A fabulous sports camera.

I decided to upgrade from my Canon R to the R6. The Canon R6 has several improvements that are dramatically better. The biggest improvement is the focusing system which is extremely fast and accurate. It includes eye detection for people, animals and birds and it does work well. It also includes vehicle tracking if you shoot auto sports. The R6 can shoot at 12 frames per second mechanically and 20 frames per second with the electronic shutter which is fast enough for capturing birds in flight. DP's review of the extremely expensive Canon R3 showed no visual differences in low light performance to the Canon R6 which is pretty amazing. I also prefer the traditional mode selection dial on the R6 to my Canon R's LCD based mode selection process. The Canon R6 photo ... MoreI decided to upgrade from my Canon R to the R6.

The Canon R6 photo quality is sharper and more defined than my R which is surprising considering it has fewer pixels. My guess is the improvement is related to better filtering, sharpening and noise reduction algorithms in the R6's newer processor. I considered a Canon R5 but frankly did not want to deal with the extra cards and computer requirements related to the bigger files.

Excellent for action photos and video.

I bought this camera about 4 months ago, i was debating this camera or the 1Dx Mk ii because here in Taiwan they were about the same price, the 1D would be used. I'm very glad i went with the R6. I use it mainly to take pictures and videos of my 2 todlers and it tracks them very well even when there is no light or very dark, the screen is black but it the camera is still tracking the eye or face. I upgraded to this camera from the 6Dmkii and it's about the same for photos, video however is much more of an upgrade than I expected, i really love the backup recording of photo and video, i keep two 512GB microSD Sandisk Extreme cards in it and it will record in every mode including 10bit Log at 60fps, canon states you need a UHS-II card but i have not had any problems ... MoreI bought this camera about 4 months ago, i was debating this camera or the 1Dx Mk ii because here in Taiwan they were about the same price, the 1D would be used.

I mostly record in the higher compressed 4k modes because the files are so big and it looks about the same to me. As far as battery life goes, I use a battery grip with 2 LP-E6NH batteries, we went on a 2 day 1 night trip and started with 100% battery, took about 2500 photos and about 1 hour of video and had about 30% battery life remaining. I'm very happy to use USB charging because it's so convinient compared to the bulky chargers that only charge one battery at at time. I use an anker 20W PD power adapter and a 60W rated 3ft or 6in usb C to C cable, the 10ft cable rated at 100W wont charge the camera, also works in the 45W outlet of the PD wall adapter. I keep it on 15 seconds to turn off the screen and either 30 seconds or 1 minute auto power off, i don't really review pictures becuase i know i got the shot and the exposure with auto ISO and manual everything else. I do wish it had GPS like my 6D had but i still have an old Canon GPS module that i attach to the hotshoe and it works great, GP-E2 i think. The camera has had an error 2 times since i bought it where I can't turn it on after it has been in my backpack for some time, i just pop out the battery tray and pop it back in and then it powers on. I can't really compare the image quality to my 5DsR because the difference is too great and they are completely different cameras, the R6 takes pictures fast and accurately, no waiting for focus, i mostly keep it on face detect and it gets the job done most of the time unless it's a difficult subject like someone on a horse going in circles in a ring in front of you doing acrobatics on the horse and constatnly moving with a complex background behind them then the focus will jump off the subject and it takes some effor to reaquire but it's miles ahead of the 5DsR where you have to choose the focus points and tracking is not so great, very difficult to get a tack sharp image on a moving subject, but very easy on the R6. I have never been even close to outrunning the buffer that is 64 deep with the UHS-I cards i have in it and the pictures go from the buffer to the camera almost instantly, compared to the 5DsR where if i take 8 pictures i have to wait 15 to 20 seconds to even be able to review or take more pictures. I only use EF glass with the control ring adapeter and everything works perfectly, i have 4 L lenses and i don't see a reason to upgrade while i still own the 5DsR.

I purchased the Canon R6 after owning my Canon R for 3 years. Based on my experiences, lower pixel counts can sometimes yield better useable resolution at high ISO levels as noise can mask pixel count resolution.The Canon R6 focuses extremely fast and accurately on the eyes of people, animals and birds. Its low light performance produces very sharp images even with high ISO levels with the bonus that files sizes are easy to manage vs the file sizes of 50 MP alternatives. ( Clearly in studio work with good lighting more pixels are beneficial but this is not my use case ). I tend to use the Fv mode which allows the camera to balance ISO, shutter speed and aperture while allowing you to over ride the camera at will.

First full frame camera

The Canon R6 is my first full frame camera, and an amazingly fun upgrade from my Canon Rebel ti1.For the last four years I've been learning photography with the rebel ti1, scored by my dad at a second hand store for $35.I love that little camera and will continue to use it but I was ready to upgrade.After much research, camera comparisons, and talking at family members about my findings, I did it: I took the plunge and bought the R6...and I love it!!!I was nervous that jumping from a 14 year old camera to a much newer model would confuse me by the foreign interface and extensive menu, but I'm pleasantly surprised by the similarities and ease with which I'm navigating my new camera.

