R6 is definitely better in low light. I have the R and R6 with the RF trinity and RF 50 1.2, tested all lenses over the last few months. Less noise and retains colour a lot better, if you print you can tell straight off. The R is a very good camera but after using both side by side for a number of months the R6 is better in numerous ways. 20 mega pixels is still plenty and I have come from DSLR Nikon D850 prior to R, compose right and in nearly every situation it’s perfect, I have printed several large photos and you can barely/if ever tell the difference from the R to R6. LCD you can barely tell the difference of Lower res as it’s slightly smaller screen but yes the R is better here, EVF is better in the R6 with double the refresh rate available. R6 handles much better with better placed buttons, wheel and slightly bigger grip. Autofocus is much better and FPS night and day difference you will capture so much more tack sharp photos with the R6 shooting weddings or anything moving and not miss anything not like the R which was a step back from Nikon D850 but R6 is better than both. R very good but the R6 is better for photography, only exception if you shoot in studio or very slow moving subjects the resolution in bright light will stand to the R for everything else and overall the R6 is better. Also I don’t think you mentioned the better dynamic range of the R6. A lot of online ppl who own the R are trying to make out it’s better, as an owner of both I can confirm it’s not. It’s still a great camera but if I was buying just one it would be the R6. I do prefer the build of the R better as in materials but the handling and grip are better in the R6. Yes R5 is the best of both and then some, but for most you are better off getting a premium L RF lense than jumping up to the R5.
Hello thank you very much for your big personal feedback. I appreciate your afford so as others. Thanks a lot. Happy new year from Frankfurt am Main/Germany, Daniel
My sony a7r3 still laughs atyou with your overpriced 20mp r6. Being able to crop in is better than having a below average resolution camera thats just the way it is. Being flexible is a must for professional shooters.
@@castielvargastv7931 R6 ain’t over priced, maybe for you but not for me, everything is subjective, it essentially offers a 1DX Mark III in a small mirrorless body! If I wanted the A7R3 or A7R4 I would have purchased them. I went to mirrorless with price not an option buying the best glass available which is most important and Canon provide that. I have used a D850 for many years so I can talk from experience, yes the extra resolution can be great sometimes but the R6 quality is really good. I don’t crop much at all, much prefer getting it right in camera. If I ever cropped in the past it was minimal. Sony are great though and only for them they gave Canon and Nikon a kick up the bum a few years back to get into the mirrorless game. Some of the best photographers in the world still shoot 20MP on 1DXmarkIII and D6 so don’t go on like all pros need it sure there have been epic photos taken the last 100 years without massive megapixels! R6 is brilliant in low light with both colour, noise and focus, better than the A7RIII or A7RIV in this regard which many of us appreciate. Having R5 and R6 is the best set up going at the moment, anyway all cameras nowadays are extremely good, happy shooting 📷
Guys please don’t make reasons to laugh at each other. I own both R and Sony A7iii Sony is better in resolution but my personal favourite is R It’s just preference And I can tell you if I have to buy another camera by selling these 2 , it’s definitely R6 or R5 than A7iv or A7siii. Just can’t let away Canon for Sony lol
An enthusiast person like me would save the money for other things (such as lenses). I decided to go with EOS-R and EF 70-200 F2.8L IS III and really like it.
Nice video! The downloaded example files for the R all show the camera was set to Partial Metering, while the R6 was set to Evaluative Metering. That might explain why the R low-light photos look different when compared to the R6. Too bad all the settings weren't identical so that I could compare IQ from both and make a decision.
Great video... I ended up buying a second after seriously considering the R6. I am primarily a stills shooter so it was a no-brainer. Having said that, I am not disappointed with the video quality from the R.
easy for me. I keep my eos R because i don't want spend money more. And i keeping my EF lens because there are great (16-35 III + 24-70 II + 24L + 50L...). Maybe i will use my money to do something in my life and take picture in 2021...if Covid and politics decide it.
the price difference shrinked and so the R6 became a way better option... I kinda can tell the 2018 30 mp sensor on the R is aging... it`s kinda muddy and with low dynamic range the one on the R6 is newer and way more capable of taking beautiful shots even at higher iso`s... If I would be a solely studio portrait shooter I would go for the R but I am a hybrid mixed shooter of portraits, people, events and video and the R6 is just a way better value
I am a happy owner of the EOS R6 now. Check out my latest video about the R3, R5 and R6 --> ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RzbDqWedKs0.html
I have an R and a R6. If I know I’m going to make a 24x36 inch print or larger I will use the R on a tripod. Most times I use the R6 for the speed and focus. I like both cameras. 20 MPS doesn’t bother me unless I’m making a large print.
R6 handling and operation is far better imho. I love MPIX and usually shoot 5DS/R, but still 20 to 30 MPIX not an issue for me - the difference is too little to matter. 20 to 45 MPIX (+100%) is a much more relevant difference. And this is why it makes sense for Canon to go: R6 20 MPIX / R5 45 MPIX / "RS" 90 MPIX. Having R6 with 30 MPIX would make it "too" easy to skip the R5 and just go with the R6. To compensate for 20 MPIX Canon did not cripple the R6 body or menu options and that's a big plus. I agree that the upgrade is costly and understand if some skip. I usually only buy every second generation.

