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

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. The asking price could be yet more competitive and the resolution a little higher though.

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. Long story short, it’s one of the best all-rounders you can get, although its 20MP sensor resolution might not suit everyone.

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 EOS R6 is Canon's best mirrorless camera, with a stabilized, full-frame image sensor and an outstanding autofocus system, but video-first creatives will want to look elsewhere.

Outstanding 20MP image sensor; Quick; smart autofocus; Subject tracking at 20fps; Large; crisp EVF; Swing-out touch LCD; Dual UHS-II SDXC card slots; Strong 4K video quality

4K60 recording limited by heat; Fewer pixels than most competitors; Battery life could be better; Lens system still has room for growth

The Canon EOS R6 ($2,499, body only) is the more affordable of the company's pair of pro- and enthusiast-geared full-frame cameras. It's built to (almost) the same stringent standards as the 45MP EOS R5 ($3,899), but with a more down-to-earth 20MP pixel count. If you don't need loads of resolution, it's the better Canon mirrorless camera to get, as its autofocus, capture speed, and IBIS system are just as good as the high-dollar R6.A Pro-Grade, Full-Frame Build Canon has managed to pack quite a bit of camera into the R6's magnesium frame. The body measures 3.8 by 5.4 by 3.5 inches (HWD) and weighs in at 1.5 pounds—it's a little bit smaller and lighter than the 7D Mark II, but the R6 sensor is twice the size and mounted to a 5-axis stabilizer. The R6 gets there with a mirrorless design, one that drops the optics and flapping mirror used by SLRs in favor of an EVF with a direct view from the sensor. It doesn't feel undersized, either—a textured handgrip and angled shutter release m...

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 EOS R6 exceeded my expectations in most areas, and while it’s definitely an issue, I don’t think the overheating is a deal-breaker for many hybrid shooters that will take stills and capture video.

The new Canon EOS R6 targeted at professional users is the Japanese company’s latest stab at the mirrorless market, following up on the EOS R and EOS RP out last year.

The Canon EOS R6 is a versatile all-round camera that can shoot pretty much anything. Aside from a few differences, it's essentially an EOS R5 with lower resolution and less high-end video.

Best autofocus in town; Best full-frame IBIS; Pro-grade burst shooting; Twin card slots

Is 20.1MP enough?; Recording limits on 4K

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.
