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

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

Opinion: I've owned the R6 for almost a year now and have used it for sports, events, and travel. It replaced the 1D mark IV. The body has good ergonomics, I'm comfortable with the handle (I have medium-sized hands), the three ferrules are great. I would have spaced the Info key more from the zoom and Q keys because they get confused sometimes. The sturdy feel is good, similar to the 6D, not at the levels of the 1D. In practice, the camera is quite sturdy, it holds up very well to rain, sand but not mud (at the Monza Rally the mud got into the keys and I had to send it to the camera service, the 1D IV instead had no problems). I am very satisfied with the high iso performance, 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 great, the colors are very good right from the start, especially the reds. I confirm the presence of moiré when photographing dense textures. When I use non-stabilized lenses, the IBIS can be felt and has always worked well for me. The viewfinder works well, it doesn't have any 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 cars I struggle to use the MAF auto, using the 70-200 f2.8 non-IS. The electronic shutter on the R6 I don't recommend 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 top of the photo is darker. The speed of this machine is great, it never lags either in turning on or in using. 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.

Pros: AF when doing close-up portraits

Cons: A bin, the facts Canon released a version II without rumors and after a while

Opinion: A machine that came out after the competitors should have had all the best features and instead it was made without reasoning, starting with i, face and eye tracking available only in one mode (over the entire frame) and therefore unusable, of necessity I made a virtue! basically with R6 you don't have eye reading on all focusing methods, but only on the whole area called tracking, so I had to customize the AF-ON button to make the discriminator between one shot-servo and the AF Point button is set to detect the eye, the AE lock button remained unchanged, I practically always press the button set for the eye, when I have to look for a particular point or because of contrasts with the background the focus should be difficult, I use the center point to hook and immediately after the dedicated button described above But the biggest problem the menu after two years I still haven't figured out if I can or can't turn off IBIS for photos, In fact, the menu is hidden and active only when you mount a lens that is not stabilized, at that point you can decide whether to activate or deactivate it for both photos and videos, but immediately after mounting a lens with stabilizer this option disappears so I assume you can't choose!! And I'm sorry because I would have liked to try to turn it off since when I take landscape photos or with a telephoto there is no way to have a photo without motion blur, they are mixed as if there were digital artifacts

Pros: Lightness, file size, iso sealing, body strength and many more

Cons: Moiré effect, white balance (in Av), overheat in video

Opinion: I have been using Canon Eos R6 3 bodies professionally since 2021 in the wedding industry, but I have also used them in landscaping, birdlife and travel reportage. Coming from 5dmk3, 5dmk4 and Eos R the step was huge, 3 points on everything: weight, file and af. These points for me were the turning point that made me stay true to the brand that had fallen far behind in the mirrorless department. I love the files of the R6 both for the dynamic range, for the iso hold and above all for the lightness of the files (I always use the Craw). The af is also excellent, although in some situations with distant subjects the tracking is not the best. The 20 megapixel file for me is perfect for events but also for the other photographic genres I practice, I have never felt the need to have more megapixels as I had on 5d4 and R. Excellent battery life as far as I am concerned with the necessary settings for energy saving and shooting mainly from the display. Coming to the few flaws because this is what it is, what I found most annoying is the white balance shooting in Av and autoiso, clearly shooting in raw is a non-problem but having shots of the same scene with different Wb is annoying. Photographing events, it happens to portray people with clothes that have dense textures and the moiré effect is always around the corner despite the anti-aliasing filter, forcing me to selectively remove it in post. Another sore point of the R6 is especially for those who make videos in 4k 60fps where they will most likely incur overheating warnings or in the worst case even when the camera is turned off, I make few videos and I have only seen the warning without the machine turning off. Coming to the conclusions, I believe that the R6 is one of the best cameras for value for money in the Canon price list, I have recently upgraded to R6mk2 and I hope they have solved those small problems of youth by improving on other fronts as well.

Pros: AF, Display, Image Quality, Size, Battery

Cons: General ergonomics, resolution

Opinion: I've had the chance to try this Canon ML for a while now and overall I'm happy with it; On the AF side I have absolutely nothing to complain about, fast and accurate without uncertainties; The battery was also a pleasant surprise for me, it was one of the aspects that worried me the most at the beginning but it turned out to be more than satisfactory. I honestly don't understand some of Canon's choices on the ergonomics front. Already in 2010 with the EOS 60D they had introduced the very convenient lock button in the mode selector, why not propose it again on the new ML? Why remove the auxiliary screen at the top altogether? Only the R5 and R3 have them, for me it's a significant lack considering that the R6 and R6 II are not really entry level. The materials in general don't give me anywhere near the feeling of solidity that I had with the SLRs; never mind my beloved 1DX, I certainly can't expect build quality at that level, but for me it's not at the level of a 5D II or III either. Then by virtue of the image quality, the AF and all the various internal improvements you move on, but I can't explain it. Overall I think it is an excellent camera that I will keep for a long time and I recommend it to all those who want to enter the Canon ML world without aiming for the top or the latest model. It does not disappoint and indeed gives a lot of satisfaction.

Pros: File quality, iso invariants between 400 and 6400, AF, possibility of using mechanical lenses of the past

Cons: Form-factor and construction materials: Accustomed to series 1 you always have the impression that it breaks.

Opinion: I've owned it for a little over a year, I'm happy with it. The sensor is the same as the flagship 1Dx3 with a different filter: the images are not "ready" like in a series 1 that we say. Using my 85/1.4 C/Y and being able to do surgical MAFs on the eye exactly as with EF optics is a pure pleasure (of course, the speed is not exactly the same :mrgreen: ) and finally I will be able to put on the wish list optics that with reflex cameras I would never have been able to use because of the difficulty in the MaF. But let's get to the camera: having the iso invariants is an absurd convenience, making at 400ISO a shot underexposed by 3 stops and pulling it up in post you have the exact same histogram that you would get by shooting natively at 3200. (If you don't believe us, give it a try, that's it). The AF is a sniper, with the super tele a little slower than the 1Dx due to different amperage of the battery (it fits) and I don't know if the speed improves with the BG. What else to add, a compact body that has everything 98% of amateur photographers and 80% of pro photographers need. I conclude by saying that in my opinion the firmware of the R6/2 could run on the old without too many problems benefiting from a cleaner sensor at high iso (there is half a diaphragm of noise difference in favor of the old one) but they decided to bring out a new model after 2 years to bring out the wallet. peace and patience, it will definitely continue to work ;) If you want to switch to ML or have a second backup body, it's the perfect machine.
