The Canon EOS 6D Mark II is a 26.2-megapixel
Impressions from the Canon press event were mixed, with many saying the camera is "a sizeable upgrade, but feels dated".[5][6] Critics point out that the 6D does not support 4K video shooting and its 45 AF points are dense around the center, resulting in slower focus and recompose maneuvers when photographing moving subjects.[7]
Main features
New features over the EOS 6D are:
- New 26.2 megapixelCMOS sensor with Dual Pixel CMOS AF, (total 27.1 megapixels), instead of 20mp CMOS sensor with contrast detect.
- DIGIC 5+, ISO 100 – 25600, H 51200, H2 102400).
- New 7560-pixel RGB+IR metering sensor to aid the AF system
- 45 cross-type AF points, compared to 11, with center point as the only cross-type.
- At f/8, autofocusing is only possible with the center AF point. However, 27 will autofocus when the body is attached to only 2 lens/teleconverter combination with a maximum aperture of f/8. The EF 100–400mm f/4.5–5.6L IS II lens, with Extender EF 1.4x III and EF 200–400mm f/4L IS Extender 1.4x lens, used with Extender EF 2x III (AF at 27 focus points, and the central 9 points acting as cross-type points). The EOS 6D Mark II is the first non-professional full-frame EOS body that can autofocus in this situation; previous non-professional bodies could not autofocus if the maximum aperture of an attached lens/teleconverter combination was smaller than f/5.6 (This feature had previously been included in three non-professional APS-C bodies: first the 80D, followed by the 77D and EOS 800D/Rebel T7i.)
