Man, all the Squarespace ads on peoples videos is really making me fatigued of the site already and I've barely even looked at it.
you can save 10% off Squarespace by using code: toneh
Yes get a square space site, use the templates, and look like 95% of the photographers in the world. Great idea.
@@LyndonPatrickSmith lol
@@LyndonPatrickSmith Depends on your photos.
@Paul Jones It reminds me of those fantasy sports scam commercials that used to run during every single commercial break during a sports game (usually NFL). I understand and am fine with people needing making money, but you don't want to get to a point where you're advertising is actually annoying people.
I feel like I rarely see youtube videos change scenery so much, really helped with breaking up the info. Great vid !
I think i'm the only person who actually enjoyed the touch bar, but I probably won't miss it.
Great video dude!
I’ve loved it with controlling white balance!
love it. quick way to change my iso (both press and slide)
Yeah I definitely like the touch bar
I liked it too tbh
Same
I’ve currently got an M50 and love everything about it. I’ve been making videos for about 2 years and I think the R6 is a really logical step up and will allow me to grow even more. IBIS and 4K and better dynamic range are the three things I’m most excited to use compared to the M50. I’ve become and confident 1080p shooter and editor and I’m ready to try new stuff
That stabilization during the squarespace ad was fantastic, almost gimbal like
Ha, that’s the R on a gimbal 😅
Tyler Stalman haha well that’s why then 😂
Naah man I was excited about r6 and I'm sure I wasn't alone. 20mp is plenty and it will be better in low-light.
It's a Canon sensor... Especially this one is mediocre at best. Look at the rolling shutter on their flagship... No chance Canon
@@robbie154 i know... I've been maybe the biggest fanboy back in the days... But i know how happy they're when they try something different.
@@bojangbg are you so insecure about your Sony that you have to come here?
@@1148bucknasty lol... I have 5 Systems currently... And judging by your comment I known that you do exactly that on Sony videos.
@@robbie154 What's the point of being a fanboy? Seriously? And just FYI I have no cameras like this, so I have no horse in this race.
What is battery life like just shooting stills? Can you get all day for events or would I be switching out the battery every hour?
Hi Tyler
Can you test the R6 for high speed action such as birds in flight please?
I’m concerned about the evf blacking out and can you test the heif file recording?
Thanks
Noel
i like when you said “ she is all kinda of partner to me”. lol
Great job as always, Tyler.
🙏🏼 Thanks Jaques!
Honestly, the 20MP count is a bit of a dealbreaker for me coming from almost 6 years of using the similarly 20MP 6D. I found my cropping ability in post to be severely limited at that count whereas my EOS R gives me just enough cropping potential to satisfy me. That said though, the IBIS demo looked absurdly good and was maybe my biggest surprise from the whole review.
Great work!
Crop in your composition ;)
not to mention the focus capability beeing the new world standard and twice faster fps than the eos R. And ye that IBIS looks fantastic. I am going to get the R6 as soon as it gets to stabilised price (like 2000 instead of 2600+). Also that 20mp gives the best dynamic range we have ever seen on canon which match the sony's DR.
Tyler x Linus Tech Tips collab: We watercooled Canon's R5 & R6 !
🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 This is hilarious... They'd make the cam work
It's weird tho, I was thinking about it, and I can't recall a single time they had mentioned canon in any of their videos, it's like canon doesn't exist to ltt, the have had videos with red, sony and even fuji in their channels but not a single word on canon, so I don't think they'll ever do a watercooled canon r5/r6 :(
@@Marcos-ee7nt because Canon became irrelevant
@@bojangbg It would still be funny tho, imagine if they don't even have to watercool it and they can fix it with some thin copper heatpipes keeingr the weathering canon would get so burned
Hey, the A7III overheats at 4K (basic 4K as it doesn't have anything over cropped 30 fps) and that was kept secret for all these years. In fact, all of the Sonys have overheated in 4K (and they never had 4K 60) for years but it was kept secret. Daniel Schiffer just admitted this issue a couple days ago in fact.
