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.
hi erika. did you back up your photos simultaneously while shooting it? i shoot wedding photography with this camera, and wondering if i can transfer it to cloud storage while shooting throughout the event.
Amirul Ashraf no because is not recommended. If you don’t have constant network, it can ruin or you can lose the image. Sometimes you walk from one space to another and depending of the materials surrounding the space it can freeze the connection and therefore you lose the images. By materials I mean, some old houses have plaster in the walls and it blocks the network signal.
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.
@@ENT-vt2rr not if it is an EF-S lens. Those lenses only work on crop sensor camera bodies. EF lenses work on full frame cameras like the 6D, 6D II. In addition, EF lenses will work on BOTH full frame and crop sensor camera bodies, but EF-S lenses will not.
Good and bad in everyone, if you read my comments to Kenneth you will see I call him on it when I think he is off base, like a lot of public persona's what you see isn't always what you get, and he has been nothing but kind and respectful to me. I don't subscribe to group think and I don't ask anyone else to, If you don't like his channel feel free not to watch, I don't like everything Kenneth does but that does not mean he has no redeeming traits. He will respond to every email you send him and availability means a lot. I hope that helps you understand ; ).

@@notme1998 I was considering both for a while - the d750 and 6d mkii both have their pros and cons. The d750's biggest perks are that it has dual card slots, better dynamic range, and a headphone jack. The cons being the price is a bit higher still and I personally already have some lenses in EF mount (I have a couple old 35mm in nikon manual focus too however). I decided I'd rather give that up for the canon color rendition, an articulating touch screen, and some of the other features in the 6d that make it really appealing for what I want which is an all-purpose weather-sealed DSLR for outdoor landscapes, wildlife, street, and general "travel" photography. Either way - I don't think you can go wrong as both are outstanding systems in their own right. The great thing with both vs going mirrorless - is there are a ton of DSLR mount lenses you can buy used.
Late comment here but that’s the one thing that’s pissing me off watching reviewers. Most of them are vloggers and by this point, we already know Canon doesn’t do video with their DSLR line, they have a whole Cinema EOS line dedicated for that. I and probably 90% of people watching these reviews just want to know what they are like for stills.
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.
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 bought the 6Dmkii as an upgrade from a crop sensor 60d and I was very discouraged by RU-vid reviews. But I must say I have been please with it’s performance since the first day. RU-vid and spec sheets can never tell you what’s good for your style, you have to choose for yourself.
My impression is that it is a price thing. I just got mine for $950 with a printer and it seemed like a hard decision not to make, though I'm still a bit nervous about going all in on full frame lens costs.
Rich Freeman if you’re nervous about the upgrade don’t watch RU-vid reviews. Identify what your needs are and research if the products you want cover that. I learned the hard way if you buy cheap you spend more. The cheap stuff will either not work or worse will break. Then you are faced with the decision to buy quality($$$) gear or risk buying cheap again. Basically you get what you pay for.
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!
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!
There’s the internet and then there’s the real world. Yes there are better cameras but less rugged and often more money. This camera is just right for me.
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!
Recently bought one of these after reading alot of negative reviews I still went and purchased it and it is a fantastic camera. It does everything I want and more. Including a built in timelapse which gives you a 4k option. So for all the haters of the canon 6d mark ii I suggest you go out and buy a camera twice the cost of this and get very little quality difference is that really worth the extra cost? Any a great review and a great camera 👍
I love the 6d2 as well. A nice upgrade over my 6d which i don't pull out often anymore. The biggest upgrade for me was the speed of the camera in terms of autofocus, the ui, and the shot to shot speed. I don't see why dual card slots is a big deal bc i have never lost pics and i have taken thousands.
I have a 6d mark II and an EOS R. I love 6d mark II more. It is quite and does the job silently, while EOS R distracted me a little bit with EVF. I used sony a7m3 too, which distracted me all the time with the fancy functions and poorly designed menus.
Why would an evf distract you unless it sucks like the Lumix gx85. It's really easy to shoot in manual and not have to worry about your fancy functions just because they're there and you spent the money doesn't mean you have to constitute a reason to use them all the time
I am a 6d2 user for 10 months now. No doubt that it is a good camera with good price, which made me give up my 5d4 before with those extra features I never use.
Glad to see a RU-vidr that doesn’t hate on this camera, I purchased mine a few days ago since I wanted to move from a crop sensor camera to a full sensor body, so far I have been pleased with the pictures, I ain’t a professional photographer nor planning on becoming one, I don’t need 4K since my computer can’t handle processing 4K video, and I am not planning in buying a new one; hence, I don’t need all the things that this camera is supposed to be missing, for now I am happy of having a full frame camera at a lower price when compared to a camera specifically targeted to professional photographers.
