Going back in time and doing a recap, the EOS R6 was announced in July 2020, I had a short hands on session with the EOS R6, followed by a review article that I published in March 2021. Fast forward approximately 2.5 years from July 2020 to November 2022, the new EOS R6 Mark II is here, with big shoes to fill. Having tried, tested and reviewed the EOS R6, it was Born to Rule, making huge waves and impressions in the photography, as well as videography and content creators markets, on both professional and leisure sectors. It’s more than just impressive, the EOS R6 is a powerful workhorse full-frame mirrorless camera and the EOS R6 Mark II is going to change the game further and better. 

“As a rapidly growing segment, content creators are becoming increasingly sophisticated when producing content. To meet the needs of these creators, we are leveraging on our imaging expertise to deliver the EOS R6 Mark II with strong feature sets for both stills photography as well as videography, perfect for a wide range of content creation activities.” Said Edwin Teoh, Head of Marketing, Singapore Operations, Canon Singapore. 

Canon EOS R6 Mark II: Game changer for photography and videography

What makes the Canon EOS R6 Mark II, a game changer for photography and videography? First up, let’s start off and explore into the video capabilities of the EOS R6 Mark II.

EOS R6 Mark II: Meeting the Needs of Professional Video Workflows

The EOS R6 II records 6K RAW externally via HDMI, maintaining high quality even with intense post-processing, with Full HD proxy data simultaneously recorded to one of the 2 SD card slows for ease of editing. 

Internally, it is capable of high-quality 4k 60p video oversampled from 6K, and High Frame Rate video up to Full HD 180p, in addition to Canon Log 3 and HDR PQ video. It has improved heat management, therefore unlimited continuous recording of 4K 30p is now possible.

An alternative Quick Control screen that resembles those on Cinema EOS cameras provides an intuitive interface for users using the EOS R6 Mark II alongside the Cinema EOS System.

Video: Seamless Creative Expression

The EOS R6 Mark II is the first Canon EOS camera to support focus breathing correction, which reduces unwanted changes in angle of view during focus transitions. This complements existing features such as AF speed adjustment, providing greater control over focus transitions which is crucial for expression. 

In addition to the existing zebra display, the EOS R6 Mark II is equipped with the false colour function widely used in the Cinema EOS system, making it easier to adjust exposure even in tricky conditions. 

Two other video features making their full-frame EOS camera debut are: 

• Pre-recording for movies: A staple feature on Cinema EOS cameras, this allows users to capture moments that occur up to 5 seconds before the record button is pressed, reducing the need to “record on standby”. 
• Hybrid Auto Mode: This records a video 2-4 seconds before shutter release during still image shooting and automatically compiles them into a digest movie for the day, providing readily available video content to suit a variety of purposes. 

Video: High-quality Livestreams with UVC/UAC Compatibility 

The EOS R6 Mark II supports UVC (USB Video Class) and UAC (USB Audio Class) protocols, enabling high-quality Full HD 30p video and audio to be delivered to a Windows/Mac OS computer in real time, making it ideal for livestreams, remote meetings, and computer-based video recording. Live streamers and content creators can now take full advantage of a full-frame camera and high-quality lenses through plug and play on both Windows and Mac OS. 

Up to 40 fps Burst with AF/AE Tracking: Enhanced Detection and Tracking Capabilities 

In electronic shutter mode, the EOS R6 Mark II can go up to 40fps continuous shooting. This is the first EOS camera to go beyond 30 fps in AF/AE-tracking continuous still shooting capabilities. In mechanical shutter mode, continuous shooting is up to 12 fps with AF/AE tracking.

The EOS R6 Mark II has added horses, trains, and aeroplane to the existing subjects detectable by the deep learning-based algorithm. Users can also specify right or left eye priority for Eye Detection AF in photo or video mode.They also have more flexibility to decide on the subjects to be detected. There is also a new “Auto subject detection” mode, allowing users to automatically detect more than 1 type of subject within the same frame. 

