I moved from the 5D Mk 4 to the R6 and have no regrets. I can see where going with the 45 MP R5 can be better when cropping to have a larger sensor starting point. But I think that some foresight with aperture choice and ISO can allow you to capture multiple subjects at different ranges in sharp resolution. For me, the advantage that was more useful with the R5 was the ability to have more control in quickly shifting between photo and video and going to the video mode I want rather than a default one. Hopefully, Canon will rectify this in the near future with a software update or a firmware patch. I also have to admit that as I’m not a pro and can’t write off the difference in cost on my taxes that the R6 fits my budget better in many ways (memory, storage). I’m 77 and have been a passionate amateur since my teens. I started with a used Leica M3 in the early 60’s. The Pentax Spotmatic was my first SLR 5 years later followed by a Nikon F. I shifted to Canon with the 5D Mk3 9 years ago and had no regrets. This R6 is the best camera I’ve ever had the pleasure and satisfaction using. That said, if my budget could tolerate it, I’d have gone for the R5. Thank you for your balanced review.

Thank you so much for this video. It really laid everything out perfectly as I was initially saving for the R5 but after seeing the cropping ability and image quality of the R6 plus the cost savings regarding SD cards, no need to upgrade computer, etc plus the fact that I'm just a hobbyist, the R6 seems to be the better path for me. Thanks again!

Hands down the best R5/R6 comparison I've seen, thank you! It helped me confirm my decision.

This guy is patient in explaining the details. Thanks a lot.

I’ve had the R5 for a week now and I must say I’m loving it. The files look amazing and the shooting experience has really renewed my love for wildlife photography. I was hesitant to go mirrorless but I’m a convert now!!

Really helpful video Jan. You’ve just outlined all the reasoning that led me to go for the R5 and 100-500 when I got mine last September and it’s comforting to have that reasoning validated. Absolutely loving that combination for everything from insects to birds in flight and pretty much everything in between. One tip that I picked up from Ron at Whistling Wings was to use C-RAW, Canon’s lossless compression file format. It produces substantially smaller file sizes with, as I understand, no apparent loss of image quality. Also, when I want the extra reach and I know that I’m going to crop significantly anyway I’ll sometimes use the R5’s 1.6x crop mode. That again reduces the file size and with the 100-500 gives the equivalent of 800mm of reach but still with 17.25MP of resolution.

Great review! I recently upgraded my 5D Mk III to an R5 and have been blown away by how amazing this camera is, it's way exceeded my expectations even after I'd read and watched many reviews. I've really enjoyed customising the camera so all the main functions are one button click away. It's an expensive purchase and my wife wasn't too impressed but it's been well worth it!

27:26 Finally someone tells it like it is. Thanks! Most people talk about MP as if it was only a matter of choice. Sometimes they talk about the additional price for the (typically higher class) camera. Rarely do they talk about the need for adequate storage and horse power in the computer. Almost never they talk about the economical factor, since all this additional cost puts you at a severe economical disadvantage, so you will have to NEED the added features of the R5 to justify that investment. I hear stupid statements (by professional photographers!) like "If you are a full time professional, you should choose the R5!". If you put it this way, that's just BS. If you are a full time professional (especially then!), you'll have to analyze what you will be using the camera for, what the REAL costs are, what your estimated earnings are and if the R5 will give you enough increase in margin that the additional cost over time not only get covered but exceeded to an amount that is economically relevant. I would assume that this will be the case for a LOT less professionals than one would think. And if this is not the case, than the R5 will mainly do one thing: burn your hard earned money. It will literally be a burden for your company. If you are an architectural photographer in a corporate setting, if you are a serious birder, if you make your money cataloging pieces of art - yes. More MP = less aliasing/moire, more ability to crop, more detail, no discussion there. All others - not so much. The vast majority of professional photographers makes their money with portraits, wedding photography, event photography etc., and those will be far better off with the R6. Much quicker turnaround times for the clients, much better handling if you want to drop off a few money shots (or the whole material for review) right at the shooting or need to send a shot via mail (one R5 JPEG will overwhelm some mail clients already), much quicker break even point in terms of investment, slightly better ISO performance for photos (not a lot of difference, but that difference can make it or break it if you got a money shot that is on the verge to being unusable due to low light, plus the out of focus rendering sets the R6 apart [in general, but especially in low light]), massively better low light performance for video (no comparison there), better AF performance (-6.5 EV vs. -6), also more AF points in manual mode (5940/4500 for photo/video on the R5, 6072/4968 on the R6 (american specs seem to leave that bit out on the R5 spec sheet, probably not by accident, german site does list it correctly though). Opposed to what you suggested in the video, the R6 actually is better here). I did the math and it was clearly R6 for me, plus I love how the sensor renders (both in terms of details as well as in terms of colour). It has "that" look for portraits that you simply can't synthesize in post. Some sensors have that, typically the sensors of the 1D series have it (thats why the R6 has it), some Fujis have it, but most cameras do not. They still look good, the R5 takes amazing photos, sony cameras take amazing photos etc.. But the R6' images have a special look to them. Very pleasing, very flattering, true to life yet almost artistic. Bla bla. I simply liked the look of the photos immediately. But more importantly, this camera was the economically sound choice. Thanks for this great video! Also, good find concerning the video custom modes on the R5!

