As seen at normal image sizes below, the R6II pretty much makes the same images from ISO 50 (L) to ISO 51,200. The Chief, Lundy Lake, California, 1:49 P.M., 13 October 2023 Canon EOS R6II, RF 24-240mm IS USM at 55mm, f/8 at 1/160 at Auto ISO 100, -0.7 stops exposure compensation ( LV 13.4), Skylum Luminar Neo. More tech details. bigger or fit-to-screen. It seems minor unless you shoot every day as I do, and I love that the cards face the correct way with the label towards me.
You have to use a USB-C source; a USB-A to USB-C cord won't work. I prefer to use any USB C charger that meets the PD ("Power Delivery") standard. Robert Niessner wrote:I don't think so Rob.

I had planned to do this even before I shot the eclipse, since I realized the eclipse would be up in the sky at 9:22 AM and not make for much of an image by itself. Dawn over Lee Vining and Mono Lake as seen from Conway Summit, California, 7:02 A.M., 13 October 2023.

On the R6 MarkII you can run through the menus with the touch screen, or use the thumb nubbin. Push-in the nubbin or press SET to select things. I don't worry about it, but as a long-time rangefinder shooter, I don't leave my cameras uncapped facing up unattended on picnic tables all day, either. It's way more than printed specifications. Neither Nikon nor Sony measure-up to Canon overall. I've been shooting for over 50 years and what matters far more than specifications is how well a camera feels in your hands, how its images actually look and how well the camera just gets out of the way. The R6 MarkII is superb. Shooting and fiddling I get about 350-800 shots per charge, which is plenty. If I shot only long continuous sequences I'm sure I'd get thousands of shots per charge.Kim Janson wrote:Canon ... improved the battery a bit as battery chemistry has been improved a bit during the last 10 years, but not much. Clearly they should have gone for bigger batteries.
It's about as weather-sealed as a 6D series, which is good, but not for shooting out in the pouring rain all day like the 1DX Mk III. The display underlines whatever the camera is controlling automatically, and has no underline for what you've set manually. Simple! I like the green ONE SHOT AF boxes, but the blue SERVO AF boxes are a little weird. To me; green means go, not blue. Obviously Canon wants people to know whether or not they're in ONE SHOT or SERVO without having to look away from the picture. The LP-E6N battery was released in conjunction with the EOS 7D Mark II, but is compatible with any Canon DSLR designed for the LP-E6 battery, which includes: If your lens has no AF/MF switch, like the RF 24-240mm, select manual focus at MENU > AF 2> Focus mode > MF.Only if for some reason the R6 isn't finding the correct subject, then and only then I'll revert to the 1-point AF option and use the rear thumb nubbin to put that sensor wherever I want it. That's OK, because I turn off most of them so that the two modes I actually do use are easy to find. Do this at: Fv mode is like Program mode, but lets you set individually any or all of Shutter, Aperture, Exposure Compensation and/or ISO, while the other settings continue to set themselves automatically. You can set more than one at a time, and those you don't set will change automatically as needed to make the correct exposure. Cool, huh? Oddly the mode dial is farther forward than it is on the EOS RP, so you have to reach your thumb in a bit to get to it. I prefer when I can reach it from the rear of the camera, as I can on the EOS RP.
Ideally I'd prefer that all cameras simply provide a complete range of manual shutter speeds out to 18 hours or so rather than forcing us to piddle in menus, but as of 2023 Bulb timers are state of the art. Valero Station, Bridgeport, California, 5:12 P.M., 12 October 2023. Canon EOS R6II, RF 14-35mm f/4 L IS USM at 14mm, f/4 at 1/8 at Auto ISO 320 ( LV5.3), Skylum Luminar Neo. More tech details. bigger or fit-to-screen. The R6 Mark II is the world's best practical high-speed mirrorless camera. For full-time sports pros the R3 has no problems with rolling shutter distortion that you can get in the R6II, but the R3 costs twice as much to fix a subtlety most people wouldn't notice for action shots. I don't see any difference in action shots, and this has no effect with things that hold still. Almost all mirrorless cameras have rolling shutters, I don't worry about it. Even if the price was the same, I'd rather carry this lightweight R6II. If I can run the PCC4K with the older battery for 40 minutes, the new one will give me around 45 minutes. Personally I prefer my RF 24-240mm IS USM lens, which replaces both 24-70mm and 70-200mm lenses. The RF 24-240mm is also ultrasharp and is much easier than swapping between two lenses and weighs much less as well.What we see at the high magnifications below is that fine details go away as the ISO increases. This happens with all cameras (and our own eyes) and is an artifact of the noise reduction working harder as the ISO increases. Expect over 1,000 frames with JPG and HEIF, and about 100 RAW with a reasonably fast card, less with a slow card. Maybe in few years that will change when the electronics get more efficient, but for now we simply need bigger batteries.
Great Deal
