I started my photography journey with a Canon Rebel SL1 and I gifted myself with the R6 right when it was released!! I freaking love it!! I never felt there was a learning curve. It has given me a renewed excitement about photography! And with your educational videos, I'm on top of the world! I do enjoy peanut butter with vanilla ice cream with chocolate chips! Thank you so much for all that you do!! ❤
Venessa!! Thank you so much for this! Finally made the full switch to two of these from my 1dx. It honestly made me feel like a new photographer all over again!
Thanks for the great review. I got the R6 and I am really enjoying it. The high speed and tracking for kids is just in another level. I was as many people concerned by the 20MP, but I am not really missing having more.
Spot on girl! Once again you've pointed out all the important things. Understanding what's relevant will help your viewers. For my work it was the reliability of the R5 AF you've mentioned, since the most time consuming part of my editing has always been, checking focus. On a regular shoot day, I shoot between 5000-6000 frames. After selecting, there are still 2500-3000 frames left. which I have to check for focus (keeps me up all night). I just finished a weeks shoot for a mail order company with the R5. After checking focus for the first 4 days and not finding any out of focus frames, I felt confident enough to skip checking focus. That's a first and makes a huge difference in sleeping time!!! Keep doing this. You're a great guide! Matthaeus
Thanks a million for the practical review! I rented an R6 last month to shoot a festival along side my trusty 6D. You were absolutely right - the ergonomics are spot on, and muscle memory made it entirely painless to swap back and forth between cameras. In fact, I loved the R6 so much that I picked one up last week. Also, peanut butter on fresh celery. 😊
I went from a 10 year old DSLR to the R5, and the learning curve to mirrorless was minimal. It was more learning a new camera, where all of the buttons & their functionality are. Plus learning the new menus, plus the menu system for video.
As a 1DxII owner the really difference with the 1DXIII and R6 is totally Durability and weather related. You can drop the 1DXIII and it will still work. The R6 you might break the IBIS. The 1D series camera was designed for photographers who were going to be using the camera in rough conditions and who would be shooting a high frame rate. Not so much Frame Speed as frame rate. The first year with my 1DxII I should over 100 thousand images. I have had that camera since it came out and have never had the shutter replaced. It will be interesting to see what the life of the R series camera will be when it come to durability. All great gear from canon and all tools that can do what ever you throw at it. I can say this my R camera (that isn't sealed) has worked flawlessly in foul weather. I'm sure that these new bodies and all the new bodies to come will be great tools.
Having used the 1DX III professionally and owning the R6 the difference in IQ is non existent. Yes it’s not built like a tank but if you think it cannot take knocks then think again. The AF and IBIS are in another league to the 1DX III making getting keepers much much easier and predictable.
I shot an event today with my R6. Used the Tamron 35-150 f2.8-4 and a Westcott FJ80 on camera. I set my aperature to F4 so that as I was zooming in and out my f-stop would not change. I also shot M Auto ISO. The event was in a very dark room with a lot of dark wood so I was worried about high ISO and noise. The R6 killed it! A lot of my shots were taken at 6400 ISO and had very little noise. Definitely boosted my confidence in this camera. I normally shoot wildlife and landscapes. The R6 was my upgrade from the 7DMII. The auto focus, eye tracking, burst rate...excellent! FYI, my backup camera is a 1DX. It's in a drawer collecting dust. :)

Thanks for a comprehensive and very "real life" approach review. Totally like the way you present the camera. I came from the 5D4, naturally my perception with the megapixel driven me to choose R5 for it's higher resolution. Like you, I do missed the optical view finder when shooting with flash. Rolling shutter, banding and battery power consumption are some other areas I need to think of when shooting with R5. Oh, by the way, If I am not mistaken, at 36:18 and 39:27, "Exposure Simulation" should be the correct term rather than "Exposure Compensation. Once again, thank you so much Vanessa. Your work is amazing!
The fact that you shot a paid professional wedding with the R6 is more than enough to silence issues one may have about lesser megapixels than the original R. The difference with R5 would definitely be noticeable and More MP is always great but the benefits of the R6 having two affordable card formats over the R5 and the lower file size will greatly reduce overall cost and workflow time. Add to that the EOS R being quite inferior in features and more importantly ergonomic and buttons, the R6 does make a better case for itself. The only major issue I see as a crop shooter is the fact that adapting my crop glass even to the R5 might not yield the best resolution let alone on the R6. But that's something for you all to keep in mind
21:08 I am currently waiting for the R6 to arrive at my doorstep so I can't say for sure, but I think you can activate an automatic closing of the shutter when you detach the lens in the menu...
Thank u so...much Vanessa. Now I have plenty of info. on the R5. and If I should purchase it. Already have an R6 I will give that one to my husband as the second shooter.
great video. I have the RP and and the R6 and just upgraded my RP to a second R6.... LOVE LOVE LOVE the R6, and even if you crop, 20MP is still plenty!!! and LOVE JARED POLIN!!!
Just finished the video. Thank you for all the helpful info.. I have a 6DMII and was thinking it may be time to upgrade..the R6 may be my new jam lol..thanks again and its celery sticks with PB and raisins.. SO GOOD
Peanut Butter on waffles - I am a Brooklyn based Documentary Filmmaker and in the process of updating my rig for my next film project I watched Jared's R6 video, and immediately stopped looking at replacement video cameras and picked up the R6 with the 24-105 lens. I love how this camera shoots and now I can get back into seriously shooting stills again as well as video. Loved your breakdown of the R6!!!
