Review on 📷 Wi-Fi Enabled Canon EOS 6D Mark II Digital SLR Camera Body by James Holker

I have this as a backup for my 5D MIV, mostly for nature photography but also for everything else and I love it. The focus speed and accuracy is on par with the very responsive 80D which I'll be selling soon after going full frame. The narrow distribution of focus points isn't ideal, but it's fairly easy to get used to, especially when shooting static subjects to focus on and recompose. And it's much better than the original 6D. In fact, the 6D II has many new features that make it so much better than the original. This fact forced me to replace the existing 6D, not least because of the tilting touchscreen, which helps me a lot with macro photography of wildlife, including venomous snakes. I'll be using it often for this purpose and I'm sure the images will be even better than the 80D with 100mm macro (although at full frame I'll need to get a little closer for equivalent shots). Upscaling is also a great achievement, allowing you to crop without losing sharpness (also helps with those snakes you sometimes don't want to get too close to). The relatively small and light dimensions of the case are another plus point, especially for a redundant case. One of the reasons I wanted a different full frame body is because in the field I usually mount a 100-400mm lens on a 5D MIV so I'm always ready to shoot a bird or other wildlife. Having a second mounted body for landscapes, landscapes and other close-ups - relatively light but high definition - is essential for my outdoor travels as I like to go out with two mounted bodies. I don't want the weight (or cost) of a second 5D MIV to weigh me down. It works great in this type of lighting. The camera's publicized lack of dynamic range isn't very apparent to me when photographing landscapes and nature in general, which accounts for a large part of its use. I just don't see the problem, just as I often don't see minor differences in "sharpness" as defined by that one particular MP testing website that are significant in the real world. For mission-critical purposes, such as when the light in a landscape is very widely spread, I still often choose HDR, which expands the dynamic range far more than any camera can handle. Everything else about the 6D II - responsiveness, focus speed and accuracy, wonderfully quiet shutter, crisp images, touchscreen, intuitiveness and so on - are all important to me and a good reason for my upgrade. If you want to go full screen with APS-C, this is probably your best bet (Canon). For those who already shoot full frame, this camera is a great support.
