Canon EOS R6 review

Canon's full-frame mirrorless line finally packs a strong punch

Superb autofocusing ; Great all-rounder ; Fast shooting

4K video overheating issues ; Fairly low resolution ; Pricey

The Canon EOS R6 is one of a duo of full-frame mirrorless cameras from the big-name in photography. It represents a coming-of-age for the EOS R system and shows off what this heritage company really is capable of when it puts its mind to it. You get...

Canon EOS R6 review

A great stills camera for the masses

Best-in-class autofocus ; Excellent full-frame IBIS ; HEIF file support

4K video recording limitations ; Disappointing dynamic range in JPEGs ; Expensive for an enthusiast-level camera

The Canon EOS R6 might be the mirrorless alternative to the very popular EOS 6D Mark II DSLR, but it’s way more than just an upgrade. Its autofocus performance and image stabilization are best-in-class, while a blitzing burst speed makes it perfect for...

Hands on: Canon EOS R6 review

With plenty of top-level features onboard, will the Canon EOS R6 be able to outshine the more expensive EOS R5?

Impressive burst speed Animal AF (dogs, cats, birds) In-body image stabilization HEIF file support

Negligible size advantage over most EOS DSLRs Lacks top-plate display

Canon’s new EOS R6 might be the spiritual mirrorless successor to the EOS 6D Mark II but it’s so much more than just an incremental update – it’s opened up a whole new playing field for hobbyists and enthusiasts. From in-body image stabilization to a...

Canon EOS R6 review: Lower resolution, higher quality?

The low-res entry in Canon's full-frame mirrorless camera line-up delivers great quality and autofocus. But is it competitive? Read on...

Great image quality from full-frame sensor and RF mount lneses ; Electronic viewfinder is of great quality and scale ; Dual Pixel CMOS AF II autofocus system adds Eye/Face/Pet detection

20-megapixels is kind-of low these days ; Video capture limitations (time/overheating known issues) ; Price could be more competitive

The resolution might seem low for a camera of this type, but the resulting quality from this full-frame sensor is superb. Add on-board stabilisation, more advanced autofocus than before, and heaps of speed when it comes to burst shooting, and the R6...

Canon EOS R6 review

A night and day full-framer

Lovely to hold and control ; Fast frame rates and autofocus ; Solid low-light skills with IBIS

Costs more than closest rivals ; Overheats when shooting video ; Relatively low-resolution sensor

A superb full-frame all-rounder that demonstrates Canon’s decades of photographic prowess, including when things get gloomy

Canon EOS R6 Review Philippines: Overlooked and Underrated

We review the Canon EOS R6 and see if it is still a great prosumer camera 2 years since it went official in the Philippines.

Same sensor as the EOS 1DX Mark III ; Great video output

Slow startup when automatic sensor cleaning is enabled ; Pricey

Goondu review: Canon EOS R6 looks promising, let down by video capabilities September 9th, 2020 | by Wilson Wong Imaging 0 Canon EOS R6. PHOTO: Handou

With a rugged body and superb autofocus system, the Canon EOS R6 is excellent for stills. However, its video capabilities are a letdown.

Canon EOS R6 review: A perfect hybrid shooter with a big video flaw

Canon's EOS R6 is the full-frame camera everyone wished for instead of the EOS R. While the 20-megapixel sensor lacks resolution compared to rivals, it offers in-body stabilization, Dual Pixel autofocus and 10-bit 4K 60 fps video -- all killer specs...

4K 10-bit video ; 5-axis stabilization ; Flip-out display ; Compact size ; Top-notch video and photo autofocus ; Good image quality

Overheating issues ; Middling dynamic range ; Lousy menus ; Micro HDMI port

Canon EOS R6 review: A mirrorless to sway DSLR diehards

The Canon EOS R6 is a serious mid-level mirrorless with speed, sharp photos and video, and on-sensor stabilization - but it looks and feels like a DSLR.

Sharp photos and videos ; Smooth autofocus ; Fast shooting speed ; Excellent stabilization ; Good low light performance ; Comfortable grip

A bit bulky ; Buffer struggles with long bursts ; Animal Eye AF under-performed ; Short 4K recording due to overheating
