Re: 5D4 to Canon R6 mark ii thoughts and experiences

It will take a little time to adapt to the eye focus, which is wonderful but not perfect. Still just a computer trying to figure out what you want it to do. Most of the time it is right on but there will be times it won't find the eye or subject you want so you have to make it do that. You will have to change the way you approach things with an ML system. The good part is yo can quickly override Eye AF and shoot traditionally if you need to.

I loved my 5D4 but I'd never go back to a mirror system. No need to MFA which is huge, for me anyway. As an example I had the 5D4 and a 7D2. I sold my 5D4 and got the R. The AF was so amazing even with the poor fps my 7D2 never came out of the bag.

Since you are focusing on the sensor your EF lenses will perform better. Beware as you may get RF lens gasĀ 

I had an R5 which I sold and now I have the R7 and R6II.