The shutter closes on the EOS R while changing lenses with the camera on. I’m extremely surprised and disappointed that they didn’t keep that feature in the R6. I’m definitely still getting it though👀 great video!
I have bought an R6 today on Amazon to use as my 2nd camera along with my awesome R5; delivery in 4 days from now. My main use for this would be for birds and wildlife; using the Canon 100-400L ii + a canon 1.4 teleconverter. I am quite sure that 20MP would be good enough, as we have all survived for so long with the 7D Mkii and even lower MP models. Looking forward to shooting with my new toy. :) Thanks Vanessa for a fantastic session.
I love peanut butter just off the spoon right from the jar! I have had the R6 for 2 months and LOVE it! I photograph portraits, macro images and landscapes 🙌🏻❤️
You're absolutely right about focus, it's so easy it feels like I'm cheating! I loved the AutoFocus improvement from the 5D Mk4 to the EOS R, but the EOS R5/R6 is another very noticeable step forward. Also using the ProGrade cards in my R5. They're great cards. I have the "Exposure Simulation" mapped to my "Favorites" menu so I can quickly turn it off if I'm using strobes. The only reason I didn't get the R6 was the lack of a top LCD display. I actually use that quite a bit, especially shooting with two bodies, so I had to go with two R5 bodies instead. Stuck around to the end and I have to say that I love peanut butter and honey sandwiches, tastes almost like caramel.
@@MrGeorgephadel - The R5 has a top LCD display, but the R6 does not, it only has knobs/dials on top. Every camera body I've owned since the old Canon 20D has had a top LCD display so it's not something I want to give up.
Great summary. The only question left on my side is: How to set up the Profoto Flash on a R5/R6. I have some trouble with that and couldn't find much about that case. My you have a good take on that. Thank you so much.
I don't like peanut butter but I absolutely like your hardwork and professionalism. I think this is a better review of the Canon EOS R6 than anyone or anywhere else. And I don't think it can be done better.......from a wedding photographer's perspective. Of course 'better camera' is a subjective topic but you laid out your use case perfectly and a professional with a brain can easily decipher useful info from this. So thank you!
Peanut butter on an apple or dark chocolate..toss up! :) thanks for this video. I did get an R6 and largely based on your earlier reviews - rather than the R5. I was concerned about the megapixels but got over it pretty quickly. Thanks for all the content you put out.
Okay, I haven't seen your videos before and my guess was this was going to suck like many other comparison videos and to my surprise it was very good. I couldn't find any decent "real world" comparisons and finally you have made one. By the way I am still undecided as to which way to go. I currently have a R and like the image quality but the psychological "hit" of going back to 20 MP is why I haven't bought the R6 yet...but I sure fell like it would be great after this video. Thanks!
I rented a R5 for two weeks over Christmas and NY. What a fantastic bit of kit. Eye tracking and target holding is insane. I’ve got to be honest. It almost felt to easy once I had it set up. Now saving to buy one.
I would love to have the R5 because I do wildlife but l get by pretty good with my R6 . You did pretty well with the 1Dx 111 it's the same pixel count. I think it's a lot the glass!
Can’t get enough of your videos. Because of you, I’m thinking of switching from being a Nikon guy for 20 years or so, to Canon platform. Love you Vanessa Joy! ❤️
Vanessa is always a joy to look at - as she is taking it from there very practical side - she actually makes me consider to safe my budget and maybe go with the R6 rather than the R5 ... will see
@@VanessaJoy well I have studied the specs again (and some other reviews) technically there are no great differences unless you are taking videos... since I am more on photography than videography the R6 does for me pretty much the same job as the R5 - then for me the only criteria I have to get my head around is the difference on Megapixel - and as you said as long someone is not doing huge banners six-foot-high (which is not my case), my present DLSR has 20ish, and that is fine - I am actually getting more my head around the R6 and maybe invest the savings in glass :-)
Thank you for the review and info! I was able to rent and test out the R6 and have to admit fell in love even with the fewer pixels.... unfortunately covid has made my wish list restrictive.. but honestly had so much fun playing with the camera and am afraid to test the R5 knowing I'm gonna love even more.. :( My favorite thing to put peanut butter on is chocolate!!!
Not a working pro, but it is a solid side business until I retire from my government job. Anyway, thanks for the great real world review and showing samples. I recently purchased an EF 135 f/2 and while at the shop testing it on my R, I asked the salesman to try it on their R6. What a wonderful body it is and I can't wait to get my hands on it.
Thanks for the review. I'm a amateur who takes pictures for myself and events for friends. I upgraded a couple of years ago to the 90d and having been thinking of buying something full-frame for awhile. And since the world is going mirrorless, this appears to be the best camera for someone with quite a bit of Canon glass. Oh, I don't eat peanut butter. Crazy, I know.
Here in Australia the R5 is over $5500 (not to mention the crazy prices for the lenses) I have a 5Ds and a 5D3 and a 7D and really the choice comes down to what else I could do with my $$$ to progress my shoots - studio time ? Travel to a great location , models MUA's , Lenses , lighting gear ... Props ... all these things might get me better shots than a new Camera - even one as capable as the R6 and R5 Great video @Vanessa thank you !
