The Canon EOS R6 Mark II remains a great camera even with the new R6 Mark III. It's cheaper at Php 148,998 and is still used by many content creators because of its solid 24.2-megapixel sensor and in-body image stabilization (IS). It's perfect for both photos and videos, even at slow shutter speeds.
I used the RF 135mm F/1.8 IS USM and RF 35mm F/1.4L VCM on the R6 Mark II, and I still got great shots. While there are some limitations to the lens features, the camera uses modern optics well for clear and sharp images.
In video, the R6 Mark II falls a bit behind. It's limited to 6K RAW video on an external recorder and doesn't have the open gate recording that the R6 Mark III has. But if you only need 4K30 or short-form vertical videos, the R6 Mark II is still more than capable.
It's also nice that the R6 Mark II has two UHS-II SD card slots, compared to the R6 Mark III's CFExpress slot. This is more practical for most people, especially if you're not ready to invest in CFExpress cards.
Overall, even though the R6 Mark III is newer and has upgraded features, the R6 Mark II remains a reliable and balanced mirrorless camera. It's still worth buying, especially for hybrid shooters looking for quality in photos and videos.
