EOS R6 Mark III

Moved from the R8 to the R6 Mark III and loves it for pre-capture and cropping, but says the R8 is a steal for most people.

“While I love the R6m3, I switched for very specific reasons, namely precapture and 32M giving me the ability to crop a bit more for wildlife.”

Tested both before buying and found the R6 III unusable at ISO 8000, while their R6 II is still usable at 16000.

“The R6iii becomes unuseable at 8000, and I won't recommend going past 6400.”

Traded an R6 for the R6 Mark III; face tracking is more reliable and eye detection worked 40 minutes after sunset.

“Was able to track faces easily (and possibly more reliably) than the R6 Mark 1”

Owns the R6 Mark III and calls its autofocus alien technology compared with Fuji.

“I also have an R6mkIII and it's autofocus is basically alien technology compared to Fuji.”

“I've had the M3 for about a month now, and haven't picked up the R7 once.”

Upgraded from a used R6 II to the R6 III; pre-capture and cropping improved while handling, IQ and colour are mostly the same.

“The shooting experience was virtually the same for the most part and handling was indistinguishable”

Used the R6 Mark III for astro with a 50mm f/1.8 and 24-105 and likes the overall experience; video output is great too.

“I like the overall experience of it and variety of options it gives.”

Switched from DSLR to the R6 Mark III but after a week finds it too big and heavy for a hobbyist.

“now that I've had it in my hands for a week I think a large full frame is just too much camera for me.”

R6 Mark III owner says it feels plasticky despite its magnesium body but is comfortable in the hand.

“My R6 Mark III feels like plastic even though it's still a magnesium body. It is comfortable though in the hand”

Owned the R6 and R6 Mark III; the Mark III has a bit more noise but they're more pleased with it.

“after owning both the original R6 and the R6III all I can say is that they are right but it's no where near as dramatic”

Prefers their R6 Mark III's night files over the R6 Mark II and R5.

“I take a lot of night photos and like the files from my R6III better than the files from my R6II or R5.”

Finds the R6 Mark III blows their old R8 away, especially for video.

“My R6III blows my old R8 away, especially for video.”

Their R6 Mark III has never let them down, where the X-T5 struggled.

“My new R6M3 has never let me down in a very tricky situations”

Got multiple overheat warnings from the R6 Mark III shooting stills at a basketball game.

“I had warnings for overheating multiple times, just wondering if that’s normal?”

Bought the R6 Mark III a couple of months ago; its noise performance doesn't impress them but is more than good enough.

“I must say, noise performance isn't something that I'm actually impressed with with the R6 III, but it's more than good enough for me.”

Owns two R6 Mark III bodies and has been ecstatic with their low-light performance.

“I have been ecstatic with the low-level light performance”

Moved from a 6D Mark II to the R6 Mark III with an adapter and is very pleased with its features.

“Just recently upgraded from a 6D Mark II and have been very pleased with the upgraded features of this mirrorless camera.”

Tested the R6 Mark III with the RF 35mm f/1.8 for low-light street photography and found it handled noise well.

“Testing its low light capabilities and I thought it handled noise well.”

Moved from a 70D to the R6 Mark III and 28-70 for work video and modern AF, and expects to use it for a decade.

“I decided to bite the bullet and get the kit that impressed me the most. I'm excited to spend the next decade with my new friend.”

Moved from the R6 Mark II to a used R6 Mark III and is blown away by its cropping detail, though it's slightly noisier in low light.

“I’ve gotten several chances to use it so far and take pictures and I’m blown away by the detail especially when I crop landscape oriented photos to portrait oriented.”

Moved from an R7 to the R6 Mark III and loves it, especially the RAW video.

“I just got it too!!! This was my first time using it. I’m in love too. And the Raw video OMG!!!”

Moved from the EOS R to the R6 Mark III with the RF 100-500 and loves the setup.

“I just upgraded from the EOS R to the EOS R6 MK iii and got the RF 100-500 at the same time, loving my new set up.”

Shot the zoo with the R6 Mark III and RF 100-500 and was impressed by its low light, including a macaw at ISO 25,600.

“I was really impressed by how the R6 Mark III handles low light.”

Owns the R6 Mark III and R6 Mark II and relies on them as workhorses.

