Here are more specifications for the Canon EOS R6

[LudditeForNow]

Even the earliest rumors said it would have IBIS.

Yes, but it hasn't been in any of the leaked published specs. It was noted on the R5 specs but not the R6 specs. I have found on a Japanese site that it is confirmed.

So no small & light body anymore...

Wow, those are some numbers. I guess at that rate the OLED in the EVF will decay before the shutter. Unless one would regularly shoot 12 FPS just for the kick

Insane isn't it?

 

[Aussie shooter]

I am honestly stunned. Just flabbergasted. THIS is why canon took so much time. These two cameras are quite literally redefining what a mirrorless camera can be. Providing they work as promised. It really sounds like they have produced some truly amazing pieces of kit

 

[IggyMo]

8 stops of combinen stabilization between ibis and lens stabilizer... on top of that you can switch on the electronic stabilizer... so the camera cames basically with a gimbal built in

It´s written 20 megapixel Screen size , not Sensor Size...i think it´s a mistake

• Approx. 20.1 megapixels Screen Size

 

[Sharlin]

Holy dog Tits!! -6.5 EV ?!?!?!? This thing can see in LESS than the dark!!!

Mind that Canon's other recent cameras do also AF down to -6 EV with DPAF. Also note that it's at f/1.2, slower lenses need more light accordingly.

Eh, it's a formatting/copy-paste issue that's present on almost every line. There should be a newline before the "Screen Size" part.

And to think people are already complaining about missing features…

Looks like I'll be keeping my EOS R for travel, portraits, and landscapes, but adding the R6 for events, sports, and birds. Filling out my lens quiver will take a few years, but the R will take care of my higher resolution needs until I can afford to replace it with an R5 (or whatever else is available by that point.)

Give it 4 years and get the R5 Mark II

The RP is still very much out there, there is no indication that the R and RP are being replaced as the R6 and R5 are coming up in higher price brackets that don't compete with the R and RP.

It's basically a mirrorless 1DX3 for 2.5K USD, I dunno why anyone is complaining about price or features.

> When using Mount Adapter EF-EOS R: Canon EF or EF-S lenses

I suppose there's a 1.6 crop mode when an EF-S lens is adapt-mounted?

That's one thing I'd really like to see - the option to disable the 1.6 crop for EF-S lenses.

Hi. Fuji and Nikon fan here but I am gonna join Canon family now, as they did brilliant job in my opinion on R6 / R5. Only 3 little disadvantages : 20mpix and probably strong low pass filter which will impact image quality for landscape, 4k60 probably without AF, and not the best DR and ISO assuming it will be the same as 1DX Mark III. Apart from that it will be the best hybrid on the market and really tough to beat. Fuji and Nikon can't get their act together with AF systems, and Sony is still ergonomic mess with weak color science although they are improving. Can't wait to get this R6 beauty

I think you'll very much enjoy the R6. I personally am excited for a Canon R5 and Nikon Z6s which will round out my needs well until both systems have more complete lineups on the lens department.

4k60 probably without AF

That's probably only true for the FF recording mode, it does have a 1.4x crop mode, where it shoots 4k60p with AF

I like wide angle and don't like switching lenses between photo and video. RF 15-35 is too big and expensive but I am sure Canon will release more compact wide zoom or prime in the near future. Their release pace is impressive compared to Nikon Z line. For now I can live with 4k30 and 24-105 f4 and sometimes with 4k60 wit manual focus. This is totally workable.

Agree on the photo/video switch and it is really nice to have the best ISO, bokeh and sharpness from the FF sensor, but I don't necessarily mind the crop mode either, because:

-Vignetting, swirly bokeh and distortion, CA etc. are getting cropped out (or it can work well with crop lenses like Sigma 18-35/1.8)
-Better rolling shutter
-AF in 4k60p

The RF 15-35 and 24-70 lenses are very good, but their common flaw is very heavy vignetting on the wide end.
While this can be corrected well enough for photos, it may be very noisy, if shot in Canon Log and corrected.

Okay, I'm watching the livestream now, the R6 has 2 distinct advantages over the R5: 100% AF frame coverage & AF up to EV -6.5. EDIT: The R5 is also claimed to have 100% AF coverage.
