Damn!! You pitched a perfect game with this review. It is 2024 and I do not see your next reviews in YT yet. We want more as good as this. Best to you
I am preparing more reviews coming soon!
It is with a smile I'm typing out this comment - been looking around for hours over this week and learning about the whole mirrorless world since I'm considering jumping in (currently 5D MK 4, my beloved one) and I just wanted to let you know... this was as if I was speaking to a friend, a friend with Great knowledge and experience in the matters of these cameras and photography! Lovely tests and really lovely energy!!
Thanks again for an awesome comparison, looking forward to your future videos!
Thanks Man! Appreciate it!
Hey Alex, just came across your year old video R6 II vs R5, thanks for a sweet and short yet insightful presentation. I have been a R6 fan and saving to buy one, I’ve seen several videos on R6II VS other mirror less cameras none picks the categories you selected and delved into since I am still trying to get magnificent photos without editing, editing will come later when I am content with the basics. Thanks very much once again. Insightful.
Just picked up my R6 MK2 this past Tuesday. Quite enjoying it so far and coming from a 5D MK4 which I still have as well.
I have the 5D MK4 and wanna get the R6 MK2 as well! Is it a major upgrade for video and photos? I do IG lifestyle content if that helps.
I'm planning to get one today to replace my 5D Mk4. I'm a video shooter. U think it's worth the upgrade?
@@videovibes101 I’m in the same boat thinking of upgrading from 5D Mark IV and getting r6 MII
I also just upgraded from 5dmk4 to the r6mk2. Havent used it in real job yet but i thought this would be the logical choice.
What is the base iso for clog 3 ? On r6ii
The tracking on the R6 ii is absurdly amazing.
Is R6 MkII a worthy upgrade to the R6 is the question I have.... wondering if the lower MP R6 sensor will beat the new one in low light.
Thanks for doing this video. I've been using the R5 and in low light scenarios the autofocus is not good. I was curious when it came to photos in low light scenarios, like the reception, or concert, what is the autofocus like for photography on the R6 mark 2?
Since the R6 mark II has a new sensor equivalent to the R3. I would assume it would performed amazing in lowlight photography. I only do video, and it did so much better than the R5 on a wedding I just did.
The 40 FPS elecotrnic shutter got me. I just ordered the R6MK2 half an hour ago with an extra battery. The fact that it has a newer sensor with greater read-out speed, 40 FPS in elec and has better thermals .. I had to submit
I have had all of the 5 series, then switched over to R. Have had all of those as well. Currently, I have the R5 and R6 and absolutely love the R6. It is my go to more often than the R5 - when I do not need those extra MPs. I have been considering switching the R5 for the R6M2 and that story continues. Difficult to make the decision. The seldom times I use the 45MP sensor are for landscape images or weddings (outdoor). But even a wedding these days does not require a massive sensor. There are options within LR and PS that will allow you to double an image size - almost as good as a large sensor image.
What print size image would be the largest you feel you could comfortably to with the R6M2?
That’s a really helpful review, Alex. I just bought the R6ii and agree. Low light is great and the slow motion much better than in the preproduction models. First I thought I should get the R5C as a b cam for the C70 but now I am happy about the R6ii especially because of the great battery life. But would you say the oversampled codecs of the R5C in 4k are still much superior to the the 4k of the R6ii?
I would say a little better on the R5C since I owned one before, but not much of a difference in my opinion.
@@AlexPizarro This answer saves my sleep, Alex, ha ha. Which lens is your favourite on the R6ii for run and gun?
They already sell the r6 ii in stores in which country you are
How much did you buy the r6 ii?
Hi 🙂
Can you record 4k ProRes to the Ninja V+ with this camera?
Or do you have to record the full 6K output feed?
We would like to save space, by recording a 4k downsampled ProRes Raw or ProRes 422.
Thx!
Yes, you should be able to record 4k ProRes to the Ninja V+. I have the Ninja V and I'm able to do that.