Canon Eos R is better. I bought it a month ago. For nature or city photography is 30Mpx a better choice. R6 is good for sports :)
Iso 3200 was crap on my R, and on the R6 even 12800 looks better. Combined with IBIS R6 becomes a low light monster. You can handhold 1/10 easy. Also video is much sharper on R6 even 1080p.
@@laimonasapavicius5643 thats weird, I do use 6400-8000 quite a bit and yes I use noise reduction but the pics look good, by the way I use to shoot on Nikons Z6s and they were a little cleaner ,not by much tho, but the colors on the Nikon on those high iso , are nasty, Cano. Retains better colors.
Good video to compare both models. According to the video, the R6 has richer and darker colors. R6 and overall I see the development halfway to make it really great.
For action photographers the EOS R IS NOT the way to go. The Canon EOS R can shoot up to 8 frames per second, but this is only available in One-Shot AF. With AI Servo enabled, Canon's literature claims a max burst speed of 5 fps which is less than the 5D Mark IV's 7fps.
can you please keep the musics lower than your voice? i had to turn down the volume when the music turn on, it's nice music but i prefer constant or lower volume of the music so i can hear what you say with out busting out too much noise and wake up my son :(
I'm questioning your eye sight as you can clearly see in even in the RU-vid video that the R is noisier in your ISO testing and there is a color cast in the R shot that isn't present in the R6. They are both good cameras but low light the R6 is definitely better. Personally I wouldn't mind having both. different tools for different jobs
Thank you for the video. I was thinking about upgrading to R6 after 2years of using R mostly because of the 4K crop. Seems like, I need to skip R6 model and wait or pick up something else!
The 20.1 MP isn't going to be an issue for the vast majority of users. The Sony A7SIII is only 12.1 MP yet people have switched from Canon to Sony because of its video performance.
It was a big mistake for canon to release the R and the RP without IBIS, in a studio environment you won’t notice the difference. But I would rather have less Megapixel than IBIS, how many people will end up printing for photo on a regular basis? Most of the stuff ends up on Social media anyway where some sort of resizing need to be done anyway…
So if I want to get into the Canon mirrorless ecosystem and I’m convinced to go with the R and put the money toward glass. How much of a downgrade is it to go to the RP knowing neither is a long term solution (wait for an R6 mk II) and invest in more RF glass? This is for photo purposes only
Hi Daniel. You’re the only You Tube reviewer that I know that says the Canon EOS R has better low light performance than the R6. That includes optical testing studio testing etc. How do you explain that ? Thanks.😊
hi there, during the time I reviewed these two bodies, it seemed, that the R-version had the better low light performance, despite the fact, that is has more megapixels on the same space as the EOS R6. I still use the R6 and I updated the camera twice since then. Today I would say the opposite is true. Daniel
Hey there, hopefully you see this comment but i was considering the r5 but then had a new idea i shoot portraits, cars, landscapes, and do video work so i was considering buying the R6 as an A cam and the R as a B cam. Does this sound like a plan that is worth following through with? Would love to hear some thoughts from everyone :)
Really love your videos. One question, How do you compare the image quality of 30 Megapixel on eos r versus 20 Megapixel on the R6? Any noticeable difference? Is that gonna be a downgrade? Thx.
Your review seems to be the opposite of many others I have viewed. In the other reviews, the reviewers have stated that the R6 has significantly better video and low light capabilities - around a full stop better.
If you download the sample images, you can see that the R6 is consistently shot at a higher shutter speed (about 2/3 stop) in the low light shot of the wattle and daub-style shops, and therefore looks darker. Adjusting for this, the R is still a hair brighter but it's a lot closer. The low light shots were shot with automatic metering, not manual, so the cameras just don't make the same metering decisions. That said, a slower shutter speed will mean more noise. The issue here Is that these are properly-exposed shots, which don't push the files so far. When you start needing to bring up shadows/save wrongly exposed shots etc, that's when the sensors start to show what they can do. As for noise in video, every comparison I've seen shows the R6 winning there. I own the R.
Ganz ehrlich, der Vergleich mit einem Handy, dass man es ja auch nicht nur zum telefonieren benutzt hinkt doch sehr... Ich kaufe mir ein Smartphone nicht nur um damit zu telefonieren. Im Gegenteil. Das mache ich wohl am wenigsten damit. Die R6 kaufe ich aber ganz speziell um damit zu Fotografieren. Video ist fast komplett unwichtig für mich. Entsprechend sind mir sämtliche Videofunktionen fast völlig egal. Ich schreibe das nur, wegen Deiner Verallgemeinerung. Manchen ist die Videofunktion vielleicht viel wichtiger als Fotos. Jeder, wie er/sie meint :-)
Certainly Frankfurt looks good, must go whenever that maybe. I have the R but if I was to upgrade I will go for the R5 & that will necessitate the acquisition of the trinity or close , RF 70-200 f/4 & 50 f1.8 especially almost must have even if the 1.2 is better . What happened to the usual photo store near the station 🤔.
Hello from Frankfurt, the store still exists, however I do some reviews for other companies as well. I am looking for the RF 70-200mm f/4 as well. I will get the RF 50mm f/1.8 STM from a friend soon to make a review about it. Daniel