Tracking performance has been improved with the expanded application of deep learning technology to subject tracking. By extracting subject features based on deep learning, the camera can now maintain consistent tracking even with changes in posture, orientation, or ambient brightness. This applies to animals, vehicles, and other subjects of the user’s choice for both stills and videos.

Other noteworthy new features that aid responsiveness include:

• AI Focus AF mode: This automatically detects subject motion and switches between One-Shot AF and Servo AF modes, allowing better response to subjects with changing states of motion. 
• Digital teleconverter: Increases the focal length by 2x or 4x with the touch of a button, allowing quick response to unexpected telephoto shooting moments without the need to change lenses. 

New Developed 24.2MP Image Sensor

The EOS R6 Mark II has a newly developed 24.2-megapixel full-frame image sensor that achieves a higher pixel resolution than the 20.1-megapixel EOS R6 with new sharpness processing that achieves visual resolution surpassing even the 30.4-megapixel EOS 5D Mark IV. The native ISO speed is up to 102,400. 

The EOS R6 Mark II is equipped with In-Body IS and HDR PQ HEIF recording. A new “Moving subject priority” HDR mode has been added, which helps to overcome the difficulty of creating HDR merges of moving subjects by achieving the same effect with just one shot. 

Greater Connectivity: Supports 5GHz Connection, Easier Smartphone Connection 

Faster wireless connections to smart devices are now possible as the EOS R6 Mark II supports both 5GHz and 2.4GHz wireless connections. Smartphone connectivity is also expanded, with Camera Connect app functions such as automatic data transfer and shutter release, which are now also possible via a wired USB connection. Data transfer to FTP servers is also supported via wired and wireless methods 

Designed for Durability and Power Efficiency 

The EOS R6 Mark II features dual SD card slots for extra reliability, and a dust- and drip-resistant construction designed to support outdoor shooting. Designed for power efficiency, it can shoot up to 760 shots on a single charge using the LP-E6NH battery. 

RF135mm f/1.8L IS USM: Better Bokeh, Faster Speed and Up to 8 Stops IS

For those who are familiar with the Canon EF lenses lineup, the EF135mm f/2L USM is probably not a Canon L lens that gets your attention as much, versus the holy trinity lenses. Canon photographers who work with prime lenses, the EF135mm f/2L is popular among portraiture photographers and still a highly sought after portraiture lens. 

It’s great to see the legendary 135mm making a comeback in the RF lenses lineup, the RF135mm f/1.8L IS USM, with better bokeh and faster speed. This is currently the only 135mm lens in the market to be equipped with built-in optical image stabilisation with up to 5.5 stops, and up to 8 stops IS when combined with a compatible camera via Coordinated Control IS. 

This RF135mm f/1.8L lens only weighs approximately 935g – lighter than some lenses with similar specifications but without image stabilisation. With a larger f/1.8 aperture, compared to its EF counterpart, this not only provides beautiful bokeh for excellent subject-background separation, but also allows faster shutter speeds in challenging lighting conditions.

Powered and driven by the fast and smooth Nano USM, supporting focus breathing correction, making the RF135mm f/1.8L an ideal choice for video production. There are also 2 new customisable lens function buttons on the lens body providing intuitive control over various AF and/or exposure settings, allowing a swifter response to changing conditions.

Canon’s L lenses branding and quality are well-known in the market, the RF135mm f/1.8L IS USM features professional-grade optical, imaging, and build quality. It has a highly durable body, dust and drip-resistant construction, high vibration shock resistance, and fluorine coating ensuring excellent reliability even under harsh shooting conditions.

Speedlite EL-5: High-performance Professional Speedlite for EOS R series cameras

Some of the recent EOS R cameras are equipped with the new 15-pin Multi-Function Shoe, the new Speedlite EL-5 leverages on this, achieving faster and more stable communication with the camera, which improves overall performance and reliability. This also allows additional functionalities such as wireless control via smartphone.