Appreciate you sharing your experience and knowledge, and your honest, approachable and fun delivery. Subscribed. I look forward to learning lots. I'm a 5D4 shooter who shoots mostly sports. I've never had the autofocus on be fast enough to capture speedskating. I'm leaning towards the R5, as I frequently crop down the photos. And I'm a bit spoiled by the 30 megapixels in the 5D4. Thanks for the video!
Peanut butter is icky. Thanks for this; I stepped up from the R to the R5, and now also have the R6 (so as of right now I have all three!). I also upgraded all of my glass to RF (with the exception of MACRO; I ordered the EF100 2.8L). What an amazing setup.
I have question, just bought R5($4300) with RF 24-70 f2.8, unfortunately not able to get any sharp images at all,and find out My R5 r5 sensor misalignment, I’m not sure is really misalignment or because not latest firmware , I’m thinning return my R5 and buy new R6 or just replace with another R5, any thoughts? Thanks
A very nice review. I feel like the R6 compliments my 5D4. Both are great with landscapes and sunsets. The 5D4 is better for me doing macro work and the R6 has increased my birds-in-flight keeper rate.
I'm not going to say what I like to put peanut butter on as it's boring, but as someone whose R5 turns up the day after tomorrow, I really appreciated your video. Your style makes for an easy to watch video and the sample images helped show what the camera is capable of. If only I was as good.
My favorite thing to put peanut butter on was ice cream with a celery stick as a scooper, until I became allergic to peanuts 🙄☹😔. On another note, great review and comparison! I have been thinking about getting an R6 as a backup to my R5.
I did the same thing. I use the R6 with out the grip to decrease the weight. The battery is awesome for still. I shot 1320 pics on one battery at a wedding 3 weeks ago. It’s also a lowlight monster
I subbed. I have this camera I’ve had the 1DX MK II and went back to the R6 after giving it up. I do photography and videography too. I put cinestyle on the R6 too and EOS HD CLog which allows you to shoot pics too.
Nice overview of the R6! I recently picked one up for my portraiture work and spoke to the people on Canon's Live Chat service who were able to also recommend me the best lens and accessories to go with it, and I am having so much fun taking pictures with this camera!
I learned a lot thru this Video and I really enjoyed watching you tell us what you think and feel about these two (R5/R6) awesome Camera. I will definitely pick up a R6. For what I do this camera is more then enough plus I will have all these amazing key features. Thank you so much Ms. Joy for this very informative Video. In my opinion it's nothing weird but my favorite Peanut Butter Combo is the Old Fashion Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich.
Don't switch yet until the evf gets improved. I tried the camera and just couldn't get used to the evf. It was weird so until then. I am still shooting with a 6d mark II
If you don't count bread topped with a few pickles, celery is best. I have a 7D Mark II and desperately want to upgrade to mirrorless full frame. I've watched several reviews and the R6 is my next camera. Your R6 review was just what I needed to decide, thanks!
Really surprises me that Vanessa Joy doesn't have about half a million subs. 1) She's got great, consistent content. 2) She's a Canon EOL. 3) She rubs shoulders with some big names on RUclips. 4) She's extremely easy on the eyes. :-) I keep looking out for her to really blow up on RUclips.
You are right the focusing system is the same, they have the same amount of phase detection, but they use the normal pixel for the AI-People/Animal detecting and the eye detection. The R5 has more pixels, the R6 has more contrast in the less but larger more sensitive pixels. You have to say where the difference might be, I assume in lowlight, the bit higher contrast of the R6 may be better, but not so much that it actually is feelable. But what would you say about the lenses? They dwarfed the camera and the lenses are growing (28-70f2 or 85f1.2 are larger than before on a smaller camera). The R6 has a better contrast/line resolution than the 26 MP predecessors however the R has a bit more but not so much as the 30MP would expect you to have. I found the adapter working perfectly, but the handling is not perfect as a lens like the 24-70Lf2.8 is front heavy and the camera is small to keep up with the weight distribution here (but the pictures are great and autofocus is better than with ever STM RF lens.) I used it with a current Godox flash and the pictures are perfectly lightened (distribution, shadows smooth, color natural and on the point)
It may not be important, but the R6 photos, at 20 MP vs 45MP will require less storage and processing power on your computer when compared to the R5. If the resolution isn't that critical to a person's work, then this could be a factor in your decision criteria.
The R6 is an amazing all around camera. Due to the pixel wars, so many are convinced they need more, more, more in pixel count. Has everyone forgot how many magazine covers where shot with the Canon 5D Classic? A mere 10 mpxl camera...or what about the rave reviews of the 40D....How many wildlife publications published images from that camera. Now, if we don't have 45 Mpxl, we're toast, cause if it is cropped, then we'll only have 14 left....I have 2 prints on my walls...both are literally 3 foot x 4 foot...taken with.................a 7 megapixel camera...go figure.