Damn Canon - if they made R6II with 30 MP will be perfect.
You would NEVER notice 5 extra mega-pixels. 😆
Thanks for a very interesting video. It sounds like your conclusion, so far, is that the R5 isn't worth the extra money, unless you intend to do a lot of cropping (in stills), and you need the megapixels. Is that right?
As far as to what I come to conclude yes.
8k 12 bit raw. 43mp sensor. 120 fps slow mo 4k. R5 is no slouch.
How would the low light video capabilities compare to a Sony A7IIII?
Awesome video thanks so much for making this! Cant wait to get my Mark II!
Your Welcome there is still more to come!
The deal breaker for me is not having a full size HDMI port. Tired of the problems I've had with my existing camera. Haw do you deal with that, do you use an external monitor? Thanks for the video.
Hello Alex ,thanks alot for the nice video,you said that the r6 mark ii was sharper ,does this apply to photos too or just videos ?
Since I do videos it is sharper on the video side
I ordered my r6 mark ii and can’t wait to have it in my hands
4K60 on the R6 mark I isn't pixel binned either, this option was always better than the R5. The R5C though isn't pixel binned only R5
Great stuff here. I've used Canon DSLRs since 2003, and have never really thought about moving to mirrorless. But I find myself getting more and more tempted to add the R62 to my bag. I'm starting to think I'm going to take the plunge, perhaps in the new year.
I haven't been shooting as long as you, but I have been a full time working professional for almost 2 years.
Mirrorless Canon vs DSLR Canon feels like playing a game with cheat codes on. It makes things SO easy mate.
I shoot weddings so being in unpredictable, uncontrollable environments constantly, the AF systems on these mirrorless (R5/R/6 and after) really makes my job easier and lets me get better results/way less missed shots.
Do yourself a favour and do it quickly.
Unfortunately, I didn't notice the difference in the noises. The R5 seemed to me not to lag behind the R6 mark 2. Is it the same for everyone? I turned on 4k video quality and watched on a 4k monitor. I don't see the difference, no matter how hard I try
Great video brother i hope you keep making them
Just got an r6mkii for 1999. Love it
This was very helpful. Thank you. I’m a Nikon user and I currently possess the Nikon D800 E and two Nikon D 500s. I’ve been happy with my camera equipment but now that I’m getting into cinematography the auto focus tracking on Nikon is not as good as Canon and I was checking out the EOSR which I’m considering getting however, I’m not crazy about that having a one memory card slot so I was questioning if I should get the are five or six however, I don’t want 45 megapixel and from your comparison of the R6 mark two in low light conditions and the sharpness I will most likely be going with the Mark II R6 and when I’m ready selling my Nikon’s equipment to switch over to Canon.
This video is very helpful. Thank you very much.
Thank you for your feedback, I am glad I was able to help 🙂
I have the R5 and use it mostly for wildlife and landscapes, the 45mp makes a huge difference then. Am thinking of getting the R6 II for a backup and low light. It's pretty simple the lower the mp the better the low light, always been that way. The higher the mp the more you can crop that 500mm, 600mm shot.
I agree. Especially wildlife to get the detail. There is no comparison there.
I have a 5D Mark IV decided to add (not replace) either an R6 II or R5 to my stable, mainly for the better tracking when shooting birds and wildlife. I will keep (for now) the 5D4 as it's still a great camera and I love the way it feels. I really wanted the R5 for its increased resolution and ability to crop more, but dang, the $1400 price difference. So, I actually had the R6II in the cart when I decided to go take one more look at the R5. That's what I saw the store had just posted a lightly used R5 with 24-105 RF lens that was just a little more than $400 more than the R6II and lens I had in the cart. It was used, but 9+ condition with low shutter count. At that price, I could afford to by the store's "1 or 2 year protection plan" since this used R5 didn't have the Canon warranty. I thought about it for about 7.6 milliseconds, and bought the lightly used R5. A bit of a gamble I know, and had that used deal not popped up, I would have gotten the R62.
