Product Description
The EOS R6 features the same base image sensor and image processor as the EOS-1D X Mark III, enabling a native ISO range of 100-102,400. With
high-speed continuous shooting of up to 12 fps with the Mechanical shutter and up to 20 fps with Electronic “silent” shutter, the EOS R6 can keep up
with just about any fast moving subject. Combined with the new Dual Pixel CMOS AF II system with approx. 100% coverage of the frame, and 1,053
Automatic AF Zones, the EOS R6 will confidently follow elusive subjects at 20fps for sharp images. Tracking subjects is easy and intuitive with the ability
to track people using Eye, Face and Head Detection AF, or when tracking the whole body, face or eye of cats, dogs, or birds with Animal Detection AF.

opening up many more creative opportunities for incredibly stable lower light photo or video content creation. Those looking for creative cinematic video
options will appreciate frame rates including 4K 60P and Full HD 120P with the option of internally recorded 4:2:2 10-bit Canon Log or HDR-PQ recording.
And the inclusion of Dual SDXC UHS-II card slots combined with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth allows for multiple transfer and automatic backup options,
making the EOS R6 ready when you are.

🖼️ Full-Frame CMOS Sensor: Exceptional Image Quality 🎨🌌: The full-frame CMOS sensor delivers exceptional image quality. The level of detail and color accuracy it captures is simply superb, making each shot a visual delight. Low light performance is also excellent, reducing noise while maintaining clarity and detail.
🎥 4K Video: Immersive and High-Definition 🌃🎬: The 4K video capabilities of the R6 are equally impressive. Footage is sharp, vibrant, and smooth, even when shooting in challenging lighting conditions or capturing fast-moving subjects.
🔄 DIGIC X Image Processor: Fast and Reliable 🏎️💨: The DIGIC X image processor plays a key role in the camera’s impressive performance. It processes images swiftly and effectively, reducing lag time between shots and enhancing the camera’s overall responsiveness.
💾 Dual UHS-II SD Memory Card Slots: Convenient and Flexible 📂🔄: With two UHS-II SD memory card slots, the EOS R6 allows for flexible file management and backup options. It’s particularly useful for longer shoots or when you’re shooting both photos and video.
🏃♂️ Up to 12 fps with Mechanical Shutter: Capture Every Moment 🐆📷: The R6’s capability of shooting up to 12 frames per second with the mechanical shutter is a real game changer for action photography. It ensures you won’t miss that critical shot, whether you’re photographing fast-paced sports or wildlife.
However, there’s a small aspect that may not appeal to everyone:
💰 Price: Premium Investment 💼💲: The EOS R6 comes with a premium price tag, which might be a consideration for those on a tighter budget. However, for the functionality and quality it offers, I personally consider it a worthwhile investment for serious photographers and videographers.
All things considered, the Canon EOS R6 earns a well-deserved 5-star rating 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟. Despite the premium price tag, its superior image and video quality, speedy performance, convenient storage options, and impressive continuous shooting speed make it a standout option in the full-frame mirrorless camera market. Whether you’re a professional or an enthusiast, the EOS R6 is a tool that can elevate your visual storytelling to new heights.
Thank you for taking the time to read this review, and I wish you the best of luck on your search for the perfect camera. Here’s to capturing countless incredible moments! 🎉📸
This camera just nails focus. Focusing specifically on a person’s eye is remarkably impressive. Just as an example of how absurdly accurate the eye autofocus is: When I first got the camera I was testing it in my bedroom. I have a collage that has photo of me and my daughters in the center of it on one side of my bedroom as I sat against the opposite wall. The picture of me and my daughters within the collage is likely only 4x3 inches large. Zoomed to 105mm focal length and panning across the wall with that collage coming into frame, it automatically tracked focus on the eye of my daughter who was in the foreground. This camera had caught focus on eye in a small picture within a collage across the room. Racking focus between subjects or different objects is also really fast, too.
Additionally impressive is the viewfinder. The smoother refresh rate option is something that I appreciate immensely. It just makes tracking the framing that much easier, especially with quick movements. And I was slightly concerned about going from a 3.2 inch LCD screen on the R to the 3 inch LCD on the back of the R6, but after making the switch and even briefly comparing the two together this worry became a non-issue.
