Canon Refurbished Cameras & Lenses: R6 Mark II (Body only)

Nope! I didn't need to but maybe that's because the camera serial I gave was way past his life cycle, the 30D.

Edit: Double post

Is this part of their website or do I need to call in?

You have to call the number and place the order with the representative over the phone.

Thanks! I had picked up an R8 just before Christmas and wouldn't mind expanding my RF lens collection. If the R6 Mii was this price back then, I would have snagged that. Hell, it may have been and I probably missed out. Guess I'll snag some extra batteries as well…from MPB or somewhere.

Yeah! Don't worry, I also bought a R8 during last month's promotional sale, but it's a fantastic camera so I've really been enjoying it and don't really regret it over the R6II. Been using it with my EF lenses adapted, but I'm excited for my RF 35mm I bought with from sale to come in. It'll make for a killer lightweight combo for photo and video I think, plus it has the advantages of being native.

I hear people buy Canon compact cameras in yard sales / flea markets for $10 just to use the serial number for the Canon upgrade program. I might buy a couple before Black Friday as well.

Thanks, been trying to get my hands on a Canon refurb RF 1.4x extender, but always out of stock.

Nice, I just bought the R50, RF 16mm F2.8, and the RF 50mm F1.8 with this deal. $777 before tax. Too bad the RF28mm F2.8 wasn't a part of this; I'll have to buy it used if I want it now.

EOS RP is $599. Good deal? I know it went for $549 on previous FP deal.

edit: Nice, got it for additional 10% discount after Canon upgrade program.

you're not going to get a better full frame camera at that price point if price is important.

As long as you understand its limitations, this camera is fantastic. The bad points are:

1) it's a slow shooter which means it's not great for fast objects or things like kids running around
2) the eye autofocus is good for decent lighting situations but in low light situations, it's terrible and not what the newer Canon cameras can do. like my R5 is way ahead in low light. so in low light situations, you're going to want to go to a point AF
3) i'll throw in battery life but then add that the batteries for this camera are so tiny and cheap that you can carry a bunch of them.
4) keep in mind the dynamic range when exposing your image. You don't want to be too far off. Some people like to way underexpose and then lift the shadows. This isn't the camera for that. I recommend if you're going to underexpose, don't go too far. I would expose for the highlights and then recover the shadows and you should be okay.
5) it's a terrible video camera. do not buy this if video is your main thing. it's serviceable as a 1080p camera but the 4k is bad. but compared to newer cameras, you see the limitations a lot.

I use the RP as a backup to my R5. As a studio camera, it's awesome because in studio you can control the conditions. Out and about, you can still do great with an RP but need to keep in mind the limitations.

But in any case, I would almost always pick the RP over any APS-C (except for Fuji) if I'm not photographing fast objects.

Thank you for the detailed answers! Coming from 6D Mk I, I opted for RP because of my budget and yes I'm buying this not for its video capabilities. I just need a full frame camera under $600 since my older Canon EF lenses are already suitable for full frame one.
