Review on Canon EOS R6 Full-Frame Mirrorless Camera + RF24-105mm F4-7.1 is STM Lens Kit, Black (4082C022): Capturing Brilliance with Precision and Versatility by Kyle Rose

I'm sure a lot of people will like this camera. Just thought I'd share my personal experience in case there are people like me who could benefit from my time at R6. I have a video/photo company and have been making videos and photos with Canon DSLR for about 8 years. and I really love Canon cameras. I shot a lot of videos on 5diii, 1dx mark ii, 80d and c100 markii. The 5diii and 1dx mark iii are incredible cameras and I can't say enough good things about them. 1dx mark ii, apart from a few small details in my opinion an almost perfect camera. I wanted to upgrade my 5diii so after much research I decided to go mirrorless and get the R6. I was impressed with the video performance so thought it would be perfect as a backup or gimbal camera. I used to use newer cameras so I knew the R6 was going to take some getting used to so I tried to get used to it and give it a try but I couldn't shake the conclusion that I really hate them. The plan was to use it as a backup camera for the wedding I was having that week but I returned it instead. RF/EF adapter no problem. Mechanically it worked well, but the problem I found was that since the camera was already very light and my lenses were so heavy, the weight imbalance was huge. It was made worse by the adapter, which mounted the lens about an extra inch from the camera, making it feel very unbalanced in the hand. However, the big problem this caused was that it didn't work very well on my Ronin's gimbal. I had to move the camera back so far that it almost touched the gimbal and I had trouble finding the right balance. If a person were using lighter or R-mount lenses, or adding some weight to the back of the camera, it probably wouldn't be an issue, but I figured I'd make it up for those with heavy Ef lenses like e.g. B. Mention like me. Another thing I really disliked was the ease (or lack thereof) with which I could change my settings on the go. There's no screen on top of this camera, which I didn't think mattered, but it turned out to be something I really missed. I found the new top wheel to be awkward for quick access when using the camera, and it turned out there wasn't a way to set an index scroll wheel to set the ISO, just a rear thumb wheel, so it's all reversed seemed to what I had used too. There was also no dedicated switch to toggle between video and photo modes, which made things very cumbersome as I switch back and forth a lot. Overall, none of the controls felt right or like they were where they should have been. It always seemed to me that my digital SLR cameras were created not only for photos but also for videos. This camera was more like a still camera that could record video. It also looked more like a slick point-and-shoot camera than a DSLR. Again, some might like it, but it's not for me. And why doesn't the touchscreen take up the entire screen? There was a lot of unused black space upstairs and downstairs. Another thing I would like to mention is that while I see some advantages in it, I just didn't like the electronic viewfinder. Most of the photos I take are high speed sports or wildlife where I need very fast and precise focus with a lot of movement. I immediately noticed that there is a lot of lag in the viewfinder and when taking a picture it pauses for a second and the point of focus disappears, so I completely lose what I'm concentrating on. The more I used it, the more Canon seemed to be trying to make things easy and automatic for people, but as someone who likes to do everything manually on the fly, I felt like I had lost the ability to do so efficiently to do. A few mention it, but I've noticed that it gets hot and drains my standard lp-e6 battery much faster than my 5diii, so both of those factors will make me nervous if I'm using it for longer video shoots. After all that, I know there are people who will reply that all those reasons I didn't like it were wrong and my own fault and that I just needed to get used to it more, and hey, maybe they're right. I'm not saying it's a bad camera, I'm just saying it's not for me and maybe it will help another person in the same situation as me who mostly shoots video on a DSLR and wants to upgrade or consider buying one . into mirrorless games because of all the rave reviews and because "this is the future". I would suggest trying it before you buy, or renting it first, or at least making sure there is a return policy because you might hate it as much as I do.