Built for Speed: Fast Recycling Up to 0.1s; at least 95 continuous flashes at full output

The Speedlite EL-5 is smaller, lighter and more affordable than the Speedlite EL-1, it uses the same high-capacity rechargeable LP-EL lithium-ion battery but with better efficiency. The EL-5 features a recycling time of approximately 0.1s to 1.2s and can emit continuous flashes approximately 95x or more at full output (GN 60).

If you require fine lighting control, microflach as low as 1/1024 can be activated for such situations. 

Enhanced Connectivity: Expanded wireless functions for more creative freedom

Wireless flash functionality has been expanded – in addition to compatibility with wireless control as a transmitter and a receiver. The Speedlite EL-5 also supports wireless remote control of flash settings using a smartphone via the Camera Connect app. It also shares the same dust and drip-resistance quality as the EOS R5 body, ensuring stable performance.

As of November 2022, the Speedlite EL-5 is compatible with the EOS R6 Mark II, EOS R3, EOS R7 and EOS R10 via a firmware update.

Initial Thoughts and Views

Having tested and reviewed the EOS R6 previously, I would be making comparisons with the new EOS R6 Mark II during the media session when I saw it for the first time. Notable improvements for me would be the 40 fps continuous shooting as well as improved tracking performance. The other key highlights for me would be from the video segment, the improvements and the quality of professional video workflow packed inside the EOS R6 Mark II. 

A hybrid camera for photographers and videographers/content creators, a game changer. While an increase from 20.1MP to 24.2MP may not be enough to satisfy every user out there, this is sufficient to get most of the jobs done or even your personal photography requirements. I am interested to see for myself the quality and output from the new 24.2MP sensor.

I hope to share more on them when I get the opportunity to review the Canon EOS R6 Mark II when it is available.

Canon’s 70-200mm L range is built on a legacy and strong standing from the EF70-200mm series, both f/2.8L and f/4L models. They are well loved by professionals and serious amateurs alike, for its accuracy, sharpness, optics and versatility. I started off with the EF70-200mm f/4L USM before upgrading to EF70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM. The RF70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM lens is built upon those strong foundations and it got even better, sharper and lighter with the modern RF lens mount and EOS R technology. 

During my review of the Canon RF70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM lens, I shot a wide range of photography genres from portraiture, wildlife, product and landscapes. This lens was a breeze to use, fast and accurate, sharp and clear photographs, sweet bokeh at f/2.8 too! For those photographers who regularly use the 70-200mm focal length range especially Canon users who have the EF70-200m f/2.8L or EF70-200mm f/4L lenses, this would be a very familiar lens to you when you use it. I personally own the EF70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM lens and I can attest to its quality and versatility. 

Here are some of my content creation articles shot with the Canon RF70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM lens:

After using and testing the RF70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM lens, I am also considering whether to make the switch from EF to the RF model even though I am using both EF mount (with my Canon EOS-1DX Mark II) and RF mount lenses (with my Canon EOS RP) in my current setup.

Thoughts and Views

The 70-200mm focal length lens is well loved by professionals, it can cover a number of different photography genres. The photographs shot with this lens are sharp, detailed and beautiful. Bokeh at f/2.8 is creamy, smooth and beautiful. It’s a fast and accurate lens, photographers would love this lens and I do know a number of photographers swear by the 70-200mm lens. 

The RF70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM lens is compact, shorter and lighter than its EF counterpart, the EF70-200mm f/2.8L IS III USM lens. One distinct difference is when you zoom out, the lens barrel is extended in the RF model versus internal barrel extension in the EF model. There might be some photographers who have concerns on the lens barrel extension allowing air/dust to get inside the lens and/or those who prefer the internal barrel extension in the EF model. 

