Canon - EOS R6 Mirrorless Camera (Body Only) - Black

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 cost, but it has not been an issue for me as long as I’m intentional about my framing while shooting so I don’t have to crop much. For those of us who can’t afford the r5, I think this is an all-round great body.

I upgraded from the Rebel T5. This camera is amazing. The touch screen was something I didn’t know I needed. The focus is incredible and versatile. I love the different shutter options, as well as the ability to use Bluetooth to sync images. I’ve yet to find a fault, but I weekly find something new that I love. Love the dual SD card slot and the ability to customize all of my buttons. Great investment

I just upgraded from the Rebel series to the R6 and it was the best move! I love how fast it is and my pictures are so crispy!

What can’t I say. I upgraded from an 80D to an R6. I was considering the Black Magic 6K, but the R6 saved me a few hundred dollars. The 4K is a beast and Canon come out with an update that adds a slightly lower nitrate to the 4K, but you can barely tell. It makes editing easier and takes a little les space on your SD Card. The R6 doesn’t overheat and is really lightweight with the RF 50 MM. it’s worth the money.

Was a gift for my wife. Cannon makes outstanding cameras and you can see it through the quality of the pictures. Probably the only gift I’ve given her that gets constant use. It makes her pics look incredibly professional even though she’s amateur.

Bought this as a hoped for upgrade to my previous Canons (20D, 7D, 5Diii-- now 12 year old tec). Had a variety of Ef lenses so bought the adapter rather than springing for the RF (and quite expensive) ones. I also have an old 2x offbrand teleconverter I rarely used because the autofocus never worked with my previous camera bodies. Also own a 400EX flash gun, Kenko extension tubes and a Yongnuo setup to handle off camera flash. Much to my surprise and delight, they all work. The teleconverter now provides autofocus for my 70-200 f/4 L (non IS but in body IS takes over nicely) lens, though not the Sigma 140-500. The handgrip doesn't fit (smaller body than the 5D) and my remote shutter releases don't fit the socket (why Lord why change the connection?). However, the Yongnuo can be attached to the camera to act as a remote release and it works. The manual says that the rc-6 is compatible but other sources, including Canon's own, doesn't list it as a compatible camera. Hmmmm. No cable to connect the camera to my computer is provided. Why is that left out? In theory, I could connect using bluetooth. I prefer to use my card reader instead. I have only had the camera for about 10 days and haven't had a chance to test it in all or even my preferred conditions. So far, image quality is very good, with high ISO images cleaning up quite nicely in Lightroom. My landscapes seem to need a bit more work than my 5D ones did, but that could be due to my changing notions about appearance and the lighting conditions I have had. I have never been one to test the various autofocus options available on my previous cameras. The controls on the r6 are much easier to find and work very well. My backyard songbirds seem to have a higher hit rate using the eye detect animal, servo, high ISO and shutter priority set (1/500 second). This combination, esp with a tripod mount, might not be that different from what I would have gotten with my previous setup but I am satisfied, even it I am simply experiencing a placebo effect. Controls seem well organized, but it has taken me some effort to find them and learn to use them. After taking on that learning curve, I am pleased; they seem actually simpler. Sample images are all worked over in Lightroom, not straight out of the camera; I'm an intermediate skilled photographer and Lightroom user. Your mileage may differ.

EOS R6... What more is there to say about this work horse? Many stated there are overheating issues, but it really depends on how you're using the camera. I Personally have never experience that, but then again i use fast memory and use this for Fast moving scenes or astrophotography. Its low light performance is better than the R5 in my opinion , but R5 has its Pros/Cons just like any other camera. The R6 Is pretty solid and great camera to have in the field or on an astrophotography rig. The Dual Card slots are nice to have and almost a necessity if you are going to be doing many shoots over the week and weekend. The exposure iso range is insane and flip screen is awesome! I have almost all the Mirrorless camera EOS R line of camera and this is still probably one of my favorites that i carry around. The Price point, Features and Capabilities definitely make the R6 a fantastic choice. Attached is a single unprocessed photo taken thru the R6 on one of my astrophotography session (ISO: 6400 exposure time 4 seconds) - Of the Orion Nebulae. Distance 8320 Trillion Miles away taken thru an Edge HD 1400 telescope) using the R6 camera as a 2" lense attachment (Yeah i know lazy way, but it worked). Enjoy

I now own 2, and I wouldn't trade it for the world. Well maybe an R5. But they are AMAZING. LOW LIGHT SETTINGS FOR THIS CAMERA IS UNBEATABLE!
