EOS R6

Found the original R6 much sharper than the RP with far more dynamic range.

“I found it much sharper than the RP, even though it has lower resolution.”

Owns the R6 and X100V and strongly prefers the R6 indoors with kids for far fewer missed shots.

“The R6 with any 1.8 lens has far fewer misses even at an ISO of 2000+.”

Uses the R6 for work because Canon autofocus is much better than their Fuji.

“my Canon R6 is for work.”

Moved from the RP to the R6; the battery and dual slots were most beneficial, though they miss the lighter body for hikes.

“I went from RP to R6”

Used the original R6 professionally for five years and found it a low-light workhorse, but it overheats on long video.

“the original R6 overheats a lot and only films in 30 mins increments.”

Shoots 100k+ nightlife images a year on an R6 and R5 and finds the R6 better in low light.

“I find the R6 better in low-light but YMMV.”

Put 650,000 shutter clicks on their original R6 and was perfectly happy with it; upgraded only to avoid failure mid-shoot.

“my original R6 was at 650k shutter clicks, was perfectly happy with my old camera”

Owns the R6 and finds it still stellar, especially in low light.

“Nah...I own the R6 and it still is a stellar camera,specially for low light photography and videography.”

Likes their R6 quite a bit, but its 20MP sometimes falls short.

“I have an R6 and I like the thing quite a bit, but there are definitely situations where the 20 MP just doesn't cut it.”

Switched from the a7 III to the R6 and finds photo quality and colours much better.

“ended up with the R6- photo quality is so much better and the colors are so amazing!”

Switched from Sony to the R6 and its lenses, which helps them get better shots.

“I also switched from Sony to Canon for the R6 and these new lenses.”

Moved from Olympus to the R6 when they went professional and it has been great.

“R6 has been great, I’m looking at getting the 24-205 f/4L.”

After an M50, tried and returned an a7 III and finds the R6 a lot of fun.

“The R6 is so much fun to use, I totally agree.”

Upgraded from the RP to the R6 and is blown away.

“And I just upgraded to the R6 from the RP and am utterly blown away by it.”

Owns the original R6 and finds it fantastic for birds in flight; considered upgrading but realised it does everything they need.

“Been thinking about maybe upgrading to the r6ii/iii but then I realize the og r6 does everything I need.”

Owns the original R6 and loves it, especially adapting vintage Zeiss and M42 lenses to it.

“I have the MRK 1 and love it.”

Upgraded from a 5D II to the R6 and found snappy AF, phenomenal image quality and high ISO that ate noise.

“I went from a 5Dii to a R6. The change was unbelievable.”

Owns the original R6 and finds switching between video and photo via the mode dial the worst thing about it.

“you have to play carousel with the wheel to record video and the turn it again to photo mode, just crazy, probably the worst thing on the R6.”

The ergonomics and familiar menus of their R6 keep them with Canon over their wife's Sony A7CR.

“It's the ergonomics and familiar menus of my R6 and 5Ds that convince me to stay Canon”

Their original R6 utterly destroys their old 6D for AF when shooting birds.

“My R6I utterly destroys my old 6D in AF performance - it's not even close!”

Loved their original R6s for weddings, but after a third mechanical shutter failure they are upgrading.

“I am 20 years in the wedding industry and loved my R6's, they have just taken a beating and after my 3rd mechanical shutter break back in July I just need to update.”

Had two shutter failures on the same original R6.

“I had two shutters fail on the same R6 lol.”

Moved from a 600D to the original R6 years ago and finds its AF fantastic.

“i cames from 600D to R6 years ago, the AF is fantasic”

Still uses their launch-day original R6, which hasn't let them down for stills.

“I’m still using mine from when it first came out. It hasn’t let me down (for stills) yet.”

The original R6 was a big upgrade from the 6D II, with better ergonomics and AF across almost the whole frame.

“R6 was a very nice upgrade coming from 6Dm2.”

Has had their original R6 since release and finds it fantastic.

“I’ve had my R6 since release, fantastic camera.”

Their original R6 was the star of a low-light event where their EOS R couldn't keep up.

Owns two first-generation R6 bodies for events and location portraits and loves them.

“I have two first-gen R6s and love them. I do 90% events and 10% location portraits.”

Moved from the RP to the original R6; it's bigger and heavier but has a better grip and a larger EVF that suits glasses wearers.

“For me the R6 feels better in the hand, more room for my pinky and a better grip.”

Loves their R6, but finds it bulky and attention-grabbing for street photography, so they're eyeing the Sony a7C II.

“I currently have a R6, which I love. But it is a bit bulky and can attract attention when shooting street photography.”

A hobbyist with the original R6 who has all the camera they need.

“As a hobbyist with a R6 it seems like Mark II and III won’t really move the needle for me.”

Retired the original R6 after four years and almost 500,000 shots, never unhappy with it, only wary of its shutter count.

“After 4 years and almost 500k shots together, my R6 was due for a replacement.”

Owns the original R6 and finds it fantastic for stills; upgrading would be an unnecessary splurge.

“I have the Mark I and it's fantastic for taking pictures. Upgrading it would be an unnecessary splurge.”

A stills shooter with a pair of original R6s who prefers their fatter pixels and finds it such a great camera that newer ones aren't needed.

“Canon made such a great camera in the first version they sorta shot themselves in the foot.”

Found the original R6 the most uninspiring camera they've owned, a mere work tool, and switched to Nikon and Lumix.

“The R6 was the most uninspiring camera I've ever owned”

Moved from a 5D II to the original R6 and was disappointed by its colours and the feeling that photos had less soul.

“I hope you’re not too disappointed with the colors or the feeling that your photos have less soul (like myself when I switched from 5D II to R6).”

Moved from a 6D to the R6 a month ago; hated it for a week, but now finds it superior in almost every way.

“Had my 6D for about 8 years before upgrading and I hated the R6 for about a week or so and now I can truly say that it was worth it.”

Still shoots the original R6 and finds ISO 25,600 photos usable.

“I shoot an R6 still, and the photos at 25,600 ISO are useable.”

Shoots events on the original R6, which has been amazing, and prefers it to their R5 for file size and ISO.

“I mainly shoot events and the R6 has been amazing. I use my R5 for wildlife and although I love it, I way prefer the R6 for file size and ISO.”

Their first R6's shutter curtain stuck within two years at around 350-400k shots, repaired under warranty.

“My first R6 also got the curtain stuck in the first two years, still inside warranty, but had arround 350/400k shots.”

The power switch on their R6 failed twice in about ten months, costing €400 to repair each time.

Has used their R6 for over five years of rough wildlife work without anything breaking.

“Same here, been using my R6 for over 5 years, never had anything break.”

Has carried their R6 through about 150 weddings and treated it rough without a failure.

“I have slugged my R6 to like 150 weddings and beat the piss out of mine and never seen something like that.”

Has owned two R6s for years without a single mechanical issue.

“I’ve had 2 R6’s for year and have never had a single mechanical issue.”

Their R6 is the favourite camera they've ever used.

“My R6 is my favorite camera I've ever used. It's just so good in every way.”

Loves their Canon R6, though they'd still like a 5D Mark III as a second body.

“I love my R6 but I'd still love to pick up a 5d3 as a second body.”

Owns an a7 IV, a7R III and Canon R6, and finds the R6 better for ergonomics, quiet shutter, heat and ISO.

“I think Canon does some things better like Ergonomics, Shutter sound (much more quiet), heat management and ISO”
