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.

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.

How to plan your Glacier National Park visit for 2025: Reservation deadlines and key rules

Here's what Glacier National Park's new reservation system will mean for you in 2025

Hiking Glacier National Park in Montana.

Glacier National Park is one of the most gorgeous ones in the United States, so it's not a surprise that it saw almost three million visitors in 2023. Visitors can't get enough of Going-to-the-Sun Road, Lake McDonald, and the many lakes and glaciers in the area — the best time to visit Glacier National Park is often the busiest time. Because of the congestion in recent years, the National Park Service had previously enacted a reservation system for entry to the park as part of a pilot program. The National Park Service recently revealed this will continue in 2025, including timed entry reservations for the west side of Going-to-the-Sun Road and the North Fork — here's what you need to know.
Here's how it will look like going into 2025

When temperatures drop, and the wind starts howling, heat loss while winter camping can quickly turn a cozy night into a frosty one. The secret to keeping your tent warm isn't about getting the most high-tech gear. Actually, it lies in understanding how heat escapes.
