p.1 #2 · Canon R6 seems to be geared towards a Wedding Photographer?
The R6 is indeed looking mighty good for low light event photography and anything else where speed takes priority over resolution. It's gotten overshadowed by the R5 lately, but I personally think its the more compelling camera given the respective price points.

I had been thinking of switching to Canon from Nikon for a while, and the R6 is perfectly placed for me. 20MP is enough, and as long as I get f1.2 or 1.4 lenses with solid AF in dark receptions, decent noise at ISO 12,800, and good performance with the silent shutter, that's all I'll need.

It looks insane, definitely a great camera that will bring canon some glory back after the slow release of a mediocre 5D4. I'm pretty well invested in Sony now and don't really see anything that I HAVE to have with the R series, although I am willing to bet I'll own one at some point. The glass looks insane, but insanely expensive. That 28-70F2 is a dream and if the 85 1.2 actually hits focus more than 1 in 5 shots unlike it's predecessor, it would be a home run. I'd like to own that one, but I am really loving the Zeiss Glass with the Sony stuff right now, its some of the nicest gear I have ever owned and used.

I absolutely agree! The R5 is garnering the vast majority of attention, but it's a videographer's camera first and NOT a photographer's camera first. The tech that the R6 contains, equal to the R5, is amazing. I'm trying VERY hard to wait for full, unbiased reviews, before deciding...I'm slowly failing. I can feel it!

what is the 12800 iso for?
Options. I am extremely comfortable with off-camera lighting, but at times I really enjoy shooting certain parts of a wedding without a flash. It depends on the vibe of the wedding, the lighting, the dj setup, the couple, etc. It's just another creative tool I would enjoy taking advantage of at the weddings I shoot.

I would be surprised if any wedding photographer came (or left) Canon for either the R5 or R6. Both appear to be competitive but aren't revolutionary (brand-switchers) on the photography side.
That said, we do have an R6 on order and are cautiously optimistic. The specs are too good for an existing Canon shooter. 20mp? I have a few 6-foot canvases on the wall that were shot on a 7DII (also 20mp) so I know you do a lot with that resolution.
I do love the RF50 1.2 and that new 85 macro is right out of a dream book. Hope it's sharp.

just what would be revolutionary at this point in time?
not sure i would agree with you.....
sony for video... to a point.
only small size factor.
I don't see any video ... or still images with the heading.... only on a sony or only possible with a nikon.
these are all just tools to get the job done.
or to let the creative juices flow....

without picking up an R5 or R6 ... yes... worthy to switch.
especially for the shooting experience.
canon colors..... right out of the camera.
and canon glass.... 28-70f2 anyone?
R5/R6 revolutionary..... no. more like canon finally got their proverbial s*** together and did not cripple camera bodies.
These are bodies with all the bells and whistles. allows a great deal of latitude for a creative user.
and since i live from iso800 to 3200... the entire dynamic range thing it not a thing.
yes.. i shoot some weddings at iso 100. i know the advantage to the sony sensor there.
good stuff.
but that is about it for me.
I don't care for the codec on sony. blackmagic PCC 6K. that is a kicking camera.... but no real AF to speak of. but the codec is sweet.
just my 2 cents.
will sell off the 5div's. maybe get rid of the eos R for a R5/R6 combo.
maybe keep the EOS R for a backup.
for me... i want to see the responsiveness.
I actually think 30meg sensor is perfect for a wedding shooter.

no... don't agree.
what you are seeing is canon finally getting their act together and providing a strong video side to go along with a strong stills side.
so add bells and whistles, basically what canon shooters have been asking for.... into a mirrorless package....
and look..... surprise - surprise......
bodies with 120 FPS and NOT at 720P ... amazing....
no crop factor ...... amazing
canon will find out it will not cripple their cinema line.... nope. you have shooters get used to the canon style and if they move up.... they will look to big brother canon stuff.... or the red stuff.