I have viewed many R5/R6 comparisons in the last few months. This is the best R5/R6 comparison I have seen. It helped to finally make my mind up! The details you have covered are incredible both in terms of the technology and Photographic capabilities. Thank you ever so much.

I have both and they are both great. I just got back from south Florida and it was the first time I noticed a difference in the EVF's. In that bright Florida sun I could see the difference where I never noticed it in the dark winter days at home. I used them equally and have been very happy with the images from the R6. If the R5 is out of your budget don't hesitate to pick up a R6 it's a very capable body.

After viewing so many rapid-fire American comparisons of various cameras I was beginning to lose hope of any decent tutorials until I hit your site. Speaking slowly and methodically, as you do, I've learned that education should not be rushed with loud fanfares and mind blowing statistics by rapid speaking Americans. Being chilled and knowledgeable comes across much easier. I got myself an EOS R6 just yesterday and now I'm looking forwards to putting your tips to use. Thanks!

Assign your manual photo settings to the custom function with auto update enabled. Then, on the dial you only have to turn one click to get to video, and one click back to manual mode (under the custom function).

Thank you so much for this video! I didn't even realize the *Auto update set* was there, this is something I've been wishing for since the 5D Mk2. I have two EOS R5 bodies and zero regrets!

Great video mate, a wonderful comparison of the two cameras. Cheers, Duade

I have been on the fence between these two cameras for over a year. This video has made the decision for me, the R5 is being delivered on Tuesday. Two reasons that helped make the decision were, my 1DX bit the dust and no parts are available, and I bought a new MacBook Pro with M1 processor a few months ago. I did order the optional vertical grip and battery as well as the EF-EOS adapter, card reader and 2 CF express cards. I couldn't afford to purchase any new lenses for now so I'm planning to use what I have. Thank you for making such detailed and easy to understand videos like this one.

A great, pragmatic encapsulation of the differences between the two cameras shooting long. It's clear that the R6 requires greater planning and composition agility. It's otherwise important to remember that most users will otherwise shoot 'wider' subjects too and this is where the greater versatility of the R5 on composition will more clearly show its value. Anyone contemplating an R6 will need to be more strongly focused on 'I can do this' and by this account, yes, it can be done.

Very informative video! I ended up going with the R6 as I think one underrated feature is they practically shoved a 1DX sensor in there, and the high ISO performance / files practically fit right into my present workflow without any major issues. I currently shoot with a 1DX Mark II and used to shoot with the original EOS R, which I have since sold and replaced with the R6.

I think canon missed an opportunity when not allowing custom video settings for the R6. Great explanation of both by the way.

Thanks Jan! This was incredibly helpful! I just started getting into bird photography back in January, when a snowy owl came to my hometown. I've been using a Canon 6D Mk I because that's all I had. Now I'm saving up for the R6 and I cannot wait!

Hi Jan, If you would recall my comment on your most recent video, you know why watching this video might be dangerous for for my bank account. On the other hand, it's funny watching videos from you and Duade again about 1.5 years after they were posted. Seems like you both have evolved and also changed your view on (some aspects) the same gear a bit. It just shows that even at a high level you can still learn and improve ;-)

Another great video Jan. Thanks. I chose an R6 for my wildlife photography for several reasons you mention. Better ISO, cheaper memory cards, and PC Storage. My 1DX mk2 was 20mp and never had an issue with image sizes from that, so felt the R6 would be fine.

Excellent video. 👍 The Canon EOS R6 is nearly half the price of the R5 in the UK. So i couldn't justify to myself the price of the R5, so I own the R6, which I'm more than happy with. I get why the R5 costs more, but it doesn't seem twice as good as the R6, which the price is trying to suggest.

