Frequently asked questions

What does the manufacturer list for the Canon EOS R6?

Sensor: Full-frame CMOS approx. 35.9 × 23.9 mm; effective max approx. 20.1 MP; Dual Pixel CMOS AF; Mount: Canon RF mount; EF/EF-S lenses via Mount Adapter EF-EOS R (EF-M excluded); Shutter: Electronically controlled focal-plane shutter; modes: mechanical / electronic 1st curtain / electronic. Figures are for new units, from the sources linked on this page.

What should I check before buying a used Canon EOS R6?

Make sure the title says R6, not R6 Mark II — the two bodies are different models. Ask for a shutter-count reading; Canon publishes no rated figure we could confirm for this body. Check for a battery and charger; Canon lists LP-E6-series packs as compatible.

Which eBay condition should I search for the Canon EOS R6?

eBay Refurbished (Certified, Excellent, Very Good) is a program for approved sellers, so check eBay’s current terms and the listing for warranty and returns. Used and Open Box (listed by eBay as “New other”) are not part of that program; read the listing for what applies.

PreOwnedPick is not eBay and does not sell, inspect, repair or warrant items. Prices, availability and terms are set by sellers and eBay.