This camera has so much to offer as far as customizations its amazing; you can change almost every button or dial to meet your personal needs.I'd read that some people were disappointed with the color of the raw files of the R6. Only having my rebel raw files to compare, I've not been disappointed. In fact, the raw files have been much easier to edit. I've attached a few sample images. The Cat, Sir Krunkles, is a conservatively edited raw file; the second is of the same photo cropped at 100% zoom.The first Foxglove image is a raw I edited, and the other is SOOC.Also, this was my first purchase through B&H, and I will definitely be buying through them again. They are fast, helpful, and I loved that they had the Canon save big promo code that made my money go farther that I expected. Thanks B&H!!

Great camera overall

Bought this to replace my Canon RP. Love almost every aspect of it. The ergonomics/UI are just awesome. So pleasant to use.Pictures are great, except... I find that it sometimes overexposes the JPEG shots. I have taken the same pics with my basic iPhone and I find that sometimes the iPhone has a better exposure, contrast etc. Granted the iPhone over-saturates the colors, and is not as good in so many respects, but it seems like the AI in the iPhone does a superb job in analyzing the shot and adjusting the shadows etc., while the Canon just seems to apply a standard formula which works in some shots and not others.I do shoot both RAW and JPEG, and of course the RAW shots give you so much to work with. I just expect that the JPEGs would be a little bit better at ... MoreBought this to replace my Canon RP. Love almost every aspect of it. The ergonomics/UI are just awesome.

Now that I’ve had this camera body for a few months, I can confidently say that it has transformed my work. I shot portraits on a canon rebel XSi for something like 5 years, so obviously any upgrade in iso performance and autofocus quality in particular is substantial in my case. That being said, the autofocus is absolutely fantastic. Once you learn your way around the numerous modes and scenario options, soft focus will be a problem of the past. I’ve found that I feel comfortable using ISO as high as 3200 without noticing much noise, and higher ISO settings have minimal effect on the dynamic range. On that note, the color rendering and dynamic range are absolutely fantastic. It is disappointing that canon would lower the mp count to 20 for this camera to lower the ... MoreNow that I’ve had this camera body for a few months, I can confidently say that it has transformed my work.

For those of us who can’t afford the r5, I think this is an all-round great body.

Mirrorless Innovation, with some small hiccups
1 October 2022

After shooting SLR and DSLR for the last three decades, this is my first mirrorless camera. First the good. The Canon menus are intuitive and easier than ever to navigate with touch controls and the familiar layout. My lenses are all compatible with the adapter I purchased - and autofocus seems just as fast as when coupled with my old bodies. The ability to focus is assisted in the dark with the RF beam and I found this to be amazing and get more in focus shots than previously possible at wedding receptions. Now the “meh”. The autofocus system required me to work extensively to find the settings best for me. I did not like the “eye” autofocus as I found it hurts composition as I’m looking around. Also, the back screen can be touched while looking through the ... MoreAfter shooting SLR and DSLR for the last three decades, this is my first mirrorless camera. First the good.

The autofocus system required me to work extensively to find the settings best for me. I did not like the “eye” autofocus as I found it hurts composition as I’m looking around. Also, the back screen can be touched while looking through the viewfinder to focus, but I find it almost unusable in situations where speed is necessary - despite the innovation, center focus is still best.And now my complaint - the camera has banding in the images. This was enough to deduct one star because I cannot have banding in a professional setting. I’ve gone online now and discovered I’m not alone. It is not every shot, but, it’s enough that you could miss a moment if you are a single shooter. I plan on contacting canon to see if anything will be done in a future firmware update.Despite the banding, it’s a solid camera with great innovation. If you are upgrading from the 5d mkiv - it’s a nice next step.

They all work very fine with the adaptor, even with my Kenko extension tubes. All in all, just a fun camera to use and the next giant gain in the technology of the camera, past DSLR. Fantastic camera.B&H always a great choice for purchase.

Unreliable Camera
23 January 2023

When this camera works it is great, but it has been very unreliable. I had focusing issues with it especially after updating software and have had to send it to the shop 3 times. Each time Canon said they couldn’t find anything wrong, reinstalled software and each time it then worked correctly when I got it back. I feel like Canon does not want to admit this camera has issues. The electronic viewfinder also freezes fairly frequently and I have to take battery out and replace it to fix. I’ve never owned a camera with this many issues. So very unhappy about its unreliability, but when it works correctly it is pretty amazing. I am a bird photographer and the eye focus control is a game changer. Doesn’t work well in some situations, but use other focusing methods for ... MoreWhen this camera works it is great, but it has been very unreliable.

I am a bird photographer and the eye focus control is a game changer. Doesn’t work well in some situations, but use other focusing methods for small birds perching in bushes. Not great focusing in low light either. Hope they can make some improvements on this camera to make it more reliable.
