Let’s be honest here, most photographers don’t need more than 24MP. And as it is, the original Canon EOS R6 is around 20MP. They prioritized high ISO performance in this camera and coupled it with some of the best autofocus in the industry. And if you act quick, you can still get the Canon EOS R6 with a rebate from Adorama or Amazon. In our review of the camera, we said that the Canon EOS R6 is a fantastic workhorse camera. “Canon has pulled an ace out of its sleeve when it comes to animal eye AF,” says our review. “I have been blown away with just how accurate and precise it has been. The eye AF starts almost instantaneously if you are close enough to an animal, and it does not matter if the animal is stationary or in motion.” There’s more below.
To summarize things, here are the pros and cons from our review. But sure to read the full review before making a purchase. You can still get the Canon EOS R6 with a rebate from Adorama or Amazon.