Focus point on the R5 is smaller due to the fact that each pixel is smaller as the R5 do have 45 MP and the R6 only 21.

Thanks for the excellent video. I thought long and hard when I bought my camera and decided on the R5 and haven't regretted even though it broke the bank together with the 100-500. The ability to change quickly from video to stills is great so I am happy with the choice. I moved from a 7D MK2 which was 20 megapixels and the ability to crop more is noticeable. Really appreciate your videos.

Great review comparison Jan. On my R6, I believe I don’t need to turn the dial to video mode to start taking a video. I was in a shooting mode and when I pressed the red recording button it started taking video without turning the dial to video mode.

I bought an R5. Within two weeks I sold my EF lenses and DSLRs and am now fully RF'd. Best move I've ever done. I still have trouble finding the BIF (eagles) in the VF at 500mm and usually get their butts instead of the head LOL. The camera system is better than I am. Your vids are very helpful. Thank you.

Thanks for the Review Jan. Upgrading from a 6D I obtained a R6 some time ago and am pretty happy with it. It is very fast and the AF is amazingly accurate. I made the same experience as other reviewers (Kathlyn James) and find out, that my lenses (1.4/35L II or 1.4/85L IS for instance) were "sharper" simply because the AF was much better. So i would say, that the R6 is a good choice, if you do not need a very high resolution camera.

I was holding out for the R5 but after seeing this video, I think I'm going to get the R6 now, since it is available, and the R5 later, since it seems to be back ordered most of the time. Great comparison!

Great comparison Jan! Both of you convinced me to go for Canon mirrorless, I just could not wait any longer for Nikon to update their lineup for wildlife photography. Very happy with the R6 so far!

Such a fantastic and easy to understand explanation. Thanks Jan.

To answer your question, am I considering purchasing one of these? Yes. Why? I own the R7 but would like an R5 instead as a single camera to shoot everything imaginable , both stills and 120p video, and to be able to crop. I have Sony for landscapes, R7 for Sports but could simplify to one system and body w an R5. But the price….

A really useful review. It is surprising that Canon would bungle the video on the R6. I get the impression that there is two teams involved and they haven't talked much to each other. I can't explain the lack of a mode dial and the usability issues in any other way. The LCD screen creates a dissonance between the look of the camera and the price. A rectangular LCD screams "cheap" rather loud. As I understand video is becoming more and more important for the professionals. For smaller birds, the slomo is vital, so 4K @ 60 FPS is on the low side. 120 is mainstream and 180 is the best. I can see that the video can be a deal breaker on the R6 for a professional photographer.

I've seen (way too) many R5/R6 comparisons and this is one of the best comparisons out here.

Great presentation and comparison of the two cameras. I can't say it's made my decision between the two cameras easier but it has made it much better informed. I'm subscribing. 👍👍

This has been a wonderful video and definitely will help one to decide on one of these cameras. I truly like your comment on how its not only about buying R5 but additional costs involved, which is very important to consider. Thank you Jan

This is detailed and clear comparison. Thank you Jan for giving me clarity. :) Fantastic Review as always :) I guess I will go with the R6 for now.

I've been using the R5 now since August last year with the 800mmF11. The eye detect is something else and the ability to crop and keep all the details is amazing, took me about two weeks to get all the settings working on the Autofocus but once done (Following your setup video) I've been one happy camper ever since. Occasionally a little slow to pick up lighter birds in flight on lighter skys but under expose for a second it picks it up then readjust the exposure and all good, that third Adjustment wheel certainly comes in handy, Ergonomics wise I would have liked the main wheel on the back a fraction higher, but everyones hands are different so no complaint. Really loving the results, coming for the 7dmkII and Sigma 150-600 Sports.

the best review between r5 vs r6. helps a lot. thanks

I’m a wedding/portrait/architecture photographer and filmmaker. By far, this video helped explain what I am getting with each camera. I appreciate how thorough you are, especially when it comes to easily flipping from photo to video. I am a Nikon pro photographer and seriously considering switching everything to canon R5.

