Canon EOS R6 Review (fabulous autofocus system, D. Abbott)

canon eos r6 review

Here is a Canon EOS R6 review. More Canon EOS R6 reviews are listed here.

Dustin Abbott posted his full Canon EOS R6 review. As usual with his reviews, it comes with a huge set of sample pictures, comparison charts, ISO tests, differences and things in common with the EOS R5, and all the information you might want to know. This is the review I would look for if I was looking to get the EOS R6.

Some excerpts from the review:

[…] the Canon EOS R6 is also a very compelling model that leverages a lot of the technological strengths both of the Canon 1Dx MKIII and the EOS R5 into a fairly complete package at a much lower price point. 

[…] the choice to utilize the very competent 20.1MP sensor from the 1Dx MK III was a sound one. I vastly prefer it to the 24MP one found on the RP. The sensor showed a superior high ISO performance, good dynamic range, and, also always, very pleasing Canon colors.

[…] The IBIS system works well, the ergonomics are excellent, but while these are both superior to the competition, the true greatest advantage has to be in the fabulous autofocus system and deep buffers.  This is a sporting camera to rival the a9’s and 1D’s of the world in many ways, capable of brilliantly tracking and capturing fast action.

Canon EOS R5 High ISO: Fashion Shot With ISO Up To 40,000

eos r5 high iso

How is the Canon EOS R5 high ISO performance? Nothing short of amazing. But a fashion shot with ISO up to 40,000 isn’t anything common.

Canon Explorer of Light Lindsay Adler tests the Canon EOS R5 high ISO on a fashion shot. She says:

How high can you go!? In this video, I compare the high ISO capabilities of the Canon R5 shooting fashion images ranging from 2,000 ISO up to 40,000 ISO! See for yourself what noise you find acceptable!

I found that one of my favorite images from this fashion shoot was captured at 20,000 ISO, and was definitely clean enough for social media use, and would quite likely be totally usable for magazine print publication! I was a bit shocked and pleasantly surprised!
