Right now, you can save 20% during the major sale event — a discount that certainly makes this splurge-worthy camera much more accessible than usual. I’ve been researching this camera myself for a while, and this sale just might be the nudge we all need to finally hit “add to cart.”

Why you want the Canon EOS R6 Mark II in your arsenal

The is a top choice for photographers and videographers alike because of its 24.2-megapixel full-frame CMOS sensor, which delivers impressive image quality with incredible detail and dynamic range.

If you’re into action shots, you’ll love its high-speed continuous shooting capabilities. It has 12 fps using the mechanical shutter and 40 fps with the electronic shutter. If that sounds like jibber jabber to you, beginners, it means you can capture fast-moving subjects easily. This camera’s RAW burst mode also supports up to 30 fps with pre-shooting. You’ll appreciate that for those critical moments that happen in a split second. You grab all the shots you need and curate your faves later.

Canon’s autofocus is also another game changer. The Dual Pixel CMOS AF II covers up to 100% of the frame with 1,053 AF zones. This camera can automatically detect and track people, animals, and even vehicles if that’s your market. Taking pics of inanimate objects? This camera also recognizes those just the same with or without your steady grip.

Lucky for Canon (and you), reviewers are raving about this camera’s image quality, speed, and autofocus performance. Experts love its capabilities, especially for both photos and 4K video, but non-pros can enjoy it, too. It’s fairly user-friendly, especially with the Canon app, and even beginners can make the most of it with a bit of practice.

It's therapeutic to hit the trail on a rainy day, when the droplets patter from leaf to leaf. That said, when there is rain, there are also puddles.