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 RU-vidr 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!!
Nice review, I’m going to buy this camera as a upgrade from my T6. Finally someone who isn’t bashing the camera. I plan on starting a small photography business and need a cheap full frame
I have a T6i now and want to get a FF, but all the negative reviews about this camera and it's DR have me hesitant. Do you mind sharing your thoughts on the DR if you have had any issues? I heard that at ISO 100 there is a lot of noise is this true?
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! 🙏
I love my 6D Mark ii. I couldn’t afford the 5D so I went with the 6D Mark ii after watching a video review that fully convinced me. Everything about the 6D Mark ii just fits my lifestyle. I don’t regret getting it at all. I love it.
You are the reason I bought a camera & started to shoot. I will always be thankful for that, not to mention I love your videos. Puts a smile on my face in a busy day like this.
You are probably the only person I've ever known who doesnt like a flippy screen...then again, you justify it with your shooting style. Love the video!
JB in terms of stills yeah I guess so. I personally prefer the flippy screen. I guess it’s a matter of personal preference. For me, having a flippy screen allows me to turn my screen to the inside so I can avoid scratches during going around. Also it allows me to use the touchscreen to focus at weird angles, which I have had to use on occasion.
Dhruve Mital I use a screen protector, so scratches haven’t been an issue for me. But yea, for me, like you said, there are a few occasional times where a flip out screen would have been better than a tilt screen, but they are very much outweighed by every other time that a tilt screen was the better option.
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'm loving this mini-review. My Canon M5 might not be the most advanced thing out there, but works like a charm and looks great. There's this certain characteristic look to Canon files as you say, that I really like. It's amazing how you always capture the essence of a product in your videos, Matthias. I like your outlook on things!
You're not wrong because you're a good Photographer. A good Photographer can take great pictures with whatever he has. I know this camera is not bad, but certainly match the rivals so people hate this
The 6D2 is a fantastic camera. I love the colors. The clustered AF points are great for AF tracking moving subjects. Great point comparing Live View to a mirrorless camera.
Honest reviews are really appreciated! 📸 It was the first time I saw someone saying that 6d Mark 2 is good for what they shoot. Tried dual pixel AF and it was awesome
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
Thank you for making this perfect review. I just bought this camera and have seen the pictures it can do and have been wowed. Night and day better than my old Rebel T3. I am sick of people bashing this camera for bad video when IT IS NOT A VIDEO CAMERA! I bought it to take pictures and you have helped me feel more at ease with my purchase.
Dear Mattias, you really saved my say. I bought 6D m ii couple of days back. Many commented wrong. Though I could not find anything wrong. Every gadget has + & - we have to adjust with it. Thanks a lot. I love my 6D M ii more from now on. Wowww
Now I may have bashed this first when this came out because I got caught in the hype. After a year when the price dropped, I ended up asking myself, what do I like in a camera? The 6D mkII fits everything that I would like. I now own one and absolutely happy with my decision.
Fantastic! I own one too now. Decided to try it despite the bashing. I owned a 6D for a few years. The images from the 6D II far surpass it. Enjoy your new camera, Carly!
@@ginotarintino if this is your very first camera I would highly recommend the Canon 80d. I have both the 80d and the 6d II and use both. Both are fantastic cameras. But the 80d has a built in flash which is very useful for for fill flash and for triggering off-camera strobes without having to use separate flash triggers. The 6d II has no built-in flash. I have used the 80d for many professional portraits and events and my clients have loved the results. It's a fantastic camera for both a first camera and well beyond. I always recommend an APS-C body as a first camera rather than a full frame. The 80d is absolutely amazing, even in low light. You will love it.
I bought my Canon 6D II in March 2021 and I really like it. I wanted a full frame and this camera is a big upgrade from the Canon Rebel T7i I used for the prior 3 years. My Sigma telescopic lenses work on both (100-400 and 150 - 600mm). I have to admit that the bad reviews had me second guessing my decision, but after 14,000+ keeper shots, I still love the camera. This camera just feels good in my hands and changing settings has become second nature.
Jesus. This is the best review I have seen for the 6D Mkii. You are honest, to the point and not focusing on specs! I love it. Convinced me to go with a 6D MKII
I went back and forth between the 6Dii, to the Lumix GH5, then the 5D iv, only to go back to the 6Dii because of the digital IBIS + flippy screen. It is a great video tool to use and I love it too. Thanks for the great review!
