There is something 'real' about your content that I continue to love. We all know you've been mainly a Nikon shooter for a long time, and so much of todays camera review content is caught up in "the switch" hyperbole; you do a really good job of shying away from that and just speaking about the camera; I really respect that. Even going through the comments here you start to see the "are you switching?!" typical dribble. I love that you just talk about what worked for you and what had you worried. Not in comparison to your Nikon gear, but just in the context of its own. Good photographers focus on image quality last, because all the big brands are all producing more than satisfactory images. It's the way the camera feels, the way it 'works' alongside the photographers inputs, and how it makes your life easier in one way or another. Probably one of the better feedback/review videos I've seen in a really long time.

Hah thanks very much!

You do these reviews so well - just enough information - well done Taylor.

I’ve been WAITING for this video!!

One of the most useful videos on the R6 I have found. I've shot the 5D series for years utilizing the single AF point and choosing that point myself. It scares the hell out of me to give that up, but learning about the incredible AF system of this new camera makes me feel better. Hope to be able to try one out myself here soon. Thanks very much TJ.

What a great review. I’m picking mine up Wednesday the 2nd. Pumped.

Thanks Taylor! Cannot wait for my preorder to come in!!!

Great video, I feel like it’s you being you not hyped up or selling anything, refreshing.

Great Video Taylor, always good to see real world reviews of gear. I was also pleasantly surprised to see the folk on Canon Live Chat all seem to be photographers themselves and can speak from experience, offering real world advice, rather than a sales script.

Apparently I’m already subbed, but I smashed sub again after that first “SAIL!” That shit was funny

Great review Taylor that was hilarious 😂 I currently own the 5D IV and hoped the R6 would be a great entry to mirrorless and pair well with the 5D IV. Fast frame rates, low light and mirrorless capabilities, paired with the higher resolution of the 5D for those print-worthy group photos. It seems ideal and I'm glad you rate the R6 highly, time to start saving up and bring in those weddings!!! 💪

this was what I was hoping for. I think the 5d IV coupled with the r6 is amazing.

I don't know why your indecision about your light is what I'm most focusing on😂😂😂

My R6 will be here tomorrow and I’m shootings my first wedding at the end of the month!!! Very excited to be finally making this jump

Hi Taylor. Thanks for your review. Really like your channel! I've saw too many photographer and youtuber who use Nikon or Canon or Sony then hate all the other brands. You talked about Nikon, Fuji and Canon and really pointed their pros and cons in real situation. In the end, forgive my poor English LOL.

if the canon wasn’t so amazing… the song at the beginning would arguably be the best part of this video😂😂

You’re a funny awkward kinda guy. Had me 😂 good stuff.

Thanks for the quick insights. Hit us with the battery situation. Noticeable difference? How many for the 4500 shots 6 hour day?

🎉Thank you so much Taylor‼️

I mentioned in your previous Canon video... This might be the game changer for you and wedding photographers in general...

Thank you for the review. My R6 arrived yesterday but the RF lens adapter is on backorder so I have yet to take one photo with it! You have set my mind at ease with the image quality regarding the 20 MP. Can't wait to see how great the eye tracking auto focus is! Keep shooting with yours!!! :)

My boyfriend just gifted me this camera and I've always been a Nikon user! I have a Nikon d750 with various portrait lenses. But honestly I'm genuinely excited about going mirrorless and seeing this video has me genuinely optimistic that I will definitely be able to utilize it in the weddings that I am shooting next month! I'm thinking about going for the 85mm 1.2!

I knew I wanted the R6 😍😍😘😘 I need to save NOW

Thank you for sharing. Just purchased the R6 and looking forward to getting out and taking memories. Question? With all the brilliant RF lenses, first lens recommendation. Thank you.

More convincing for me to jump from eos RP to the R6! Subbed man 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

I am getting comedy vibes X1000 XD Please do a stand up sometime. The pauses are gold! Great vid!

This video made me finally pull the trigger. Thanks!

Thank you. Thank you

I will have one on my hand next week since I preordered it and I currently have no RF lenses but I have 4 ef lenses. Hope I could get an RF L lens one day. I know that I will love this camera.

This was useful, thanks Taylor. One query: You said the AF is great, and the camera always seems to know what your subject is. Can I ask the AF setting you were using? Thanks

Hi Taylor, how many batteries did you use on the day.

Any plans on doing a hybrid review - Id love to hear your thoughts.

Great video. I'm not happy with my A7r iv and want to switch back to Canon. How was focusing in low light using flash photography? Was it hunting a lot?

finally someone who love this camera as much as i do. now it ever better with the firmware. u finally have dual video card recording. thank you for ur honesty. i often say that 20MP for weddings

Your compositions are extemely beautiful. Congratulations.

SAAAAAIL. That was great. and thanks for the info! My R6 should be delivered Thursday and now I am more excited. I am expecting full pounding headaches from the view finder.

Honestly it’s not bad at all. I had big problems with my brain and early Fuji and Sony cameras but the R6 is very natural and doesn’t hurt your brain

Ty!

I would love to know (if you have had a firmware update) how long you can now record in 4k @ 60fps please? As this is the deciding factor for myself. I heard Canon may offer some lower bit rate recording modes for r6 which 'may' offer unlimited recording in the future.

Hello Taylor! Shal i buy the R6 for my weddings this summer, or it is better to wait for the canon’s new mirrorless?

