| Best Canon EOS R6 Full-Frame Mirrorless Camera with 4K Video |
Product description
Color: Black | Style: Body Only | Configuration: Base
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 upto 12 fps with the Mechanical shutter and upto 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. With the new 5-axis In-Body Image Stabilizer, up to 8-stops of shake correction is possible with both non-stabilized and optically image-stabilized lenses, 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.

4.0 out of 5 stars A superb camera with a remarkable kit lens.
Reviewed in the United States on October 5, 2020
Color: Black Style: 24-105mm IS STM Kit Configuration: Base Verified Purchase
I received this camera just over a week ago and have shot about 1000 pictures in various conditions with the kit lens and an RF f/4 24 to 105 mm L series lens I got with the Canon R camera I also own. I mostly shoot JPG and use RAW for those difficult pictures that in camera processing may not produce the best results. The R6 was purchased to replace the R.
The good:
1. The camera is a delight to handle and is easy to like.
2. Autofocus is superb with either lens. While taking pictures of our 4 month old standard poodle puppies, who would never keep still, I nailed focus around 85% of the time, compared to 65% for the Sony A7RIV and 50% for the Nikon Z7/Z6 using their equivalent lenses.
3. I compared the JPG output to my Sony A7RIV which is a 60 MP camera and preferred the out of camera JPGs from the R6 in both color and sharpness. The 66% less pixels were not readily apparent on an x2 image on my 2020 27" iMac which was surprising.
4. Quiet shutter with amazing shutter operational speed in electronic and mechanical mode.
5. The supplied kit lens is remarkably good and the JPG output is indistinguishable from the f/4 constant aperture L series RF lens I have (in camera correction is a wonderful thing). It is slow at maximum focal length (105mm, f7.1) but this only affects low light conditions and the R6 has the dynamic range and low enough noise sensor to not mind using high ISOs. The only reason not to use this lens on a regular basis is its lack of weather sealing and variable aperture over the focal length range.
6. Sensor stabilization is superb. I was taking shots at a 1 second shutter speed and getting a great hit rate.
The not so good:
1. The camera feels cheap and plasticky when compared to the Sony A7RIV, Nikon Z7/Z6 and my beautiful Fujifilm X-T3. It is solid enough but does not give that carved from a solid billet of steel that the other 3 manage to do. It does not feel like a nearly $3K camera.
2. The thumb joy stick is too far to the left and I often missed it until I got used to it.
3. The multifunction wheel on the back cannot be used to move the focus point, it is rotational only. I miss the ability to press one side of the wheel to get to a function or move the focus starting point.
4. The 20 MP resolution is fine if you do not crop in to get close ups. You soon run out of decent resolution, though not as soon as you would expect. I often use the ability to crop in on my higher resolution cameras in place of a good zoom.
5. Lack of a decent constant aperture f/4 70 to 200 in the RF range of lenses. I use my old faithful f/2.8 EF 70 to 200 with an adapter, That is one heavy lens!! One equivalent to the RF f/2.8 70 to 200 lens would be wonderful and means I may always take this camera (I do not want to spend the money on the f/2.8 and I want something more compact).
6. Kit lens is without a lens hood or case which, in a $2800 camera kit, seems a little cheap to me. The f/4-7.1 kit lens is not weather sealed.
7. No camera charging cables etc. which are usually included with cameras in this price range.
Summary:
1. I love this camera and have an R5 on order which may address some of the build and resolution issues. I do not use these cameras for video on a regular basis (my iPhone 11 Pro Max is very good and can 'film' for more than 30 minutes without either stopping (EU laws) or over heating). I never hit the overheating problem.
2. The kits lens is much better than it has any right to be at this price point.
3. The camera will make good use of more expensive glass.
4. Resolution is on the low side (for cropping in) but not a killer. Look at the output not the numbers and you will be amazed at just how good this sensor is.
5. This is a great camera and beats the Sony A7III and Nikon Z6 in just about every metric that matters. It is also a competitor to the Sony A7RIV and Nikon Z7 despite its lower resolution.
Recommendation: Buy it. I marked it down 1 star because it is an expensive camera with some obvious cost cutting which takes the edge off the experience.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing EVF
Reviewed in the United States on September 2, 2020
Color: Black Style: 24-105mm USM Kit Configuration: Base Verified Purchase
Electronic view finder is supposed to be the best, but from 5 minutes of playing with the camera, EVF is very disappointing - despite 120Hz refresh rate, the image is very choppy and laggy, almost like watching a retro video game - nauseating. That, and the build quality compared to 5D Mark III feels very cheap - too much plastic. There are some good features though, like auto-focus, high quality video, etc.
UPDATE: The EVF appears to be definitely glitchy. Stuttering aside, 2-3 times, when it was supposed to turn on by face proximity, it flashed a white thick line on its upper edge, and then remained dark. Maybe I got a defective unit.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just awesome
Reviewed in the United States on October 5, 2020
Color: Black Style: Body Only Configuration: Base Verified Purchase
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Solid camera
Reviewed in the United States on September 18, 2020
Color: Black Style: Body Only Configuration: Base Verified Purchase
You probably know all about this camera if you're looking to drop this much. I make YouTube videos and mostly take photos for IG, so this is great (if not overkill) for me. I'm not doing much long format 4k stuff, so I haven't experienced any overheating issues so far. Focus is great, build is solid, does everything I want. Coming from an EOS R and RP, I couldn't ask for more.
Watching other reviews it seemed like the stabilization would be magical (for video) - and it's good, but I wasn't blown away.