Thank you for this. A real user review, without all the tech number crunching BS. I've used a 6dmkii and loved the results, but would have never thought it I were just going from the popular review on YT
Yeah, people get so hung up on details like whether a camera has two card slots or not, and forget that they can just enjoy a camera for what it does do. I'm still using the original 6D, and even paid to have the shutter system refurbished rather than upgrade to a "better" camera because I still love it and it still does everything I want it to do (though you have convinced me that the liveview function on the 6D II would be a nice addition). Anyway, thanks for being a voice of reason amongst all the chatter out there.
I had a 6d for a while and kept waiting for the MarkII to come out, mainly hoping for the articulated screen. I had come to enjoy using it on an earlier camera, i could get views lower and higher much easier without straining to see the screen, so that was the main thing I got the Mark II for. The better festures are nice and I don't mean ti minimize them, but they were gravy for me. I've enjoyed my 6DII now and wouldn't trade it for anything!
I love how you always find the best in every camera. This is actually how one uses cameras in the real world. Not every feature is needed in every camera; if that were true then the only differences in cameras would be varied colored camera bodies (ppl would still argue of course, but it would be about whether Fuji's latest camera is a true yellow color or has too much red in it to be a true primary color; obviously affecting image quality).
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!
Such a refreshing break from the the typical photography channels who rained fire down on Nikon for the past few days. Thanks for once again reminding us that older gear in the right hands still has plenty of value.
Mattias Burling - It is great for those who own Nikon glass. The adapter reportedly works great. If Nikon's mission was to protect their user base who are looking for FF mirrorless, then it is a win. The Z bodies will sort themselves out over time, the new native glass will determine whether they win converts as the line fills out. By then the prices will have dropped on the first Z bodies at which point I expect a video on your channel about the Z6 will drop into my notifications box. 😀
Liked and subscribed. Had this camera for a number of months now after upgrading from my 1300d. And I can say that this camera is awesome! I bought it (even after all the negative reviews) because it had all the features I was looking for and in my price range. Review hit the nail on the head and the pros totally out way the cons.
I love how diverse your camera love is! Sony, Canon, Nikon, Fuji, Pentax, etc. It puts a lot in perspective too. You've quickly become one of my favorites! It's so interesting to see your results and hear your thoughts on such a big variety of cameras and lenses. I love watching "older" model cameras get so much love. By the way, that Canon 85mm 1.8 is one of my favorite lenses I've ever shot with. Beautiful!
Another great video Mattias! Just what I would expect from you! Thanks! It seems these days there is so much competition out there and too many choices, but I have to agree that for professional use, the reliability and pro service that we've come to expect from Canon is second to none...still... The ergonomics and image quality, coupled with lens possibilities, including adapted lenses, is perfect.I wish Canon would buckle down though and put 2 card slots in a pro level camera at this price point. In my opinion, for the money, my Pentax K3 is still the best stills camera for someone who is mainly a still photographer needing a bulk of useful features, pro level build quality, and sharp, small and affordable prime auto focus lenses. In saying that, my best pictures as a pro sports and fitness shooter were made with the original 5D. Still great!
I have 6D mk 2 ... the biggest reason i change body from 6D mk 1 is the Live View AF ... YES ... is that Good. May i share my own experience ? 1. Lack AF point, or not spead properly, Like u said, center point, yes thats all i used too, so that Not a problem 2. Lack of Dynamic range, really ? I shoot jpeg btw ... and im happy with the result, and so my client ... :) 3. Articullate screen, for me, its helps a lot 4. And my thought, maybe the Dual Pixel af will be in the Canon mirrorless fullframe, so its would be a stellar, no new mount, no addapter, thats so brilliant ... And Mattias, great review !
Honestly guys I’ve been waiting for EOS R mirrorless for long, but since it’s very expensive, I’m now again looking at upgrading to 6D mk II from my current 6D. Much more cost effective and still offers pretty much all the small upgrades I really want, like flippy touchscreen and DPAF.
Cheers, Mattias. You've answered my key question. 6DII file vs 5D Classic file. That's very good news as it'll join my 6D mkI instead of a 5D SR. My mirrorless friends think I'm senile. Personally, I'd rather buy one extra piece of kit for $1,600NZD than 4 lenses and 2 bodies for $10,000!. 👍
I‘m using this wonderful camera as long as about 5 years, and I‘m still extremely happy with it. A very particular PLUS for me are excellent pics taken at very high ISO values. Well, I‘m only an amateur, photographing for my own pleasure only, and the 6DMkII is more than good enough for me.
Nice review Mattias. Always enjoyed watching your videos, one of my favourite Camera reviewers on RU-vid. The way you present and structure makes the video very pleasant, relaxing to watch =) Keep it going!
No you are not wrong at any point. Whatever you explained about this 6D mark ii is true. I was trying to migrate to mirrorless by selling my 6D mark ii. Tried and tested Mirrorless but I couldn't find any good reason to sell my copy. 45 point crisscross Focus points are enough. This camera has everything. !!
