I am ready to upgrade my 5d Mark III and am looking at the R6 Mark II.

I can get the R6 Mark II for 2500 Euro but the R6 body now for 1500 Euro. Both from the same respectable shop who is clearly dumping the R6.

I am 99% making pictures but especially look at the R6 for the good AF to get better dog pictures.

Is R6 mark II worth the 1000 Euro differences??

If you're after the 24mp, no.

If you're after better AF, no. The R6 AF system is one of the best among Canon bodies.

If you're gunning for better high ISO image quality, no.

If you want a more "future proof" camera body, yes.

If you want better video features, no recording limit, less overheating, etc., yes.

I made the switch recently from the R6 to the R6Mii. Am I happy with the decision? Yes I am. Was it absolutely necessary? No.

My favorite feature in the R6Mii that's not in the R6? Auto subject selection. Don't have to switch from people to animal to vehicle to typewriter to boulder to crickets anymore Choose auto, and the camera switches between people and animals and cars flawlessly.