Great video! With respect to your question about the low-pass filter (AKA anti-aliasing), I think it accounts for a lot of the sharpness similarity between the R6 and the R, despite the 10MP resolution difference. I have a 1DX3 and 1DX2, and the 1DX3 is MUCH sharper because of the new low-pass filter tech. Having said that, I heard somebody from Canon (can't remember who) say that the low-pass filter on the R6 isn't exactly the same as on the 1DX3, but I'd bet that it's a quantum improvement over the R.
@@n0f4ke74 The X2 didn't leave a lot of room for improvement, but the X3 definitely takes the AF with the OVF up a notch. The face tracking is better and I trust all the focus points, so it's easier to frame tighter and have more pixels on target. The smart controller is also helpful. If you switch to live view, the AF is even better, especially because of the wider coverage and eye-AF. However, if you're going to use live view, you might as well go mirrorless with the R6 or R5.
@@n0f4ke74 Live view AF is always better than AF with the OVF because it gathers the data directly from the imaging sensor instead of a separate AF sensor that has to be calibrated with the imaging sensor via autofocus microadjustment (AFMA). The coverage is also much greater, so never any need to focus and recompose.
The problem with R6 in video, is that it essentially overheats in every 4K mode. The R5 at least gives you no overheat options in regular 4k up to 30p, and in the APSC cropped modes ( which look amazing by the way, as its oversampled 5K footage). So for 4K video, the R5 is simply a much better option due to its flexibility. The overheating thing is very real on both of these camera's, but on the R6 you are totally pigeon holed.
Let's hope for firmware update.
maybe Atomos will help with overheat in 4k...
@@user-bj5gr8ug9s The R6 does not come with an HDMI holder, like the R5 does. So using Atomos is going to be tricky business on the R6. microHDMI cables break too easily.
@@EugeniaLoli R5 has micro hdmi too
@@user-bj5gr8ug9s Yes, but it comes with an HDMI holder to help the cable to stay put and not break. The R6 does not come with one. And you can't buy it separately.
did you say A7S3 on menu system response 🙄 so i will be waiting for tomorrow video
That felt like a mistake due to no one having that much experience with it yet
I’m curious if the overheating in 4K was in the high quality mode or in the “standard” 4K? According to Canon, the non HQ 4K shouldn’t have any heat issues 🤔
Really? If honestly this camera would not overheat at all on any mode (except from maybe 4K 60fps in a REALLY long run), then you'd really have a new flagship video camera like the A7 III did back in the day.
@@thomaslarmit6434 Yup, totally agree
But I doubt the R6 has a Normal/low quality 4k mode like the R5. The R6 only has oversampled 4k
@Ray Stone what if we use an external recorder on the R6? like the atamos ninja V? would that make all the problem disappear because then i'll go for that solution.
@@thomaslarmit6434 a dumb battery would probably help more
Google "interframe vs intraframe" and check the first image. Basicly, IPB is is interframe, where 5 out of the 6 frames rely on information of the first frame, meaning less data needs to be restored, but editing with it is a bit harder on your computer (doesn't mean you will "feel" the difference while working with it, but it CAN cause a laggy experiance), because the software can't handle each frame individually. ALL-I is intraframe, which means every frame is "stand alone", which costs more bandwith per second, but it's easier on the editing software/your pc.
Was literally waiting for you to get your hands on this yo help me with my decision! Great video! Helpful AF stay safe
A good comparison to look at ipb difference is looking at water (not running so fast it's blurry anyway) drop a rock in a clear glass and film it both ways you'll see a difference.
Wow! Thank you very much! I just sold my EOSR and preordered EOSR6. At this moment, I haven’t received my R6. And now I am really anxious about my decision of switching from R to R6. Firstly, it is the overheating issue, which everyone is talking about. Secondly, I am a photo guy and I am always concerned about the low resolution of R6. Spending more money on a low resolution camera is really risky for me. But when I see your video, I finally get a clear idea about R6 and its capabilities. I chose the picture of camera2 and indeed I think the picture resolution is better. Happily, I camera1 is the R. Thanks to your video, I think I made the right decision to buy R6. (｡･ω･｡)ﾉ
Okay but can we talk about how sweet that walking around in the forrest footage looks?
