I'm trading up from a DSLR Canon 5D Mark iii. I'd like to get the canon r6 (mk ii) but the price diff (for used) with RF lens is $1,000 more than the R! I'd primarily use it for portrait/landscape photography R, but I'm also interested in street photography so would the R6 be better for that? Also, need to look into firmware updates with the R camera. I also heard about green tint in raw files. Recommendations for correcting in camera or in post?

First off the r6 mkii is by far the best of the 3 cameras having owned all 3 myself. The colors from all 3 cameras are different with the r6 and r6 mkii being more similar. I never had a problem with the files from the R but many people have reported issues when switching from one camera to another as there is always an adjustment period learning to edit different files. For portrait and landscape the R is good as it has the most resolution of the 3. The R6/R6 mkii has far better (and more complicated) AF than the R. With the R6 you are taking a significant resolution hit (though the files do look great). For street it depends on whether your using AF or manual/zone focusing. The R6 is far better for tracking moving subjects. As for correcting in camera or post it really depends on what you are shooting (raw/jpeg) and what software your using to process the file (lightroom/DPP). Personally I correct in post. I have always found the jpegs look great straight out of Canon cameras. Hope that helps.

@amourphoto29 күн бұрын
Hi and thanks for your comment! If you are looking at primarily shooting video then I would choose the R8. It is true that there can be overheating issues for longer form video shooting but it will really depend on what you are shooting and for how long. In my opinion the video out of the R8 is far better than the R. I wouldn't be too concerned about the loss of resolution in terms of photos, it is nice to have the 30mp of the R for portrait shooting but I find 24mp to be more than enough to cover 95% of my shooting needs. If price isn't an issue I would go with the R8, if you are only looking at video and are concerned about overheating then you may also want to consider the R7. Hope that helps, all the best!

I went from a 5D Mk II to the R6. It was like going from a dependable mate to a brilliant psycho. With the R6 it seems Canon listened to every photographer and gave them a button. And then said just set them to what you like. The end result is a camera that has no readily identifiable logic. It’s a hot mess. The Canon menu system is not fit for purpose any more. It needs a total rethink to deal with the complexity video brings to the machine. More of the same is confusing, maddening, fiddly and panic inducing. Then it fried itself. I was given a Blackmagic Pocket to try while the Canon was being rebuilt. It reminded me how good it feels to have a camera that is brilliant at doing one thing. Controls are where you need them, its design is not split into compromises. I gave the R6 another half a year. But I so missed the feeling of comfort I got from the 5D MkII and BMPCC - machines designed to do one job really well. I paid a Canon technician to try to help me connect to the R6, set it to my likings. But nah. It still hit me with gotchas and useless footage. So much footage junked due to the R6 getting it wrong. CLog is not nice to work with, I called it "clog". I'd had enough of the personality disorder. So I sold it. The R sounds like it could be just the machine. I dont care about the video. Fewer buttons is a bonus. For video no IBIS is also a bonus. I love waist high shooting using a touch screen. I'm keen.

Thanks for the comment! Yes indeed going from a 5d 2 to an R6 would be a massive shock as the auto focus system is completely different in terms of both form and function. I actually really liked the R6 AF but I had already had nearly 5 years using the R to get used to mirrorless and eye AF and how different (good and bad) it is. The R is a great photo camera but is very crippled in terms of video compared to current cameras. The BMPCC is a dedicated video camera so would be better (except for AF) than most Canon hybrid cameras in that regard. An alternative could also be the 5D MK IV as it would give you an experience much closer to the 5D MK2. I hope you find a camera that works for your needs going forward, all the best.

@@amourphoto I actually really like the manual focus and think for video AF is wholly overrated. Too slow from bag to switch on to select mode to select target to record. So many missed shots and a lot of footage that looks like a robot took it. Most folk who demand video AF seem to be shooting long takes of themselves. This is a bias we need to be aware of in these reviews. (A worthy topic.) I shoot 5 to 10 second clips to build scenes. Since abandoning AF and IBIS and honing technique… improvement everywhere. AF for stills is brilliant and I miss the R6 for the exquisite candid waist high stills I shoot. So the R with the AF and larger flip-out touch screen is ideal. The touch screen, eyes down, point and shoot is a style of photography the 5D can’t do. Wierdly the R6 could do this style too but because it is covered in buttons holding it low would mean your palm would depress the custom buttons on top right and suddenly it would spack out. Grrr Thanks for your tips.

They say it's the same sensor as the 5D IV. I used them simultaneously, and the R was always definitely much softer with perfect focus, too. As well as, the R had magenta tinge to it in many scenarios. The IQ in the 5D IV is much better in my opinion.
@amourphoto2 ай бұрын
I never shot the 5D IV so can't comment decisively. I will say that from looking at shots from the 5D IV and the R that they do seem to render very similarly. The difference in sharpeness may be due to factors such as a different anti-aliasing filter. It's interesting how even when camera companies reuse parts in other cameras the results are not always identical.

