Jumping in - Canon has a loyalty/upgrade program that's super easy to use. They provide 10% off refurbished or 20% off new cameras, but you need to provide the serial number of an older camera. I just upgraded to the R6 MKII and got 20% off the sale price using the serial number off my old 1Ds Mk2 (It' waaaay beyond serviceable life). They don't ask for the camera to be sent in (or at least didn't in this case since it's not repairable)

Call (866) 443-8002, select option 2. It can only be done over the phone.

Another option to consider -- the non-L Canon RF 24-105mm f/4-7.1 IS STM tends to be pretty close to the performance of the f/4L, at a mere fraction of the cost. It's so close, that unless you're pixel peeping, most would have a hard time telling the difference.

For a first camera and first lens, I'd rather see someone spend $220 (it's been cheaper refurbished during previous sales) than $800, especially when the performance wouldn't be easily noticed by someone starting. And the non-L is lighter, easier to carry.

And for someone's first camera, $1800 R6mkII is a bit of a enthusiast's price for a beginner's body. I'd probably look at the R10, RP, or R8.

(each piece of the below has been cheaper during previous sales, but since we don't have a time machine....)

A real nice powerhouse would be the $1100 R8 + 24-105 non-L for $220 and $500 for the RF 100-400. Combined....that's just a few dollars more than the R6 mkII body alone. You get a very excellent combination that's absolutely no slouch, covering quite a range of focal lengths on a budget. Toss in a RF 50mm f/1.8 at $100 for low-light performance and that's a trio worth keeping.

If you wanted to save a few dollars, one could always get the Canon RP at $600....saving an additional $500. Though I think the R8 is a bargain for what one gets, as it inherited many of the performance features from the top-of-class pro-tier R3.

If quality was one's biggest consideration...with the R6mkII + 24-105 L's total combined cost of $2600 being the max budget... one could make a case for getting the pro-tier RF 85mm f/1.2 @ $1800 and spend the remaining $800 on the RP with $200 to spare.... (or if possible, squeeze $300 more for the R8). Regardless, that lens is an absolute delight, and will shine on any mirrorless body. Glass is more important than the body anyways.

At least THAT lens has a major difference than its non-L cousins, even if it's not intended "for beginners".

This is an extremely capable full-frame camera that has weather sealing, in-body stabilization, a high megapixel sensor, and over 1,000 focus points in the auto-focus system. This is intended for serious photography or a camera you can buy once and have great capability for a long, long time.

You have to call and purchase. If you purchase and call, they will cancel the purchase and redo the whole process.

Yeah I thought the same thing, but I misremembered the R6 mark 1 deal for $1100 last christmas as the mark ii price. Cheapest for the mark ii was $1759 from expired listings.

$1800 is too expensive for me. I just grabbed the 6D mark ii for $700 during that christmas sale

The R6II is almost a mini R3. Just no CFExpress though and smaller. The focus speed/capabilities are much better than the R5 imo and I own R6II, R5, and R3.

because resellers like you suck and buy these cameras at those cheap prices and sell them at 3x the cost on ebay
You got that right, I sold them all and made a big profit. God bless America woot
Quote from LavenderPickle7682 View quoted comment :
Then go back a few years ago in your time machine to pick up these supposed "deals" on these "Powershot" cameras - and of course, don't provide links to these said deals either.
I said a few years ago (like 4-5 years) how can I provide a link when it was a clearance sale as far as I remember.
Quote from Kithkin View quoted comment :
This particular camera is intended for professionals. If you don't need its dual card slots or IBIS the R8 is 90% of this camera for a lot less. For context, I paid more ~2k for a used R6 mark 1 at a similar point in its product cycle (a little over a year after its release).

The PowerShots... this is just a guess, but I imagine that's an offshoot of the renewed interest in film shooting. People are after old digital cameras with small sensors because they have the distinct "look" of the 2000s and early 2010s, which people with disposable income are nostalgic for.
I realized that much when I checked recent sold items on eBay. It's crazy paying that much for an old P&S camera.

Yup!!! Confirmed they just want the serial number (and don't want the camera back).
Does it have to be an old old camera, I have a Canon Eos R, will that work ?

Don't think so. The lowest prices I've ever seen from Canon's refurb stuff was last black friday / christmas. R6I: $1100, R6II: $1800 and R5: $2200.
Heard good things about R5. What aspects are R6ii inferior to R5 ?

Maybe an idea for those looking for an old canon camera serial number…

Look on eBay for older canon cameras and see if any of the pictures in the listing have a picture of the serial number?! Might be worth a shot

Big difference is 45mp on the R5 vs 24mp on the R6II. If you need to higher res sensor or want to shoot 8k than get the R5. The R6II has a better AF system (from the R3), faster shooting (40 vs 20 fps), still can shoot 4k/6k.

All the other differences between the two are minor like high res EVF and LCD on the R5. R5 is SD/CF, R6II is 2xSD.

What's the best camera for indie film making? I'm guessing the red magic 6k pro. Max budget $2500
