Pros: Ergonomics, currently the price

Cons: the colors ! the dominant ! the white balance (in Av) where is the Canon red ?

Opinion: It's a very praised camera but for me rather disappointing, I had two, one resold immediately to finance the purchase of the R5 (another world) the other remained on my rump because at current prices unfortunately it is not worth reselling, I immediately quarreled with the colors that it churns out in jpeg, washed out, devoid of bite and contrast with a yellowish patina on the whole frame as for the R8 and the RP, with various dominants to try to remedy but with extreme difficulty in post and above all does not seem to know where the Canon red is! Then for heaven's sake the "wizards" of post production will say that blah blah blah but if one doesn't want to bang in post production it's better to look for something else, even in Canon of course (the R5 first of all but also simply the R which is the most underrated of the ML R series) "someone" has spread the rumor that Canon in the R6 had put the sensor of the 1DX Mark III but have you ever used the flagship? They are simply incomparable objects from all points of view! More likely that the sensor derives from that of the 6D... On the video side, ok ok for 4K at 60 fps with a minimum crop but it overheats and doesn't even have the ALL-I codecs (instead the R has it) and the firmware addition of the Canon Log 3 has introduced a lot of digital noise at high iso especially in the shadows ... but you know how to chase dynamic range at all costs is the new senseless mantra!

Pros: Light files, pre-view shot, auto-focus, weight, wifi system

Cons: Battery consumption

Opinion: After the unexciting experience with R7, I had momentarily put in the freezer the idea of making a new approach to the Mirrorless world by relying on the old but still excellent 1DX first version for my work. Thanks to a bargain price (further lowered by trading in two lenses) and the changed professional needs, I put my hand on this R6 and I must say that at the debut of fire in a big event such as a European Fencing Championship (6 days of competitions) it immediately dispelled any doubts. "Filing" almost a kilo compared to the old flagship was a panacea when you have to run for hours like a pinball in a sports hall. But that of weight is only one of the many advantages: amazing image quality in combination with adapter and EF lenses, super performing autofocus, the ability to pre-view already in the viewfinder what the shot will be like with the set parameters real boon when there are photos to be delivered in real time and the time for development / post is reduced to the bone. Furthermore, by setting the jpgs well you get ready-made and not very bulky files, 20 mpx are more than enough since the photos I take end up mainly on the social networks of the various customers. In short, despite being an irreducible "reflexologist" almost bordering on Luddism, I have to admit that the R6 was a turning point for my work, even without breaking the bank for R3 or R1. If I had to find another opportunity, I certainly wouldn't miss the chance to get a second camera body.

Pros: AF module, construction, viewfinder viewfinder, very manageable digital noise

Cons: 20 megapixels per crop

Opinion: Mirrorless FF which has given me a lot of satisfaction, ISO hold and AF module are the two greatest qualities. As a con, unfortunately, having used it exclusively for nature photography, I count the degradation of the image of the subject when making important crops of the file. Of course, "only" 20 megapixels don't allow much. On the other hand, at close range when you don't need to cut the frame too much, the detail is excellent, nothing to say. Keys arranged intuitively, I came from a 5D mark IV and I was not affected by the physical change of the machine. All very well arranged and intuitive. I leave it after 3 years of intense use to try a conscious downgrade towards the R7, I am aware that with low light I will have to pay attention and not a little to the ISO, but as soon as the light becomes good I think I will take advantage of the 32.5 megapixel sensor and the greater flexibility of my RF 100-500 which will become a 160-800. Let's hope for the best!!

Pros: Image quality, burst, handling.

Cons: Lack of top display, lack of electronic shutter sound

Opinion: After 3 years of use in the professional field (weddings and events) I can confirm the qualities of this splendid camera body. I never had the feeling that I was missing anything. With little light she always gives you wonderful files, especially by combining bright optics. Side AF is unquestionably valid 1 or 2 photos out of focus on an entire service (800 1000 )photos. The only drawback when shooting with the electronic shutter with the burst, you have little perception of what is happening, it would be useful for Canon with an updated firmware to introduce the sound as for R6 mk2. Vote 9

Pros: Value for money, sensor, focus, speed, video, stabilizer, rechargeable with powerbank, light files

Cons: Robustness not at the level of higher-end cameras, electronic shutter

Opinion: I have owned the R6 for almost a year and have used it for sports, events and travel. It replaced the 1D mark IV. The body has good ergonomics, I feel good with the grip (I have medium-sized hands), the three dials are great. I would have distanced the Info key more from the zoom and Q keys because sometimes they get confused. The feeling of robustness is good, similar to the 6D, not to the levels of the 1D. In practice the camera is quite robust, it holds up very well to rain, sand but not mud (at the Monza Rally mud got into the buttons and I had to send it to the camera service, the 1D IV instead had no problems). I am very satisfied with the performance at high iso, in an indoor modeling competition I always shot at ISO 8000 and 10000, there is a slight grain that is corrected in post production while maintaining the details. The dynamic range is excellent, the colors are very good from the start, especially the reds. I confirm the presence of moiré when photographing dense textures. When I use non-stabilized lenses, you can feel the IBIS and it has always worked well for me. The viewfinder works well, it has no lag but I would have liked a higher resolution for when I use focus peaking. Focus tracking for people and cars doesn't miss a beat, for smaller and unpredictable subjects such as radio-controlled model cars instead I struggle to use the MAF auto, using the 70-200 f2.8 non-IS. I don't recommend the electronic shutter on the R6 for action photography, there's always rolling shutter. I use the shutter mode with an electronic curtain and a mechanical one always except when I use very bright lenses and very fast shutter speeds (1/4000), in that case I have to use the totally mechanical shutter otherwise the upper part of the photo is darker. The speed of this machine is excellent, it never has delays in either turning on or using it. In conclusion I am very satisfied with this camera, I have listed several things that can be improved but they are compromises for the low price. Update: even in very high humidity conditions the camera works well, the only problem is that the glass of the viewfinder fogs up inside and to continue photographing you have to use the rear screen. The fogging goes away without leaving streaks by putting the camera in a dry environment.
