20 vs 30mp is only 10% more pixels length and width wise. People drink the coolaid for 400-600 pixels in a 4000x6000 pixel pic. 50MP is 33% more, so 24 vs 50 mp is like 3/4 of the length/width pixels wise. That's it. So MP increase is not linear with pic size increase

Currently borrowing an R6 to test before making a purchase. Sitting here watching your review while playing around with the camera was so calming and informative. Thank you for putting in the effort. You have another sub :)

For those torn about the 20 MP, the-digital-picture showed that the R6 actually outputs sharper images than the R... apparently because it has a very weak (or non existent) AA filter. When you output in Adobe Camera Raw, you can change the MP output and usually that is more than good enough. Or, you can also use the ACR "enhance feature" to quadruple the resolution with fantastic results. Using this method, then outputting to 30 MP, the results beat the R in detail for sure (I can even beat the 45 MP R5 in many cases)

Loved this!

Great questions! I'm definitely not an expert in RF lenses, but going off of the two that I have used up until now, at least for the L series, they are much bigger, heavier, and more expensive than the EF versions and provide some improvements but not enough for me to feel like I need to purchase them, personally. For now I am going to stick with adapting my EF L lenses just because I prefer the smaller size & I don't want to always be carrying around such expensive glass. I haven't used the budget RF lenses yet, so I can't comment on their performance. Thank you so much for watching! :)

Hey Zach, thanks for the great vid. I came across and so glad I did. I have been on the fence about getting the R6 but this has me sold. I am a landscape photographer and I shoot with the R on R glass and I am definitely pleased. I do sell at shows, when they come back and online. One thing that struck me is shooting video. With a full time job, taking pics, editing, figuring out locations and life in general, learning video has been my major drawback. I like to hear you use the profiles you have in camera and go with it. What are your best settings to use when you shoot vids on the fly and simple edits, would love to see that process? I would just use PS or LR for editing vid. To think I have been shooting for 5 years and never used any video features from the T3i to the EOS R. Thanks for the video, very cool. Subscribed and liked!!

Hey, David! Thanks for the comment & thank you for watching and subscribing - that really means a lot to me! I think you will love the R6! There are so many nice upgrades over the R, even though I do still think the EOS R is a fantastic camera on its own! Video is relatively new to me as well - I only started seriously shooting video for the opera within the past year, though I've been shooting video here and there for the past several years. It is a learning curve for sure. I edit in Premiere which takes time to learn, but will eventually start to stick. If you are making simple videos, Premiere Rush is also an option - like a more approachable version of Premiere Pro. I typically shoot 1080 (unless I need 4k) at 23.98 FPS in the Canon standard profile & that's it! Hope this helps & thanks again!

Just to add my own experience with printing. I started with a Canon 20D, 8 MP. I printed a 20"x30" from it, and I can't see any obvious pixelation. After that I never worried about megapixels again. I am not a professional. So the largest I ever print is well under 20x30. So even with 20 MP, I will still crop. Higher MP will become important if you want to use a wallpaper on an 8k monitor, but for me that is a few more years in the future.

Good review! I also upgraded from EOS R to R6 after a long hesitation with R5. Very happy with the IQ of the R6. I'm mainly a videographer and find it interesting you bring up grain because I also love film grain and noticed in my early R6 tests that the high ISO noise when you lift shadows is very fine and pleasing (unlike the ugly banding on previous-gen Canons). It's not a very well-known fact but some pro video website also mentioned it in their R6 review. Anyways, it seems that applies to the photography side as well (same sensor and all) so this deserves further investigation imo.

The camera body and UI are also terrible imo, and the AF is way behind. I haven't yet experienced overheating on the R6 but I don't shoot +40mn straight. The file sizes aren't at all big in standard 8-bit since it compresses in IPB. 10-bit H265 log files are bigger and require transcoding unless you're using the new M1 chip macs.

