This full-frame mirrorless camera offers a 10-bit 4K video, which is great, but does have overheating issues, plus it’ll cost you heart stopping USD $2,500!
Taken from Engadget … With the launch of the EOS R6, Canon finally seemed to have a camera that could live up to the potential of its RF-mount system and take on rivals. With a 20.1-megapixel sensor much like the one on its pro-level 1DX Mark III DSLR, along with in-body stabilization, Dual Pixel autofocus and 10-bit 4K 60 fps video, it has killer specs for a $2,500 camera.
It looked like Canon had got everything right, but then reality set in. While the small body handles great, it doesn’t dissipate heat well, which limits the camera’s use for long shooting sessions. On top of that, the video dynamic range is below rival Sony and Panasonic models that cost less.
Pros
- 4K 10-bit video
- 5-axis stabilization
- Flip-out display
- Compact size
- Top-notch video and photo autofocus
- Good image quality
Cons
- Overheating issues
- Middling dynamic range
- Lousy menus
- Micro HDMI port
Summary
Canon’s EOS R6 is the full-frame camera everyone wished for instead of the EOS R. While the 20-megapixel sensor lacks resolution compared to rivals, it offers in-body stabilization, Dual Pixel autofocus and 10-bit 4K 60 fps video — all killer specs for a $2,500 camera. On the downside, overheating issues limit recording and recovery times, meaning it’s not a great choice for folks who need to shoot more than 30 minute takes. Otherwise, it’s a great handling camera that delivers excellent photo and video quality.
