Picking the right memory card for your Canon EOS R Mark II (the R6 Mark II) is the difference between capturing a once-in-a-lifetime 40fps burst and staring at a “Busy” screen while the moment vanishes. With its high-resolution sensor and demanding 4K 60p video, you need a card that keeps up with Canon’s Digic X…