“I have an R6 M3 and an R6 M2 and they’re my workho”

“still learning the ropes but so far super happy with the camera and setup.”

Moved from a 90D to the R6 Mark III with the 24-70 f/2.8; the autofocus is night and day, and it was money well spent.

“So far the autofocus is night and day from my 90D”

Just got the R6 Mark III with the RF 24-70 L, a big upgrade from their T2i, and loves it.

“I just got a R6 iii as well and love it.”

“So far she shoots like a dream and learned new things.”

A hybrid professional with the R5 and the R6 Mark III finds the R6 III superb at both video and photography.

“I have the R5 and the new R6III and as a hybrid video and photo professional I just have to say, wow, the R6iii is just so good at both.”

“Having the R8 and now the R6mkIII, my vote goes to the R6mkIII.”

Bought the R6 Mark III in June to use with their EF glass and loves it, though they still grab their R7 more often.

“Nah...I bought the R6 Mkiii back in June.”

Just bought the R6 Mark III for video with an adapted L lens and calls it amazing, with excellent autofocus and stabilisation.

“The auto focus and image stabilization both in camera and in the older lens work amazingly good.”

Shoots birds, wildlife and aviation on the R6 Mark III; superb for the price with reliable AF, and its resolution has been fine for cropping.

“The R6iii has been superb for the price and the AF has been very reliable.”

Their new R6 Mark III is a huge upgrade from their 60D and amazing for photos.

“I just got the R6 Mark III and 3 lenses, huge upgrade from my 60D I've been using for 15 years!”

Shot events all year with an R5 Mark II and R6 Mark III, found little difference in practice, and bought a second R6 Mark III.

“The noise performance of the R5II is on par with the R6III. In the end I went with the second R6III”

A professional event photographer who replaced two R6 Mark IIs with two R6 Mark IIIs and has no regrets.

“I recently upgraded my 2 x R6 IIs to 2 x R6 IIIs and I have no regrets.”

Chose the R6 Mark III for sports; the extra pixels help cropping, but it lacks a stacked sensor.

“I went through this exact decision in the spring and chose the R6 III. Biggest drawback is the lack of a stacked sensor.”

Enjoys their R6 Mark III but feels they may have overspent compared with a discounted Mark II.

“I have the R6 M3 and I'm enjoying it, although I feel I overspent a bit”

Shoots the R6 Mark II and Mark III together; the III's AF is slightly stickier and its video is better, but it is a bit noisier at high ISO.

“the III’s AF feels a little stickier to me, but neither has been a dramatic difference in actual use. I also find the III slightly noisier at higher ISOs.”

Tried the R6 Mark III; autofocus was slightly better and it crops well, but low-light noise was worse, so they went back to the Mark II.

“However I got noisier photos zoomed in, low light, with Mark compared to older mark (probably due to bigger sensor). Because of this I went back to the mark II”

Has owned every R6; the Mark III is a bigger leap than the II, with better AF, pre-capture, resolution and battery, and nicer out-of-camera images, though slightly weaker in low light.

“I think the leap is greater between the R6Mk2 and R6Mk3.”

Shoots the R6 Mark III with the RF 200-800 and has loved every second, especially pre-capture mapped to a button.

Moved from a 70D to the R6 Mark III and spent the rest on lenses; no regrets.

“ended up going with a r6iii and spending the rest on lenses instead. No regerts.”

Owns an original R5 and R6, but since buying the R6 Mark III hasn't reached for either; calls it the resolution sweet spot.

“Bought the R6 mark 3 and haven't reached for either older body in a while. Its a great body and IMO the sweet spot for resolution.”

Moved from a Sony a7 III to the R6 Mark III and RF 15-35, partly for build quality; both are made in Japan.

“I bought an R6 MKIII & RF 15-35, both made in Japan, for some this may just be a detail, but for me it was important given most manufacturers are”

“I actually ended up with the R6 MK III also. Lot it, a bit smaller MP than the R5, but I'm playing with Macro and decided I”

Fashion photographer who shoots birds as a hobby: the R6 Mark III keeps animals in focus in flight, but its AF is only marginally better than the R8's.

Moved from the R50 to the R6 Mark III with no regrets; a hybrid workhorse for their professional work.

“I bought the R6 Mark III coming from the R50. I don’t regret it at all it’s just at the point where I’m more focused on my composition”
