In celebration of the National Camera Day, Canon U.S.A. Inc. has introduced two new DSLR cameras – the EOS 6D Mark II and the EOS Rebel SL2. The former is for advanced-amateur photographers, while the latter is for entry-level photographers.
According to Yuichi Ishizuka, Canon U.S.A.’s president and COO, the release is a fitting way to commemorate the invention of the DSLR camera, which “forever changed how we view the world”.
The company is committed to its long-standing goal of “providing consumers with the photographic tools that match their developing skill levels as they continue to embrace their passion for photography”, he added. Their dedication gave birth to the two new DSLR cameras that provide photographers a wide range of camera options for all skill levels.
What’s new with the EOS 6D Mark II DSLR Camera?
After one day of using the EOS 6D Mark II in Yellowstone National Park, Canon Explorer of Light’s Adam Jones, an acclaimed nature photographer, gives the thumbs-up to the camera’s improvement over its predecessor, calling it a camera that landscape and nature photographers will most appreciate.
“Landscape and nature photographers will be very happy. The new and improved autofocus is way ahead of the previous generation and performed extremely well, even in very low-light situations”, he said.
The camera was designed with photography enthusiasts in mind, budding photographers that are looking to take their creative skills in the art to the next level by taking pictures using a Full-Frame CMOS sensor DSLR camera. This allows photographers to capture amazing portraits and landscapes of high-quality even under low light.
The EOS 6D Mark II comes with several enhancements from its predecessor the EOS 6D DSLR camera, which has been historically known to provide photographers the gateway to step up to the Full-Frame camera.
