Canon EOS R6 Mirrorless Camera (Body Only)

As an enthusiastic photographer and occasional videographer, I was thrilled to get my hands on the Canon EOS R6. It’s safe to say that the camera has more than lived up to my expectations. From stunning image quality to robust video capabilities, the EOS R6 truly shines in every aspect. Here’s my extensive, and thoroughly positive, 5-star review. 🖼️ 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! 🎉📸

Professionally, all my cameras before the R6 were just tools I used to create images for my clients. I thought the R6 would be just another tool, but as it turns out it's so much more. The camera is a joy to use. Starting off with the auto focus since that is a major improvement over previous Canon models. I've used the auto eye tracking on the 90D the R and RP and it was mediocre, working only when you were close to your subject. The R6 is, for lack of a better term, game changing. It can find and track the eyes of people and animals at far distances and is always spot on. It really takes time to learn and just let the camera do it's job, because I could never trust a camera to just find my subject and nail the focus. The images are sharp and RAW colors straight out of the camera are beautiful. The R6 uses the same 20mp sensor as the 1DX MarkIII which costs four thousand dollars more. In case anyone is wondering, yes 20mp is more than enough and the images out of the R6 are crisp and detailed. You basically have the guts of a 6500.00 camera in the body of a 2400 camera. The smaller file size also doesn't slow down my workflow. The low light high ISO performance is like no other camera I have used. I can shoot at up to ISO 25,600 and get perfectly usable images. I rarely shoot at these settings, but it's nice to know I can. The IBIS is something I didn't would think that mattered much to me until I bought the RF800 f/11. I would usually shoot at 1/800 minimum shutter speed, but the one's above were both shot at 1/400 handheld with no camera shake. The battery life is ok and I get around 500 shots per charge. Before I bought the R6, I owned three other Canon full frame cameras plus the 80D, and 90D. I shortly sold them all keeping only an R and 6D for backup because they were no longer being used. This camera has brought back the fun I used to have taking photos in my younger days.

Update: All issues mentioned have been resolved with firmware updates. I have nothing negative to say about this camera other than, once in a while the view finder gets a little jerky for a few seconds for some reason. I have not been able to determine the cause, but it isn't really annoying. Anyway... I upgraded both of my original Rs to the R6 and I could not be happier. The eye autofocus is every bit as good as they say, it's fast, it's comfortable and the image quality is the best I have ever seen from any camera. Lots of people are hung up on the fact that it is only a 20MP sensor, but the color tones, sharpness and everything else about the images are absolutely jaw dropping straight out of the camera. I am reminded that it is the same sensor from the 1DX3 every time I shove a SD card into my computer. This has been saving me a ton of time editing photos. It almost feels like I'm cheating. I still edit, but not nearly to the level that I had to before. This is a big deal to me as I do photography full time for a living. What else... the body is made form the exact same material that Canon uses for the RF lenses. If it's good enough for a $3000 lens, it's good enough for a $2500 body. I do wish the rear screen was a little bigger, but it works. This is the camera I have been dreaming Canon would make and I am loving it. I am soooo glad they made this thing! I really didn't want to have to go to 45MP and pay for 8k that I will never use with the R5. I shoot stills, no video and for me, this is as perfect as it gets.

Been using this camera for months and so far, I'm very impressed. Low light capabilities are great. I've done pictures at parties and a wedding and the lighting was very dim. I had flash, but did not overdo the brightness of the flash as to keep the mood and lighting of the venue intact. The grain at 6400 to 10,000 ISO can be seen, but it's nothing that some noise and color noise reduction can't fix. Sharpness remains intact. 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.

My love, the Canon 5D MIII which never took a bad picture was getting very heavy for me, so I researched the full frame mirrorless cameras to see if I could get something smaller, lighter, quieter and maybe the bonus of getting a one speed higher iso noise improvement . I already had a mirrorless, an older Sony Nex 5N that I loved, but it is aps-c and it’s hard to go back once you have full frame. So based on the silent electronic shutter, the fact that I can shoot only with the back screen and not have to hide behind a viewfinder, I can do 20 fps, I can use all my EF lenses with an adapter and it’s a smaller footprint, it’s THE perfect camera for me. I don’t care about shooting video with it because if you really want to do video you need a dedicated 4K camcorder which I have, so any issues with video on this camera don’t matter to me. The pictures are amazing at 12,800 and even 51,200 iso! Thank you Canon! I fear I may never touch my 5D MIII again! PS only one tiny thing I have noticed: you need to turn ON the setting that forces the camera to focus even when focusing is impossible - sometimes in more dim lighting especially with the adapter, it acts dead and just doesn’t even try to focus. This is using the point spit focus mode. Not a big deal since you can fix it by turning this setting on.

