The Canon EOS R6 Mark II is the best mirrorless camera we’ve tested. This enthusiast-level hybrid camera can handle a wide range of photography and video work, whether you’re a hobbyist or a professional. It’s equipped with a high-resolution full-frame sensor with plenty of dynamic range and good low-light noise handling, not to mention In-Body Image Stabilization (IBIS) for steadier handheld shots. Its highly efficient autofocus system and 40 fps e-shutter burst speed make it great for faster subjects. On top of that, it has advanced video features such as 10-bit 4:2:2 4k recording up to 60 fps without cropping.

The biggest downside here is that Canon is still building its line of RF lenses, and third-party options are still in the works. If you’d rather invest in a more established lens ecosystem, the Sony α7 IV is an easy alternative. It is very similar to the R6 Mark II, with a slightly higher resolution sensor and an AF system that is just as, if not more, reliable. However, it has a slower maximum burst speed, especially when shooting uncompressed RAW files, and it can only shoot 4k 60fps video with a large crop. But we’re really cutting corners here. Each of these cameras will suit you well, depending on your ergonomic preferences and lenses.
