The Canon R6 Is ALMOST Perfect - Canon R6 First Impressions

SO CLOSE. That’s how I feel about this camera.

When the R5 & R6 were first rumored to be announced everyone was excited over the crazy specs of the R5. While those were jaw dropping specs at the time the camera that I felt would be most attainable for the majority of shooters would be the R6. I turned out to be right when they announced pricing. I was super excited about this camera, hoping that Canon wouldn’t cripple it in some way as we have become accustomed to.

However they did. They removed functionality to maintain a custom setting when pressing the video record button in photo mode that was already present in the EOS R. And then they decided to put that feature back in to the Canon R5 to add insult to injury.

Now I realize that for many of you, this doesn’t mean sh*t. Many of you don’t shoot photo & video at the same time. OR. Many of you have dedicated cameras for those purposes.

If that is the case then the short of it is.

PHOTOGRAPHERS: Just get this camera. It is that good. AF is incredible. High ISO is great. IBIS, well it has it. Dual Slots are there.

VIDEOGRAPHERS: It is a GOOD camera. Are there better options in this price range for strictly video? Yeah. I would consider the BMPCC 6k. But if you want to retain some photo capability to use at distinct times then this is a good option. Can’t write video to both cards. Camera may lock up (I have received reports this may depend on memory cards.)

In any case here are the images that i have shot with this camera.