I'm a serious amateur photographer who switched from Canon DSLR to the EOS R6 and am using a Canon EF-RF Adapter with all my EF glass. I shoot a lot of low light indoor events such as plays, musicals and dances. I was concerned about the size of the sensor "only" being 20MP compared to the EOS R5 of 45MP but was swayed by the price difference as well as the better low light capability of the R6. After shooting numerous productions, I no longer have any qualms in purchasing this camera. With the "L" series glass I have, I am getting very sharp, detailed, photos even when the subject was on stage and I was at the back of the auditorium. I don't enlarge my photos to wall or billboard sized prints but for what my photos are used for - advertisements, brochures, social media and poster sized prints, the camera performs flawlessly. If I planned wall sized, highly detailed photos I would consider the EOS R5 but for what I need, the EOS R6 was a good choice and I have absolutely no regrets in buying it.

Okay first off this product is INSANE! So worth the money. I have a few things to point out to those of you who are looking for some specs. 1 off, the high pulse shutter speed with the mechanical shutter will not work with a nockoff battery even at a full charge. It will do the 20 frames per second in electronic shutter, but not the high pulse 12 in mechanical. 2nd thing is, I have had nothing but great words for Amazon. I was out in the water with this camera in its water housing, when it leaked and fried my camera. I contacted Amazon because it was still under warranty. I wasn’t sure if they would accept this du to the water and not an actual device malfunction. Without hesitation they replaced my product and I am receiving it it a few days. I could not be happier!! Customer support was EXCELLENT!! This camera is as good as everybody said. The low light is AMAZING and the (low) 20.1 megapixels creates stunningly sharp images even with the cheaper RF 50mm f1.8. Ps this photo was taken using the canon r6 + canon RF 800mm. This was shot in a lower Leigh hat situation. STUNNING.

Love, love this camera. I had Canon Rebel T2i with a few cheap EF and EF-S lenses which served me 10 years. The R6 is a fantastic upgrade which will last me another 10 years. It works awesome with EF 50mm + RF adapter just fine, producing images with great color and clarity. I can't wait to get the RF 24-100 or RF 24-70 later this year, so I can improve auto-focus even further. Primary use case: taking pictures of kids and adults moving indoors and outdoors in low or challenging light. Our kids run around, people move freely, with this camera there's no need to bark at everyone forcing them to stop and pose. Phone cameras have become very good, but when it comes to printing photos or viewing them on a good monitor, my Pixel 4 is no match to a full frame high-end camera sensor and lens. Highlight: F-value mode, where I can specify more than one priority manually, and let the camera figure the rest. I usually fix Time + Aperture pair.

Llego muy rápido y todo bien

The picture quality is terrific. The camera’s eye tracking and its AF take a bit to get used to as I am coming from the 5DMkIV. But it is an amazing thing to have as it tracks subjects beautifully. 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.

I love my new R6, I upgraded from a cropped sensor camera to this beast. Not really intended for a beginner camera, the photo quality is great, and I bought this Item right from Amazon to make sure I got the warranty card. I did NOT want a grey market item! This camera will certainly help me elevate my wedding photographer even higher!

Me facilitó mucho en mi trabajo que tiene la opción de subir fotos directamente a la nube

I have been shooting with Canon bodies for work since the mid-2000s and just can't get out of the system because of how much I would need to replace. There was a really dark era where they wouldn't jump onto mirrorless and it was a struggle seeing what rival were producing, but having made the transition to R bodies I'm glad I didn't bail. The best part is the R6 is all I need for the foreseeable future. Canon gave pro shooters a huge gift when they released the R6II: it tanked the price of the R6. The way I see it, I can shoot any indoor shoot I need with these, and actually prefer the smaller MP to ease the impact of thousands of shots a month on my storage. I love that consumers leapt away from the R6 to the new shiny R6II, and you will too if you don't fear the 20mp. Psychologically it's weird to have a pixel count smaller than a 5D II from 15 years ago, but if you're rational all you'll get is a good deal on an insanely capable body.
