We’ve already learned or speculated a lot about the new Canon 6D Mark II, and now it’s officially out. Canon has released their latest full-frame camera, which brings full-frame camera accessible to a wider number of users. It’s an improved version of its predecessor 6D, and it’s aimed at a wide range of shooters – from those looking for their first full-frame camera to more experienced full-frame users.

According to Canon, this camera was designed particularly with the enthusiast photographers in mind. As I mentioned, it’s a new and improved version of the 6D, and these are some of the benefits over the older model:

  • Optical Viewfinder with a 45-point All Cross-type AF System1
  • Dual Pixel CMOS AF with Phase-detection & Full HD 60p
  • DIGIC 7 Image Processor, ISO 100-40000
