Canon eos r6 v vs canon eos r8 mark ii?

The Canon EOS R6 V and the Canon EOS R8 Mark II are both full-frame Canon RF mirrorless cameras announced in 2026, with in-body stabilisation, but they suit different people. The R6 V has 32.5 megapixels and is a video-first body with no viewfinder. The R8 Mark II has 24.2 megapixels and is the lighter camera, which is my pick if you mainly shoot stills and want something compact.

For everyday shooting on the R8 Mark II, the Canon RF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM makes a sensible all-rounder. For small, light portraits, try the Canon RF 50mm f/1.8 STM. If you're leaning towards the R6 V for video, the Canon RF 24-70mm f/2.8L IS USM is the zoom I'd reach for.