Would recording to a Ninja V, or any external recorder, get rid of the overheating issue?
Not really, you would still use the sensor to process the image, or am I wrong?
Yes, Gerald undone tested this and posted on his twitter
yeah it will you should watch Gerald undones live stream he posted the other day mainly about overheating
I’ve been using this camera for a couple weeks and you don’t need more than this to be a “professional” photographer. Camera is wild!
So... I watched carefully, and I didn’t understand why I would want this camera over the r. Less pixels, bad gripping, overheat issues, soft 120 (so I will shoot with the 720p and that’s it) and no better bit rate. Except for the stabilization, why would I prefer it over the R?!
10 bit over 8 bit, WAY better controls (this counts for more than it seems on paper), much better autofocus, dual card slots, faster photo performance and virtually the same image quality in stills.
Any update on the overheating issue? I’m considering buying the R6, I record usually 4K at 24fps. Some say it doesn’t overheat at 24fps with the new updates, while others such as yourself, say it does. So has there been any changes on that since you recorded this video? Thank you!
I have noticed that most people that are using the R5 and R6 right now that are experiencing overheating issues don't use the battery grip. I go back and forth with my EOS R with and without the grip. Does anyone think that using the grip might alleviate some of the overheating since the battery area would be somewhat hollowed out and there would be more surface area to dissipate the heat?
Not to mention the focus capability beeing the new world standard and twice faster fps than the eos R. And ye that IBIS looks fantastic. I am going to get the R6 as soon as it gets to stabilised price (like 2000 instead of 2600+). Also that 20mp gives the best dynamic range we have ever seen on canon which match the sony's DR. OH and finally the great Canon colors are back with the R6 and R5. The eos R and RP are way too creepy for me (greenish and too much of hard blacks for me). The R6 has amazing light rendering and thus colors.
I discovered you from your 5DMKII vs 7D video and your 50mm comparison video. Hard to believe how far the camera world has come since then! Excited for this new direction from Canon for sure!
Wow that was ancient history now! The old 5D and 7D were great at the time but would feel painful to shoot with now
@@stalman you could gift me your old cameras if it's not trouble Tyler 🥺
I bought a new one last week for only 1999 € and got a battery grip for free. Didn't want to pay 2900 € for the R6 Mark II
2020 and we’re still debating megapixels. Kewl.
For prints, 300ppi is the standard. So the r6 isn’t an option for photographers who want to make sharp big prints.
Louis F sure bud. How many big prints have been made with cameras like the D700?
Just want to state that you are incorrect about how the RAW mode is at a disadvantage because it uses regular c-log. You are mixing a few things together and I just wanted to shed some light on it. RAW is just that, RAW data from the sensor. It actually should not even be looked at as "video", because it is NOT video. It becomes video once it is compiled in your NLE, but before that it is pure data from your sensor, often in the form of raw images. You don't gain anything special from shooting RAW while using c-log 1, 2, 3, etc because c-log is a tone curve for video and meant for rec 709 video modes, like 4k all-i/ipb etc on the R6. So, you will see advantages in C-log 2, 3, etc. for video modes, which are the non raw modes. But when you are using RAW 8k video, you are in fact getting the highest quality from the sensor, there is nothing further that will make it "magically" better, such as c-log, etc. It is simply RAW data from the sensor in its purest form, simple as the that - you will get the highest dynamic range, etc. from the sensor when shooting RAW always.
I know what you’re saying, but Canon still regulates which tone curves you’re able to use when interpreting the raw data. So I suspect that there is enough information being captured to generate a beautiful clog3 image, but Canon would need to make it available for the R5 raw files in order to take advantage of that dynamic range potential. I also bet these sensors could handle clog3 in 10-bit modes but that’s just a guess
Thanks Tyler; as an R owner thinking of trading my 5D3 for an R6, I really appreciated your picture quality comparison between the R, and R6. EOS R Swipe bar - love it; set up for 0/5/10 times magnification when using my manual focus Zeiss lenses. Sure I use the focus guide, but for some shots you just gotta check. Yeah I swipe accidentally once in a while - but with magnify it's immediately obvious; - no accidentally changed exposure parameters. Look forward to more from you.
