Canon EOS R6 Mark II vs Panasonic Lumix S9
The Canon EOS R6 Mark II and the Panasonic Lumix S9 side by side, computed from this guide's catalogue.
Which to pick
Pick the Panasonic Lumix S9 if you want a newer model (2024 against 2022), which usually means better autofocus and video; more lenses made for it in this guide (158 against 99); and a lighter body (486 g against 670 g). On these specs the Canon EOS R6 Mark II has no clear advantage: choose it if the price, the handling or a lens you own decides it. If you already own Canon RF or L-Mount lenses, the camera on that mount saves you buying them again.