Fav thing is Apples... or just eating it out of the jar... But in all seriousness... contemplating making the switch from Nikon to Canon... possibly even as soon as the end of the year so I'm here watching as many videos as possible on the R5/6... trying to learn the difference between the R vs R Mark II's
Oooo fun! I haven’t used anything Nikon in years so I’m not the best person to help You compare, but I can tell you what I love about canon! This video is the newest camera that I’m using for weddings, portraits and corporate: ruclips.net/video/roDVZG1ULRM/видео.htmlsi=t-8lz3E5kbrjM1OL
Thanks for the review Vanessa! I have an R and just bought the R6 based in part on your video.Not sure which one is going to be primary and backup. Hope IBIS is silent, because the sound of lens stabilization, which seems to run almost constantly in the R, upsets the critters I photograph. Hope R6 lets me turn on silent IBIS and silent shutter while shutting off whine-y lens stabilization. My favorite feature of R is manual focus guide, and whoever at Canon created it deserves a hug. ...By the way, I like to put peanut butter on doggy treats...what dog doesn't love peanut butter frosted cookies? :).
@@VanessaJoy Absolutely. Was thinking of switching to Sony but now !!! But I would want to use it for video too. You have a very easy style. Your shows are fun and very informative on a practical level. Your wedding shoot venues are fantastic. I am sure it’s been a journey. Keep up the great work.
Now that the 50 was announced (purchased) i have my budget line up for everything i want to do. Glad i upgraded to the r6 instead of staying with the rp.
Vanessa to you're so easy to watch😍😍. I'll never use a Canon as lifetime Nikon and recent Sony convert but found myself watching just for the sake of it 😁
Peanut butter on graham crackers....or a dark chocolate candy bar. I rented an R6 for the weekend. I really enjoyed it. Mainly wanted the high frame rates for my daughter's sports. I have a 5D3 that I've had forever and really like. 23mp vs 20 didn't yield much of a difference, but dang that AF system is light years ahead on the R6. Since I can't afford the really big glass for soccer, the only thing in the back of my head is whether the higher MP count of the R5 would be better? More cropping possible. The cost is so high though, not just the body but the CFEx cards too.
You do not have to use the CF Express unless you want to make use of the dual card slots. An alternative to using dual cards is to use the WiFi to your mobile phone.
The 1DX III has an optical low pass filter. The R6 according to Canon has a non-optical low pass filter that is built into the sensor. I assume that means a digital filter, but they didn’t make in clear on their website.
The R6 has an optical low pass filter TOO. The R6 has the same sensor and the same DIGIC-X processor as the 1DX III. Since it is not feasible to have IBIS in DSLRs, only R6 has IBIS and 1DX III has not.
It will be the R6 - i always loved the clarity of the 1dx photos…. But i will keep my 5dmarkIV for landscape and cropping ;=))) thanks for your intense video and congrats for your wonderful wedding photography
Hi Vanessa, I have just bought the R6 without watching your review first, and after seeing your review it just gave me peace of mind that I chose the right camera for me. The R5 would be nice also but I couldn’t justify the higher price point since I’m not a professional photographer just someone that enjoys photography in general and wanted a good camera. I have always owned Canon so wasn’t going to jump ship to Sony or Nikon either. Thanks for the great review.
How do You feel dynamic range of R5? I have made some test with r5, 5d4 and A73 by underexposing by -3ev and then getting +4ev In the lightroom. All photos made on ISO200 with f4. I noticed that the best image I get with A73. The r5 had some little color issues. Some magenta on photos. On 5d4 i saw magenta and banding.
hahah! Love peanut butter on my squares of dark 72+ chocolate. ;-).... Thank you for the review. I still use a 6D and 6D mark II. Glad I didn't not just jump into to the 1st mirrorless camera. After your review now I have choices and sound less scary since I can keep my lesses for a bit more. Yay! Thanks again.
Thank you, Vanessa, for this outstanding and practical review. Now, the answer to your personal question: I like sweet and salty, that's why I put Peanut Butter on my cookies, occasionally :-)
I have been waiting for years to upgrade from crop sensor DSLR. Still haven't decided and still with 80D. Thinking about R6 but have difficulties with overcoming this psychological barrier of moving from 24 megapixels to 20. Ugh!
Peter, I’m with you. I also have the 80D and want to upgrade to full frame but I think what I may do is get the 6D M2 and a couple of nice lenses instead of the R6. What are your thoughts about this?
@@peterlechowski2691 I just said F' it and bought the R6 with the 24-105 f4 L glass. Just got it the other day. Can't wait to unbox it and get out there with it!
As I really don't like peanut butter the answer is nothing, lol!!! That's a very negative start to a positive post. I really enjoyed your vid. I feel like it could have been me talking. Well I'm 62 and male and ........ But seriously as a free lance photographer that shoots everything from, interiors through, portraits to events plus the odd wedding I totally get your lack of getting hung up about tec. It's what comes out that matters and you have given a very useful and honest insight into the R6. As I have always had champagne tastes and beer bottle pockets the R6 is more within my reach than the R5, especially in Covid times. After listening to you though I feel confident to make the next upgrade the R6 and know that it will meet my needs. Even if I FEEL I would like the R5 ;)
I started my photography journey with a Canon Rebel SL1 and I gifted myself with the R6 right when it was released!! I freaking love it!! I never felt there was a learning curve.