Before you buy, i purchased this camera 2 weeks ago.
nothing but problems from the start..
So i do video and that what i got it for..
So right off the top i setup the menu's get it all ready, hook my Ninja V, then turn on the camera then go to the menu's and the Menus system gets displayed on the Ninja not the camera, so you can't use the touch screen to navigate though you menu's because the menu's are only on the Ninja, (Nice huh) LOL
next thing i notice when you turn on your Ninja the Level indicator disappears, i'm like WTF, all the other stuff is there except the Level Indicator..
then i record some footage in Clog 3 Cinema Gamut , then once i take that footage in the editor, and apply the general LUT that canon provided, the shadows in the skin tone's turn a puke Green.
so i found out you can't use Cinema Gamut with an external recorder, ok so i record footage in Clog 3 bt709, then in the editor again i apply my LUT, and right away the color scale is way off, skin tones cast a greenish yellow in the shadows, almost impossible to get rid of..
then I also notice a ton of noise in the footage as well, and my exposure was set 1 stop above exposure. I'm like wow this is a crappy camera..
then i notice the image is sort of soft and crappy..
The wort camera i have every filmed on..
So being that said there is other problems with it..
If you record video using internal settings canon uses this crappy Coded so when you take it in the editor it lags it's not even really playable..
Now before this camea i was using the Fuji X-T3 and the quality of the video was better then the R6, i mean The Fuji X-T3 is a APSC sensor and the Canon R6 is full sensor and the fuji is better quality, that is SAD..
So just to let you all know before you go spend $3,500.00 on a camera you should know this camera is terrible shooting Video, the worst..
I only shoot stills and I really like the R6, I just wish it had 30mp instead of 20mp, that is the only downside.
R6 supports APS-C mode for 4k60 and this allows to record a bit longer.
Does this mode avaliable for 30/24fps? And if yes, does it help with overheat
I guess the resolution point is a harder point for me to take because I come from the standpoint of a fashion and beauty photographer and retoucher. From a retouching standpoint, more resolution does a hell of a lot for me in allowing me to better target things that need to be removed/edited/etc and mess with less of the image overall. For studio environments with strobes especially (which is my primary workspace), differences in resolution can be rather pronounced in my experience just on the strength of the details I can capture with a higher resolution sensor.
There are always people who really do need the extra resolution and it sounds like you’re one of them. I just think A LOT of people are talking themselves into something they do not need
I hope you make a video comparing AF performance using the EF to RF adapter, particularly the EF 24-70 2.8 using Eye AF.
I met this girl in a bar. We started hitting it off. After 10 minutes she started to talk to me about Squarespace. I left the bar.
There is a DNG converter beta! You should try converting from raw to dng. Worked greatly for my R5. :) Hope it helps!
0:21 20 frames mechanical shutter? I’m pretty sure that it’s 12 frames in mechanical and 20 in electronic. Am I wrong?
Loved the video. I am curious if you are able to dual record video on the R6? Thanks!
Literally been saying this for years, I LOVE high mp. But it's not needed, no one NEEDS it, your image could be projected on the side of a sky scraper and you couldn't tell the difference. It's even harder to tell when printed on paper
Witch lens would you recommend for the r6 for Video: 24-105 L or 24-70 L or others?
If I’m only bringing one lens with me it needs to be at least 2.8, so I would choose the 24-70
Great review! I'm using a 5d4 and this offers so much more that my 5d can't offer, especially on the video side. IBIS for photos and handheld b roll shots seems like a gam changer.
I think the R is the Camera you want for the price...and 1080p looks really great on the R and you can use the 4k crop to get more out of your lens.