Personally, I believe and trust in Canon’s L lens engineering, design and built quality, along with its weather sealing, they have decades of L lenses design and production. I have pushed my EF 17-40mm and EF70-200mm L lenses in the outdoors and commercial work for over a decade, they are very sturdy and can handle such demanding conditions. The RF70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM lens can handle the outdoors and commercial usage just like their predecessors from their EF L lenses family. 

The Canon RF70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM is most welcomed by professionals, part of the RF holy trinity lenses setup from the Canon RF family (add the RF15-35mm f/2.8L IS USM and RF24-70mm f/2.8 L IS USM lenses to complete the setup).

With the lens image stabilisation up to 5 stops and paired with the EOS R5 or EOS R6 with the 5-axis In-Body Image Stabiliser feature, this powerful function and features helps us photographers and videographers in our shoots that we sometimes don’t realise about the two features in action when using the Canon EOS R6 or EOS R5 that would be most welcomed by photographers. 

Key information on Canon RF70–200mm f/2.8L IS USM

• Filter size: 77mm
• Max aperture: f/2.8
• Weight: 1070g 
• Image Stabilisation: up to 5 stops
• Electronic floating focus control with 2 Nano USM

For working professionals who wish to switch to Canon EOS R and RF lenses setup, the RF70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM is one of the lenses that you would definitely be getting (or you want to have) for your professional photography setup. There is also the RF70-200mm f/4L IS USM lens that is now available in the market for you to have options to choose from.

More photographs shot with Canon RF70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM lens can viewed inside this Flickr photo album. Do check out my Canon EOS R6 review article and Canon EOS R5 review article and photos shot with the EOS R6 and EOS R5 in this Flickr photography collections. If you are planning to get the RF holy trinity lenses setup, here’s my RF24-70mm f/2.8L IS USM review article and photos shot using RF24-70mm f/2.8L IS USM inside this Flickr photo album. 

I would like to thank Canon Singapore for the opportunity to review the Canon RF70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM lens.

Thoughts and Views

The 24-70mm focal length lens is well loved by professionals. It’s a very versatile lens that can cover many photography genres, wide at 24mm and a bit of telephoto at 70mm. The photographs shot with this lens are sharp, detailed and beautiful. Bokeh at f/2.8 is creamy, smooth and beautiful. 

The Canon RF24-70mm f/2.8L IS USM is most welcomed by professionals, part of the RF holy trinity lenses setup from the Canon RF family (add the RF15-35mm f/2.8L IS USM and RF70-200mm f/2.8 L IS USM lenses to complete the setup).

The post Canon RF24-70mm f/2.8L IS USM Review appeared first on TGH Photography and Travel Portal/Blog.

The opportunity came for me to do a review with the Canon EOS R6, let me share with you my insights, views, thoughts, photographs and videos shot with the Canon EOS R6 full-frame mirrorless camera.

Aesthetics 

The Canon EOS R6 camera body is very similar to the Canon EOS RP, there is no top LCD panel, it’s also slightly bigger in width with dual card slots and bigger battery. It has a magnesium alloy body: Strong, sturdy, durable and solid feel, you would feel that it’s not too heavy and it would be easy to carry around. 

The EOS R6 LCD touch screen is easy to use, it has an intuitive navigation menu that allows users to quickly navigate and change their settings. 

Canon photographers rejoice! Our favourite joy stick is back! Although it’s easy to use the LCD screen for moving and controlling the auto-focus (AF) point, the joy stick gives us photographers another option when using the camera especially when we are looking through the viewfinder to photograph our subjects. Fast and accurate AF point movement on both LCD screen and viewfinder, making our photography easier and faster.

Dual card slots are back, another feature that photographers would like to have it (the earlier EOS R and EOS RP have single card slots) back on the EOS R series cameras. With two SD card slots, you can record them separately, this would be most welcomed by working professionals. 

Powered by the LP-E6NH battery (you can still use the LP-E6 and LP-E6N batteries), providing more juice for your photography and videography. Just like the Canon EOS R, there is also a cover protecting the sensor when the EOS R6 is switched off. 