Fair hands-on comparison. Seriously and quitely explained as usual. Enjoyable! Kind Regards, Jan

Thank you Jan for yet another comprehensive ‘in the field’ comparison. I really enjoy all your videos because they are so thorough. My main photo interest however is landscape usually between 16 and 70mm so cropping is not usually severe unless I see another photo within my photo. You mentioned that you used to (as did many of us did I’m sure) shoot with an 8mpx camera and still have many keepers. So even with the 20mpx R6 one can still crop to 6mpx and make a good A4 size print. So unless one is to print very much larger on a regular basis (how many of us do THAT?) isn’t 45mpx rather superfluous? I like the idea of using the R5 for the extra reach when required thus carrying less weight and for the easy switching between stills and video but I assume the R6 will be great for my style of shooting and for very many other enthusiasts. Keep up your great work. You have a great talent for this imho.

Great information as always! I got the R6/800 F11 over the holidays and very happy with it.

Phew, I needed to view your R5/R6 comparison Jan. After owning digital Canon 5Ds I have been drawn to the R5. I am particularly impressed with how much bigger the subject(s) appear in the frame. However, you have now convinced me that in my situation a more practical option is to purchase a longer lens for my R6. I had no idea of the hidden costs! A sincere thank you for your detailed comparison.

Another GREAT and USEFUL video!! Thanks you a lot Jan!! Cheers and Kia Kaha from New Zealand

Good, great video and comparison. I find your reasoning and points always spot on, learned a lot from you, and played a big role in switching from 1dx to r5. Cheers, hope your channel will continue to grow and be here for many years to come.

Thanks for your comments. Is it possible to custom slow motion video on R6, and switch back from photo easily?

Hello again Jan. Thank you for another great video. Really relevant comparison of the two great Rs. Personally I decided to jump into the deep and warm water and get the R5 - with 100-500mm. After more than 5 months of waiting for delivery, I got it 2 months ago and I have not regretted for one second. Coming from an 6D Mk II with Tamron 150-600 this is another world. I fully agree to the points you make through this video. Here I learned yet another new trick on setting up the camera: This time regarding the auto update of custom settings. I had overlooked this menu-point - and have fretted over the camera reverting to original custom-settings whenever it went into sleep-mode. Now solved. THANK YOU for your great videos on Canon R5 (-6) - you have saved me a lot of time and trouble in getting to make best use of this great piece of tool. best regads Peder

👏🏻 best comparison video on this topic. Well done. And thanks for putting it together.

I'd bet the spot autofocus field is the same pixel size on both cameras if its the same system, it's just that on the R5 it's a smaller portion of the total frame. I have got to get one of these cameras soon they look great, thanks for the review.

Jan, thanks so much for all the effort in these videos. I’ve started following your channel for these kinds of honest reviews about usage in a demanding professional setting. While watching this, I can downsize to my reality as a passionate hobby photographer and clearly decide what suits my needs. Keep going...

Answered my question about cropping. Great details! Videos have better information than that FroKnows person.

I really should be going for the R6 but that higher resolution + downsample or crop, also for 8k Video (being able to crop/pan + RAW) is something I know I would do since it's a hobby. I often am confused that such features are marketed mostly to pros as the pros want to optimise output over time/spend, whereas us hobbyists can spend hours on a single image despite zero money made by it. Also that quick-video 'functionality'... I mean there is no reason the R6 can't have that other than canon crippling it. There's also no reason to have stopped offering m-RAW and s-RAW which I used a lot with earlier cameras and why no RAW video for the R6. The 1000€ in extra cost + at least one CFexpress is really something to consider tough, especially because future lenses are apparently gonna cost even more. Got a bunch of EF glass but anything RF is super pricey still :-/ Still not sure. My original plan was to wait and then rent both locally for a weekend... still no way for me to get my hands on them as rentals. Spring is coming and I want that super nice auto-focus... argh.

Wow, what a great comparison with clear facts being said. Thanks a lot for putting so much effort producing it and allowing me so much insights I'd never been able to doing on my own. Best regards, Jana from Berlin Germany 😀

Jan, a very nice concise comparison video. I enjoy all your videos so please keep them coming. Added to the costs of both cameras might be the adapter for old glass.

Regarding the red button, as I understand it, on the R5 it defaults to the C3 setting when the red button is pressed. Not the last setting used as I think you said. Great videos and images BTW.

Absolutely great video man! I really want to get a R5 because of the higher megapixel count but the costs, outside of the body, are going to be too high for me. Thank you for informing us of that. Take care.

As usual a brilliant synopsis especially of both these cameras. Where you differ from other reviews is making me realize the added costs of purchasing the R5. So I will be going with the R6 as it meets my needs for my hobby of bird photography, as I’m just starting out, and it is great for using as an event photog which I supplement my income with. Thank you again for such a great review!

