What reviewers say about the Canon EOS R6 Mark II
Both whitelisted hands-on testers (TechRadar, Tom's Guide) rate the R6 Mark II a top-tier hybrid: excellent deep-learned subject/eye-tracking autofocus, clean high-ISO images and 40fps electronic-shutter bursts with a deep buffer. Both flag its high price and modest 24MP resolution. They split on stabilization: Tom's Guide reports the full 8 stops and lists it as a pro, whereas TechRadar measured only ~4 usable stops at 105mm and found the IBIS unconvincing, especially for video.

Where reviewers disagree The two testers split on stabilization: TechRadar's controlled test with the RF 24-105mm at 105mm achieved only ~4 usable stops and calls the 8-stop IBIS 'less convincing,' whereas Tom's Guide reports getting the full 8 stops (citing a sharp handheld 1/4-second shot) and lists 'Up to 8-stop image stabilization' as a pro.

Handheld IBIS compensation achieved (RF 24-105mm at 105mm): ~4 stops usable (Canon claims 8 stops)
The eye AF and tracking is very good, and ideal for one-person vlogging crews filming themselves.
The low-light, high-ISO performance is extremely good.
The 8-stop (claimed) IBIS is less convincing.
The Canon EOS R6 Mark II is a spectacular hybrid camera that works equally well for stills and video, with seamless switching between the two.
the subject recognition and tracking abilities of the EOS R6 Mark II's autofocus system are pretty phenomenal.
Perhaps the only drawback to the R6 Mark II is its price.
