Editor's note: This review was originally published in October 2017. The Canon EOS 6D Mark II remains available for purchase and is a capable full-frame DSLR, but some context — such as comparisons to other cameras of the time — reflects the market as it stood at launch.

Canon's 6D range provides an entry-level option into the world of full-frame DSLR photography, and this Mark II version further explores these possibilities. Low light photography is a real strength of this camera, thanks to a 26.2MP full-frame CMOS sensor and a top ISO of 40000. Dual Pixel CMOS AF, the DIGIC 7 processor, and a 45-point cross-type AF system all combine to ensure you can quickly find and maintain focus as you shoot. The extra-long battery life keeps you clicking for longer, while the vari-angle touchscreen is perfect for discovering new angles and making the most of the Full HD video mode.
With the Canon EOS 6D Mark II it's easier than ever to enter the world of high-quality full-frame photography without a professional-level price tag. At the heart of this EOS body is a superb 26.2MP full-frame CMOS sensor that produces clear, detailed images right through to ISO 40000 — great news for low light enthusiasts. Finding and maintaining your focal point is second nature, thanks to Dual Pixel AF, Canon's DIGIC 7 processor, and a 45-point cross-type AF system.
It isn't just stills where the 6D Mark II excels. Full HD 60p video benefits from Touch AF and the smooth, speedy focus transitions made possible by Dual Pixel AF. For more adventurous filmmakers, in-camera 4K time-lapse lets you set up on a tripod and create stunning visual content without needing to be a master editor. The vari-angle touchscreen LCD makes framing both stills and video from tricky angles a genuinely enjoyable experience.