Technology 

Photography 

One of the key features that I like about the Canon EOS R6 is the auto-focus (AF) capabilities. It’s powered by new DIGIC X and CMOS sensor inherited from Canon flagship professional DSLR EOS-1DX Mark III. AF speed is fast and accurate, up to 20 FPS. Animal detection AF is excellent in most cases. The Dual Pixel CMOS AF II combined with the fast processing speed of the DIGIC X processor brought about big improvements in the EOS R6 AF capability. 

The AF is responsive and fast when changing from viewfinder to LCD screen. Using the joystick allows easy movement of AF point/zone to the subject when looking through the viewfinder. The ISO is from 100 to 102,400, my personal tolerance level is around ISO 51,200 that I find it usable.

Eye tracking is fast and accurate, improved from Canon EOS R, making portraiture photography fast and ease of use to get the subject’s eyes sharp and accurate. The Animal detection AF is welcomed by wildlife photographers, the speed, accuracy and ease of usage. 

AF – People / Animals / No priority 

AF – Eye tracking / Spot AF / 1-point / Expand AF area / Expand AF area : around / Zone AF / Large Zone AF : Vertical / Large Zone AF : Horizontal

The Large Zone AF: Vertical and Large Zone AF: Horizontal are two interesting AF selections that can be chosen by the photographer. These two selections would be helpful in animal/wildlife photography.

Servo AF 

Case 1 – Versatile multi purpose setting

Case 2 – Continue to track subjects, ignoring possible obstacles

Case 3 – Instantly focus on subjects suddenly entering AF points

Case 4 – For subjects that accelerate or decelerate quickly

Videography

In the modern world today, video has risen in prominence and significance with the rise of social media and internet usage. A modern digital camera is no longer just for photography, it now can produce excellent videos as well. 

On the Canon EOS R6, it’s easy to navigate and use the movie recording function. You can shoot in different modes, from 4K to FHD that would be sufficient for most leisure and serious amateur users, and 4K might be enough for those shooting commercial videos/short films too. The video AF is fast, accurate and responsive, easy to use too.  

4K 50p / 4K 25p / FHD 50p / FHD 25p Standard (IPB) / FHD 25p Light (IPB)

Video works shot with Canon EOS R6 

Although I spent more time on photography with the Canon EOS R6, I did spent some time shooting videos with the new camera. Here are two videos that were shot by me, editing was handled by Isaac Ong, a fellow photographer. Isaac has been an enormous help to me, in the videography/filmmaking department, taking some workload off me.

Community Cats

For cat lovers, I reckon you would love this video, great captions and text by Isaac, who is a big cat lover too!

BBQ with Chef Keith

Chef Keith is a personal friend of mine, I had shot a number of times on his cooking, plating and . However, this is the first time that I am doing a video of his BBQ cooking and I was happy to capture it down inside this short video with the Canon EOS R6.

5-axis In-Body Image Stabiliser 

There is the new 5-axis In-Body Image Stabiliser, coupled with Optical Image Stabiliser on the appropriate lens attached, this powerful function and features helps us photographers and videographers in our shoots that we sometimes don’t realise about the two features in action when using the Canon EOS R6.

From low light handheld photography to handheld videography work, the new 5-axis In-Body Image Stabiliser coupled with an appropriate Canon lens with Image Stabiliser are going to be a huge asset for the photographer and videographer using the Canon EOS R6. 

Connectivity 

The Canon EOS R6 has both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity functions, allowing you to connect with your other smart devices such as your smartphone or tablet. Whether it’s for remote control shooting or file transfer, you can be assured of the seamless connectivity. 

EOS R6 with RF lenses 

During the time I had with the Canon EOS R6 camera for review, I had the opportunity to test out and review two RF lenses as well. They were the RF24-70mm f/2.8L IS USM and RF70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM lenses.

