    I bought an R6 in September and an R5 in April. I love both! I just got my first shoot with the RF 100-500 on an R5, shooting butterflies. As Fro said, they share their AF system. The R5 locked onto a butterfly's eye at 6 feet. Let me repeat: animal eye AF locked onto a butterfly eye at 6 feet. And a Skipper at that, not some big-ass swallowtail. Unbelievable! The R6 is my main video camera and backup for stills.

      Moving AF points around with a joystick is how dinosaurs used to shoot.
      For several years already, you can enable all AF points in AI-Servo mode with DSLRs that have high AF point counts.
      Just put the center AF point on the subject, and recompose. AF tracking will switch AF points, and will stay locked on your subject as you recompose.

    The R6 really is fantastic. I went to mirrorless with the M5 and loved it coming from an old, cheap 1000D. When I wanted fullframe for my vintage manual lenses I tried a used Sony a7s. Didn't get the hang of Sony's menus or the general feel of the camera. But that showed me 20 Mp of the R6 would be enough as the Sony only has 12. So after selling the Sony and not liking RP and R I went fullframe R6 for both my manual and autofocus lenses. Since then some used EF L lenses and Sigma Art were added to my kit and I don't regret it a second.

      @@kianhawkesphotography I still love my R6, but I wouldn’t recommend it anymore with the newer R6 mark II out. Where I’m from in the Caribbean, the temperatures are way too high to record outdoors in the sun and the R6 has given me overheating warnings even indoors during the summer. But in terms of quality, I love what I’m able to capture with this camera. The 20MP haven’t been an issue for me at all and you can see a reasonable upgrade in image quality with this mirrorless camera and RF lenses, compared to the DSLR quality. So in that aspect you won’t regret it.

    @DaneRThomas Před 2 lety +1

    Since 2008 my arc has been 1000D, 70D, 7D2, 5D4, R, and now the R6. One thing that I occasionally miss on the R6 is the built-in fill flash/optical trigger from the APS-C models. The resolution drop from the 5D4 and R are rarely a problem, but I am planning to add the RF 100-500 to add more reach, which will help as I will have more freedom to compose and less need to crop for subjects that are farther away than what is ideal for my 70-200. Higher FPS than my 7D2 and better AF and video performance than anything that I have used before make the R6 my clear favorite so far. With a camera body that is this capable, I agree with Jared that fleshing out my selection of lenses is a higher priority for my needs than investing in a higher-megapixel body.

  • @willlund2185

    I adore my R6. Everyone knocks the overheating, but it's never happened to me. Also, using an external recorder turns it into a video beast with unlimited recording and downsampled 4K raw. For photography, only occasionally have I wanted to crop in closer - The benefits of smaller file sizes far outweighs those moments.

  • @FunWithTheBugs
    @FunWithTheBugs Před 2 lety +90

    Picked up an R6 last week. What a great camera. I know we'll never see it but if they got rid of the 30 minute record limit, that would put this camera over the top. I know a lot of folks want to see custom buttons for video but, that I can see maybe coming in a future update. Really strange that it's not an option now but I personally can live without it.

      @@bahaatamer1245 That's not why they do it. Also, you can restart the recording once the 30 minutes are up anyway so if the camera is going to eventually overheat, it will overheat even with the 30 minute limit.

      @FunWithTheBugs Před 2 lety +2

      @@andyrao7700 I don't know how long it can record for without overheating. There will be different factors that will play into that but also, not everyone needs to record in 4K 60P HQ all the time either. Recording in 1080p will be less hard on the camera and should allow for longer record times without overheating. Sony camera's don't remove the recording time limit because they don't overheat. Eventually you can overheat them too but as least you have option to record as long as you can until that might happen.
      I don't have any problems editing the files but I also have a powerful PC. I think it's the R5 though that more people are struggling with the files and not the R6.

    I picked up my R5 at Allen’s Camera a few weeks back with the lens adapter. ALMOST got the R6 but I didn’t like the layout on the top of the body. I’m too used to my Mark 5D III and I wanted those similar features. I wanted the cheaper adapter but they were sold out, so I went with the Multi Control Adapter. Works beautifully with my EF glass. Traded in my 6D and kept my Mark 5D III as my backup. The batteries used for my 5D III work with the R5 and so I managed to snag a few more from Allen’s as well. I tell people all the time to invest in the glass because those will outlast any camera body. The only thing I haven’t gotten is the CFXpress card. It’s new tech and will eventually come down in price.

The RF 50mm 1.8 is great for a smaller, low profile lens. I still use my Tamron 24-70 2.8 G2 and 70-200 2.8 G2 adapted often. Overall, its been a dream camera.

