Low Battery Life: 360 shots, 1.07x crop on 4K Videos

After listening to feedback from a wide range of users, including churches, Canon launches two new cameras and four new lenses designed to meet the needs and demands of a variety of content creators.

The EOS R6 may have been over-shadowed by the headline-grabbing R5, but quietly becomes one of the most compelling cameras in Canon’s range. Compared to the R5, it may lack the 45 Megapixels, 8k video, slow-motion 4k, more detailed viewfinder and slightly tougher build, but it’s more notable how...

The Canon EOS R6 is a lightning-fast camera, primarily for sports and action.

Compact and light with lightning-fast autofocus and shooting pace. Good battery life and high user-friendliness. Excellent image stabilization. Hosted camera housing.

Image dynamics one step behind the best, and moderate detail resolution on still images.

The Canon EOS R6 offers much of the capability of the EOS-1D X III in an enthusiast-level mirrorless body. It's only a 20MP camera but one that can produce great results across a huge range of photographic challenges.

A wide range of photographers, anyone looking to adopt the RF mount.

Stills + Video shooters needing utter dependability.

It may not have a class-leading resolution but the Canon EOS R6 is a phenomenally good stills camera. Its autofocus system is fantastic and it can keep track of fast subjects moving in random directions with ease while shooting at 20 frames per second.

Similar 20Mp full-frame sensor to the Canon EOS 1D X Mark III, 12fps/20fps continuous shooting, Superb autofocus system

Slight crop in 4K video mode, 6Mp lower resolution than the Canon EOS 6D Mark II, Serious heat generation issues with 4K video

The Canon EOS R6 might be the mirrorless alternative to the very popular EOS 6D Mark II DSLR, but it’s way more than just an upgrade. Its autofocus performance and image stabilization are best-in-class, while a blitzing burst speed makes it perfect for any sports or wildlife scenario.

Best-in-class autofocus, Excellent full-frame IBIS, HEIF file support

4K video recording limitations, Disappointing dynamic range in JPEGs, Expensive for an enthusiast-level camera

The resolution might seem low for a camera of this type, but the resulting quality from this full-frame sensor is superb. Add on-board stabilisation, more advanced autofocus than before, and heaps of speed when it comes to burst shooting, and the R6 certainly appeals.

Great image quality from full-frame sensor and RF mount lneses, Electronic viewfinder is of great quality and scale, Dual Pixel CMOS AF II autofocus system adds Eye/Face/Pet detection

20-megapixels is kind-of low these days, Video capture limitations (time/overheating known issues), Price could be more competitive

Whilst the Canon EOS R5 may have had all the lime-light, and been the centre of attention for all the right (and wrong) reasons, thanks to having a stand out feature of 8K video recording, It's the Canon EOS R6 that's likely to be of most interest to most photographers.

Excellent image quality, Good resolution electronic viewfinder, Great vari-angle touch-screen, In-body image stabilisation (IBIS), 4K 60fps video recording, Dual SD card slots, Very good handling and controls, Impressive noise control

Shorter battery life with EVF, Doesn't offer 4K DCI video, Limited compact lenses available

In our opinion the EOS R6 sits at the top of Canon’s current mirrorless camera range, largely because it ticks so many boxes and is a better all-round camera than its higher-priced sibling.