If your asking about the AF issue it is an issue that has been well documented by other users both on youtube and on forums. It's frustrating as sometimes (particularly in good light) the AF works flawlessly and at other times (particularly with a burst of shots) you will get images that 90% sharp but not quite tack sharp. As I mentioned I did not initially have this problem most probably because of the conditons (good lighting) that I was shooting in at the time.

An alternative could also be the 5D MK IV as it would give you an experience much closer to the 5D MK2. I hope you find a camera that works for your needs going forward, all the best.
@@amourphoto I actually really like the manual focus and think for video AF is wholly overrated. Too slow from bag to switch on to select mode to select target to record. So many missed shots and a lot of footage that looks like a robot took it. Most folk who demand video AF seem to be shooting long takes of themselves. This is a bias we need to be aware of in these reviews. (A worthy topic.) I shoot 5 to 10 second clips to build scenes. Since abandoning AF and IBIS and honing technique… improvement everywhere. AF for stills is brilliant and I miss the R6 for the exquisite candid waist high stills I shoot. So the R with the AF and larger flip-out touch screen is ideal. The touch screen, eyes down, point and shoot is a style of photography the 5D can’t do. Wierdly the R6 could do this style too but because it is covered in buttons holding it low would mean your palm would depress the custom buttons on top right and suddenly it would spack out. Grrr Thanks for your tips.
@@vividstudio4651 Agreed. I think it depends on the situation, your set up and skill level as focus pulling is a skill that takes time to develop. Manual focus gives the most artistic control in the end but AF can be nice in certain situations.
thanks for the video, I've been super close to switching to sony, but now wondering. still havent bought a second camera for my r6ii, you think the r7 is worth buying to take advantage of the wide angle wide aperture primes completely missing from the full frame line up? seems so counter productive to put a wide angle on an apsc and telephoto on my ff. super frustrating situation
Thanks for the comment! It's really hard to say without knowing your particular shooting needs. The R6 mkii is a beast of a camera and my choice for most situations. The R7 is great if you need lots of resolution or reach and is great as a back up with it's dual card slots and build quality. I find it complements my R6 Mkii and the new sigma lenses will make it an even more attractive option for many people looking at the R7 in the future.
I am looking for long range that fits the R7. Does Sig make any of those?
@@firstlast2034 Hi, Sigma hasn't announced any long reach telephoto lenses up-coming in the RF mount as of yet. Your best bet for a long range affordable option for the R7 may be the Canon RF 100-400 5.6-8 IS. Hopefully Canon will allow Sigma to release more lens option in the future. All the best!
They say it's the same sensor as the 5D IV. I used them simultaneously, and the R was always definitely much softer with perfect focus, too. As well as, the R had magenta tinge to it in many scenarios. The IQ in the 5D IV is much better in my opinion.
I never shot the 5D IV so can't comment decisively. I will say that from looking at shots from the 5D IV and the R that they do seem to render very similarly. The difference in sharpeness may be due to factors such as a different anti-aliasing filter. It's interesting how even when camera companies reuse parts in other cameras the results are not always identical.
I bought my R6 because Canon had it refurbished for $1799.00 (USA) and I think that the R6mk2 is probably the best camera on the market.. Hate to have both as they are similar.. We will see, lol. I prefer the 20 or 24mp id perfect for my line of work which is mostly weddings and models. The R5 is just such huge files to work with and store..
The R6 is an amazing camera that doesn't get as much love as it should!
I love Sigma Art lenses! Some of my very favorite, even better than Canon imo..
Sigma ART lenses are just incredible in terms of image and build quality, as well as value for money.
Were you using an ND filter on some of those?
Hi yes I was using the Canon EF to RF ND filter adapter.
Very cool!
Thank you!
its better than my 80d for low low light situations. I can use my 80d for wildlife
Yes totally agree.
I don't use the thumb slider. What a waste of space!
Totally agree, I tried all the different suggestions but just never found the thumb slider useful for anything.
do you think the 24mp newer cameras with same sensor size collect more light since the pixels are ikely larger?
They don't collect more light per say, but have better iso performance as the larger the size of the photosites the lower the noise floor of the sensor is in general.
I bet the couple loved this. Nice work.
Thank you!
I shoot at 3200 iso quite frequently and I find no issue honestly! 😅
Agreed 3200 on the R is quite usable. I mainly shot fashion and portraits with the R so was always conservative and didn't like to go above 800 iso but for reportage 3200 isn't bad at all.
I would like to know if this lens has a factor of 1.6 on the Canon R7 and is converted to 28-56?
Hello, Yes this is a crop sensor lens and only fully covers a crop sensor. On the R7 with it's 1.6 crop factor that does make this approximately in the 28-55mm range. Hope that helps.
I use my 14-35 RF on this camera and I love it. It’s close to half the diagonal of the format at 14mm, similar to the great classics like the Leica 21mm, the Hasselblad SWC, 38mm, and the 165mm angulon on 8x10.
Very nice!
This is a powerful combination. I have mine adapted with the Meike drop in VND, usually with a CPL though. This and the older Sigma 17-50 f2.8 with the R7 is a great combination too. The later is arguably a tad sharper.
I'd love to try the 17-50 2.8!