Well thanks for writing the anthem of my life...

thanks!

How's the overheating for hybrid shooters?

I'm a real estate photographer and have toyed with the idea of shooting weddings. I'm a Canon person and I've been considering the purchase of the R6 which is one of the main reasons I watched this video. I'm very happy to see the results of your work in this video. I'm just a little unclear about something you said about focusing. Did you say you shot the entire wedding in auto focus mode? Thanks in advance for your response and thanks so much for this video. I really appreciate the information.

@@myronhensel It has easily become my favourite camera, replaced me 5D MKIV instantly. I later bought an RF 28 - 70 (the sharpness of images with that lens is incredible) and I rarely switch between cameras or lenses. The autofocus with eye tracking alongside the digital viewfinder have allowed my shots to consitantly be the best they could. Editing the images is great too, lowlight truly is amazing. I never realised untill I had a dark reception in a pub with no windows. While editing the photos on the R6 I could bump the shadows with no issue, maybe a little noise but nothing that bothered me or that the customer would notice. 5D MKIV on the other hand had very noticible noise. Still good, don't get me wrong, but had to do more processing to remove it to an acceptable point for me. I used the same lens on both cameras, Ultrawide 16 - 40 F4 I think it was. If you can afford it i would highly recomend it. Even with the lower megapixels I still use the R6 for the produc photography I have done. If I didnt need 2 cameras for the weddings I film I would happily only carry an R6 with 28 - 70.

@@huwwilliams8370 Thank you for your input. When shooting receptions with a speedlite does it have trouble focusing let’s say during a grand entrance or first dance especially with party lights on? My R has huge trouble with this and I have to revert to using my 5d3 to get the shot. The ir focus beam on the speedlite dslrs use is very quick.

Man! That song is great, please you have to write the full song!. I mean it!

Almost first!!!

How good is the metering vs the constantly moving focus point since only 1Ds have the focus point linked to spot metering. Did it meter well based on where the focus locked ? Which metering setting did you use. Thanks. Looking forward to more R6 feedback.

@markshirley01

He mentioned that the metering and auto iso were excellent.

thanks for this perfect review! indeed always talking about 4K and overheating, but never over 1080 and the images you have then hardly anyone does! a 6k sensor that records 1080 without overheating is worth more to me. And the photos are extraordinarily sharp and beautiful, if I had not seen your review I would never have wanted to buy this camera! But now I do and I already save a little extra for the more expensive lenses! I was always a Nikon fan and now I have to make the right choice. Please make more reviews in the future so I can follow them, maybe your findings and settings if you know the camera better ;-)

Yes!!!!

I've been a wedding shooter for 13 years. Always shot Nikon. Currently I'm shooting Nikon D810, as I've been hesitant to dip my toe in the mirrorless world. I like the D850 a lot and was considering it because I was skeptical (and underwhelmed) with the Nikon Z6 and Z7 initial offerings so I waited. Canon wasn't really an option because it meant I'd have to scrap all my good glass and switch platforms. Nikon's second attempt with the Z6 ii and Z7 ii with improved autofocus and tracking, still can't hold a candle to the EOS R5 and R6. I've made the decision to go with the R6 over the R7 for 2 reasons; I can't justify the $4K (USD) for the R5. The R6 price point was within my grasp along with RF 50mm 1.8, a 85mm, RF 85mm 2.8 and I'll have to limp along with a EF 70-200 with an EF/RF adapter until I can afford the RF. So they are all on order! I can still keep my D810 kit as it still has it's place and it still a somewhat relevant camera (to me anyway). Your review as a wedding shooter using the R6 helped cement what was originally a very difficult decision. Cheers from Cleveland OH. By the way, a link to where I can get those blasted lights would have been nice, since you mucked about with them so much.

Hi Taylor..The best picture profile 4 wedding ?

Did they remove lcd auto brightness from R5 or is my mistake?

Thank you for these thoughts. I’m probably going to pick this up. Jared Polin says the new firmware update for R5 significantly extends record time even in 8K, so hopefully that will be the case for the R6. Super pumped for the 85 f2 as well.

@extremephilou

They implemented the concept in one of their cameras in the 80s. Cool idea but risky to to use. If you don't look exactly where you want to focus (checking the borders for framing etc.) you risk to randomly loose the focus. I'll bet on A.I. And scene recognition.

Cool...so are you switching?

I've been holding my r6 since i got it yesterday......... yup i slept with it too the wife was not to happy LOL

Out of curiosity how are your tapping your BTS during weddings?

What about the lack of top-facing screen which displays your camera settings?! That just seems kinda strange to me, coming from using the 5D series for the past decade, the way I shoot it I am always messing with my camera settings (ISO, Aperture, Shutter Speed) and looking directly at that top-facing screen while I'm doing that. How do you change your settings without that upward facing screen there?!

Hi there, I am here to make a request to you to make a new video on a comparison Between Godox V1 vs Godox V860II with a Magmod Magsphere mounted on the V860II. The reason i am requesting to make this video is that v1 is more costly compared to v860II. So if we could produce the same effect of light diffusion/distribution using a magsphere on a v860II that a v1 could produce without a diffuser then we could buy a MAGMOD light modification kits and a Godox V860II for the money we spend buying a Godox V1.

From all photographers on youtube this guy has the best images for sure