I automatically carried that over to the R6 that I picked up at the beginning of this year and really like the results. The only issue I've had with the focus is that sometimes the eye detect finds something interesting in the background, and I have to move the camera off of that item to get it to look for, and lock on the eye. It might be because of the specific backgrounds that I'm shooting againt. This seems to be the only flaw that I have found. IBIS has been amazing - I've been using it to get video snippets handheld and it's working really well. Of course, a gimbal is the right way to go, but when shooting theater it's not the most practical. As I'm not a videographer, I did not shoot in 4k - and yes, the HD video really looks amazing. I wholeheartedly agree with your assessment - the R6 is a great camera.

Thanks so much for watching & for the comment, Bernard! I totally agree with your assessment of AF for shooting stages. I am pretty much always using single point when shooting stages because I can't always trust the eye/face af in those situations. But in many other circumstances the face af works flawlessly. It's also amazing in video mode. Thanks again! :)

Thanks for an interesting and informative video.

Amazing no frills video. Loved the opinion on 1080p. Why need 4k if we can get excellent HD, which is also quick and easy to work with.. ❤️ from India

@@TheZachMendez good move. That'll make a big difference, as it was distracting. Your content, voice, music and tone... everything else was fantastic. You'll blow up in no time, if you haven't already! Keep going!

just moved from the 5Diii shooting with primes and also a Lumix G9, to the Canon R6. I like it so far, it does take some getting used to but I'm looking forward to getting out more with it.

I appreciated seeing footage from Opera Santa Barbara singers I follow elsewhere online in this review! I am still a Canon 1DX Mark II and 5DS shooter. For me, the R series cameras are just too big a leap for me in price across memory cards, adapters, lenses, and bodies for me to want to jump into the system. Yes, the eye-detect focusing and cool video features are compelling, but overheating in heavy, continunous use and those immense cost increases are not my ideas of an upgrade. I imagine I will step into the 1DX Mark III in a year or two, and maybe then I will reassess looking at an R5 and an RF lens to begin a transition. Honestly, though, my gear is not really holding me back at the moment from getting the shots or videos I want to take now. Thanks for your review!

Awesome. Yep everyone is different and we should each consider our own needs when it comes to gear. For some the idea of an "upgrade" is relative to various different factors. Also, I get where you are coming from on the expense of the R cameras. I don't have any RF lenses yet because they are SOOO expensive. That is definitely a drawback. Thanks for watching! :)

replaced the 5d mk4 with two EOS R - after one year I must say that the autofocus alone payed the bill. The R6/5 would again be a huge step up - imagine! As a pro you can't miss out on this...

Great. You had me thinking about the profiles on the canon vs Fuji film simulations. I don’t believe I’ve seen such a video. Just a thought

That is a great idea for a video! I need to add this to the cue. Thanks for the suggestion. Thank you for watching!! 😊

Great video, very 8nformative. I'm an RP shooter. I'm 99% still with some video for self tapes (controlled environments), so I'm more into the capability in stills. I like the DR here and how amazing that show recovery looked. I'm wondering how much shadow recovery were you getting out out of the R? How does the R compare to the 5dmkiv and R6? Thanks!

@TheZachMendez

Hey there! Thanks so much for watching & for the comment. I would have to say that DR is great on all three cameras. The R6 is just particularly clean when it comes to shadow recovery. The images can handle more shadow recovery without looking overly processed or digital. Also, the R6 has amazing high ISO performance. I've noticed this especially in video where the image holds up even at really high ISOs. I wouldn't say that the improvement from the R to R6 is necessary for everyone - I would call it more of a luxury for some. But if you are shooting concerts or filming events like I do, the extra low light performance is definitely worth the upgrade. Hope this helps!

Enjoyed the show! Had the R6 had the top display, I would not have bought R and the R5. I was disappointed Canon removed the top display on the R6.

While there’s no doubt that the top display might be useful in some cases, I’ve never used it on my R, so it seems that the problem might be not as painful as the most think

This video is so well done! It sounds and looks great, and you’re way of speaking is very effective. Just discovered your channel tonight. I found this video searching for updates on the R6, since it has been around awhile now. I’m stuck saving for it (and lenses), because I had an incident last summer which resulted in my old 70D and 2 lenses being ruined. You’ve confirmed the R6 worth it. Hopefully I can scrounge up the funds for one before it’s obsolete. Haha
