Our Verdict
Canon EOS R6 Mark II
Canon EOS R6 Mark III
The Canon EOS R6 Mark III is an upgrade over the Canon EOS R6 Mark II in most areas, though the Mark II still has a few advantages. The Mark III's higher-resolution sensor captures more detail with less noise, and it has a much wider dynamic range in video. It also adds internal 7K RAW recording, uncropped 4k at 120 fps, a CFexpress slot, a full-size HDMI port, and a much deeper buffer. On the other hand, the Mark II's tracking autofocus is more accurate, and its face tracking in video is more reliable. It also shows less rolling shutter and lasts longer when recording video.
