![]() ![]() Lower pixel count also means bigger pixels, which translates to better light sensitivity and higher signal-to-noise ratio, giving the EOS R6 a native ISO range of 100-102,400 that can be expanded either side to ISO 50 and ISO 204,800 – a massive step up from the EOS R’s native ISO sensitivity of 100 to 40,000. If that’s not fast enough for you, just switch over to its electronic shutter and the R6 will match the EOS 1D X Mark III’s top speed of 20fps. The R6 can shoot bursts of 12fps when its mechanical shutter is in use – a remarkable number for a camera that’s aimed squarely at enthusiasts and hobbyists. In theory, this should even reduce rolling shutter distortions when using the sensor-based electronic shutter.Ģ0.1MP might seem like a step down for a camera that’s meant to be an all-rounder, but it’s all about the markedly improved speed. This has improved phase-difference detection autofocusing in Live View on the R6, and also allows for faster readout speeds during fast continuous shooting and while capturing 4K video at high frame rates. The updated sensor incorporates Canon’s second-generation Dual Pixel autofocus architecture (called Dual Pixel CMOS AF II). Canon’s target market for the new EOS R6 is “photographers more focused on stills” who may want to take videos occasionally, with the camera inheriting some top-end features from the EOS 1D X Mark III, starting with its processor.Ĭanon’s latest Digic X imaging engine works alongside a slightly redesigned 20.1MP full-frame CMOS sensor that, the manufacturer says, is “similar” to the one used in the sports DSLR. There have been so many cameras aimed at video makers that it’s refreshing to know manufacturers haven’t forgotten stills photographers. IBIS with up to 8 stops of compensation.(Image credit: TechRadar) Specs and features That said, given the R6’s feature set, it’s a competitive price point that’s only slightly higher than the $2,299 / £2,349 / AU$3,349 launch price of the EOS R. That’s an upper-midrange price tag for a camera Canon has classified as enthusiast-level, but costs about as much as other high-end contenders for the best mirrorless camera crown like the Nikon Z7 or the Sony A7R III, both of which have high-resolution sensors. The R6 will set you back $2,499 / £2,499 / AU$4,499, which isn’t cheap by any means. ![]() You may be able to book an EOS R6 with authorized Canon retailers right away, and they will be able to let you know when your unit will ship. Even then, there were – and still is – very limited stock reaching retailers worldwide due to the current pandemic affecting supply lines. Available right now for $2,499 / £2,499 / AU$4,499Īlthough Canon announced the EOS R6 (and the EOS R5) in early July, the camera didn’t begin shipping until late August.(Image credit: TechRadar) Canon EOS R6 price and availability But all that impressive performance doesn’t come cheap, with higher resolution full-frame mirrorless models now available at a similar price point. Overall, the EOS R6 is a massive upgrade from either the EOS 6D Mark II or even the EOS R and the EOS RP, and is deserving of its place in our guide to the best cameras for photography. ![]() Switch to its electronic shutter and it will match the sports DSLR’s whopping 20fps continuous shooting speed – more than enough for wildlife or sports photography. Then there’s the marked improvement in speed – while it can’t quite match the 1D X Mark III’s blitzing 16fps burst with the mechanical shutter, the R6 is capable of 12fps bursts. Yes, there are limitations when shooting 4K footage – and you aren’t going to get the R5’s impressive 8K option here – but Canon has made it very clear that the EOS R6 is first and foremost a stills camera. We've purchased the product and are waiting for it to arrive in our lab.It’s Canon’s first try at in-body image stabilization (IBIS) and, boy, has the company nailed it! It also makes shooting video an absolute pleasure. The product has arrived in our lab, and our testers will start evaluating it soon. Our testers have started testing this product. Lastly, we corrected the processor name from 'Digic X' to 'DIGIC X'.Īdded mention of the Fujifilm X-S20 to the 'Portability' section.Īdded a link to the Canon EOS R8 in the 'Photo RAW Noise' box.Īdded a link to the Fujifilm X-H2 in the 'Viewfinder' box. We've also updated the values for 'Bitrate Maximum in 4k' and 'Bitrate Maximum in FHD' and adjusted the 4k and FHD 'Video Internal Recording' scores accordingly since the camera can achieve higher bit rates when the 'HDR PQ' setting is enabled. We retested this camera's dynamic range with converted DNG files for consistency with the methodology used when testing other recent Canon cameras. ![]()