Really really thanks from Spain. I suscribe right now. Great comparison, now I’m sure that I will buy R6mII
Thank you Roberto for your support!
For someone slightly more video focused over photo, would you go used Canon 5 or canon R6 II?
At this point since I just tested out the R6 Mark II vs the R5 when it comes to video, I would go with the R6 II because it sticks with the subjects more than the R5.
Glad I watched this. I’ve had the r6 mark ii for around a year now and the image quality for stills is absolutely superb. I shoot wildlife and the eyes on the subjects are perfectly shaped, glossy, crystal clear, smooth and just beautiful. I’m just starting to use the video but I’m lost with all this Clog stuff. I use Lightroom to edit stills but it’s not much good for editing video. If anyone has any Apps for editing Clog video I’d be grateful. Would be great if they were free or relatively cheap to buy.
Hi Alex, I want to do an upgrade for my canon 550D I’m not a professional photographer still learning. I want to do pet photography and landscaping, wildlife as well. I was thinking about 90D but it’s not full frame, then I thought about 5D mark IV and it’s very heavy for my hands to be honest though it’s a good camera. I never used a mirrorless and it will be a big change for me I know that the future probably with mirrorless cameras for sure. I can’t afford R5 unfortunately but thinking about R6 … please let me know what would you recommend? thank you 🙏🏻☺️
Thank you for this information in your scenario, since photography is your main objective. I would 100% recommend the R6 since I get it the R5 has more megapixels the R6 is amazing in low light situations :)
I own a R6 MK II and love it but I am thinking on getting the R5. I tend to crop a lot because the type of photography I do and the R5 should fit me better.
R6 mk2 is a better option right now in 2023 than R5. Only if u need to crop a lot go R5
How is the r6ii FHD120p compared to the r6i?
On the r6i it was very bad!
Yes it was , I love this version its much improved. I sold my Canon R6 a while back
can I shoot 4k hq in the r6 2? I love the hq on the r5 its son sharp when you zoom, but according to you the the r6 mark 2 is sharper than the r5 hq 4k, is it correct?
It looks like that way on my results which is crazy!, also youtube takes time to render my 4k video upload.
No need for a "HQ" mode on the R6 II because it's always in downsample 6K to 4K mode. The R5 had this because of overheat issues where the 8K to 4K would overheat so they had a lower quality mode that had pixel binning.
I really like my Canon R6 mark11. Tracking the eyes and quality of pictures in different lighting are the best. My poor Canon 5dmark iv is setting in case.
Has anyone used Topaz Gigapixel to enlarge images from the r6 mii?
I use with my 7d mark2 photos. Gigapixel is pretty much sunset and clubbed into Photo AI
Iam seeing the r6 m2 vs r5 how the marketing of the 2 is leaning toward the r6 its like canon is paying off the r5 people to switch to the r6. Just wondering for a friend 😊😊😊
Great vid. Have the R6 ii and was going to purchase the R5 ii when it comes out in 2024 but not now. Instead I am keeping my R6 and buying a pair of Scansonic Q3 speakers for my music system.
Here in Canada the R6 II is $3200 and the R5 is $5200.
I really like the body on the R5 much more (and the R) vs the R6/II. But is it worth $2000? It's really hard to justify.
In Finland R5 is 3450€ and R6II is 3100€ 😁
@@henakos Seriously?! Basically the same price.
@@henakos 😮😮😮
Meanwhile in Denmark there is a 12 000 kroner difference in price between the two
I use the R5 C for my 8k 60fps HDR RUclips videos! Great Video! Thank you for the information!
Storage for these 8K videos must be massive!
@@AlexPizarro yes it is. On my 3rd 18TB drive
I own an 7dII and a 5dIII. I disliked the R-Series except the R5. But now the R6II seems to be perfect. For wildlife I'd prefer 32 MP. Now I'm unsure which one to replace. I like the full frame of the 5dIII but also the crop and the AF points of the 7dII.