@@novainvicta Hi! Would you still advise the R6 over the 1dxiii for professional use? Since I could have them at around the same price…
Just purchased Canon R6. Super excited to use it this weekend at a rodeo.
Have fun!

I can't wait to see your review on the R3
Fantastic review of the R6! I think you have convinced me that it's the camera for me! Thank you!!
The fact that you shot a paid professional wedding with the R6 is more than enough to silence issues one may have about lesser megapixels than the original R. The difference with R5 would definitely be noticeable and More MP is always great but the benefits of the R6 having two affordable card formats over the R5 and the lower file size will greatly reduce overall cost and workflow time.

Probably the best review of R6, covering all topics well. But you were also joy to watch and kept me glued👍
Aw thanks 😊

Very natural presentation. She knows what she knows and what she doesn't she says so. Must admit I do fancy getting R6.
Thank you Vanessa! Will have my R6 next week :):)
Yaaaahhh finally here to watch this! Thank you Vanessa.
Yayyyyy
Peanut Butter on waffles - I am a Brooklyn based Documentary Filmmaker and in the process of updating my rig for my next film project I watched Jared's R6 video, and immediately stopped looking at replacement video cameras and picked up the R6 with the 24-105 lens. I love how this camera shoots and now I can get back into seriously shooting stills again as well as video. Loved your breakdown of the R6!!!
I'm OBSESSED with peanut butter on waffles (and pancakes). :-)
Canon EOS R6 is amazing because of the 20MP from the 1dx mark iii
It's like a mini 1dx .
The shutter closes on the EOS R while changing lenses with the camera on. I’m extremely surprised and disappointed that they didn’t keep that feature in the R6. I’m definitely still getting it though👀 great video!
the shutter does shut
Toast
Thanks for the photographers viewpoint.
I have bought an R6 today on Amazon to use as my 2nd camera along with my awesome R5; delivery in 4 days from now. My main use for this would be for birds and wildlife; using the Canon 100-400L ii + a canon 1.4 teleconverter. I am quite sure that 20MP would be good enough, as we have all survived for so long with the 7D Mkii and even lower MP models. Looking forward to shooting with my new toy. :) Thanks Vanessa for a fantastic session.
I'm considering switching from Nikon....this certainly helps. It's a painful move for my pocket tough, Thanks for your video and comments
I love peanut butter just off the spoon right from the jar! I have had the R6 for 2 months and LOVE it! I photograph portraits, macro images and landscapes 🙌🏻❤️
You're absolutely right about focus, it's so easy it feels like I'm cheating!
I loved the AutoFocus improvement from the 5D Mk4 to the EOS R, but the EOS R5/R6 is another very noticeable step forward.
Also using the ProGrade cards in my R5. They're great cards.
I have the "Exposure Simulation" mapped to my "Favorites" menu so I can quickly turn it off if I'm using strobes.
The only reason I didn't get the R6 was the lack of a top LCD display. I actually use that quite a bit, especially shooting with two bodies, so I had to go with two R5 bodies instead.
Stuck around to the end and I have to say that I love peanut butter and honey sandwiches, tastes almost like caramel.
The lack of top LCD?? Can you please explain that? Thank you!
Pro grade cards?? Can you please explain thank you!
@@MrGeorgephadel - The R5 has a top LCD display, but the R6 does not, it only has knobs/dials on top. Every camera body I've owned since the old Canon 20D has had a top LCD display so it's not something I want to give up.
Great summary. The only question left on my side is: How to set up the Profoto Flash on a R5/R6. I have some trouble with that and couldn't find much about that case. My you have a good take on that. Thank you so much.
I much prefer reviews from working photographers than pure techies as for polin enough said
Well you’ve come to the right place 😉
I don't like peanut butter but I absolutely like your hardwork and professionalism. I think this is a better review of the Canon EOS R6 than anyone or anywhere else. And I don't think it can be done better.......from a wedding photographer's perspective. Of course 'better camera' is a subjective topic but you laid out your use case perfectly and a professional with a brain can easily decipher useful info from this. So thank you!
Peanut butter on an apple or dark chocolate..toss up! :) thanks for this video. I did get an R6 and largely based on your earlier reviews - rather than the R5. I was concerned about the megapixels but got over it pretty quickly. Thanks for all the content you put out.
Ooooo dark chocolate for the win!
Okay, I haven't seen your videos before and my guess was this was going to suck like many other comparison videos and to my surprise it was very good. I couldn't find any decent "real world" comparisons and finally you have made one. By the way I am still undecided as to which way to go. I currently have a R and like the image quality but the psychological "hit" of going back to 20 MP is why I haven't bought the R6 yet...but I sure fell like it would be great after this video. Thanks!
Aw this is great. Thanks!!!
holy cow this was a very informative video; thanks! That said I like putting it in milkshakes and on hot toast
Sounds great! yummmm
Love your reviews. You have a really positive vibe.
Thanks Joe!
I rented a R5 for two weeks over Christmas and NY. What a fantastic bit of kit. Eye tracking and target holding is insane. I’ve got to be honest. It almost felt to easy once I had it set up. Now saving to buy one.
Haha it IS too easy
I would love to have the R5 because I do wildlife but l get by pretty good with my R6 . You did pretty well with the 1Dx 111 it's the same pixel count. I think it's a lot the glass!
