The following opinions have been automatically translated with Microsoft Translator. | Canon EOS R6 Mark II Pros: Excellent photo and video quality, value for money. Cons: The camera body isn't up to the price range, the software isn't "great." Opinion: A year after purchasing the Canon EOS R6 Mark II, I can say that I have a good idea of the camera, considering the fact that I have been lucky enough to test it in different photographic situations. First of all, I would like to make a criticism of the engineering of the body, in particular, I find the latter extremely "small", also in contrast with what is the "mirrorless philosophy", for the simple reason that using the camera for 2/3h consecutive, especially if you have medium/large hands, is extremely deleterious. Which is why I decided almost immediately to combine it with the battery grip, with which the ergonomic feeling undoubtedly improves. Another criticism is the SD slot. When you hold the camera, the camera is located exactly at the palm, notoriously the area that generates the most heat. However, except in a single and isolated circumstance, I have never had any kind of problem on this front. Leaving aside these defects, perhaps related more to personal circumstances, I find the room absolutely of a high level. The photographic quality is absolute. Working mainly on night events, I have more than often used the ISO 12800 - 25600 range frequently, and absolutely satisfactory results in the face of denoise in post production. The autofocus is not always "excellent" in tracking, especially in the presence of sudden changes in brightness and direction of light. I emphasized tracking, as the first lock is instead 99.9% accurate. Reason why, in this camera, it is required to be equipped with level lenses, or at least with an AF motor capable of withstanding a quick shot (in my personal experience, the STM motor is not fast enough), so as to have the shot assured. I must say that the photographic quality has therefore fully met my expectations (and in some ways even exceeded them, especially at ISO 25,600). Absolute surprise, however, was the performance in the video field. I state that I do not have a history of use of cameras in the videographic field, if not absolutely sporadic, but the combination of C-LOG and 4K of the R6II has really opened up a world that I did not think possible. The quality is excellent, the file extremely workable, the colorimetry excellent. It almost makes you want to record certain moments, rather than photograph them. The overall judgment is therefore absolutely good (8/10), even if, there is a bitter taste in the mouth for those slight defects, especially related to the body, which do not give me, to date, the feeling of solidity and "perfection" that I felt holding the old reflex bodies in my hand. Finally, I add two comments related to the user interface, which are absolutely personal and related to my use, but which, I must say, are very annoying: - Flash on the 2nd curtain: This cannot be activated via Camera. The only way to set (and use) the flash on the second curtain is to act on the Speedlite, and set in the camera a shutter speed not exceeding 1/30 (as indicated by the manual). I therefore find some steps back on the menu compared to what is present in reflex software. - Switching between custom shooting modes (C1-C3) is "slow". Although I use these modes often, I would say that the feeling I have during the changes is that something "can go wrong". sent on November 26, 2024 |

 | Canon Speedlite 430EX III RT Pros: Compactness, weight, power suitable for the use for which it was designed, compatibility also with the EOS R system, and above all, reliability. Cons: Needs "adequate" batteries Opinion: I purchased the 430 EX III RT in June 2016, and it is still my main flash. I think I have more than 500,000 shots with the above, since my photography focuses almost exclusively on night events, with an average of about 800/900 flashes per service, and using first the EOS system, and then the EOS-R system (specifically, R6 Mk II). The flash is also absolutely compatible with the new system, working optimally on a hotshoe, and guaranteeing, all in all, also a good reading in TTL. Lately I've been using the aforementioned flash often on a dedicated stand (standard configuration 1 flash + reflective umbrella), with optimal results. Regarding the "Cons" reported, I report my personal experience. I always used the flash with two types of Ni-Mh rechargeable batteries from a well-known brand, in the "standard" and "Pro" versions. In order to work properly, with adequate power and acceptable charging times, it is not possible to ignore the use of batteries with a power of at least 2500 mAh. In conclusion, an excellent flash, extremely reliable and functional in event photography, given its practicality and size. sent on July 11, 2024 |
