The Canon EOS R6 is one of a duo of full-frame mirrorless cameras from the big-name in photography. It represents a coming-of-age for the EOS R system and shows off what this heritage company really is capable of when it puts its mind to it.

Superb autofocusing, Great all-rounder, Fast shooting

4K video overheating issues, Fairly low resolution, Pricey

We may have waited a while for Canon to get itself into gear with the full-frame mirrorless format, but cameras like the EOS R6 show what the company can do when it puts its mind to it. The EOS R6 is a fantastic all-rounder that serves all sorts of photographers. It can shoot everything from landscapes to portraits to action, plus pretty much everything in between – and do a thoroughly decent job of it. Particularly impressive is the super-quick autofocusing, and its ability to recognise eyes, both animal and human. That’s not to say that this is the perfect camera by any means. Vloggers are better served elsewhere, while the relatively low-resolution sensor may not be appealing to those who like to photograph extremely detailed subjects. Then there’s the price. Although the EOS R6 is much cheaper than its more expensive R5 stablemate, it’s still more costly than rival models which tick similar boxes, such as the Nikon Z6 II and the Sony A7III. All the same, unless affordability is your primary concern, the EOS R6 delivers a lot for your money – particularly if you're an existing Canon user.

Costs more than closest rivals; Overheats when shooting video; Relatively low-resolution sensor;

While it's a shame that picture and sound quality haven't been upgraded, the iPhone 13 was great in these regards and the iPhone 14 is, too Excellent display Admirable headphone performance Solid build quality No upgrades to picture or sound Familiar design Notch is still present

Without a doubt, Canon has done a remarkable job with the EOS R6. While I was very impressed by the specifications of the camera when it was announced together with the R5, after my experience with the original EOS R, I did not have very high expectations.

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.

Stills + Video shooters needing utter dependability.

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.

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

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. The tendency to overheat if used before shooting video undermines its appeal for people shooting video and stills together, but the footage is best-in-class if you can work around this limitation. A superb photographers' camera, even if it's not quite the perfect hybrid model.

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.
