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

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)

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.

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! :)

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. Please do a video and post your results if that's not too much to ask for!

@@nagasolaire8462 If you're talking about the A7S3 then there is a debate but the A73 that came out 3-4 years ago is getting old: has no 10-bit Codec and the Sony colors are horrible under mixed lighting, so you'll be wasting time in post trying to fix things. 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 shoot kid's theater (terrible lighting, usually at ISO12-18k) and have been shooting at -1EV with my 5DIII for years. 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.

Before you buy, i purchased this camera 2 weeks ago. nothing but problems from the start.. So i do video and that what i got it for.. So right off the top i setup the menu's get it all ready, hook my Ninja V, then turn on the camera then go to the menu's and the Menus system gets displayed on the Ninja not the camera, so you can't use the touch screen to navigate though you menu's because the menu's are only on the Ninja, (Nice huh) LOL next thing i notice when you turn on your Ninja the Level indicator disappears, i'm like WTF, all the other stuff is there except the Level Indicator.. then i record some footage in Clog 3 Cinema Gamut , then once i take that footage in the editor, and apply the general LUT that canon provided, the shadows in the skin tone's turn a puke Green. so i found out you can't use Cinema Gamut with an external recorder, ok so i record footage in Clog 3 bt709, then in the editor again i apply my LUT, and right away the color scale is way off, skin tones cast a greenish yellow in the shadows, almost impossible to get rid of.. then I also notice a ton of noise in the footage as well, and my exposure was set 1 stop above exposure. I'm like wow this is a crappy camera.. then i notice the image is sort of soft and crappy.. The wort camera i have every filmed on.. So being that said there is other problems with it.. If you record video using internal settings canon uses this crappy Coded so when you take it in the editor it lags it's not even really playable.. Now before this camea i was using the Fuji X-T3 and the quality of the video was better then the R6, i mean The Fuji X-T3 is a APSC sensor and the Canon R6 is full sensor and the fuji is better quality, that is SAD.. So just to let you all know before you go spend $3,500.00 on a camera you should know this camera is terrible shooting Video, the worst..

Great summary! I’ve seen others say that the R6 focus autofocus hunts occasionally in video mode. Have you noticed that occurring?
@TheZachMendez3 жыл бұрын
I think the hunting depends on the lens you are using. The focus system itself seems pretty spot on in my experience. Thanks so much for watching.

Next video ; soooo... I returned the R6 and bought the R5 😅 I was thinking of getting an R6 as my backup body but decided to get a second R5 - really loving the extra detail from the 5d4, and if you need to crop you can flip from landscape to portrait, and still have 19.9 megapixels... one thing I changed on my camera to really enjoy the Eye AF is to set the SET button to pull the focus to the centre of frame - gives you that really nice balance of Eye AF , with control more like a centre point focus!

@tylerdoestech3 жыл бұрын
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!
@TheZachMendez3 жыл бұрын
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! :)
@Bernivd3 жыл бұрын
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...

Hey Zach, great video. One question I have is when you are shooting video and you do not have people in them, like landscape or a theatre scene, what mode of autofocus do you use? Is there a zone you choose? Even on my Mark iV I was always confused what to choose for the best focus.
@TheZachMendez3 жыл бұрын
Yes you can definitely zone focus, but I typically always have single point because that helps me know exactly what will be in focus. If there are people in the shot, I always use face detection. Also, sometimes in video I'll just focus manually and on focus peaking and that helps me know what is in focus. I hope this helps! Thank you for watching.
@MonaShieldPayne3 жыл бұрын
@@TheZachMendez thank you for answering. I toyed around and found the one big center zone works well if I were to shoot a room for real estate purposes. I did have to increase the AF responsiveness though to keep up with the movement on a gimbal. The wide zone was not working at all for me. Face seems the best but it won't work for a room.

@Liliia Bartysh I've used both the R6 and R5, and both are fantastic. It's very subjective, but I very much prefer the ergonomics of the Canon, and I find the autofocus quicker for wildlife and action. The main consideration is that Sony has a TON of lenses available for their mount, while Canon has a much smaller number(although they're excellent). Of course, you cam always get an EF to RF adapter and use the massive catalog of great EF mount lenses. I hope that helps!
