Pros: AF, sensor, ergonomics, build quality, customisation of controls, stabiliser
Cons: At the moment none
Opinion: Premises: I'm not a professional / I come from a 7d mkii / lately I've been focusing on photographing volleyball, thanks to a past as a volleyball player and a son who is a player. I didn't want to leave the world of reflex cameras for the pleasure of seeing the image in the optical viewfinder, for that typical sound of the mirror and for the fear that the 'small' camera would not be comfortable during the long photo sessions in the arenas. The aspect that amazed me the most about the r6 mkii is the AF. I read millions of praises and just as many criticisms. Personally, once the right settings were found, the camera was confirmed to be a real sniper: Lock on the player follow and shoot, result 80-90% of the photos are in focus exactly where you want it. For a personal worm, I almost always take single photos so I can't give an evaluation of the gust. The sensor is excellent but, given certain reviews, I expected to find an 'exaggeratedly' better noise resistance than the 7d. In fact, the photos are perfect up to iso 3200 and definitely good at iso 6400, better than the 7d but not so much (even the 7d brings out excellent photos at 3200/6400 with a quick transition to Camera raw). Obviously it is impossible to generalize, it depends on the light, but this is my mediated opinion. I have read a lot of comments about the ergonomics and quality of the machine. For me, despite having large hands, the camera is held perfectly with all fingers, including the little finger, and in any case I never shoot without having my left hand in support under the camera/lens. As for the construction it seems to me a real tank, nothing to envy to 5d and 7d. It gives me the impression of being extremely well built. I find it hard to understand the many negative comments. At the moment I only use EF lenses with a Canon adapter and the match is perfect. The battery life is slightly shorter than the 7d, but 400-500 photos are taken easily so, with 2 backup batteries, no problem. Another personal worm, shooting with the screen closed, this certainly reduces consumption. For volleyball photographs I almost never go below 1/800, so I don't appreciate the stabilizer but, in photos at home, I was really impressed to be able to take photos with time close to a second without micro-blur. Incredible. I suggest spending the time necessary to study the machine and customize the buttons according to your needs. I close with a note on the viewfinder: Without prejudice to my preference for the optical viewfinder, the possibility of being able to appreciate the final result in the camera before the shot is priceless, especially when shooting in black and white it is much easier to build the image correctly. Rating 9.9. |
