Here is the Canon EOS R6

EOS R > r6

Amazing specs and price... Best seller imo!!

I was planning on just buying the R5 on Thursday...now it seems I'm going to be forced to get an R6 too. Here's hoping I don't get divorced.

I’m getting so excited for this camera!! TAKE MY MONEY ALREADY

No one is going to miss that touch bar

putting the joy in joystick

So, uh, how's the DR and ISO performance? None of the posted specs besides resolution impact still image quality. Are photographers just forgotten when announcing cameras these days?

No top down screen on a body this size still feels silly to me. Even more so now seeing the top layout.

It seems to be near-perfect for the price.
They had so many things to cripple and they've decided not to do it.
Good thinking on their part, well done.

I'm still really hoping for $1999 body-only.

Nothing about the R6 was announced. It is 100% leaks.

And regardless of that, Canon doesn't advertise DR or read noise values. The most we got in this regard was a leak about the DR on the 6D 2 way back when, as far as I know.

DR and low light performance will be good, as they have been in all recent releases. There's now basically no more room for improvement, so what do you expect? I bet this is the same sensor as found in the 1DX III.

Only if you are not into video. For anyone doing photo AND/OR video, this is certainly a beast of a allrounder camera at a very nice price

I'm very happy with my EOS R. I'm not looking for either the EOS R5 or EOS R6..... The EOS R1 might not be available for nearly two more years, but that camera should really be nice!

Getting the R5 was always a given for me. Planned to keep the R, but will sell it for an R6. I love the EOS R, but the video shooter side of me cannot ignore the IBIS and uncropped shooting modes.

Has Canon ever reported dynamic range figures for stills cameras? I've always had to wait for reviews and for results to post on photonstophotos.net for that.

That's not exactly true for all of us. I like the "megapickles" (thank you @slclick ) of the R better for stills. I probably will for video also. Everyone has different needs, but my choice would be the R over the R6 for stills/video. I am compositionally impaired when taking some photos, so I enjoy the extra cropping ability of the larger files to maintain image quality in larger prints. IBIS would be nice, but I have lived just fine without it. I can always get c-log with an ATMOS recorder for the R, I think. I might be wrong. Just now getting back into video.

Same for every other camera.
Sony didn't say anywhere that the A9 has less dynamic range than the A7III (or even the 5D IV), even though it does.

It's just me or it looks beautiful? It looks like a 1DX from the top.

Geez, it's 2020.....you're not going to get a "real" camera for that cheap.

I'm guessing if you want an entry level camera, go for the R or RP...those I believe will be priced in the range you want if not now...soon.

But a brand new release that is decently on the ProSumer level...forget it.

Photography has never been a cheap hobby, and likely never will be.


Just my $0.02,
