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.
I have R6 Mark ii and love it. It is better in every scenario with R5 except mega pixels. Megapixels come in handy when you do wildfire or nature photography. This camera 40 FPS usable electronic shutter helped me to take pictures which I never dreamed of. 🙂. Good luck 🍀.

Great camera if you're already into Canon. Fantastic, even.

If you're just starting out with no lenses, I'd go Sony instead.

Coming from someone who used sony for a while I like canon better. Things just works easier and less tweaking out of camera photos... if you like the higher dynamic range then go Sony. For the casual go canon.

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.
These Time Machine comments are the most irritating and useless retorts being overused in this forum.

Haven't followed dslr for a while, so this R6 is like 6D range, I guess? Not like 5D2?

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
Not cool. Canon has told me they keep track of the SNs given to them as being upgraded. Doing what you propose might affect some legitimate owner from getting the upgrade discount in the future. To make your idea up-and-up, I'd say find a buy-it-now listing for a dirt cheap "parts-only" camera from ebay, use that serial number for your call to Canon, but also buy the old one from the listing so it's actually yours.

Sony doesn't even have higher dynamic range anymore, Canon caught up with the EOS R5 and R6. I borrowed a Sony A7III for a week, it was a pain in the butt to use. Touchscreen but no touch operation, ridiculous.

RF 24-105mm f/4L, best all around lens.

Yeah but no, the R6II beats an 5D Mark IV in every regard. It's a way higher class than the crippled 6D and 6D2 were (which you can rather compare with the R8). In some specs it even outshines the R5, like 40 fps burst and 1/16000 electronic shutter.
The only things that set the R5 apart are higher megapixels, higher res screen/viewfinder and a top screen.

So are comments claiming all these amazing past discounts that no one can seem to cough up a link to...so it negates any claim for "historical price tracking" or "awareness".

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 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 don't see that price in a quick search. The first gen R6 is currently out of stock at $1399, but has been as low as $1099 refurbished via Canon
You fail to mention the most valuable feature of the R6 over the R8 is the better build quality and weather sealing. The R8 is basically a toy, you breathe on it too much it will die, and don't expect Canon to replace it under warranty. Most consumers are used to the durability of smart phones and think they can take something like the R8 on a beach or boat trip or a hike but it's essentially and indoor only camera, which may be fine for some people.