Can’t get enough of your videos. Because of you, I’m thinking of switching from being a Nikon guy for 20 years or so, to Canon platform.
Love you Vanessa Joy! ❤️
She’s super chill.
This creepy nerd
I just got mine and I love it 🥰
Vanessa is always a joy to look at - as she is taking it from there very practical side - she actually makes me consider to safe my budget and maybe go with the R6 rather than the R5 ... will see
lmk what you decide
@@VanessaJoy well I have studied the specs again (and some other reviews) technically there are no great differences unless you are taking videos... since I am more on photography than videography the R6 does for me pretty much the same job as the R5 - then for me the only criteria I have to get my head around is the difference on Megapixel - and as you said as long someone is not doing huge banners six-foot-high (which is not my case), my present DLSR has 20ish, and that is fine - I am actually getting more my head around the R6 and maybe invest the savings in glass :-)
@@VanessaJoy and by the way: I have a canon PowerShot G1X Mark iii (24,2 MP) as my daily camera in the bag ... and it does great shots
Loving my R6 so far!!!!!!
Thank you for the review and info! I was able to rent and test out the R6 and have to admit fell in love even with the fewer pixels.... unfortunately covid has made my wish list restrictive.. but honestly had so much fun playing with the camera and am afraid to test the R5 knowing I'm gonna love even more.. :( My favorite thing to put peanut butter on is chocolate!!!
Not a working pro, but it is a solid side business until I retire from my government job. Anyway, thanks for the great real world review and showing samples. I recently purchased an EF 135 f/2 and while at the shop testing it on my R, I asked the salesman to try it on their R6. What a wonderful body it is and I can't wait to get my hands on it.
Thanks for the review. I'm a amateur who takes pictures for myself and events for friends. I upgraded a couple of years ago to the 90d and having been thinking of buying something full-frame for awhile. And since the world is going mirrorless, this appears to be the best camera for someone with quite a bit of Canon glass. Oh, I don't eat peanut butter. Crazy, I know.
Here in Australia the R5 is over $5500 (not to mention the crazy prices for the lenses) I have a 5Ds and a 5D3 and a 7D and really the choice comes down to what else I could do with my $$$ to progress my shoots - studio time ? Travel to a great location , models MUA's , Lenses , lighting gear ... Props ... all these things might get me better shots than a new Camera - even one as capable as the R6 and R5
Great video @Vanessa thank you !
V, you are awesome and most importantly share really valuable info. Thank you.
She is a real pro photographer! 🤩
A great review Vanessa. I am definitely sold on the R6 so now to go and buy it!
Hope you enjoy it!
Appreciate you sharing your experience and knowledge, and your honest, approachable and fun delivery. Subscribed. I look forward to learning lots. I'm a 5D4 shooter who shoots mostly sports. I've never had the autofocus on be fast enough to capture speedskating. I'm leaning towards the R5, as I frequently crop down the photos. And I'm a bit spoiled by the 30 megapixels in the 5D4. Thanks for the video!
Thank you so much!
Thank you for all the videos you have made for us. I have a 5D4 and will upgrade to R5 per your video.
Peanut butter is icky.
Thanks for this; I stepped up from the R to the R5, and now also have the R6 (so as of right now I have all three!). I also upgraded all of my glass to RF (with the exception of MACRO; I ordered the EF100 2.8L). What an amazing setup.
A crazy amazing setup you have for sure!
I have question, just bought R5($4300) with RF 24-70 f2.8, unfortunately not able to get any sharp images at all,and find out My R5 r5 sensor misalignment,
I’m not sure is really misalignment or because not latest firmware , I’m thinning return my R5 and buy new R6 or just replace with another R5, any thoughts?
Thanks
A very nice review. I feel like the R6 compliments my 5D4. Both are great with landscapes and sunsets. The 5D4 is better for me doing macro work and the R6 has increased my birds-in-flight keeper rate.
Good choice!
I'm not going to say what I like to put peanut butter on as it's boring, but as someone whose R5 turns up the day after tomorrow, I really appreciated your video. Your style makes for an easy to watch video and the sample images helped show what the camera is capable of. If only I was as good.
Hope it helps!
When I first read about the R6, I thought it would be great at low light. I want one. Great video BTW.
My favorite thing to put peanut butter on was ice cream with a celery stick as a scooper, until I became allergic to peanuts 🙄☹😔.
On another note, great review and comparison! I have been thinking about getting an R6 as a backup to my R5.
I did the same thing. I use the R6 with out the grip to decrease the weight. The battery is awesome for still. I shot 1320 pics on one battery at a wedding 3 weeks ago. It’s also a lowlight monster
first time for everything..you have inspired me to go rent the R6 for tonights hockey game. thank you. " I hATE PEANUT BUTTER" LOL
Thanks so much, just brought an R6 today!! Peanut butter... on a spoon :)
On a spoon is the best
I subbed. I have this camera I’ve had the 1DX MK II and went back to the R6 after giving it up. I do photography and videography too. I put cinestyle on the R6 too and EOS HD CLog which allows you to shoot pics too.
Nice!! Thanks for being here ☺️
Nice overview of the R6! I recently picked one up for my portraiture work and spoke to the people on Canon's Live Chat service who were able to also recommend me the best lens and accessories to go with it, and I am having so much fun taking pictures with this camera!