The new generation of RF lenses are excellent with its optics, AF speed and the seamless integration with the EOS R camera series. There is also the RF15-35mm f/2.8L IS USM lens, with these three lenses, they are the new age holy trinity lenses that would be welcomed by most working/commercial photographers, as well as for the serious amateurs too.

I would share more of my insights, thoughts and views on the two Canon RF lenses in two separate review articles for them. Meanwhile, you can view photos shot with the Canon RF70-200mm f/2.8 L IS USM in this Flickr photo album and the Canon RF24-70mm f/2.8 L IS USM in the other Flickr photo album.

TGH Photography x Canon EOS R6 Explorer Series Production

Ever since I was exposed to the world of exploring, wanderlust and traveling from a young age, I have a strong passion for exploring and documenting my photographs and stories. This style might be old school stuff to the younger generation, it means something special to me. 

I created special TGH Photography x Canon cameras explorer series whenever I have a Canon camera for review, giving rise to this particular TGH Photography x Canon EOS R6 Explorer Series Production. Here are my mini stories from the Canon EOS R6 Explorer Series Production.

Thoughts and views

• Equipped with 20.1MP, it’s suitable and able to handle most photography genres and usage
• Powered by new DIGIC X and CMOS sensor inherited from Canon flagship professional DSLR EOS-1DX Mark III.
• You can shoot up to 20 FPS
• A most welcome return for dual card slots and joy stick 
• New 5-axis In-Body Image Stabiliser x Optical Image Stabiliser: powerful function and features helps us photographers in our shoots
• The expanding EOS R family + RF lenses lineup is ushering in a new era of photography – Born to Rule
• Animal / Wildlife photography rejoice – A much improved AF and Animal Detection AF (popular with wildlife photographers, EOS R6 with prime telephoto lens or RF100-500mm)
• AF on small wildlife (e.g. small birds) can be tricky at times, there were times whereby AF wasn’t accurate. 
• You can shoot up to 4K 50p videos, sufficient for most leisure and serious amateur users, might be enough for those shooting commercial videos/short films too
• A powerful and fast mirrorless camera for professionals and serious amateurs. Similar to 6D Mark II technical specifications.

For current Canon photographers, it would be a familiar sight and feel for you. It’s easy to use and handle, from the camera body and to menu interface on the LCD screen. The Canon EOS R6 brings the best of both worlds together – Photography and Videography.

From Reimagine Optical Excellence (EOS R), to Reimagine Your Potential (EOS RP) and now Born to Rule (EOS R6 and EOS R5), the world of Canon EOS R cameras are getting more exciting with a full-frame mirrorless camera suitable for each and everyone of you, from the professionals to amateur/leisure photographers.

In my personal humble opinion, I would recommend Canon EOS R6 full-frame mirrorless camera for the following segments: 

• Photographers (especially professionals and serious amateurs) who are moving over from DSLR setup to mirrorless setup
• Upgrading from entry level DSLRs or entry level mirrorless cameras 
• Serious amateurs who love to explore and expand their photography further and wider
• Users whose emphasis is on photography first, videography second

Would this Canon EOS R6 be my next camera upgrade/change? Or would I go for the Canon EOS R5?

Although my current Canon cameras setup are the Canon EOS-1DX Mark II and EOS RP, there is a possibility that I might add either the EOS R6 or EOS R5 to my setup down the road, or I might wait out for future Canon EOS R series announcements before making a decision on my next upgrade/change.  

As a current Canon EOS-1DX Mark II and Canon EOS RP user, the Canon EOS R6 is a very familiar camera to me, not just in the aesthetics and layout similar to the Canon EOS RP, that’s also the inherited capabilities and technical features from the Canon EOS-1DX series. 

I would share my thoughts and views on both Canon EOS R5 and R6 in a separate article after my EOS R5 review article is published. Meanwhile, you can view more photographs shot with Canon EOS R6 here inside this Flickr photo album.

I would like to thank Canon Singapore for the opportunity to review the Canon EOS R6 full-frame mirrorless camera.