Good composition bro, too slow for KZread or IG. 4-6 secs max, add b roll to set scene and 30fps a few times in between, clean.
Thanks! This was my first ever shoot and I had absolutely no idea what to do, LOL. Trying to get better but video is a new art for me so still taking baby steps, LOL.
I use the R6M2 with the intention of selling my R6. I wind up keeping both. I shoot weddings and events. The original R6 renders portraits beautifully with slightly warmer colors the R6m2 is sharper I love ❤both. Btw this is a great practical review
Thank you! Yes my experience was very similar and the R6 works very well in combination with the R6Mkii.
I only miss three things, joystick, ibis and dual memory cards, but otherwise I definitely don't regret having it.
Thanks for your review. I'm on a tight budget and want to buy a Canon FF mirrorless + a 24-105 4F. I am hesitating between R and R6, there are three things that make me doubt: 1-The small information dial that the R has, I find interesting (I guess you can live without it). 2-Doesn't the body construction of the R6 look like a "toy"? 3-I wonder if the 20 Mg will be enough for advertising photography. My intention is to use it for many types of photos (landscape, children, still lifes, maybe some videos, animals...). Any suggestions as an R6 Mkii owner? Thanks again!
A lot will depend on price. The R is a great budget option, especially if your focused on photography. The R6 is a solid camera and would personally be my choice if your looking for a hybrid camera as the video and ibis make it more versatile in that regard. Hope that helps.
Your review helped me to decide to buy a used R (with only a 2,000 shutter count!) for $1,000. I must say that I was immediately stunned by the EVF and the back screen! Then, when I downloaded the files and processed the photos… YIKES! What a camera… thanks for your comments.
Hey thank you for your comment! Yes this is still an amazing camera that produces amazing images. All the best!
pls is anyone having a green tint issues on raw files from the EOS R ?? if not Great camera, sharp images, great AF especially coming from the 6D mark ii ( trash )
@@guenudenahum6423 I have issues with the R, R7, and R8 green tint in Luminar. To solve, before opening in Luminar, I converted the RAW files to DNG… it works. You can also convert to TIFF instead.
The af on mine is terrible love my r7 r6 isn't bad ether.
Interesting. I think it depends on what your shooting. For faster paced subjects the AF on the R is slow. I found the R6 to have beeter AF than the R7, but both are good.
You can do a comparison between the R , RP and R8 as it is some what many viewers are eager to know whether which one to pick in terms of for video purpose , for still photo , or both purpose with real life example. Great video for R ! Hopefully to see more.
Hi, unfortunately I no longer have the R. I have never used the RP but own the R6 Mkii which has the same sensor as the R8. I have to Say that it really isn't a contest between the first generation RF cameras and the latest generation in terms of video features. If your a video shooter I personally would go with the R7 overall, or an R8 if you really need full-frame.
Why not if it worked last year it will work still
If your asking about the AF issue it is an issue that has been well documented by other users both on youtube and on forums. It's frustrating as sometimes (particularly in good light) the AF works flawlessly and at other times (particularly with a burst of shots) you will get images that 90% sharp but not quite tack sharp. As I mentioned I did not initially have this problem most probably because of the conditons (good lighting) that I was shooting in at the time.
I use this camera as my only camera. The files are demanding, sure…but it gives great opportunity for cropping if you work with kiddos who don’t like to sit still. I haven’t used it with sigma lenses, but with a RF 24-70. I just haven’t seen anything worth spending the $ on in the same price point. That’s what gets me. I want the r6m2 but there’s no way I’m dropping 2500 on a new camera at the pricing they have now
This was great the EOS R is my main camera and my first full frame. I have no complaints and no regrets buying this camera
One of Canon's legendary cameras for sure!
I got this lens because of all the praise I've seen. My Canon R7 is just waiting for it and the adapter, I'm so excited to test it and just play around. I see you have 2 photoshoot videos with this combo, I'll go watch both of them to see what I can expect :D
This is a great lens, I prefer it for video but it is very versatile for photo video hybrid shooting. Enjoy!
@@amourphoto Yeah that's what I've seen, and it's really great to have found your opinion because I know the Camera is perfect for wildlife but it's so hard to find other type of content. Only bad thing about this combo is that it's very long and finding a budget gimbal that can balance it has been an impossible task for me
@@vinjass Yes balancing this on a gimbal would be be tuff.
Is IBIS works with sigma 18-35? I heard latest firmware blocked IBIS with third party lens.
Mines working fine. I'm on 1.4.0 which is the latest as far as i know. Please note that if you use the viltrox speed booster that will make the ibis not work but this has been the case since the camera was launched.
Hi, nice video! I have this lens since 2016 and it is my go to lens on my 70D. I might be considering going with R7/R10 at some point due to the massively better AF on the new R models. Do you think the R10, with 24 MP, would be a better choice than R7 (32,5 MP) regarding image quality with this lens?
It really depends on whether your talking about photo/video or both. I like this lense much better for video use. The R7 sensor is very demanding for photo use (with all lenses) but is no more demanding for 4k video. Personally i think the R7 offers far more value and would be a more clear upgrade to your 70d (which i have owned in the past). Hope that helps 🙂
Love my Canon f1.8! Thanks..
