Canon EOS R6 vs Sony A7 III Full Comparison, Part 1: All About Photography 

The best camera review channel on the internet. Period.

Excellent review! I love the fact that you decided to split it into two parts. A lot of RU-vidrs tend to focus on video, but I am more interested in stills photography, so thank you for doing that.

This is by far the best video comparing the R6 versus the Sony. Im grateful you took so much time to do these test, Mathieu

This is what i was searching for!! Such a great video.. Appreciated this big effort and ideas.

Excelent review! Great job and thanks for the effort!

Truly grateful for this review man, thank you.

Good idea splitting the video away as I shoot almost no video so have little interest in that part of any review.

Thank you so much for the detailed comparison!

Thank you Matt for the comprehensive review!! I was really considering the R6 vs A7iii. But ended up with an A7c. Bought it used using the link in your website to BH. The face/eye detect on the A7c is ridiculously good! Thanks for the great website and videos! Happy New Year to you and Heather!

What a great video. I am glad I found your channel. You now have a new subscriber! The best review of any that I have seen!

Merci pour ce nouveau test complet, comme toujours. Les meilleurs selon moi. 😉 Bonne et heureuse année 2021!

So impressed with the comprehensiveness and objectivity of your reviews. I'm getting back into photography and shooting birds. Trying to figure if I should build on my 4/3s or take a new direction.

Fantastic comparison, keep up the amazing work!!!

Great Review. Thanks 👍

Nice video man. thanks I`m gonna get R6 this week

Amazing job. Big THANK YOU :)

If looking at the camera itself, R6 might be better. However, considering the value and lens selection, SONY is still the clear winner as a system. I came from Canon and love their ease of use, but I will go for SONY for the Tamron, Sigma or Samyang lens alone. Canon really need to open themself to third party manufactors now. EF lenses are showing their age now, RF lenes are too expensive.

When you say Low Light ....Do you mean between 5/8pm or 6/9pm ...during Spring / Summer when the nights last longer 730/945pm or later ?? I have a Sony DSCHX350 ....I managed to get some quality captures at distance in the dead of night after 12am .. with only the light of the fire as my only form of light , When i was out capturing the Moon

fabulous vid. thanks for the effort and the sharing. i am an appreciative subscriber. i am looking at the A73 because i am interested in sony's A7C which is a furthering of the 2yr old A73. stay well.

Best on the internet. THANK YOU!

Great review

Wow - great detail in your comparison. Impressive.

Mathieu ,thank you for very good and informative review. Can I conclude from your review that if I'm shooting sports and architecture and I don't have lens of each system yet and I want to go with one of this brands, the better decision will be R6? Whish you a productive and happy 2021 year.

Wow, nice review, very thorough in all aspects. I love those tables of comparison. Thank you very much for the video. I do click the subscribe button and like button. :-)

This is hands down the best camera chanel on youtube i appreciate everything you do! Keep up the good work 👏

Excellent, thanks

Genius Review !!

Hi! For commercial Photos, products, branding, which of both are better? Thanks

For the last few months I have been using a Sony a6400 and I have been using the Sony Picture Profiles ("PP's") to take still pictures. I eventually realized that this is a lot more significant than I thought. For me, the point has been that I could simulate what the "PP" setting would be like when making a video by taking a still picture and analyzing it. Moreover, as far as I was concerned, if I take the time to process the RAW, then in theory, there is never going to be a picture that I can take using the PP's that I could not replicate from the RAW. But when you look at all the adjustments available in the PP's it seems complete. That is to say, it appears that I might have every adjustment that a camera manufacturer has to work with when defining a "look". Since there are 10 PP's, I can set aside some for stills. It might be possible that I could "emulate" almost any camera's response and "look" within the range of the sensor's capability -- internally. If this adjustability is in all the Sony cameras that have the PP's, then these cameras are hugely more capable than most people realize, and so far, nobody has mentioned this in a review that I have seen anywhere. It's something to think about. . . .

Awesome review

Very good work, thanks.

Great review, thank you! I liked your extreme low light test. The exact situation may not reflect real life but testing it lets us know that when the lights go low, at a wedding or other event, which camera will perform and which one may fail to acquire focus. I liked that you showed the different color profiles. I found with the Canon RP that skin tones developed from RAW in DPP are MUCH better than Adobe ACR. Adobe looked like trash compared to DPP. I wonder how if it's the same with the R6 and DDP vs ACR?

