Customer Ratings & Reviews

Bought this as a hoped for upgrade to my previous Canons (20D, 7D, 5Diii-- now 12 year old tec). Had a variety of Ef lenses so bought the adapter rather than springing for the RF (and quite expensive) ones. I also have an old 2x offbrand teleconverter I rarely used because the autofocus never worked with my previous camera bodies. Also own a 400EX flash gun, Kenko extension tubes and a Yongnuo setup to handle off camera flash. Much to my surprise and delight, they all work. The teleconverter now provides autofocus for my 70-200 f/4 L (non IS but in body IS takes over nicely) lens, though not the Sigma 140-500. The handgrip doesn't fit (smaller body than the 5D) and my remote shutter releases don't fit the socket (why Lord why change the connection?). However, the Yongnuo can be attached to the camera to act as a remote release and it works. The manual says that the rc-6 is compatible but other sources, including Canon's own, doesn't list it as a compatible camera. Hmmmm. No cable to connect the camera to my computer is provided. Why is that left out? In theory, I could connect using bluetooth. I prefer to use my card reader instead. I have only had the camera for about 10 days and haven't had a chance to test it in all or even my preferred conditions. So far, image quality is very good, with high ISO images cleaning up quite nicely in Lightroom. My landscapes seem to need a bit more work than my 5D ones did, but that could be due to my changing notions about appearance and the lighting conditions I have had. I have never been one to test the various autofocus options available on my previous cameras. The controls on the r6 are much easier to find and work very well. My backyard songbirds seem to have a higher hit rate using the eye detect animal, servo, high ISO and shutter priority set (1/500 second). This combination, esp with a tripod mount, might not be that different from what I would have gotten with my previous setup but I am satisfied, even it I am simply experiencing a placebo effect. Controls seem well organized, but it has taken me some effort to find them and learn to use them. After taking on that learning curve, I am pleased; they seem actually simpler. Sample images are all worked over in Lightroom, not straight out of the camera; I'm an intermediate skilled photographer and Lightroom user. Your mileage may differ.

I love this camera. I do event photography and lifestyle and it's amazing. the quality and use of the camera are very easy to learn. ONLY issue I have experienced was it overheated on ( 4k 24fps ) after using for 45 mins straight ( recording pastor in church ) but then i put it into ( 1080P 24fps ) and i could shoot all day long. if you shoot 4k 24fps in small clips here and there ( b roll ) it works great This is my hybrid camera so as I shoot video, I switch over to pictures, get a couple of shots, and back to taking video. Handels any job so far that I've had it. I love it it's perfect for what I do. I have it paired with a canon 28-70 F2 its heavy but a beast !! amazing set up !

Now that I’ve had this camera body for a few months, I can confidently say that it has transformed my work. I shot portraits on a canon rebel XSi for something like 5 years, so obviously any upgrade in iso performance and autofocus quality in particular is substantial in my case. That being said, the autofocus is absolutely fantastic. Once you learn your way around the numerous modes and scenario options, soft focus will be a problem of the past. I’ve found that I feel comfortable using ISO as high as 3200 without noticing much noise, and higher ISO settings have minimal effect on the dynamic range. On that note, the color rendering and dynamic range are absolutely fantastic. It is disappointing that canon would lower the mp count to 20 for this camera to lower the cost, but it has not been an issue for me as long as I’m intentional about my framing while shooting so I don’t have to crop much. For those of us who can’t afford the r5, I think this is an all-round great body.

I've had a long line of Canon cameras starting with a T2i and including several APS-C and FF EF-mount cameras. With exception of a brief relationship with the original Eos-M, this is my first mirrorless camera, and this camera is SO MUCH FUN TO USE. The controls are perfect, so good in fact that I've made the jump to shooting in Manual mode after being a dedicated Av mode shooter with my previous cameras. The autofocus is fantastic and quite magical to see the eye-detect follow birds around. Dynamic range and high-ISO performance are leaps above the 7Dii that I replaced. My EF lenses are working great with the EF-EosR adapter (sold separately). I haven't tried video yet.

I specifically bought this camera for taking indoor sports pictures. I used it with a rental Canon RF 70-200mm f2.8l lens and my pictures came out awesome! I've yet to try it with Canon RF 70-200mm f4l lens to see if that lens may suffice since it's cheaper and available to buy in the market right now. Battery lasted the whole day. Overall I'm very happy with this camera. Very easy to use and RF lenses are significantly a lot lighter than EF lenses. It's great taking pictures even in low light. I'm very happy with this purchase.

What can’t I say. I upgraded from an 80D to an R6. I was considering the Black Magic 6K, but the R6 saved me a few hundred dollars. The 4K is a beast and Canon come out with an update that adds a slightly lower nitrate to the 4K, but you can barely tell. It makes editing easier and takes a little les space on your SD Card. The R6 doesn’t overheat and is really lightweight with the RF 50 MM. it’s worth the money.

