Our editorial take on the Canon EOS 6D Mark II

The Canon EOS 6D Mark II positions itself as the brand's accessible full-frame DSLR, adding meaningful upgrades over the original 6D. Reviewers agree that the 26.2MP sensor, DIGIC 7 processor, and 45-point all-cross-type autofocus system represent clear steps forward. The articulated touchscreen stands out as a rare feature in this segment and earns consistent praise for handling and usability. Autofocus performance and burst shooting also see notable improvements, while image quality at low ISOs is clean and benefits from built-in lens correction with Canon glass.

At $1,999 for the body, the 6D Mark II fits neatly into Canon's lineup as an entry point for full-frame shooters or an upgrade from APS-C. The inclusion of GPS, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi with NFC adds connectivity that competitors often skip. Full HD video at 60 fps with Dual Pixel CMOS AF and Movie Servo AF rounds out a capable multimedia package. Reviewers note the camera's dust and water resistance, though the spec sheet stops short of calling it fully weather-sealed. For photographers prioritizing Canon ergonomics, a vari-angle screen, and solid full-frame basics without breaking into the 5D tier, the 6D Mark II delivers on its brief.

Best for: Canon shooters seeking an affordable full-frame DSLR with a versatile touchscreen and strong autofocus for stills and video.