The body is a nice improvement. The build quality seems relatively the same; however the button placement on the R6 seems largely more intuitive than on the R. Don’t get me started on the Touch Bar on the EOS R. I REALLY wanted to like it, trying time after time after time to make it useful in my workflow, but it just wasn’t useful and occasionally a hindrance because of accidental touches. Having that replaced with the standard joystick and the different positions of the buttons is a welcome change. Also, having the scroll wheel instead of the direction pad on the back is a lot more intuitive, especially for those who are accustom to that of the 5D mk IV and other cameras with the scroll wheel.
Having uncropped (nearly) 4K video on the R6 versus the 1.7x crop for 4K on the R is a welcome change, although this doesn’t affect me as much since I do mostly still photography. However, when using the camera a little bit for video, this has been an appreciated difference.
Another appreciated difference is the faster shutter speed of the R6. Being able to take 12 shots per second (with the mechanical shutter) AND while nailing focus saved me a lot of headache when I shot at an event in the evening last weekend. I just couldn’t do that with the R prior. Being able to do 20fps in electronic mode is a nice feature, however for my personal use, I am not sure this will be used all that much.
Speaking of the evening event, the low light capability of this camera is exceptional. Truly. At said night event, I was shooting at ISO 8000-12800 at certain times and the images just came out fantastic. I had previously tried shooting with the R in a low light situation at ISO 6000 and it just didn’t do nearly as well. Images sometimes came out blurry or excessively grainy OR blurry AND excessively grainy to the point of nearly being unusable images. That was not something that I worried about with the R6. I set ISO, set aperture, set shutter speed and shot. Nailed focus, and just only had to pay attention to getting the composition right.
Also, having IBIS (in body image stabilization) is really wonderful and just adds extra security knowing I will get sharp images taken. It also opens up the ability to have non-stabilized lenses without worry of out-of-focus images taken. Using this body with the new "Nifty 50" (RF 50mm f1.8 STM) which doesn't have IS has helped retain sharp images much more.
So it likely sounds like I am gushing over this camera. If it does, it is because I am. The R6 is an amazing camera. The price premium over the R is well worth it. I was originally concerned about going from 30MP to 20MP, but after using it for a little while, that worry has quickly dissipated.
Photo quality, auto focus and stabilization from the IBIS do well. No complaints. I started with the Canon M50, moved on to the Canon R and while shooting with the R and R6, both do well, but the IBIS and improved auto focus do make a difference. The Canon R may have more megapixels, but there seems to be an extra bit of sharpness with the R6. If cropping, there can be some limitations with less pixels, but with that, it will require using the right tools even better and having the right focal length for what you are shooting.
Video options may be lacking in some areas comparted to a cheaper camera like the Canon R, but I still like the quality of video better, especially due to the better quality image with a high ISO.
Overall, this is a great camera. After later firmware updates when I purchased, with how I shoot and do video, no issues, even with 4K video.

The Canon EOS R6 is overall a great camera to have for birds and animals and if you are into people portraits. I think so anyways.
I have not used the video recording yet so I can not comment on what the video quality is like. But if it is anything like the stills quality, then I am sure it will be great.
Final word. If you are coming from the DSLR to the mirrorless system and are looking for a great professional camera. This could be the one for you. As a new photographer, who is looking to eventually become professional, I can honestly say that I am thoroughly satisfied with this purchase.

Final word. If you are coming from the DSLR to the mirrorless system and are looking for a great professional camera. This could be the one for you. As a new photographer, who is looking to eventually become professional, I can honestly say that I am thoroughly satisfied with this purchase.