The ergonomics on the R6 are a massive upgrade, it really is much better user experience
I'm a 21 year old photographer who wants to invest in good gear now, for my full time job (somewhere under $4000 for camera +2 fast primes and some zoom + lights) it's a tough decision if to save a grand with the R instead of the R6 and then down the line one day I'll get the R5
I have exactly the same problem as you 😂 I doubt between the R and R6 also just for taking stills, the R is a great camera with that 30mp but the R6 has a 1DX III sensor in it and that's Canon's flagship camera...
I love fast primes also, I think I'm getting the Tamron 35mm 1.4 via the EF adapter. (wich is sharper than the Sigma)
Gimble for your walking shots including the commercial? Great vid as always.
Yup those are on a gimbal. Most of the hiking shots are R on a Ronin
"they are both JPEGS not RAW files" ... right the comparison falls apart. The cameras have different image processors. Digi X on the R6... Digi 8 on the R. I think there might be different results if you repeat this with RAW processing.
Either way even 20 mpixel is enough for very large prints.
At the time of recording there was no way to process the raw R6 files. Either way, if the difference is so hard to perceive I’m not sure the jpg processing is all that significant of a variable
Don't get caught up in specs... 10 bit and ALL I won't matter if UA-cam is your final viewing source (as it is for 99% of people). UA-cam uses 8 bit, IPB compression. You can shoot in 16 bit raw, but when you upload to UA-cam, those glorious videos will STILL have 8 bit banding. It's all marketing hype (except for people who output for pro use to be viewed somewhere like movies or television though I suspect a lot of TV stuff is also 8 bit IPB).
Additionally, when you output your files from Resolve, Final Cut, etc, if you use MP4 that is only 8 bit output in most cases.
Are you shooting with the R6 in all of the shots where you are walking through the rocky area? (Example) 6:21. If so, what lens were you using?
All the gimbal shots are on the R and so are most vlog shots. When they’re sitting at the computer, that’s all R6
Stalman! Your lighting looks amazing in the studio portion!
9:44 the 10-bit refers to the color depth, not to be confused with Raw bit-depth that determines dynamic range.
1. Will Canon fix the digital Stabilization weird warping on the edges? Is it even fixable on a firmware update?
2. Gotta say something about the image from the r6 feels a bit flat. Like, subjects don't pop out. Something about the midtones...
@Tyler Stalman
I am planning to buy my first camera for Instagram photos and videos.
Which camera do you suggest?
I liked the sharpness comparison test (R vs R6) but I would like to ask a question in other way: assuming using the same high quality glass will I notice the difference in detail and sharpness between A3+ prints coming from 30 megapixel 5DmkIV and 20 megapixel eos R6?
Or would you be able to print 24 by 36” prints from images coming out of EOS R6 without using softwares like gigapixel ?
anyone hear or have updates on overheating with the R6? I want to pull the trigger on it but the overheating is concerning
Another Calgary photographer!! Just got a sub
R6 ipb is in h.265 Codec, so even though it's smaller file size it's much higher quality than h.264 ipb from R. All intra for human eye is identical to ipb, however You can see the difference while use green screen or any other type of keying.
Hi, I'm a photographer first and videographer second...at what video setting will the R6 not overheat? Will I worry about overheating if I shoot in photo mode for a whole day?
There have been no overheating issues at all with photos, and in the whole course of shooting this video it didn’t overheat. And 1080 is always safe
@@stalman Thank you!...that's all I need to know. Still deciding whether to get the R6 or R5. I still use my 5D MK II which I bought back in 2008. I had saved enough money through the years to get the R5 or an R6 with a nice RF lens.
Great video! I'm glad IBIS works well @ 70mm. Would like to see how well it works for say, 200mm in video mode using a non IS lens. Canon has always been saying lens IS is better than IBIS for long focal lengths. A few comparisons in future videos would be much appreciated!