This is a fantastic camera for sports photography. The focus tracking is great for sports like baseball and soccer. Lot more keeper images as compared to the 5D Mark IV. I’ve also sot pictures of humming birds at feeders and the eye tracking worked very well.

Photography is my hobby, I preorder the Canon R6 and just shipped to me couple days ago. My primary reason to pick the canon R6 is the new eye auto focus and the 20fps, because I like to shoot wild life and outdoor activities. My have been using the 7DmarkII over the year, I love this camera, but it’s an APS-C sensor. R6 is a full frame and I can just use my existed EF lenses with the EF-RF adaptor. My first impression of this camera is the ergonomic grip. It provides you a Canon feels, but much lighter than the 7D mark ii. When point it to a bird or animal, it locks up in to the animal eye, and that is a sure focus. Lots of reviews talk about the overheat issue on this camera, but I don’t shoot much of video, so I am not worry about it. Canon will come up with latter firmware to fix it just like the issue on the EOS-R. I plan to make some videos with the Canon R6 in the future, and hope by then Canon will find solution to the heat issue. At the main time I am excited to put it to more test in wild live animal shooting. Button line coming from 7Dmark 2, this camera is also 20mgpixels just like 7D mark ii, but it is far superior in every aspects. When you put an EF-S on this camera; it automatic crops the lens into 1.6 reduction so the 20mg to 10mg, but that’s OK. The beauty about it is that I can use all my existed EF lenses in this camera with no issue.

Love my mirrorless so far, I switched from my Canon DSLR, 5DM4 which I loved but this is just completely a different experience. I love how it weighs less and it shoots beautifully. I love that it has two SD card slots instead of one and then one of the big cards, this is so much more convenient for me. The lens finder is digital which is a little different to get used to but really cool. You can adjust all your settings so easily and see exactly what your photo will look like through both the viewfinder and the screen, regardless of how you’re shooting, before you even take the picture which saves me a lot of time. I do use an adapter because I have invested in all my other lenses for my DSLR but I haven’t had any focusing issues. I will say though don’t waste the money on the body + lens package, just purchase the body if you can. I ended up just switching both of my camera bodies to mirrorless in the end (this review is on my second body after having my first for a couple months), so worth it!

This camera has been the absolute best purchase. I bought it a year and a half ago and it has been so much fun. I never thought I would get the same enjoyment out of a mirrorless camera as I did my DSLR, but it has been a game changer.

When I first purchased this camera, I was a little skeptical as to if 20mp would be enough for the photography work I do. Oh, boy was a shocked at how amazing of quality I was able to get out of this camera! Being a Hockey photographer, I needed a camera that would lock on to focus and stay locked on. This camera does everything I need and more to capture great images for hockey! I am very impressed with the technology in this camera!

Totally worth the money, very light, and very good quality.

I love my Canon R6. Does great video and looks better in lower light than my canon R. Auto focus is super snappy and the photos look good as well. The only reason it's not 5/5 for me is the overheating when recording too much 4k. Happened twice while recording outside so it was pretty hot. If you don't plan on recording your whole shoot in 4k outside I say this is a great camera for the money.

Shipped quickly and arrived undamaged and ready to go! I’ve been loving learning how to use it. There are a lot of different options for even the most simple functions (like dozens of autofocus settings and adjustments), so I’ve needed a lot more time to get used to this camera than I did when I bought my first DSLR in 2008. I’m not complaining, I love the options! Just plan on spending more time learning how to utilize most of them.

Great first full frame camera. I recently sold off my M5 and was on the hunt for something more prosumer. I was lucky enough to snag this body and combine it with a discount in my Member Offers to make the deal even sweeter. I was not thrilled about the prices of the RF lenses but after waiting a few weeks, I was able to snag a 85mm and pre-ordered the 50mm. So far I am blown away by the results. My only complaint is I wish it had a top OLED screen like the r5 but I wasn't about to drop an extra $1,500. Images are crisp and the entry level RF glass if more than adequate to get the job done.

Great camera, excellent quality and fast. It is expensive but less expensive than the new High end R series cameras.

Was a gift for my wife. Cannon makes outstanding cameras and you can see it through the quality of the pictures. Probably the only gift I’ve given her that gets constant use. It makes her pics look incredibly professional even though she’s amateur.

It’s best camera I have used. Superior low-light performance. I used it for astro photography mostly. Fast auto-focus with eye detection. Great for portrait, animal photos. Great camera for capturing candid details at events. Wide range of lenses (EF and RF).

Love this camera. Makes focusing in manual mode so easy! Pictures are crisp and it is so worth the purchase! I was hesitant to make the purchase but such an upgrade from my Rebel T7.

Skip the R and jump to the r6! It has everything you will want and more! The dual card slots are a must and I feel at ease having that. I get crystal clear, perfect images, even in low light. I do not regret this purchase in any way.