Thanks for that video. I'm just looking forward to change my camera. My favourite type of photography is bird and wildlife. I couldn't find any valuable video comparing those cameras in my type of photography. Great job 👍 it was really helpful 🙂

Can you program video settings to the custom buttons of the R7? And have you done a video comparing the three cameras? R5, R6 and R7?

You call the mode dial on the R6 old fashion I say its a tried and tested method found to be very reliable and intuitive - good video.

Indeed, the best comparison of these two cameras I've seen. I'm in the process of upgrading from a 7D, so you've given me a lot to think about. I'm leaning towards the R5 for my nature photography. Thank you!

The R6 only has two video modes: full auto and manual. Within manual, there is the option to set ISO to "auto", so there's that. I personally use manual. My R6 remembers which video setting it was last in, and re-launches that setting when I turn it on. Auto aperture would be nice. I have no regrets about my R6 other than that I just couldn't afford an R5 at the time. I'm saving up for one, at which time I will sell ... my 5D Mark IV. That R6 is going nowhere; it's a great camera and I'll gladly use it as a backup to the R5 when I have one. Great comparison video, Jan.

What do you think about the Canon 1DX Mark II until switching to R5, R3 or R1? (Coming from a Canon EOS R. At the moment all lenses are EF.) Is the mirorrless advantage oven with the R that big, that you will not get happy with a DSLR?

Absolutely fantastic. I really enjoyed your video. I am about to upgrade my 90D to a canon EOS and this video has helped me make up my mind. I will be going for the R6 and the reason being the very last point about equipment. I don’t want to spend the extra on memory cards and or computers. I have been luckily enough to use the R6 for a weekend thanks to a friend who loaned it to me and was very impressed. I don’t make videos so the points on video is not a problem for me . I was concerned about 20Mp but you have helped a lot with your explanation. Thank you so much

This video makes me more happy with the purchase of my R6 at full price when it first launched. 20mp is more than enough for me and I do crop too and even when crop it stills look good. And I usually only post online. I can also upscale the image to a 20x30 print and make it looks good as the R5. So far so good. The R5 though give you more confidence when cropping a lot.

Hi Jan, What do you think about the Canon Control Ring Mount Adapter EF-EOS R vs. the Canon Mount Adapter EF-EOS R for a R6 and lenses as 100-400 MkII or 500 f:4 MkI ? Is the control ring really very usefull ? Thanks.

thank you for this video. Very helpful. I think at this stage, I should go for an R6. I needed this help!

Great review! I just ordered the R6 and look forward to using it for everything: people, wildlife, street/architecture/landscape/travel. But my priority is to have images printed to display on my walls. And I will not be using the camera for video at all. I don't know what size an actual high quality gallery print would have to be to match what I see looking at RAW files on a screen at 100%. Will I look at a 20X30 inch print from my R6 and wonder whether I should have emptied my piggybank and splurged for the R5 instead?

Great comparision! After seeing this I think I am going to look into the R6! Thank you!

R5 here, and I agree with your statements; also thank you for the ones I did not know; all makes sense; Thank you for the great video, Jan

Nice comparison video! I am so glad I sprung for the r5. I did find one place where we differ in our usage. I found that the red movie button on top of my r5 is unreliable. I was pressing it and nothing was happening. It was annoying as I could not get the recording to start. Finally, I reprogrammed the m-fn button to switch from stills to movies and then programmed my shutter button to start/stop recording. I also put my aperture on that top dial (rather than letting it stay as shutter) so now I am just a one-finger joe on video and stills. I also find the red movie button to be awkwardly placed so i am only too happy to be rid of it.

Hi Thank you for this fantastic review. I had the R6 and I questions myself a lot on the sensor size. This is why i got an opportunity on a R5 that has only 2000 actuation.... I will see the result on my 100-400 Mark ll. I longtemps for a 600mm f4...

Just ordered the R6 so well worth watching this although my order was already in. Good stuff glad I found this video :)

Great comparison, and an additional information, the R6 does support the switch between manual photo to video by pressing the record button on the latest firmware version :)

This is a great comparison video between the two. Thank you so much 👍

Always informative, and always a pleasure. Thank you!

Nice comparison, thx for that. The R5 is a rockstar - unfortunately also to expensive atm. The R6 looks like a wise decision.