Hi mathieu Gasquet How long does canon eos r6 battery life last Compare to canon eos r5 and also the Sony a7 Mark iii body

Thank you Matt, outstandingly thorough. If you were choosing between the A7RIII and the R6, what would your personal preference be? I'll be using it for both landscapes and fast children lol. Thanks again, sub'd.

Thank for the great video, what do you mean by “Canon shutter life is very short?” Do you mean Canon shutter will tear down sooner than Sony A7III shutter? I heard that Sony A7III has shutter failure issue. Look forward to hearing from you soon

Great review Mathieu thank you very much. I have a question for you if you can help me. Do you think that the sensor readout of the R6 using electronic shutter for photography is much slower than the R5? I am interested because I use silent mode for street photography and try to understand if I will get any distortions if I use the electronic shutter for it. I saw in some websites that the R5 scans the sensor quite fast (15ms or around 1/60 of a second I think). Thanks again, I love how you create standardized scores that we can use to compare cameras. Great work.

What do you think about the newborn session in the studio. Is it better Sony a7 III or Canon r6?

Waiting for your Eos R6 vs Sony A7 IV soon! Looking to see if the skin color of the Sony A7IV has improved. Thank you!

Superb review

Hi Mathieu, I like the beginning music and would like to listen for the whole piece. Would you please let me know what its name? Thank you.

I've had reflex cameras for years... About 4 years tired of my canon 80d's performance in low light, I decided to switch to full frame... the obvious choice seemed to be the sony alpha 7 III, for which I had to sell all my kit of canon lenses ... if only this canon r6 existed, I would have bought it. However I really appreciate my sony alpha 7iii, I think that even today the performance of its sensor is unmatched. However, canon has better ergonomics, and overall it remains a camera that makes you feel at home immediately...

Are You French Mathieu ? (je suis français et je reconnais un accent bien de chez nous^^). J'aimerais tellement que tu puisses tester / proposer des comparaisons avec le FUJI XT4, un APSC qui me fait de l'oeil. Même une comparaison avec des FF (Full Frame) serait intéressant :)

Amazing the a7iii is still competing

A three year old camera is still on a equal basis as a new canon... that's good news for Sony users because it shows that high level of the Sony system and I am in anticipation for the a7 IV which will be a worthy successor I am sure. But still the a7 III is a great buy for the money.

Wow, enormous comparison! Thanks for creating this!

i like how review the camera,. im a canon shooter,. i already wanted to jump ship to sony because canon can't catch up to the technology,. until r6 came out,. but im little hesitant because of the price,. a7iii is much cheaper while r6 is much more expensive,. but i don't really like sony ergonomics and menus, and their touch functions,. but in specs wise, budget wise,. my wallets says sony sony sony,. but my heart says canon canon canon,.. now im happy to stay in canon system,. probably i just need to wait a little longer for r6 to lessen it's price,.

thank you from Russia, Sochi! I bought R6, and my friend Sony A7iii, it was interesting to compare😃🎉

In the BIF autofocus comparison you were shooting A7 with 1.4x extender and R6 without. The extender always has slightly negative impact on the Autofocus speed and accuracy... Fuji X-T4 getting higher autofocus score than A7 III is a joke there are many people that has moved from X-T4 to A7 iii just for the autofocus improvement. Handicapping A7 III with an extender makes his autofocus score irrelevant in my opinion.

Very good...

R5 vs a7siii

This is exactly what I was waiting for ! I also like the slower pace, the side by side comparison , easy to understand, pleasant and relaxing ! Bravo !

Hello, thank you for review! I think that it is more interesting to compare Canon R6 with Sony A7C. Sony A7C has better autofocus, better skintones, than Sony A7 III. And it is more and more interesting to make a review with comparing Canon R6 with Panasoni S1 or S5. About Photografy and about videography. I will be very glad to see it) Also I would be happy to get to know your instagram, so I can write you a message)) Thank you!

Low-light performance good a73 R6 tell me

Canon....but that small 20 megapixel sensor....why.....why!

Sony 3 times cheaper and still better

👍🏾🙏🏾

heavy dose lol..good job

I’ve owned both, but decided to go with Sony because the GM lenses are SO much cheaper than the high end RF glass, which is ridiculously overpriced. And that new 35mm GM lens is insane!!! I also feel that Sony is just always going to be a step ahead of Canon in terms of innovation. The A7iv is gonna be a R6 killer!

The camera that can record more than 15 minutes, without bursting into flames.! Is the winner 🤣😂

I have EOS R6 and have to say that R6 definitely kicks A73's ass in every respect. What a shame, Sony fanboys.
