Some reviewers feel it is outdated compared to newer options

Verdict

The Canon EOS 6D Mark II is a full-frame DSLR camera that offers solid upgrades over its predecessor, including a better autofocus system for both stills and video, more resolution, and a vari-angle touch LCD. It delivers excellent image quality, with little apparent noise or graininess present in images and an okay dynamic range. However, some reviewers feel that the camera is outdated compared to newer mirrorless options, and the battery life is not great. It is recommended for those who prefer the traditional DSLR body style and full-frame sensor, but those looking to invest in a new system may want to consider a mirrorless option.

I would miss 120p and I do miss 120p but I could get by with this, this looks great. Slowing down to 60p is still super slow so it wouldn't be a game ...

Canon EOS 6D Mark II | Long Term Review | 4K

And so my kind of in review on the 6D Mark II is that I think that it will make a lot of users very happy.

People who switched from DSLR to Mirrorless, what are some unexpected downsides that you experienced?

Colors are better, low-light performance is way better(which is saying a lot because the 6D Mark II is a good low-light camera), autofocus is absolutely bonkers in comparison, and the lenses are phenomenal. Also, seeing how Canon is clearly getting toward mirrorless cameras being the future of their primary line-up, the value of my camera and RF lenses is going to hold a lot better than if I continued to invest in their DSLR bodies and EF glass.

6d2 vs RP at same price

I went from original 6D to RP... 6D Mark II had a better battery and marginally better frame rate... That's about it. Both bodies have a mostly better sensor than the original 6D (noise is a bit worse, but overall quality and resolution are better), they also both have a flippy screen.

90D vs. 6D MKII as upgrade from 200d

6d mark ii is a beast, it’s a really nice camera and it’s full frame, personally I like the image that full frame gives me, but that’s personal preference. The pro to full frame is a nicer image (in my opinion) and you’re able to take advantage of better glass, that being said, full frame glass is expensive.

Which Camera should I upgrade to?

While the 6DII was great, performed well and I made quite a bit of money with it, in retrospect, I should've stuck with the 80D. If I still shot with Canon today, I'd take a 90D over the 6DII any day.
