    Battery life is as low as advertised but the camera itself is amazing. It did overheat but it wasn’t a deal breaker.

    This kind of replaces the Canon R but it’s one step down. I thought it would be similar but it is slightly less worth it than the R. The battery is tiny. And also I have never seen a heat monitor on an lcd of dslrs. I was taking pictures outdoors here in Texas and I had just started taking pictures and the temp icon comes on, I was surprised this even existed. I was nervous this would have over heated and timed out on me. If you can step further up from this camera, DO IT.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    Awesome camera with great features and at fraction of the price of the higher price canon cameras. The only con would be the missing in body stablization, but i knew that bwforw buying the camera so not really a con foe the price.

    I had a DSLR camera but wanted something smaller that I can travel with and would be a great everyday camera. This camera is lightweight and easy to travel with. I glad I pulled the trigger and made the purchase

    Best Full Frame mirrorless for the money

    The best full frame on the market for the price. Only adding a second SD slot would make it a perfect camera, I could nitpick, EVF a bit small and no full mechanical shutter but those are things that won’t affect much the user experience

    This camera is great. Even though i just got it and bought a beginner 50mm lens for it, the picture quality is amazing. Took it to Joshua Tree national park and got great daytime shots and even very good night sky shots

    Works great for video and photo. Silent shutter in photo mode is great, no sound at all. Video allows up to 2 hrs in HD. Used to film a play and work well with no heat issue in HD. Battery life is also good.

    I’ve waited a long time to upgrade my camera and was unsure which one I wanted to go with. I’m more of a hobby photographer and while the r6 mark ii was tempting, this camera has a lot of the same features and quite a bit cheaper.
