It’s far from a fragile camera, but DSLRs always feel like you could bash down a door with them if you needed to this mirrorless body won’t take the same knocks and drops.Ĭanon EOS R6 with Canon RF 35mm f/1.8 IS STM (1/400sec, f/8, ISO100) (Image credit: James Artaius) Performance: Stills However, because it’s so much slimmer, the R6 isn’t as substantial as its bigger-boned DSLR counterpart. The back of the camera features a DSLR-like control wheel, replacing the compass-like D-pad buttons of the R and RP, and it also benefits from a joystick – a very welcome addition, which isn’t traditionally found on Canon's 6-series cameras.īeing that it is a 6-series body, the weather sealing is on par with the 6D Mark II. Like the RP it eschews the top OLED panel, and features a conventional Canon mode dial rather than the hybrid Mode button seen on the Canon EOS R and R5. The R6 closely resembles the Canon EOS RP in both looks and handling, though it’s notably chunkier to hold.

Its standard ISO range covers 100-102,400 (expandable to 50-204,800), and it can autofocus down to -6EV – which is the equivalent of a completely blacked-out room lit by a single candle.Īnd of course, it also features the long-awaited debut of Canon’s 5-axis in-body image stabilization system, which offers a CIPA-rated maximum of 8 stops of stability depending on the lens you mount – and it also stabilizes EF lenses, EF-S lenses, cine lenses and dumb lenses (with no electrical contacts).Ĭanon EOS R6 with Canon RF 24-104mm f/4-7.1 IS STM (1/400sec, f/8, ISO100) (Image credit: James Artaius / Digital Camera World) Build and handling Low light performance is actually superior on the R6 compared to the R5, thanks to the fewer (and, hence, larger) pixels on the image sensor.

Its video specs are robust, too, as the R6 can capture 8- or 10-bit 4K UHD footage at up to 60p, with 1080p / FullHD video at up to 120p (the latter not being an option on the R5), with full AF tracking functions supported across all video resolutions and frame-rates. And along with the R5, this body is the first to feature the next generation of Canon’s core autofocus tech, Dual Pixel AF II. The R6 even one-ups the flagship, as it also features Animal AF that can track dogs, cats and birds in flight by recognizing their eyes, faces and bodies. It also has the same amazing autofocus tech, built around Canon’s Deep Learning AF – the AI-originated algorithm that enables the camera to track eyes, faces and heads on human subjects. It also boasts the same top shooting speed, capable of cranking out 20 frames per second when shooting electronically or 12 frames via the mechanical shutter. For starters it features virtually the same 20.1MP sensor sensor, just without the fancy new low-pass filter (which remains exclusive to the Mark III and the EOS R5). The Canon EOS R6 may sit in parallel with the Canon EOS 6D Mark II in the product line-up, but it actually shares more in common with the flagship 1D X Mark III.
