Should I upgrade from the Canon EOS M6 Mark II to the Canon EOS R7?
Upgrading is likely worth it. EF-M lenses can't be adapted to RF bodies, so you will need new lenses.
What you gain
- faster bursts (30fps vs 14fps)
- better video (4K 60p vs 4K 30p)
- cleaner high ISO
- in-body stabilisation
- weather sealing
- 3 years of newer processing and autofocus (2019 → 2022)
What you give up
- a heavier body (612g vs 408g)
What it costs
| EOS R7 new | £1,049 |
| EOS R7 used (MPB, typical) | £810 |
| Your EOS M6 Mark II trade-in (rough estimate) | ≈ £360 |
| Net cost buying used | ≈ £450 |
Trade-in estimates assume about two-thirds of the typical MPB resale price; real offers vary with condition and shutter count.

Frequently asked questions
Should I upgrade from the Canon EOS M6 Mark II to the Canon EOS R7?
The upgrade is likely worth it. You gain faster bursts (30fps vs 14fps), better video (4K 60p vs 4K 30p), cleaner high ISO, in-body stabilisation, but you lose a heavier body (612g vs 408g).
How much does it cost to upgrade from the EOS M6 Mark II to the EOS R7?
The EOS R7 costs £1,049 new and about £810 used at MPB. Trading in a used EOS M6 Mark II might bring roughly £360, so the net cost is around £450 buying used (a rough estimate: get quotes from MPB, Wex and Park Cameras).
Will my EOS M6 Mark II lenses work on the EOS R7?
EF-M lenses can't be adapted to RF bodies, so you will need new lenses.