Thank you for making this video 😊
My pleasure 😊
In many ways I think the R6-Mk-II is better than the R5, but rumors are flying that there is an R5 Mk-II coming that's expected to have a stacked sensor like the R3 and many other goodies making it "near flagship" as the world prepares for the R1.
there is some ways its worse... IPB vs ALL-i (you cant ALL-i even into ninja v with r6/6ii), megapixels if you work in macro or cropping for photos, 4k 120 is way better when pixel peeping (and in studio or outdoors in light presented here you can have similar results with MFT cameras no matter lol)
btw i am R6 owner
Going to keep my R5 but definitely selling my R61 and picking up the R62
I've been using r6ii for a few days now testing video autofocus and really impressed. sticks to subject much better than a nikon z8 i was using. really liked the image coming out of that camera but video autofocus was a real pain especially shooting sports (indoor basketball and sideline lacrosse shooting). Plus the weight of the z8 and lenses was absurd. I have an R5 on the way to test but feel i'm going to be hard pressed to move on from 6ii.
I can purchase a bnew R5 in 2024 (on sale) at almost the same price as R6 MII (retail). Should i go with R5?
same here, i think we should wait for R5 mark ii
Is this video supposed to convince me? Ok I'm convinced.
The R6ii has the best color science of amy camera ive ever seen. Its gorgeous out of camera. The light fall of and microcontrast is incredible, and that was a specific goal of Canons when developing that 24mp sensor, which is used in the R8 and R3 also (a stacked version of the same sensor design). That said, i would love to have that sensor but the R5 has a CF Express card slot. I just bought a 1tb angel bird card for $200. Try buying 1tb in v90 sd cards, see how expensive that is. As nice as it looks, its not big enough to ignore the practicality of fhe R5 workflow.
R6ii DR is 12 stops at best which is pushing me towards Lumix S5ii
Except that the Lumix S5ii crops at 60fps unfortunately.
Else, it would've been the perfect camera.
Right now I’m unpacking my new R6 Mark II. Battery is fully unchanged so I’m writing)))
In my opinion the focus should not be on video performance. For professional videos there are much better options to buy, eg. Canon XA-series. R5 and R6ii are especially for taking pictures!
No it isn’t, it’s a hybrid camera.
Does the new R6 overheat?
That video is coming soon!
Thank you for this great review!!
Excellent Analysis👍
I own several bodies but of these I have the S1R
The R5 does have better 4K than 6DMKII. R5 can do 4K ALL I & 4K HQ and yes 4K 120.
I own the first R6 & the R5.. my buddy just got the R6II.
The R6ii does have solid 4k & is technically everything I wish the first R6 was..
The R6ii will be better than the R5 in low light which I'd what I use my R6 for now. I will be upgrading from the R6 to the R6ii.. whenever stores Have it in stock again
I really love having both.
I'm looking forward to the R5II.. If the rumors are correct, I'll be buying that too.
I have the R5 and R6ii, both fantastic. I use the R5 for stills mainly and the r6ii as my go to video camera unless I need to flex 8k for whatever reason. I'm with you on the R5ii, waiting patiently too.
glad i found your comment here) writing the same, ALL-i vs IPB thats all needed to know, difference is crucial, but not everyone use or need it
2 excellent cameras but both overpriced. I have the Canon 2000D at about £400 in the UK. It's almost impossible to tell the difference in photo quality. I don't need all the whistles and bells.
the r6ii is absolutely and definitively sh1te in low light focusing. Did an dancing event and could not hit the mark most of the time, which is embarrassing for a paid gig. Had to revert to the 5diii I had luckily brought along and THAT worked better. And yes, I tried different AF modes etc and was on case 2.
Conclusion: R6 mkii is BETTER than R5.
Video is better on R5.
