Canon EOS R6

The Canon EOS R6 promises "unprecedented levels of speed, operational ease, image quality and low light shooting". So far, so good! Let's take a look at this new mirrorless camera in greater detail.


Corner to corner coverage

The R6 boasts 100% x 100% AF frame coverage to every corner of the shot. In conjunction with advanced AF subject tracking for human eye, face and head detect and animal eye, face and whole body detect, this means your shots won't miss a thing.


Fast and silent

The R6 makes no shutter noise, and is capable of shooting up to 20 frames per second with full autofocus and auto exposure tracking support.


Movie magic

With more and more of us using our cameras for video purposes, Canon satisfies our demands with crystal-clear 4K 60p movie recording and Full HD 120p. 


A stable genius

One of the smartest and most talked about features is the 5-Axis in Body Image Stabilizer (IBIS). This means image stabilization is possible even when using non stabilized lenses. When used in partnership with selected Canon RF lenses, the IBIS works in tandem with the lens-based Image Stabilizer to deliver coordinated control and reduce camera-shake blur up to an awesome 8 stops of shutter speed.


Dual SD card slots

The R6 makes it possible to instantly backup by writing direct to both cards at the same time, or recording one file type to one card and another type to the 2nd card.

Canon EOS R6 Body with EF Adapter EOSR6BB-AD review

“With the ergonomics of a DSLR but the benefits of a mirrorless, the EOS R6 is a compelling hybrid.”

Sharp photos and videos; Smooth autofocus; Fast shooting speed; Excellent stabilization; Good low light performance; Comfortable grip

A bit bulky; Buffer struggles with long bursts; Animal Eye AF under-performed; Short 4K recording due to overheating

Canon EOS R6 Body with EF Adapter EOSR6BB-AD review

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

Canon EOS R6 Body with EF Adapter EOSR6BB-AD review

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

Canon EOS R6 Body with EF Adapter EOSR6BB-AD review

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

Canon EOS R6 Body with EF Adapter EOSR6BB-AD review

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

Canon EOS R6 review: Lower resolution, higher quality?

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.

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;

Canon EOS R6 Review

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...

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.

Canon EOS R6 review: A mirrorless to sway DSLR diehards

Canon had a bit of an identity crisis making the switch to full-frame mirrorless, with the throttled budget RP and good, but not very competitive, EOS R. The company’s second set of full-frame mirrorless cameras, however, appear to promise more of what Canon’s DSLRs were known for, and then some, with in-body image stabilization, 12 fps bursts, and the next generation of Dual Pixel autofocus inside the Canon EOS R6 and R5. The R6 is the cheaper of the two newly-announced cameras, selling for about $2,500 for the body-only and offering a lower resolution 20.1-megapixel sensor, a plastic body instead of magnesium alloy, and skipping some of the R5’s biggest features, like 8K video. But while the feature list is shorter, the R6 still manages to include the same in-body stabilization, the same burst speed, and a similar autofocus system. Shooting with the R6 feels like shooting with a DSLR — except for the electronic viewfinder — down to the grip, control scheme, and even size. That could ...

Sharp photos and videos; Smooth autofocus; Fast shooting speed; Excellent stabilization; Good low light performance; Comfortable grip;

A bit bulky; Buffer struggles with long bursts; Animal Eye AF under-performed; Short 4K recording due to overheating;

Canon EOS R6 review

The Apple iPhone 14 isn’t a huge upgrade on the iPhone 13, yet it still is a great phone with a top camera, good battery life and all the iOS benefits.

Clever safety features, Very good battery life, Reliable camera, Fun colours, You’ve got an ageing iPhone: If you’re on an iPhone 11 or older, then the changes here will make a notable difference.

Stuck on a 60Hz display, Minimal differences to the iPhone 13, You’ve got an iPhone 13: The changes from Apple’s previous phone aren’t enough to warrant an upgrade this year.

The Apple iPhone 14 is no match for the just-released iPhone 14 Pro, but if you ignore that, it’s one of the most effective phones around.

Great cameras, front and back, Fast performance, Good battery life, Innovative safety features

Design too familiar, Some average features
