I own the R6 and I absolutely love it. Buy the one you can afford and does the things you will use it for. Don't break the bank for no reason.

I have a Canon R6 and I love it! And for those who say "you cant shoot landscapes because the megapixels are too small" are just being snobby, you can shoot anything with anything.

R10 or RP. Or 5D Mark 4, 6D mark 2 or 90D. Add a flash, and 3 quality lenses (walk around, tele, portrait). 2000 dollars and you’re completely set. Many choices possible - I’ve been in the Canon ecosystem since the 450D and have always been happy. I’ve built up my gear over the years, and I’m currently on R5 with RF 28-70, EF 70-300, RF 35 and EF 16-35. My system is complete!

Still shooting every video for both my KZfaq channels with my beloved Canon EOS R, which I bought the day it was released. Even gave up both my GH5 and my Sony A7iii for the switch and I couldnt be happier!!! Currently selling my Sony ZV1 to purchase the R10 for a vlogging and B cam! Great comparison vid as always guys!

I have never seen a better comparison video. Exceptionally professional and well presented.

I decided to buy the RP because this is my first mirrorless camera and I didn't want to invest too much if I don't like it. Also, I can use my EF lenses with the adapter. I wanted the R6 but it's a little steep right now. Anything above the R6 seems like they are more for pros and serious amateurs.

This does an INCREDIBLE job of showing some important/relevant differences between these cameras for beginners. Well done guys :)

When I come to KZfaq to look up about cameras, this is the type of video I love and am impressed with. Not to long but enough for the right information I need. Great presenters, and overall great video.

By the way, the EF-R adapter works great! I adapted an older 400MM f/5.6 to a friend's R6 and it worked flawlessly! So if you've already got EF glass then just adapt it and you'll be fine.

Thank you so much for laying out all the options so plainly! Great segment! Stay safe out there!

So great reviews and very good explanations, not just tech all, a good mix! I like the way you are and you are amazing : ) Thanks Chelsea and Tony!

thank you so much for making this video, I have been researching for two weeks and I just cant decide. This video really helped.

This was so useful, thank you so much!

Great summary! I use 2x R5 with great lenses like 85 1.2 RF / 28-70 2.0 RF and I LOVE them. But honestly, when it comes to value, the RP is amazing and unbeatable.

I bought my R7, RF 100-400, & RF 85 from Milford. Saw you ad for them and gave them a call. Great deal and service!

Thank you for all the recommendations and info.

Fantastic tutorial and info. Well done. Subscribed!!

Again, you both never disappoint, Great review and your Honesty is very well appreciated. I have learned so much from your KZfaq Channel I can't thank you enough. A dedicated follower and fan for life, Thank you Chelsea and Tony.

By far one of the best explanations for cannon cameras thank you so much

Thanks for this incredibly useful and practical review. You made it really easy to see and understand the differences in image and video quality.

Great summary. Thanks. I have the R5 and I love it.

This is the best buying guide on these. Thank you!

Love this channel. You guys truly rock!!!!

Great video, I have an RP and its amazing suits all my needs.

Well heck! I'm a beginner with a RP, and have been dead-set on upgrading to the R6. Now you've got me thinking I might need to tuck away a little more cash for the R5. Thanks a lot y'all!

Chelsea swings a mean bat. Perfect swing. Thank you for all that canon info, that was a lot of work.

I can't believe the R3 has eye following detection for focusing. I believe that stated with Canon way way back with the Film camera the Elan 7e which was my first Canon camera. The "E" stood for eye detection. So cool!

Thanks for this video really broke down the R line well and now I have a clear idea of what i will consider buying

This is such a great video. Thank you for breaking this down!

I've been carrying my RP around in my backpack while traveling around the world. Love it. One day I'll upgrade to the R6.

From someone who has used the Eye Focus on the R3 - I can absolutely assure you that it’s not gimmicky. It’s fricken awesome. It follows faster than my brain can possibly comprehend. I look. I press the shutter. Perfection.

Fantastic review and information on camera options Thank you very useful

Would like a video like this but for Sony and Nikon. Very informative to those starting out or looking to see if it is worth upgrading from crop to full frame

Very good informative video Tony ! The R5 is the camera that I was waiting for. It is expensive but since it has been firmwares updated (1.52 + 1.60) it is worth every hard saved penny. This video will help people to decide for sure. Good job !

excellent review I have the EOSR and I’m completely happy with my purchase.

Thanks for explaining ☺️ I understand ❤️

Killer well rounded review!

Would love to see a similar video reviewing Sony cameras. I've been using an a6500 for a few years. There are so many A7 cameras now, to pick through.

I went for Canon R6 + 24-105 mm F4 L lens. After many years I switched from Canon 550D + 15-85 mm. Now its time to decide to buy or 100-400 F5,6/8 or shorter 70-200 F4 L but with 1.4x or 2.0x gear.

