Rented the R6 V for a hot weekend event and shot 4K Fine all day without overheating, but was unhappy with its ergonomics and controls.
“I decided to rent the Canon R6 V with the new RF 20-50 f/4 over the weekend”

Bought the R6 V alongside an R5 II; controls are clunkier than expected but they like some design changes and the shared batteries.
“It is more clunky than I expected”
Their R6 V works normally on USB-PD power, but during interval and time-lapse shooting it never charges, so the battery drained and stopped a multi-day shoot.
“During a multi-day interval shoot, the LP-E6P eventually reached 0%, causing the camera to shut down and the ongoing interval sequence to stop completely.”
Added the R6 V next to an R5 C; it is far more nimble for B-roll, travel and social video, needs minimal rigging and has pretty decent battery life.
“R6 V is far more nimble and helps me move faster for B-rolls/travels/social media.”
Owns the R, R5, R6 V and R7; shoots indoor water polo and swimming with the R6 V and a 70-200 f/2.8 and finds it better in low light than the noisier R7.
“I own an R, R5, R6V and R7.”