    I first rented the R6 to make sure my gear was compatible. After I got a used EF to RF adapter with polarizing filter for $100 off new msrp, and bought a 3D printed filter plug from Etsy, I decided to trade in on a used, under 6,500 shutter count R6. I traded in a 5D Mark III that I bought used that I knew was starting to not read my batteries or lenses, among other gear I never used. One feature I loved with the Nikon was the ability to put cropped sensor lenses on a full frame body, but I was already invested in Canon glass. With the adapter I can do just that, and it seems like my lenses are sharper now than they were on the 5D Mark III. I jumped on the polarized filter adapter because the $99 bare bones adapter was selling for $199, same price, on places like eBay and Amazon.

    Great video, everything really clearly explained and examples shown, excellent !! // I want to get a carry-around and liked the feel of the RP plus the fact that I could use a 50mm lens - probly not the 1.2 yet - and actually get a 50mm shot, as opposed to using a 35mm to get 52mm, (or whatever it is). Is the LP a camera u would recommend ? (I guess the RP would also be a ‘tester’ to see if I liked the system. If I did I can imagine going for the R6 in a year or two. (And that would also mean I could use the same glass on both camera; Heaven !! )

    I’m really enjoying my r6. The 20mp held me back from buying it for a bit because I do crop a little shooting wildlife and landscapes, but it really hasn’t been an issue. I am slowly converting over to rf glass mostly because I don’t like having to use adapters, the adapter is never on the right lens. I bought the 70-200f4 a few months ago and I have a 15-35 coming tomorrow. I briefly considered the r5 but I’m not a pro, and I’m not exactly wealthy, and I really didn’t want to invest in a $500+ memory card.

    My main points of why I love my R6 so much. Canon finally delivered a highly capable camera for a great price.
    1. Canon finally put in an amazing sensor in a camera. The larger pixels with only 20 MP is amazing at gathering light. Shadows are finally nice and clean on a Canon. They are cleaner than any of the Sonys I’ve had.
    2. Speed and accuracy are amazing. The way it locks on focus and keeps it are spectacular! Sold my 1DX2, because have no use for it now.
    3. Dual card slots
    4. Color science is amazing. Also easy to tweak to your liking with ease in post.
    5. High iso is amazing.
    6. Size and ergonomics are perfect!
    7. Battery life is excellent!
    8. Dynamic range is finally excellent! This was a huge must for me. It’s actually better for me than Sony, because Sony shadows were green. The R6 shadows are natural when pushed. I wasn’t expecting Canon to pull this off, but they accomplished it. Bravo to Canon!
    If you are on the fence on which brand to get, I’ve had them all. The R6 is a pure winner.

There is excellent software from Topaz and DXO that removes noise and resizes with excellent results and I am very demanding when it comes to image quality and my goal is large print 16x20 at least. The software is cheaper than go up to the R5. The best is DXO pure raw for noise and sharpening and Resize to increase pixel count if you need. I don’t have any affiliation with either

    @scottmh Před 2 lety +1

    I use the R6 as a b cam to my Komodo for video and it replaced my 1DX2 for photo. Essentially it is the best value for money camera out there. You get pretty much everything from a much more expensive 1dx3 for a fraction of the price. The 4k50p video is crazy good, better than that from the R5. I won’t need higher frame rates nor resolution so it is perfect for my needs. Only thing that is really bad is the video codec. To solve that I simply transcode everything to prores 422 before editing. Besides that, fantastic camera. If you told me 5 years ago I could get a camera around 2500$ that can do 20fps silent I would have laughed pretty hard ;-)

    Thanks for sharing this review. I'm just a hobbyist, I mainly shoot my daughter's soccer games. Been on the fence about getting an R5 versus this, but considering I need new memory cards R5 five is almost twice the price. I was thinking it's 45 megapixels would be helpful considering glass longer than about 400 mm is way outside of my price range ( 100 - 400 l is my limit), but it seems like the R6 performs very well even with a 1.4x TC. That's not ideal but probably good enough for my purposes. I would probably be better off at this point to save the money on the body and put it towards some RF glass to eventually replace my EF glass.

    I've now been using two R6 bodies for a year, shooting weddings. While there is a lot I love about them, there are some major issues.
    1) The freezing up. Over the course of 30 weddings, at least 14 times, the r6 has frozen up. The only fix is to take the battery out. (And yes, my firmware is always up to date).
    2) The AWB is BAD. It takes 1-2 seconds to read the scene and then pick a WB and it's not always accurate. For instance, a wood panelled room throws it out completely.
    3) The whites. No matter what WB I use, I find the whites very dull and grey/blue. Especially in the shade. It's pretty hard to correct this in post without making the subject's skin orange. A constant battle that I never had with the 5D mark iii.