Excellent video guys 👏🏽👏🏽

Thank you for this great info

appreciate your adherence to 4k/60.. looks sooo good

Finalllyyyyyy someone was smart enough to create a video like this! Sooo insightful! 👏🏻 👍🏻👍🏻😀😀

I miss Milford Camera... Jesse does awesome classes and is outstanding with his advice.

Thank you very much for this very good comparison video. Once again. It answered quite a few questions for me. I think the most important message from you is - buy good lenses.

I know you guys get paid for the sponsorships, but I still wanted to say thank you for having a local business as a sponsor. B&H Photo, Adorama, Amazon might have great deals, but the care that you get from a local business outweighs any perceived savings.(Actually, the national camera companies aren't really that much cheaper, based on comparisons with my local shop.) Plus, if you support the local business long enough, you become a familiar face to the workers, and you tend to get some perks, for example, when the R7 started shipping, my local store got two of them, they called me before others on their wait-list.

Great video great comparison

Thank you for always sharing all the best content and awesome tips 👌👍🤗

I've been using full frame lens on aps-c bodies my whole life starting with the first digital rebel and Ive had no problem. Actually I love the range I get from using FF lens on crop bodies. The advantage is that you can use your lens on both bodies but if you have aps-c lens, you can't use them on a full frame body. Think the R7 is way better than just a camera for birds.

Thanks for the break down!👏🏼👍🏼

The ef/rf nd filter adaptor was something that interested me in staying with canon being that I already own ef glass and I do alot of outdoor video. So all I needed was a body and adaptor. So I went with the r6, and the 4K video is great. Rf glass seems great but the results I’m getting right now I’m very content with.

Great information. Thanks!

Thank you for your work

Good video, I have the RP and L glass but in the future I want the R5.

I’ve been wanting to buy a nice camera for about six months or so, after watching your channel for about a year I decided on the R7. Today I bought it, come home all exited, turn to your channel so I can watch the video you have on tutorials and settings (newbie here) and I see this video 🤦🏽‍♂️….I’m not even going to look at it just in case…😂BTW my wife and I love the channel.

I started with the Canon rp and the 24-70 2.8 then got the 16-35 2.8 then a 70-300 4.5 and after a bunch of jobs got the R and haven’t felt the need to upgrade yet. The only thing I do wish I had was 120 fps at least at 1920x1080 sometimes 😅

Milford Photo is great!!! Got my R7 today.

The cost of the camera you want is only part of the story, canon bodies are not cheap but n a par for equally specified other makes. Select a camera body based on features you use most often and image quality you need, the prices are almost linear based on these criteria. But lenses are a whole different matter. Canon RF mount lenses are expensive. Third party lenses offer usually much more bang for the buck but here is the rub, Canon won't allow third parties to make and sell RF mount glass. So my advice would be that unless you have a compelling reason to need some obscure feature only Canon cameras can offer then I would chose Sony or Nikon as your base body and then you have access to hundreds of top quality lenses at reasonable prices as well as second hand. Your camera bag can be a cornucopia of great glass for the price of just one Canon RF L series lens.

I have been a Canon fan for over 35 years. The lack of 3rd party lenses is a big deal. I hate to say this at this rate my next camera is most likely NOT a Canon.

Breaking it down very nicely for those considering the Canon system like myself. Not sure I can afford the glass tho.

Excellent review. Two items I would have liked to have learnt more about is how they compare size wise in your hand and for travelling. Also, what's got a flash built in and what doesn't.

I own an RP body. Fully satisfied. The only caveat is battery life. Want to buy the RP, invest on an extra battery too. Amazing photos on kit lenses too.

Great job, guys!

VERY WELL EXPLAINED.

living with the RP for few years and i still love it cant find any other fullframe with the same price point anymore

It makes sense to buy full frame lenses to an aps-c camera, because when you later switch to a full frame body, you will still be able to use them.

thanks a million guys.

EXCELLENT VIDEO. VERY CLEARLY PUT.

Another interesting story regarding Canon lenses... I was browsing a supplier website for a zoom RF lens to replace my Sigma 150 to 600 mm EF because of the focusing issues on the Canon R5. A chat box appeared and I asked who I thought was a retailer representative what he recommended... it turned out he was a Canon employee .... So I asked him about the Sigma issue and he said it was known issue and no plans to release the RF specs to Sigma so they could fix the issue. When I explained what I wanted to use the lens for he said my best option was the Canon 100 to 500 RF L series lenses and he kindly provided the link to the retailers listing ... £2,979 ! My Sigma cost be £749. No doubt the 100 to 500 RF L will take outstanding photos but for an amateur like myself I could buy a second hand car for that or pay my whole years energy bill (2022 only). If I wanted the Canon 10 to 500 RF L I would need to sell all my lenses including the R5 Body. I could perhaps then buy a second hand R or RP ! Doesn't make sense, so I may sell all my gear and switch to Sony or Nikon. Well done Canon.

