Hi,

I currently use a Canon M6 mark II with EF 70-200/2.8 and EF 100-400 II lenses to shoot outdoor sports.

If you’ve used something similar and migrated to an R6 or R7, I’d love to hear your experiences, specifically your keeper rates due to AF tracking. Was there a noticeable improvement when you switched?

thanks,

Vijay

AF-wise, the M6ii is hard to beat when doing your own tracking using Spot AF. I get close to 100% keepers shooting some of the toughest sports around (follow the included links)...

The R6 and R7 both have very impressive subject tracking Eye AF. They're a pleasure to shoot sports with. The R7's AF is more customizable, and you might be more used to the crop factor (coming from the M6ii). The R6 will produce cleaner output though (if you're not focal length limited).

Here's one of my first shoots with the R7 (and RF 70-200/2.8)...

R6 is similar.

ps. If you're having troubles with the M6ii's AF, maybe start a thread over in the M Forum.