Which lens do you have?
I learned a lot thru this Video and I really enjoyed watching you tell us what you think and feel about these two (R5/R6) awesome Camera.
I will definitely pick up a R6.
For what I do this camera is more then enough plus I will have all these amazing key features.
Thank you so much Ms. Joy for this very informative Video.
In my opinion it's nothing weird but my favorite Peanut Butter Combo is the Old Fashion Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich.
Don't switch yet until the evf gets improved. I tried the camera and just couldn't get used to the evf. It was weird so until then. I am still shooting with a 6d mark II
Can the 24-105 RF cover most of the shooting can you shoot a variety of things with out changing lenses
sure...assuming you only want to go as low as f/4 :-)
If you don't count bread topped with a few pickles, celery is best. I have a 7D Mark II and desperately want to upgrade to mirrorless full frame. I've watched several reviews and the R6 is my next camera. Your R6 review was just what I needed to decide, thanks!
Glad you like!
thank you gorgeous woman!, i got me a r6 from a d80, i will do some wedding work, hope i did well, see you!
Really surprises me that Vanessa Joy doesn't have about half a million subs. 1) She's got great, consistent content. 2) She's a Canon EOL. 3) She rubs shoulders with some big names on RUclips. 4) She's extremely easy on the eyes. :-) I keep looking out for her to really blow up on RUclips.
@@ZachAshcraft Attractive people generally are more successful in front of the camera. (For example, Hollywood.)
I hope so one day!! And thank you :). I appreciate all the nice things you said.
Hey I work on my body and exercise and diet so I consider that an achievement too 🤷🏻♀️
You are right the focusing system is the same, they have the same amount of phase detection, but they use the normal pixel for the AI-People/Animal detecting and the eye detection. The R5 has more pixels, the R6 has more contrast in the less but larger more sensitive pixels. You have to say where the difference might be, I assume in lowlight, the bit higher contrast of the R6 may be better, but not so much that it actually is feelable. But what would you say about the lenses? They dwarfed the camera and the lenses are growing (28-70f2 or 85f1.2 are larger than before on a smaller camera). The R6 has a better contrast/line resolution than the 26 MP predecessors however the R has a bit more but not so much as the 30MP would expect you to have. I found the adapter working perfectly, but the handling is not perfect as a lens like the 24-70Lf2.8 is front heavy and the camera is small to keep up with the weight distribution here (but the pictures are great and autofocus is better than with ever STM RF lens.) I used it with a current Godox flash and the pictures are perfectly lightened (distribution, shadows smooth, color natural and on the point)
I’m excited for this
It may not be important, but the R6 photos, at 20 MP vs 45MP will require less storage and processing power on your computer when compared to the R5. If the resolution isn't that critical to a person's work, then this could be a factor in your decision criteria.
The R6 is an amazing all around camera. Due to the pixel wars, so many are convinced they need more, more, more in pixel count. Has everyone forgot how many magazine covers where shot with the Canon 5D Classic? A mere 10 mpxl camera...or what about the rave reviews of the 40D....How many wildlife publications published images from that camera. Now, if we don't have 45 Mpxl, we're toast, cause if it is cropped, then we'll only have 14 left....I have 2 prints on my walls...both are literally 3 foot x 4 foot...taken with.................a 7 megapixel camera...go figure.
Haha pixel wars…
Fav thing is Apples... or just eating it out of the jar...
But in all seriousness... contemplating making the switch from Nikon to Canon... possibly even as soon as the end of the year so I'm here watching as many videos as possible on the R5/6... trying to learn the difference between the R vs R Mark II's
Oooo fun! I haven’t used anything Nikon in years so I’m not the best person to help
You compare, but I can tell you what I love about canon! This video is the newest camera that I’m using for weddings, portraits and corporate: ruclips.net/video/roDVZG1ULRM/видео.htmlsi=t-8lz3E5kbrjM1OL
Great video Just upgraded to a R6 from RP big difference auto focus super fast. also got the RF 100-500 get lens very clear
Niiiice
Absolutely right informations you gave us
Thank you so much
You are fav photographer.
💯
Myself.
That's my favourite thing to put peanut butter on ;)
lol
Thanks for the review Vanessa! I have an R and just bought the R6 based in part on your video.Not sure which one is going to be primary and backup. Hope IBIS is silent, because the sound of lens stabilization, which seems to run almost constantly in the R, upsets the critters I photograph. Hope R6 lets me turn on silent IBIS and silent shutter while shutting off whine-y lens stabilization. My favorite feature of R is manual focus guide, and whoever at Canon created it deserves a hug. ...By the way, I like to put peanut butter on doggy treats...what dog doesn't love peanut butter frosted cookies? :).
Love your honest opinions. Thanks
Thanks for watching!
Tried out the R6 for a couples of days and found the focusing amazing and the viewfinder wonderful. Planning to try out the R5 soon.
crazy good right?
@@VanessaJoy Absolutely. Was thinking of switching to Sony but now !!! But I would want to use it for video too.
You have a very easy style. Your shows are fun and very informative on a practical level. Your wedding shoot venues are fantastic. I am sure it’s been a journey. Keep up the great work.