For Landscape still going wild with the R. best buy I did in years.

When I wanted to move from the 70D to full frame, I chose the RP instead of the 6DII or the R. Paired with RF "L" glass, I get beautiful landscape images. The low-light performance does leave something to be desired, though. I will be moving to the R5 when/if prices come down.

Note that her favorite was the RP with the 24-240. And they had 6 of them in studio. What does that say? That's why I purchased the RP with the 24-240. Read another review that stated the RP was basically a miniaturized 5D MkII. Put 400K photos on one of those. And music videos. It's still going with an IAIA student. Just love having a nearly "pocket" MkII. Photos with the RP24-240 combo are surprisingly good. Very workable in post or even SNAPSEED. Have also seen reviews stating the combo is a well kept secret. Certainly not as perfect as a new 5D but it's so small and tidy. If knowing what one is doing, gets the job done quite well.

I missed this when it first came out. Thanks for pointing out that you had covered Canon. Now I’m looking ahead to seeing one on the Nikon lineup.

the best video ever. thanks alot

Hey, i really like the review. It sums up all the options well. But there should be a big disclaimer, that none of the cameras should be recommended as budget option. None of the canon cameras has acces to modern & affordable third party lenses. So even if you buy a R10 for 1k for wildlife you will need another 3k for the rf 100-500. I just startet photography a year ago with the R6 and I am really happy with the camera itself. But i will not recommend it to anyone who is on a budget under 10k. Just the trinity itself without a camera is roughly 8-9k (Sigma or Tamron around 3k for the E-mount).

OK this is one of your best ever vlog reviews! I hope I'm not being too out of line, but Tony I'm digging that hat and Chelsea you have stunning eyes and those brows...OMG! 🙂 Oh and BTW...the RP has amazing low light ISO performance, far better than my Z5.

It appears Canon is aiming for a lens monopoly. See the articles "These third-party Canon RF-fit lenses are being pulled from sale - but why?", "Viltrox Says Canon has Demanded They Stop Selling RF-Mount Lenses" and from Canon rumors: "The state of third-party lenses for the RF mount, Canon may be involved". For this reason, available glass will be limited and prone to monopolistic pricing. So my personal answer to 'Which Canon Mirrorless Camera should you buy?' is none of them. Sony slows down frame rate for third party lenses, but at least you can use them. The policy of Nikon is unclear to me, but Tamron is making a new Z lens (but it is basically a kit lens that nobody would want). I think any sensible person can see that these "buy only our line of products" positions are consumer hostile. If Canon follows forward with this policy, I will never buy a Canon mirrorless (I do have an M3, but that doesn't count). I don't need 30 frames per second, so I may never move to a mirrorless mount for my primary usage (I have Canon full frame and Nikon full frame DSLR cameras, and some older Sony alphas {but the Sony cameras are not for serious use}). If I were a camera manufacturer I would not choose a formal policy that looks hostile towards the consumers of my products. Back in the day, Canon made something called L lenses that were better than any third party glass. So people bought those and Canon made money. There was nothing wrong with that model. I want choices and the safety of alternative vendors. Maybe DJI or Viltrox will make a camera that has a totally open API and mount and then they will bury these Japanese dealers. People will say, "Use an adapter." but adapters always lose something. And I would not want my Sigma glass to suddenly stop working when the next Canon model comes out.

I would buy the Nikon Z9

I don't know if it's really fair to include the kit lenses, because when I had a 60D, I used regular EF lenses, frequently borrowing my dad's for his full frame camera, and they work just fine. I used a 100-400 with the 60D for wildlife photos, and it was nice to have the extra crop without having to crop it after transferring photos. Besides, if you're getting into photography and want to continue and get into it more, it's nice to have lenses that work on both. Sigma makes some great EF lenses that work fine with the adapter, and are a bit more affordable than Canon, as well as having more diverse offerings. I have the R and their lenses are pretty on part with the Canon L series lenses I've used. I ordered the R7, so I'll see how that goes. I probably wouldn't use the 50 on it, but I have a feeling that the 150-600 would be great on a crop sensor for getting pics of the moon. I know some people are like "no, you have to buy Canon L lenses for Canon cameras, they work the best!" But comparing the RF 50 1.2 to the Sigma 50 1.4, the images are exactly the same. Don't limit yourself to one brand, or one line of lenses, there are some great options. I got my Sigma 50mm used too, so if you have a local store, just walk in with your camera and an adapter, and see what they have secondhand. Sigma does have some APS-C lenses too, so if you have the adapter, go for it. One thing nice about getting the original R is that it came with a bunch of extras, including a lens adapter. I use it maybe half the time I'm taking photos, and it's great. It will be interesting to compare the R and R7, as there's been a lot of technological advancement in that time. I might take it to the store in person (I'm in Canada, so we have Henry's and the staff are fantastic) and then try some different lenses or comparisons. I need to get more memory cards since the R7 takes two cards, and for shooting 4K, you pretty much need to have UHS-II cards, so I'd like to get a matching set.