Thank you for a good positive review of this camera. I’ve wanted to like this camera, as it really has everything I am looking for. Yet there is so much negative noise regarding it, it’s hard to get over that. Yet your DR example wowed me, and that’s been my big sticking point. Yet this looks awesome. Thanks again!
Are there people here really accusing you of being a shill? Like, you're the last person I'd think about being paid by a brand. All your reviews show your love for photography and understanding of what's the idea of behind the camera. Keep on the good work.
JuanReasonToSmile people sometimes feel the need to dismiss someones opinion if it isn't in line with their own. EDIT: Funny you should mention it since I just had to delete a comment from a troll that was pushing that very idea :)
I have a canon 5D Classic as well and this will be my next camera. I had an A7ii but got rid of it because I wasn’t happy with the images it produced. It wasn’t that it was bad it just didn’t produce the colors I was used to with the 5D. There’s something to be said about Canons color science, something one Sony fanboy tried to tell me didn’t exist if you shot in RAW, but I proved him wrong. Now that I’ve watched this I’m eagerly awaiting the purchase of my 6D Mk2. Thanks a lot Mattias!!!!
Thoroughly enjoy your content, some of the most interesting and informative reviews and comparisons available on RU-vid ... well, at least in my humble opinion.
@@gearreallydoesntmatter Matt your so right - you'd think we are all shooting with pin hole cameras the way people get hysterical about the smallest point 😃
I must start by saying how great this review is. Short, but it covered just what a potential buyer needs to know. About the camera, when it first came out and the dynamic range issue took over the internet, I was let down and decided not to buy it. But months have past, and I've noticed that Dynamic range is almost never an issue for me. I'm still shooting with the same camera that I started photography with back in 2011, Canon Rebel T3i. And i almost NEVER over or underexpose my shots more than 1 stop. Also, I only use the center focus point, and i'm not sure that I will feel comfortable using any other. So, the deal breakers others see in this camera, are what I have been dealing with for years and learned to over come them. Besides, getting the shot properly exposed in camera should always be the main and first objective. I will be upgrading to this camera this Holiday season. Thanks for the video Mattias! Always love your content.
@@gearreallydoesntmatter i still have t3i alongside my newly acquired used 5d mark II and i must say t3i has special place for me even when i see 5d produces photos with better detail and overall better quality. T3i was great camera before, its great camera now
I love the articulating screen on my Canon 600D (Rebel T3i)! I use it almost every time I use the camera. I've used it while shooting stars (my tripod is quite short and so I use LIVE view to shoot, or while doing long exposures at night. I find it immensely useful! Good review. Thank you for the video.
Well, I love the full frame and medium format sensors for their low light sensitivity. Most of what I do is fine art and low light (night) photography. So I'd rather have a larger sensor. Even a Sony A7R (classic) would be nice with some good glass.
Could you do a video on that subject? I've been under the impression that the bigger the sensor the more light it gathers and therefore the signal to noise ratio is better (resulting in less noise in the picture). Could you do a video listing your fav/top 5 (or more) cameras for low light? I'd love to hear what you have to say! Thanks again for your videos, they are always cool to watch and learn from. And your dog is one of the coolest/cutest I've ever seen.
I Love This Guy! Straight To The Point & The Only Positive Review Of This Camera *Tip If Your Looking To Buy The 6dMk2 Don't Trust RU-vid Reviews For Your Final Choice, Investigate To See If It Fills Your Needs! People Bash On The Video Side & Expect It To Act As A 4000$ Camera The Video Is Alright Gets The Job Done And The Photos Are A Good Upgrade From Most DSLR Cameras The Image Quality Is Way Better IMO
I have 60D, wanted something diferent and 20 days ago bought Fuji X.-t20. Great camera but to small for my hand, pushing the wrong buttons all the time...pretty annoying. Glad did not sel 60D but now I am selling Fuji to buy 6D Mk ii :)
the story about the 6D mk ii is like the presidential campaign in 2016. All the media/youtubers were bashing it, and this camera is still best seller on B&H ;)
I wish more people had taken the time to actually work with the 6D MkII instead of jumping on the hysteria band wagon over specs. I really enjoy mine, and I also focus and shoot as you do with no problem. Also like you, I'm not a big fan of flip screens and prefer the tilt type, but since my 80D also has one I just learned to live with it. Thanks for a logical and unbiased review; well done sir.
AH thank you! I just purchased one of these and then saw all these bad reviews and thought I had made a mistake. If it's good enough for Mattias Burling, it's good enough for me~! Thank you!
Ahw, thank you! This camera got so much hate on RU-vid, because everyone thinks it’s a camera only for video :D thanks for your great and positive review! ;)
