Canon EOS 6D Mark II review

DSLR (Digital Single-Lens Reflex) cameras are considered the go-to standard for photographers, particularly among professionals. Whether you are a pro, a hobbyist, or a serious amateur looking to expand your skills in photography, you need a quality DSLR camera. Lucky for you, Amazon is offering a hefty discount on the awesome Canon EOS 6D Mark II. Normally $2,400, a cool 29% discount brings the price down to $1,700.

The Canon EOS 6D Mark II has an all-new sensor and image processor, enhanced autofocus system, and full HD video recording at 60 fps (frames per second). While it won’t be the first choice of professionals, it’s still a solid camera, thanks to its great build and outstanding image quality.

Canon built the 6D Mark II around the DIGIC 7 processor and a 26.2-megapixel sensor that work together to create sharp, vivid photos and videos. This camera expanded its ISO up to 40,000, which is great for low-light photography.

The 6D Mark II also has a 45-point all-cross-type autofocus system for advanced tracking and focusing when using the optical finder. It’s one of the fastest and most consistent viewfinder AF systems, but it doesn’t cover the entire frame. If you switch to live mode, you’ll find the Dual Pixel Autofocus technology, which covers more frame than the viewfinder AF sensor. It is great for video recording, with smoother focusing and less errors commonly encountered with contrast-based systems. It also works well with the new articulating touchscreen, allowing you to tap the screen to adjust the focus.

This camera offers full HD video recording options, with an improved 60p frame rate. It also has a Digital IS with five-axis image stabilization that minimizes camera shake, which is great for recording while walking or moving around. The Mark II doesn’t feature 4K video recording with its built-in microphone, but the audio remains very good. It also features a 3.5mm input where you can plug in your external microphone for optimum audio quality.

Other notable features include a built-in GPS module, Bluetooth connectivity, and built-in Wi-Fi and NFC connectivity. For more information on the Canon EOS 6D Mark II, check out our review. Get yours now for only $1,700 on Amazon.

You can pick up the Google Pixel 7 Pro for only $500 today

If you've been holding out on buying a new phone for a while because prices are still expensive, then you may want to consider going for one of the older flagship phones. For example, while the Pixel 8 Pro is out, the Pixel 7 Pro is still a powerful and viable alternative, and even better, it has quite a few great deals on it. In fact, you can buy a brand new and sealed Pixel 7 Pro from Woot for just $500, rather than the usual $1,100, and that's for the 512GB version of the phone, so you get a lot of storage with it as well.

This popular Dell business laptop is discounted from $849 to $579

If you're looking for a solid business laptop that's both portable and won't break the bank, then you'll be very happy with the Vostro 14. Not only is it highly rated, but it's still packed with features for being such a small device, and while it can be a little bit pricey at MSRP, you can get it for a steep discount. Dell has knocked an impressive $270 off the usual $849 price tag, bringing it down to a much more affordable $579, making it an excellent deal if you've been looking for a new device.

Why you should buy the Vostro 14
For being only a small 14-inch laptop, the Vostro 14 has some pretty good specs and a couple of ones that maybe should have been slightly better. For example, you get 16GB of DDR4 RAM, which is really excellent, especially for a more business-oriented laptop, so you can open a lot of apps and tabs at the same time. On the other hand, you only get an Intel Core i5-1335U, which is a mid-range processor, and while it's absolutely fine for business work and productivity, it would have been nice to get the higher-end Intel Core i7-1355U for a bit extra power and versatility.
