Canon EOS R6 vs Canon EOS R6 Mark II

The Canon EOS R6 and the Canon EOS R6 Mark II side by side, computed from this guide's catalogue.

Which to pick

Pick the Canon EOS R6 Mark II if you want more resolution, for cropping and big prints (24.2 against 20.1 MP) and a newer model (2022 against 2020), which usually means better autofocus and video. On these specs the Canon EOS R6 has no clear advantage: choose it if the price, the handling or a lens you own decides it.
