If there's one thing I've learned on FM these last couple of months is that it's REALLY difficult (read: impossible) for some of the Sony users here to accept that Canon has made 2 super nice stills shooting cameras.
The criticism is hilarious at times.
Now that I've also had the chance to try an R6 I agree with Jman. The AF really is better than that of the A7R IV and I also feel it's not that far from my A9.
BTW: I ask myself when Sony is finally going to put some decent LCD screens on their cameras? They always look horribly cheap compared to the one on the Canons.
I think the Sony guys generally have been pretty fair about the Canon R5/R6 cameras. Much more that some other brand gear forums. Some of the best and most frequent contributors to the Sony forums are posting in this thread. The Sony shooters seem pretty confident in their system and are not threatened by advances in other brands. Most seem to think that the new Canons are excellent cameras. A number have decided to add or switch to the Canon cameras. I don't see other Sony shooters getting upset at this, or suggesting they should no longer post in the Sony forum.
The Canons seem to me to be on par with the Sonys in some areas, leading in some, and a little behind in others. That is a great thing. That will push Sony into producing even better cameras in the future. We should all be happy there are more choices. Also that our fellow FM members are able to buy a camera that suits them best. Which brand of camera they settle on should not matter, opr be a point to criticize. We are a community that shares a common interest.
