We have been trying hard to find out an announcement timeframe for the Canon EOS R6 Mark II. We have been told that the plan is to announce the camera before the end of 2022, exactly when is unknown. We don't know if the EOS R6 Mark II will ship in 2022.
There are people that base buying decisions on future products, and we receive a lot of “should I wait for the R62 instead of getting the R6”?
Based on history, these are the things to consider when asking this question.
- The Canon EOS R6 Mark II will cost more than the EOS R6 at launch
- The Canon EOS R6 Mark II will likely be hard to come by for a few months after release.
- The Canon EOS R6 will likely receive a rebate of some kind.
- You can buy and shoot with an EOS R6 today, we can't say for sure able to shoot with an EOS R6 Mark II.
- If video is your focus, we think that the EOS R6 Mark II will be more like a “C” version of R6 without the active cooling.

Anyways, I though that this new R6 mkII would come after the R1 is announced (this one will bring quad pixel, probably). The actual R6 is already a great tool for photographers.
I’ll wait and see what the R6mkii and the R8 (if it comes) bring to the table. Better AF, faster FPS and maybe IBIS are my main focus coming from the R, since I shoot more and more sports than I used to.
If the mkII has the stacked sensor from the R3 I might preorder asap. If not, I might be tempted getting the R6 for a lower price point.
Even without a stacked sensor that would be pretty desirable.

I’m probably at CR:-99 on this one
Shut up and take my money Canon! :ROFLMAO:
I'll order one on day one
I used to have the EF 135 2 and used it a lot for kids photography. I found the fl to be great to take photos of my daughter playing around.
I have sold the EF 135 time ago in anticipation of a new RF version.
The main issue with a 300 2.8 would be how to justify it to the swmbo :ROFLMAO: Unfortunately it would be way too big to pass it as "c'mon honey it's one of my lenses, had it forever!"
The Canon RF 300mm f/2.8L IS USM appears to be getting closer [CR3]
