Tracking is equally effective and includes special options for humans and animals-including dogs, cats and even birds. The technology makes good use of almost 100% of the AF area. While I tend to err on the side of higher shutter speeds, combining the camera’s IBIS and the IS 24-105mm lens, I was able to grab some sharply focus shots handheld at 1/20 th second.Īlso introduced on these two cameras is the latest version of Canon’s outstanding Dual Pixel CMOS AF II for accurate and fast autofocus. Canon estimates its 5-axis in-body image stabilization compensates for up to 8 stops and although users no longer have to rely on IS RF lenses for stabilization, the two work well together. The EOS R6 and the R5 are the first Canon cameras to include in-body image stabilization. Overall performance is one of the Canon R6’s strong suits-from image stabilization to autofocus and pretty much everything in between. Of course, with the camera’s Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, you can shoot remotely and transfer images via a smart device and the Canon app. Additionally, you’ll find options for multiple exposures, HDR mode, interval/time lapse shooting and focus bracketing along with 4K video capture, which can be recorded internally up to 60fps. A wall charger is included but an optional USB power adapter can be used to charge the camera as well.įor most types of photographers, the Canon R6 has the features you’d expect from this class of camera such as multiple Picture Styles, the ability to tweak and customize those Styles, Exposure Simulation and more. In addition to the camera's dual card slots, which both support UHS-II SD cards, the Canon R6 is equipped with USB Type-C, HDMI micro and microphone and headphone ports. There’s no built-in flash but the Canon R6 does come with a hotshoe for attaching an external flash. The only caveat is that getting to know and implementing some of the R6's many features, including 4K video, may require some exploration above and beyond the basics. Other remaining dials and buttons are fairly standard, as is the Canon R6's menu system so users will get up and running with this camera with little effort. A joystick for adjusting focus points and navigating menus is a welcome addition. Having a small on/off dial on the top left of the camera is more convenient than I imagined and those who are used to standard mode dials will happily move through shooting modes with the Canon R6.

Since there's no direct ISO button, for example, I set the Quick Control Dial 2 to adjust light sensitivity, which makes it quick and easy to change ISO under changing lighting conditions. It’s possible to set up the camera for your personal preferences and rarely have to venture into a menu. Physical controls are within easy reach on the Canon R6 and buttons and dials are highly customizable. From selecting a focus point to enabling a touch shutter, users can also navigate menus and review images with a simple tap or swipe of a finger. Fully articulated for flexible shooting, the R6's vari-angle touchscreen was responsive and highly functional. Like its EVF, the Canon R6's 1.62-million dot, 3-inch rear LCD screen offers approximately 100% coverage and is bright and clear. Users can also opt to disable image review in the EVF. For one, I really liked enabling the vertical display option which positions shooting information at the bottom of the EVF when shooting in portrait mode. A couple of the R6's viewfinder features were especially handy during testing. The Canon R6's 3.69-million dot electronic viewfinder (EVF) offers approximately 100% coverage, a bright, clear view and provides a long list of data for quick reference. And, the Canon R6's nicely designed grip provides a solid handhold, although you’ll need a strong forearm to shoot one-handed.

At 5.45 x 3.84 x 3.48 inches and approximately 1.5 pounds-with battery and SD memory card-the R6 is large enough to offset longer lenses, such as the kit 24-105mm f/4 IS USM, without being overly bulky. The Canon EOS R6's camera body is well built and weather- and dust-resistant, albeit to a slightly lesser extent than the EOS R5.
