Canon’s EOS R6 Mark II is a major yet, in some ways, a subtle upgrade over the original R6. The new R6 Mark II is faster and more capable than the R6 in most regards, and it addresses several of the limitations found in the original model.
Carrying on a tradition we started last year, PetaPixel has gathered its staff together to discuss the things they know, not just think, will take place over the course of the next calendar year. We're ready to be very, very wrong.

The Canon EOS R3 has been one of the most discussed cameras of the year, but until this point, it appeared to only exist on paper, in renders, and in the minds of Canon engineers -- but not anymore. In a video published by Gordon Laing, he shows that the camera is indeed real and not just vaporware.