If you are really torn between R6 and R then Sony A7IV might be your answer. Release - 3rd quarter 2021. Rumored specs- Full frame 30 MP, 4k 60p 10 bit, 2500$. 😀👍
I use the Bar for ISO ... the problem that is most people don't read the manual and they don't know that the LOCK button can ..... yes Lock the Bar and the front adjustment ring on RF lenses so you don't adjust them by mistake. also if you want to adjust and you have forgotten that its locked the work LOCKED comes up on the display . but yes I too would like to have seen the top screen on the R6
I just want to say a big thank you for this video it has made up my mind about pixels , as going from the R like you I was worried about dropping 10 , but also that top screen Dam they make it hard if it wasn't for the price difference
This is an excellent video! Thank you for sharing your thoughts. As a stills photography camera, the R6 looks awesome. A superb Canon camera with great colors, impressive dual-pixel AF II, IBIS, and an intuitive, responsive touch screen. As a video camera, I feel the R6 is lacking. The overheating issues take you out of your production flow--and that's the opposite of what we want as content creators. I was hoping to switch back to Canon this time; it looks like I'll be waiting a bit longer for something better suited for my needs.
is that Minnesota???
Which is the best !? R6 or EOS r
If the price difference was "only" $1000 or 40% more as indicated in the video, I'd be all over the R5. I don't need the 45mp just like no one needs a 911 Turbo S either but that doesn't mean it wouldn't be fun to own. However, according to B&H in the USA the difference is $1500 or 56% more and in Europe it's 1750€ or 66% more than the R6. What gives? I suppose it makes the decision easier but Canon's pricing policy or rather gouging policy leaves a lot to be desired.
The R6 has All-I after the next firmware release (rumored)
Even more importantly... CLOG3 which will raise dynamic range to over 14 stops.
Sony a7 iii vs canon r6 ?? Which i shud chose ?
Does it have the AA FIlter? In some websites it says they say it does and in many others they say it doesn't.
super excited for the R6, i dont care personally about video performance so the smaller files and better lowlight performance were winner for me! i played around with the R5 demo yesterday and man is it fast focusing even using EF lens.
I really want a better sense of how large of prints you could do with the R6. I know it's not black and white, but I want some practical insight. I am also very curious about the difference in dynamic range between R5 and R6. Those would be the biggest factors for me to decide if the R5 is worth the extra money for my use.
Does the Full HD 120fps really have a significant quality drop? Thanks. I want to ask since it's really hard to get some sample FHD 120fps of either the R6 or the 1DX III (which has the same sensor) to actually look upon.
Want to know this myself. Plus what the 1080p quality is like.
R7 ideas one slot reserve for cf card slot for better video insurance and maybe having an option going from 20pixel to 50pixel and having some kind of security from theft like most phones and modern cars
$3500 R5 ????? Where did you find that deal lol
Do you have a R6 vs R5 Video? Or what would be your decision?
Did you use the R6 to film the Squarespace plug walking in the forest? That footage looked so rock solid, gimbal-esque.
AmaIng. What ND filters did you use!?
Does it come with a Tilta fan?
Amazing review, great points. The only thing I noticed right away when you upscale the resolution of the R6 is that you get that tiny bit of "pixelation". Resolution is the less important thing nowadays. Strongly considering get a 12mp as a main camera for stills now
Thats when the A7SIII = Superior release its beast tomorrow.
I used too drizzle before beautifull billboards... in the '80's...
Now we all watch youtube on a phone or tablet .
Beautifull and well made video.

Great video Tyler & I completely agree with your opinion, for the most people out there this will be a great camera.
I have pre ordered the canon R6 & it will be perfect for my event work.
I believe that it's a good balance of high iso performance & file size. For me canon has the best ergonomics, the camera just feels right in my hands, I used to shoot weddings with the 6d / 5dmk4 & they were great. I now specialise in car photography & currently own the 5dmk4 & 5dsr ..... love the resolution in the 5dsr for car photography, especially as I sell very large prints & the files out of that camera look amazing when you print big. The canon R6 will be my go too event & travel camera, these are great tools to have & having the option to pick the right one for the job your doing is the way to go!
Lower compression is easier to manage in post, colour correction and compositing. You should be able to push an image further with when grading with lower compression.
Wow, in my country R5 now costs ~ 5400 USD, while R6 is only ~2900 USD (incl. vat). That makes buying R5 much harder to justify than in US. R5 is also pre-order only and basically unavailable in stores.
