About

The EOS 6D Mark II w/ EF 85mm is a 26-megapixel camera with a kit lens that has a 35mm-equivalent focal length of 85mm (fixed). It has a 3-inch LCD (1,040,000 pixels) that swivels. It also includes a through-the-lens viewfinder, which is helpful when composing in bright light. Because it accepts interchangeable lenses, and includes a mirror and a through-the-lens viewfinder, we consider this model an SLR (single-lens reflex) camera. The camera's kit lens has a maximum aperture of f/1.8. The camera's shutter speed range is 30 seconds to 1/4000 of a second. The EOS 6D Mark II w/ EF 85mm stores photos and video on SD/SDHC/SDXC memory cards but has no on-board storage. It captures images as JPEG or RAW files at a top resolution of 6240 x 4160 and full HD-resolution video as MOV, MP4 files at a top resolution of 1920 x 1080 and a frame rate up to 60p. Like most digital cameras, this model comes with a proprietary rechargeable battery. This SLR has 45 autofocus points, 17 exposure modes, and an exposure compensation control that can be set at +/-5 EV. The EOS 6D Mark II w/ EF 85mm measures 5.8 inches wide by 4.5 inches high by 3.2 inches deep, and weighs 43 ounces (2.7 pounds) (with battery, memory card, strap, and tested lens).

Results in the following chart are gathered from Consumer Reports’ 2018 and 2019 Winter Surveys of 20,994 SLR cameras, owned by members who purchased a new device between 2010 and 2019.

Our predicted brand reliability ratings are based on a statistical model that estimates problem rates within the first 4 years of ownership, for SLR cameras that are not covered by an extended warranty or service contract. Higher ratings are indicative of better reliability. Brands receiving a red or orange rating cannot be recommended by CR at this time.

Our owner satisfaction ratings are based on the proportion of members who are extremely likely to recommend their SLR camera brand to friends and family.

Features

Full frame Full frame A full-frame image sensor is the size of one frame of 35mm film and significantly larger than sensors found in many other digital cameras. Often, this type of sensor handles a wider variety of lighting situations more accurately. It also limits the amount of visual noise that can distort and degrade an image.
Yes
Swivelling screen Swivelling screen A swivel screen allows you to frame difficult-angled photos in the camera’s LCD screen. It is also called an articulated display, which when used on a tripod allows you to tilt the LCD screen to avoid either having to stand on your toes or to crouch to the level of the LCD screen to be able to see it. A fully articulating screen allows you to shoot selfies and to see how it is framed when standing in front of the camera while shooting photos or video.
Yes
Hot shoe Hot shoe A hot shoe is located on top of the camera and is used to attach a flash unit and other compatible accessories. It is a bracket, which surrounds an electrical connection between camera and accessory for standard, brand-independent flash synchronization.
Yes
Memory card Memory card Memory cards indicates the types of memory cards a model can accept if it has a built-in memory-card reader for playback of MP3 audio files or JPEG picture files.
SD/SDHC/SDXC
Color space Color space This refers to computerized models of color ranges that a camera can reproduce. The two most common are sRGB and Adobe RGB. In terms of size, Adobe RGB has a larger color range than sRGB. Another model, ProPhoto RGB, has one of the largest ranges. Color spaces can generally be set via your SLR's menus.

PC flash sync jack PC flash sync jack Although the hot shoe is the most common method, you can also use this terminal to connect your flash to your SLR body.
No
Maximum aperture Maximum aperture The maximum aperture (lens opening) for wide and telephoto shots. A single number indicates that the camera does not have a zoom lens.
1.8
Touch screen Touch screen Display that is sensitive to finger contact, letting you select and move screen objects, launch programs, choose from menus, scroll through photo libraries, and the like. Some touchscreens have "multi-touch", letting you use more than one finger to resize and rotate objects.

35mm equivalent multiplier 35mm equivalent multiplier Many SLRs have sensors that are smaller than the actual size of one frame of 35mm film, which changes a lens's effective focal length. To determine the equivalent focal length, you multiply the lens's focal length by the appropriate multiplication factor. Most Nikon SLRs have a 1.5x factor, which changes the effective focal length of a 50mm lens to 75mm. An Olympus SLR's 2x factor would change a 50mm lens to 100mm.
