My Canon R6 Mark II offers a 40fps electronic burst with full AF and AE tracking via Dual Pixel AF II.

It tracks subjects more reliably than Sony's masked hybrid AF, so you capture fast action without missing critical moments in wildlife, sports, or video.

Also, with the Dual Pixel RAW on my Canon R6 II, I can tweak focus and bokeh after the shot, which is something even the latest Sony cameras simply can't do.

And, no, aftermarket software cannot replicate Canon's Dual Pixel RAW tweaks on Sony files.

Canon's proprietary Dual Pixel CMOS AF II uses phase-detect autofocus on every pixel to deliver smoother and more reliable subject tracking for action, wildlife, and video than Sony's masked-pixel system.

Your Canon R6 Mark II can correct focus breathing directly in the camera when using Canon RF lenses.

Focus breathing is the slight unwanted zoom effect that happens as the lens changes focus, and it is especially noticeable in video. Sony cameras require you to try to either crop the frame or fix the problem later using video editing software, which doesn't always work or work well.

Canon’s color science produces more natural and flattering skin tones than Sony’s typically clinical rendering.

Photographer Usman Dawood reached this conclusion after direct side-by-side testing in “Is Sony’s Color Science Really That Bad?,” Petapixel, October 9, 2018.

He wrote that Canon “does a significantly better job when it comes to skin tones and is overall more accurate too,” while Sony files often add unflattering yellow and green tones.

The same advantage was examined in depth by reviewer Dan Havlik in “Canon Skin Tones vs Sony Skin Tones: Which Are Better?,” Shutterbug magazine, July 31, 2019.

And, no, nothing has changed lately with the latest versions of Sony's sensors.

Photographer Adam Waheed concluded this in “Sony vs Canon: Which is Best Choice for Photographers 2026,” RetouchingZone.com, January 20, 2026.

He states Canon delivers “perfect” skin tones with a consistent, pleasing glow regardless of skin type—an edge Sony does not match as consistently.

Hey there, just took off my Peak Design Plate from the downside of my Canon R6M2 after 2 years. And realized there a little cracks. Do you think it works as a warranty case??!

Hello everyone. I’m trying to find my path for photography and any advice would be appreciated. Thank you very much.

I've got this old Hardigg case from a military surplus store that I want to use for transportation of my camera(s) and lenses and finally figured out the type of foam I want, but I would really like to see some examples of what other people have put together.

The foaming plan to use (not what's in it currently) is called Cross Linked Polyethylene Foam, Black, 4 lbs/cu. ft.

I think I want to run 2" thick around the exterior walls, but might go with 1" inside the case so it doesn't eat too much space inside the case.

Has anyone here ever built up a case like this for their gear like this?

I was alerted to this update availability when I opened the Canon Camera Connect app on my android phone.

It's installing on my camera now, but thought others might not know about this release yet.

🙂👍

I just received my replacement eye cup for my R6II and how it fit perfectly and creates such an improved seal around my eye socket, blocking out the extreme light around me here in central Florida.

And, I got it from AliExpress for $18.85 with free shipping and it was here in a week.

They call it the KIWI soft silicone long camera viewfinder eyepiece eye cup for Canon R5 R5C R6 R6 Mark II eye shade protector.

I wish I had been able to find one like this for my last camera, which was a Canon R. But, I never could find one that was listed as fitting it.

I'm running a Canon R6 Mark II, RF/EF adapter with a Breakthrough Photography X4 CPL (Circular Polarizer) filter, Canon EF 2x II Extender and a Sigma 60-600mm f/4.5-6.3 DG OS HSM Sports lens on a Manfrotto 546GB tripod with a 504HD head.

How does this sound to grab some photos of the moon to those that is familiar with these things?
