The Canon EOS R6 II just sunk to a low price that makes the shiny new EOS R8 II hard to recommend
Canon EOS R8 Mark II's design was inspired by its SLR cameras with a 'modern twist', and it brought welcome upgrades to the EOS R8, include image stabilization. However, the EOS R6 Mark II has since come down in price — so which is the better buy?
The Canon EOS R6 Mark II has recently dropped to an extremely low price, making the newly released EOS R8 Mark II difficult to recommend. Last month, Canon introduced the EOS R8 Mark II, which boasts a retro design with a modern twist. While it offers several upgrades, such as image stabilization and a multi-controller, it is not as premium as the EOS R6 Mark II.
In fact, the EOS R6 Mark II features a superior build quality, dual card slots, a larger battery with extended shot life, and a larger 3.69m-dot EVF with 0.76x magnification. It also includes a mechanical and electronic shutter, unlike the EOS R8 Mark II, which only has an electronic shutter. The EOS R6 Mark II price drop has significantly changed the landscape, making it the better option for those seeking a mid-range full-frame camera.
With its improved features and competitive pricing, the EOS R6 Mark II stands out as the recommended choice over the EOS R8 Mark II.
