare. I get that comparing a 6D to a G16 makes little sense, but one full-frame camera to another? As a pro-photographer, must admit that I am a bit amused by the review and the many comments here. This camera, just like the 6D is more than enough for a pro-photographer. The rating is a joke, many of the comments are a joke. I ditched my 1D and 5D series cameras in favor of the 6D line years ago and I have not regretted it. My customers were absolutely pleased with the picture results, be it an agency, a magazine or a big company. Portrait, landscape, action, news-pics, desert, rain, ice-cold weather - these cameras just work, and that's what any pro asks for: A camera that is tough and reliable. People seem to forget what cameras we worked with e. Those cameras were way inferior to a 6D and still got the job done. Photography is much more than hundreds of focus-points, ISO 500. I work with ONE focus point all the time. If Canon actually thinks that's enough, and there is strong evidence which seems to support this, then eventually they will indeed curl up and die. Oh no, not everyone delivers that, it ain't that simple. Not everyone has a reliable, sturdy camera that is easy to use, withstands thunderous rainfalls or other extreme weather conditions, that delivers great picture quality and a splendid customer service worldwide. They just did not and still don't deliver in the one or the other area what it takes. Some of them are slowly getting their act together - but once you have invested 10. Furthermore, all those new technical gimmicks of questionable value will be adopted by every company sooner or later. I can wait five years for a new technical gimmick that neither I nor my customers need. I shoot Pentax as a part time professional and my go to body is the k5iis crop sensor 16mp with awesome glass up front. I have high mp FF but use it sparingly. Clients dont look at my photos and say... They rely on me to get a nice image. The tech race is the place these forums revel in and mostly amatuer gear heads who have enough time to spend here. The whole DR thing is hilarious. If you expose correctly then whats the problem.... Maybe it would just be easier to dump Sony and move back to Canon? All the pictures and Video from the review there are not sharp at all - come on! How this is a good thing? And Lacks 4K video and headphone port for audio monitoring in 2017???????!!!!! For 2K this is a joke? When there is going to be 5D V with built in GPS and WiFi, BT and fully articulating touchscreen?????!!! Canon this is simple!!! Hey, this model is aimed for other than videography main stream. For photographer occasional video 1080 is enough. It's called product placement and Canon did great! The vloggers who really want FF, this is great start if also good lenses are needed. Am I the only one that still thinking that this is a great camera? Some guys care too much with specs. Ok it is not sooo good when we try to blow a 100Iso photo. But is it really an impossible trade off if you consider the good things you will get? It looks like we have plenty of good drivers here, complaining of this entry level Ferrari that in the real live cannot even take a Subaru to its limits. Viriato: of course it can take great pictures. But it does it no better than the original 6D, and until ISO 400, worse than the crop sensor 80D, both of which cost substantially less. It would be as if BMW rebranded an entry level Hyundai and charged you a 3 series price. The car would do just fine at getting you to work and back, or taking you and your family on vacations, but you grossly overpaid for it. If this camera is successful, it will be because of Canon's marketing and the lack of technical savvy of its target customers. Arun: The 6Dii hast just been my reliable companion on a Baltic sea vacation, and I must say: it does take great photos. I owned the old 6D before, and the new one is better with the higher resolution in regard. Might dynamic range of the 80d be better until ISO 400, so isn't general image quality, especially seeing low light cababilities of the 6Dii, which are no point of complaint. See the overall package and do not just focus on price and DR, which seems to be matter of exaggerated interest. Not one image I captured in my seaside vacation including sunsets and other contrast demanding situations where I have longed for more DR - correct exposure provided. I owned a 5DIII and loved it. I was of the camp that said who needs a 5 stop push or more than 11 stops DR or more than 21 MP resolution. I upgraded to the IV last year; I love how clean the shadows look. I love how easy it is to recover when I do accidentally underexpose. I love ITR face tracking even though it probably lags Nikon and Sony in this area. I love how well controlled the noise is in my astrophotographs. I used a 5DS to shoot the eclipse, and I was amazed at how much detail 50MP done well captures. So these days, I am much less dismissive of new features - bottom line is that they make your job a lot easier and help you take better pictures in tough situations and are more forgiving of your mistakes. I'm sure the 6D II will take great pictures. But be aware that it is highly overpriced for what it provides. And don't be so dismissive of increased DR or better AF systems until you actually try them. Most of my work is done with the Pentax 645Z 51MP and 15 stops DR , and I have a 5DS for side projects. I don't miss the days when I would spend weeks enlarging the files of my 5DII to that size! There is one flaw with this review: the author is forgetting the universal truth that you can vacillate all you want, but time often makes decisions for us. And in another 5 years just as your 6DII is ready to give up the ghost, Canon will helpfully provide a replacement.