Great info!

God....im still using my T2i. Thats the inly camera i have. Im kind of stuck having to like it even with all this increduble new tech out there. Wishing you all the best with all the new tech

Thanks for the video but I wish you guys would of mentioned a few more things like which camera have IBIS. As a current RP owner I also want to mention that the camera does have issues since it's their first and a lot of the new things in the newer RF cameras I wish they would throw some love on the R and RP with simple updates but they don't. The camera has 4k but it's contrast focus and is extremely cropped. At times it just feels more like a purposely built feature rather than a limitation especially since cameras like the m6 mark Ii has it. I know it's a short video but little details like that makes me really want to upgrade to the R6 or R5.

When I started shooting wedding videos, I relied on sigma glass for my second and third cameras. I purchased Canon lenses for my main, but could not afford or needed expensive lenses for my two other angles.

I have my mind already set for the Canon R5. I will be renting one for a week to try out in a football game and a high school reunion photoshoot to try before buying. I also have to rent out the EF to EOS R adapter since I already have the 24-70mm F/2.8, 70-200mm F/2.8 and the Sigma 50mm F/1.4 Art lens. I also like the Clog 3 already built in the camera for video at 4K/120fps. Even though it can record at 8K I never record beyond 4K. It's just too big for post production. As of now I have the Canon 5D Mk IV.

I can imagine Tony is throttling some frustration discussing this😂 I speak with tons of barbers and hairstylists who want to take haircut photos (still subject in a well lit salon), and across the board I’m like “get an EOS RP and the most expensive 85mm you can afford” but about half the time they come back with something like “I got an M6ii (or 90D)with a kit lens, the guy at Best Buy said it’s better!”

Thank you for this review, very educative. which of these cameras would you recommended for event photography?

My cellphone and A7ii are doing the job just fine

WOW great job!

You can just get the adaptor and use the whole EF mount. They are amazing lenses and third party options 🤷🏽‍♂️

Awesome video with great, well thought out info. “In the dugout, where I always sat as an athlete.” 🤣😂🤣 Had me rolling! Thanks again, great job.

I jithin from kerala - India 🇮🇳 Brother you are giving so much motivation, in my thought camera's help to recovery of huge memories of our life 🥰 & attachment... i am interested to buy a new camera 📷 but i can't after few years , after 5 year's i buy a good camera ..... my brother your lessons and knowledge are my inspiration......... Tankyou brother 😘🥰😘

Thanks for the excellent info! But, that is the worst golf swing 9:45! hahaha!

Now this was a great video

The huge game changer was Tamron announcing it will make the 70-300mm zoom lens (same one as the Sony mount). That’s something I was looking forward to, and might make me get a Z6. Canon doesn’t make one in RF mount. The EF 70-300mm was discontinued, and a used one is a bit expensive.

great video, thanks guys! what would you reccomend for macro? i am looking at R5, but wonder if that overkill for macro niche

Great presentation but there is no third-party glass for the series and too few budget options from Canon.

This review was a great reminder regarding an important point on sensors, specifically made for the R7 vs R6 here in this video, but can apply to other cameras in general. The IQ isn't just dependent on the number of sensor megapixels (pixel density), it also depends on the design/quality/tech of the sensor itself. A more sophisticated higher tech but lower megapixel sensor may have better IQ compared to a lesser tech sensor that has more megapixels.

I started with a Canon digital Rebel my first real lenses were Tamron. I have a combination of Canon and Sigma lenses now, along with a 5D mk III, 5D mk II, and a 7D converted to shoot infrared. I supposed I will eventually need to move to mirrorless, but will resist as long as I can because I don't want to buy all new gear and sell what I have at a reduced value. If Canon does not allow third party lenses on their mirrorless when I am ready to switch, then I am unlikely to stay with the brand. Mind you, I have also helped five friends start out with their first DSLRs, and they are all on Canon.

Great video thanks, which of the entry level mirrorless canon’s would you recommend if Dog agility was the main subject matter?

Helpful Video thank you @ 6:05 you compare R6/R7 IQ. At the Cropped equivalent, seems no difference? My test of the R6 cropped showed IQ degrades more than the R7 on outdoor subjects at 30-50 yds, a real life sports situation
