Canon EOS R vs Canon EOS R6 Mark II
Every spec below is quoted from the makers' official pages — where a figure isn't published we say so rather than guess. Sizes are drawn at true relative scale from published dimensions, and the bag-fit row is computed against our measured bag catalog.
The 3 biggest published differences
- Battery life (CIPA): the R6 II leads at 760 shots (LCD) / 450 shots (EVF), CIPA standard, power saving mode, at 23°C vs the R's Approx. 370 shots (at 23°C).
- Burst — mechanical: the R6 II leads at 12 fps (mechanical shutter) vs the R's Max. Approx. 8fps (Max. 5fps with AF Tracking).
- Resolution (MP): the R leads at Approx. 30.3 megapixels vs the R6 II's 24.2.

Spec values are the manufacturers' published figures, compared factually — we don't rank cameras. Fit verdicts are planning estimates from published interior dimensions, not guarantees. See methodology.