My question is: With near pitch back/ low light photography, will eye-lock on AF on the R6 still work with F2.8/ F4 lenses?
Does the R6 overheat while recording 4K 24? Cinema5D says that it does and the camera is basically unusable but DPReview says they recorded 4K 24 without any issues for over an hour. Canon also doesn’t list 4K 24 mode as one of the shooting modes that overheats so I’m having trouble understanding the consistency here.
The R6 is now about £1900. here in England making it relatively affordable.
How you get that awesome dynamic range??.. everyone else on UA-cam has white skies.
It's just finding decent lighting, nothing special about using the camera
For stills is this is mos def a good buy. For video I still have questions.
For IPB vs ALL-I, is there a difference in how easy it is to edit the footage? Especially in something like 4k60 10-bit?
The overheating to me is quite a bit of issue because there still seems to be so many unknowns of when it actually will pop up. And that’s even with the documents Canon has supplied on that because the camera can continue to get hot even when not shooting video or even just shooting photos.
Thanks again sharing your experience on the camera. Looking forward to more!
Thanks for this informative video! How is the battery life on the R6? I have a severe case of FOROOB (fear of running out of battery) so I always make sure I have enough power: Powerbase Edge Core for the BMPCC4K, battery grips for the M50 and Fuji X-T4. But the Canon battery grip for the R6 is crazy expensive and only adds one extra battery, as opposed to the two extra batteries on for instance the X-T4 which then has 3 in total. Point of the story is: I pre-ordered the R6 and now I want to add some juice for run ‘n gun shooting, but I’m questioning whether to get the battery grip or the powerbase. Powerbase adds more power at a lower cost, but the battery grip is a more elegant solution. Anyway, how did you experience battery life?
Yes I am more excited about the Canon R6! It is all I need :)
Yeah, I just don’t know. I’ve been on the fence and I just don’t think I can get down with the R6. It doesn’t seem that much better than the R. I want to be convinced to go R6 over R5, but so far it’s just not happening for me. Great video!
Got mine recently and been playing with it. My verdict: Amazing photo camera, that has very good 1080p (with the 10bit and 422 and all). But I wouldn't consider it a real 4K camera though due to overheating issues. If you go into it with that perspective, you won't be disappointed. I'm just not sure that we should have to pay this kind of money NOT to get useable 4K in the year 2020. But if photo is your main thing, this camera is suberb!
What are your thoughts on the 28-70 f/2 RF lens?? I’m thinking about biting the bullet and buying one.
Problem of it all is, that it is NOT a camera for real professionals who shoot video. Period. Unfortunately. Same goes for the R5. You should always be in control of the cam, not the other way around. It’s not like you tell your clients that this location is too hot or that day is too sunny. We have to have tools which just do what they supposed to do. And you control it at the way. And as Cinema5D mentioned, it is a fun camera, great numbers, big marketing from Canon, but at the end of the day, it all comes down to hard facts. And therefor, we got to wait until tomorrow. I guess we then get an almost pro-level, small body, awesome IQ camera, which is almost perfect for a lot of pros.
With regard to overheating, I had a Sony RX100 Mk5 that could overheat before I even got to press record. My workaround was to use stills mode with a 16x9 aspect ratio until I had to start recording when I would switch to movie mode. I wonder if there is a similar workaround for the R6 or is it as easy switch from 1080p to 4k?
I'm so excited for the R6 didn't really care for the R5 because that's way too much for my needs. I'm still doubting to buy a 2nd hand EOS R, comming from a 700D that's already a massive upgrade. Thank you very much for sharing!
One of the best videos about the R6 i've seen yet. gj.
You did an amazing job at telling us what R6 is capable of interms of Video. This shot at 0:48, gives me a hope of what this camera can do. Can you give us raw clip so we can grade and see whats it like. Canon's official video which was shot very poorly, upload on HD. Canon should hire you next time to do their official video. Sony's official videos are always to the extreme limits, they really know how to sell their cameras, or maybe Canon has forgotten.
Which one would you choose between Sony a7iii and Canon R6?
R6 for sure
A7sIII prototype tester confirmed at 8:35