No comment on the peanut butter Vanessa 😂 and wishful thinking of winning a camera 📸 great video again 👍🏻
Now that the 50 was announced (purchased) i have my budget line up for everything i want to do. Glad i upgraded to the r6 instead of staying with the rp.
Vanessa to you're so easy to watch😍😍. I'll never use a Canon as lifetime Nikon and recent Sony convert but found myself watching just for the sake of it 😁
Aw thanks!!
Peanut butter on graham crackers....or a dark chocolate candy bar.
I rented an R6 for the weekend. I really enjoyed it. Mainly wanted the high frame rates for my daughter's sports. I have a 5D3 that I've had forever and really like. 23mp vs 20 didn't yield much of a difference, but dang that AF system is light years ahead on the R6.
Since I can't afford the really big glass for soccer, the only thing in the back of my head is whether the higher MP count of the R5 would be better? More cropping possible. The cost is so high though, not just the body but the CFEx cards too.
You do not have to use the CF Express unless you want to make use of the dual card slots. An alternative to using dual cards is to use the WiFi to your mobile phone.
Date a camera, marry a lens.
When You buying adapter fron 3rd party company, remember to update firmware In the adapter. Otherwise the AF could be not working
Good call
One of the better reviews. Thanks Vanessa. Peanut butter on toast.
Oooo yesssss bc then it melts into gooey goodness
Thx ☺️
Great video. Very engaging and thoughtful. Thank you.
My pleasure:)
The 1DX III has an optical low pass filter. The R6 according to Canon has a non-optical low pass filter that is built into the sensor. I assume that means a digital filter, but they didn’t make in clear on their website.
The R6 has an optical low pass filter TOO.
The R6 has the same sensor and the same DIGIC-X processor as the 1DX III.
Since it is not feasible to have IBIS in DSLRs, only R6 has IBIS and 1DX III has not.
It will be the R6 - i always loved the clarity of the 1dx photos…. But i will keep my 5dmarkIV for landscape and cropping ;=))) thanks for your intense video and congrats for your wonderful wedding photography
thanks for watching and commenting!
How to focus on multiple face? I know AF is good working on one person. But I am not sure how to focus on over 2 people
I tend to focus on the bride/groom or midpoint of the plane of focus
Hi Vanessa, I have just bought the R6 without watching your review first, and after seeing your review it just gave me peace of mind that I chose the right camera for me. The R5 would be nice also but I couldn’t justify the higher price point since I’m not a professional photographer just someone that enjoys photography in general and wanted a good camera. I have always owned Canon so wasn’t going to jump ship to Sony or Nikon either. Thanks for the great review.
So happy it helped!
How do You feel dynamic range of R5? I have made some test with r5, 5d4 and A73 by underexposing by -3ev and then getting +4ev In the lightroom. All photos made on ISO200 with f4. I noticed that the best image I get with A73. The r5 had some little color issues. Some magenta on photos. On 5d4 i saw magenta and banding.
The Sony sensors are still higher. But the R5 is excellent. To miss exposure by so many stops would be considered an extreme miscalculation.
hahah! Love peanut butter on my squares of dark 72+ chocolate. ;-).... Thank you for the review. I still use a 6D and 6D mark II. Glad I didn't not just jump into to the 1st mirrorless camera. After your review now I have choices and sound less scary since I can keep my lesses for a bit more. Yay! Thanks again.
Dark chocolate is the ONLY way to go
Watch yourself you moving into Katelyn James territory, I don't want to see a cat fight, well maybe I do...;)>
Thank you, Vanessa, for this outstanding and practical review.
Now, the answer to your personal question: I like sweet and salty, that's why I put Peanut Butter on my cookies, occasionally :-)
I have been waiting for years to upgrade from crop sensor DSLR. Still haven't decided and still with 80D. Thinking about R6 but have difficulties with overcoming this psychological barrier of moving from 24 megapixels to 20. Ugh!
Peter, I’m with you. I also have the 80D and want to upgrade to full frame but I think what I may do is get the 6D M2 and a couple of nice lenses instead of the R6. What are your thoughts about this?
@@3qgc thinking about that too.
@@peterlechowski2691 I just said F' it and bought the R6 with the 24-105 f4 L glass. Just got it the other day. Can't wait to unbox it and get out there with it!
I like to put peanut butter on Cheeze-its... Thank you for the video. It was super helpful. I think a R6 is in my future.
Glad it was helpful!
As I really don't like peanut butter the answer is nothing, lol!!!
That's a very negative start to a positive post. I really enjoyed your vid. I feel like it could have been me talking. Well I'm 62 and male and ........ But seriously as a free lance photographer that shoots everything from, interiors through, portraits to events plus the odd wedding I totally get your lack of getting hung up about tec. It's what comes out that matters and you have given a very useful and honest insight into the R6. As I have always had champagne tastes and beer bottle pockets the R6 is more within my reach than the R5, especially in Covid times. After listening to you though I feel confident to make the next upgrade the R6 and know that it will meet my needs. Even if I FEEL I would like the R5 ;)
lol you don't like peanut butter? Oh man... almond butter maybe?
BANANAS!!! Great video, very informative! Recently acquired the EOS R to replace 5D Mark III, but now wondering if I made the right choice 😂
I think that's an appropriate upgrade...lol but I do think the R6 will feel better ergonomically for you