I pair my R6 with the versatile 28-70 f/2 lens for better low light performance... the 20MP sensor works good enough for my everyday street and travel shoot. Plus, I agree with the hidden cost on the CF express card. And, 4K video is good enough for me. 😊😊

I've been deciding what to move to from my rebel t4i and yes everything will be a great upgrade. I've been watching so many youtube videos to help me decide re 5DMark4, R6 or R5 and this guy's videos are definitely the best. Easiest subscribe i've ever done. I started thinking about the R5 only because i couldn't decide if the 20 MP of the R6 was a deal breaker for me. I don't often crop but would like to have the quality to blow up some of my photos.

Excellent side by side review. Many thanks. I have the R5 and have been using it at the famous Bosque del Apache in New Mexico with Canon 100-400Mark II and the Sigma 150-600 Sport.Great results with both. Like you, I am impressed with the eye tracking capability and increasing my keeper ratio.

Great comparison. I’m looking at the R5 so this was incredibly helpful thanks so much.

I've been shooting with the R5 for about a week now and only using a newer SD card (from my R6) and the experience has been just fine. I never noticed any camera lag due or buffer full. Perhaps it makes more of a difference when you're shooting something like 8K video (I only shoot stills...for now). I guess my point is if your budget doesn't allow you to run out and grab a CFexpress card right away you're probably fine. I did ultimately order a CFExpress card, mainly so that I can have both slots full. Both cameras are simply FANTASTIC and have really upped my wildlife photography game.

Thank you for this comparison! I was interested in the Canon R6, but the limited video capability it is basically out... As a hybrid-shooter I need it to be fast. Canon has made the R6 worse then it could be!

Yes, storage can be a problem. I had to be pretty ruthless with the amount of raw files i saved from my 5Ds.

Awesome video. Loved the practical comparison. Thank you.

Great Comparison video. I think the size difference of the focus box between R5 and R6 is due to Sensor density difference, 45 MP on R5 have smaller box, compare to R6 has 20 MP hence the box is bigger.

Oh my god! This is the best review I ever seen on these Cameras. Congratulations. You bring such details in your comparison. From 5D Mark IV what will be my move. I dream about the R5 but the R6 remains more affordable for my pocket money! This review is made with Prime telephoto Canon lenses that bring the result really high. What's about a test with the Tamron 150-600 G2 or the Sigma? It could be very interesting to see the result. Thank you!

I love my R6. Frankly, since I am able to get close enough and try not to crop as much, it doesn’t make too much a difference to me. Compared to all the cameras I’ve used before, 1D mark IV and 1DX, I never had a high resolution sensor, so it’s a smooth transition. I could see if someone went from very high resolution to the R6 for this to be a factor but the AF system alone makes it the best camera I’ve used thus far. I may look into an R3 in the near future, as I love the feel of the pro bodies. Battery grips I use, but it still feels like the camera is slipping out of my hands sometimes.

Thank you so much for your reviews and comparisons! I’ve been considering upgrading to an R6 and after this video and your other review of it, I feel confident it will be the right camera for me.

I am not a canon user but I have to admit that these two camera bodies are great. Thank you for sharing this with all of us Jan!

Very good review, but I would prefer to have the image side to side not seen at 100% zoom but with the same framing on each side, that would allow to see the benefit of higher megapixel

Brilliant, as usual - thanks for this informative video

Thank you for sharing your knowledge! Amazing tipps!

Very clear comparison btw these 2 models, thank you!

Late comment. but the reason that spot autofocus area in the r5 is smaller is because of the difference in pixels. The spot is the same number of pixels on both sensors and due to the higher density on the r5 that number of pixels takes up less space.

This my favourite comparison video. Excellent results.

Again: what a great clear easy to wacht video with lots of useful info. Deep respect for your time, effort and skill in making this. You’ve been the only one to talk about the insane extra costs of the R5. Man those crazy expensive cards 😱. I am very curious still how both cameras compare when using the 600/800/11s but I am quite sold on the R6 somewhere in the future. Oh and on the 100-500. Would be an amazing upgrade from my current 100-400. Keep up the great work Jan!

Great video Jan.

Good walk-thru. Difference in actual working price between buying the two is good to highlight. I love MPIX and crop a lot. But got the R6 to replace my 5DS/R while I wait for the high MPIX R to come. A lot can be "equaled out" by using a program like Gigapixel AI to upscale your results when needed. R6 sensor is really amazing.

Excellent review. Now I have to decide whether to replace my 100-400L MKII and get an R6 or get an R5 and stay with my current lens. I shoot Hummingbirds. Cropping is always a factor, but so is cost.
