Similarly, Bill Claff has measured the engineering dynamic range of the 6D Mark II to be 11.1 EV at the pixel level, at 12.7 at ISO 160 for the 5D Mark IV (its highest dynamic range). So those 6D II and 5D IV figures are off by a stop.
The Canon 6D Mark II has a noticeably worse dynamic range than the Canon 7D Mark II. This means that you’ll capture less detail overall. That’s a big concern for landscape photographers in particular. Of course, the Canon 6D Mark II still offers a higher megapixel count than the Canon 7D Mark II (26.2 MP vs 20.2 MP).
From the Dxomark data, 6D mark ii is 0.3 stop better in ISO, 1.5 bit better in color depth, similar in dynamic range, comparing to original 6D. I took pictures for the kids, so color depth and ISO make more sense to me. I never push shadow at ISO 100, dynamic range is not important to me.
