Our Verdict
Canon EOS 6D Mark II
Canon EOS R6
In most cases, the Canon EOS R6 outperforms the Canon EOS 6D Mark II, but it's also a higher-end and, therefore, more expensive camera. Because it's a newer, mirrorless model, it offers advantages in areas like autofocus tracking performance, video features, and burst shooting. It also feels better built and features in-body image stabilization and dual SD card slots. That said, the 6D Mark II has a much longer battery life, and it could be a good option for those looking for a cheaper entryway into full-frame photography.
