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. Combined with the DIGIC X Image Processor, this professional digital camera has an ISO range of 100-102400, expandable to a whopping 204800, so it performs well in low-light conditions.

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.

What reviewers are saying

Okay, okay, we know—before you buy anything, you head straight for the reviews to see if buyers don’t regret their purchase.

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.

This simple camping trick keeps bugs away without harsh chemicals
Looking to keep the bugs away with a natural solution? Try sage
Camping around a fire

Modern chemical bug repellents, while generally safe, can be a great way to keep away those pesky mosquitoes. However, these repellants often contain harsh chemicals, such as DEET, picaridin, and permethrin, which have been known to cause skin irritation risks, poison water sources, or even be toxic to wildlife. The NIH reports that these chemical repellents are not safe for public health and should be used with caution. Natural bug repellents like tea tree oil work great when diluted and sprayed onto skin, but what can you do to keep the bugs away from your campsite? Here's my sage advice for saying "shoo fly, don't bother me."
Use sage to keep the bugs away

Sage is a common herb that acts as a natural bug repellent due to several compounds such as camphor, 8-cineole, and thujone, which produce a strong aroma that repels insects by overwhelming their sensory systems. It has an herbaceous aroma that's both strong and earthy, and can often be slightly peppery or woody in scent. Personally, I find it to be more pleasant than tea tree oil, so it can be a great alternative.

When you're just getting started with golf, you may not realize that there are several different kinds of golf balls, each tailored for a specific skill level, swing speed, or other priorities. The choices can be overwhelming, but they boil down to three kinds: two piece, three piece, and four piece. So now you might be wondering, what golf ball should I use? In this guide, we're going to discuss the three major kinds of golf balls and how to choose the best one for you.

When choosing a golf ball, you'll first need to assess your skill level, swing speed, priorities for distance control, materials, and budget. These five factors aren't the only things to consider, but they will get you to a great starting point. The key is to understand the construction and performance characteristics of each golf ball. In a nutshell, two-piece, also known as low-compression balls, prioritize distance and are great for beginners. Three-piece golf balls have better control for more intermediate players, while still giving you great distance. And lastly, the four-piece golf balls, or high-compression balls, are perfect for advanced players for their precision. Here's the breakdown:
