It’s time for an upgrade, photographers. Whether you’re a novice or a pro, the is on sale for a limited time during Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days! Right now, you can save 20% during the major sale event — a discount that certainly makes this splurge-worthy camera much more accessible than usual. I’ve been researching this camera myself for a while, and this sale just might be the nudge we all need to finally hit “add to cart.”

Why you want the Canon EOS R6 Mark II in your arsenal

The is a top choice for photographers and videographers alike because of its 24.2-megapixel full-frame CMOS sensor, which delivers impressive image quality with incredible detail and dynamic range.

Recommended Videos

If you’re into action shots, you’ll love its high-speed continuous shooting capabilities. It has 12 fps using the mechanical shutter and 40 fps with the electronic shutter. If that sounds like jibber jabber to you, beginners, it means you can capture fast-moving subjects easily. This camera’s RAW burst mode also supports up to 30 fps with pre-shooting. You’ll appreciate that for those critical moments that happen in a split second. You grab all the shots you need and curate your faves later.

Canon’s autofocus is also another game changer. The Dual Pixel CMOS AF II covers up to 100% of the frame with 1,053 AF zones. This camera can automatically detect and track people, animals, and even vehicles if that’s your market. Taking pics of inanimate objects? This camera also recognizes those just the same with or without your steady grip.

What reviewers are saying

Okay, okay, we know—before you buy anything, you head straight for the reviews to see if buyers don’t regret their purchase.

Lucky for Canon (and you), reviewers are raving about this camera’s image quality, speed, and autofocus performance. Experts love its capabilities, especially for both photos and 4K video, but non-pros can enjoy it, too. It’s fairly user-friendly, especially with the Canon app, and even beginners can make the most of it with a bit of practice.

Here are the best times to visit the Grand Canyon

Want to know the best time to visit the Grand Canyon? Here it is.

A view of the grand canyon during the day

The Grand Canyon is one of the world's most iconic natural wonders. Carved by the Colorado River as it flowed over the deserts of Arizona, the chasm stretches approximately 277 miles in length, up to 18 miles wide, and over a mile deep. The canyon's layered red rock formations have been a spectacle for generations, and it's a great trip to have on your bucket list this year. While many might think of the Grand Canyon as a summer destination, that doesn't quite give the whole picture of what this national park has to offer. Grand Canyon National Park is a year-round destination, and the best time to visit Grand Canyon is really up to your goals and preferences.
What to know before you go to the Grand Canyon

Before deciding when to go, there are a few things that you should keep in mind. There is an entrance fee to enter the park, which is currently $35 per private vehicle. Bring your card, because they do not take cash.

Great Smoky Mountains opens US 441 after Hurricane Helene (but here’s why you shouldn’t visit)

US 441 opens, but you might still want to reschedule your fall foliage trips.

Great Smoky Mountains in October

Fall is one of the most popular times of year to visit Great Smoky Mountain National Park. However, in the wake of Hurricane Helene, you may want to reconsider your trip. The Great Smoky Mountains and the surrounding areas are seeing record-breaking flooding and devastation. While the last of the storm might have fizzled on Monday, it will take time and resources to rebuild.

The National Park Service (NPS) is doing everything possible to open up roadways, including US 441, which is set to reopen on the morning of Wednesday, October 2. Even though some of the park is beginning to open up, outdoor recreation at Great Smoky Mountains National Park is discouraged. Most roads remain closed without an estimated reopen date, and trails are in terrible shape. The NPS reports a high potential for limited resources, downed trees, damaged power lines, flooded creeks, and hazardous trail conditions.
