Canon EOS R6 II for PHOTOGRAPHY review vs A7 IV and S5 II

Hi I'm Gordon from camera labs and this Video is all about the photo quality and Features of the Canon EOS R6 Mark II a Full frame mirrorless camera with 24 Megapixels improved subject recognition Uncropped 4K video up to 60p and 40 Frames per second bursts I'll be making A separate video about the movie quality In the future and I'll link to it here When it's ready announced in November 2022 the EOS r62 arrives just over two Years after the original model and is Priced at about 2 500 or 2780 pounds for The body alone now these are initial Launch prices and the market has become Very competitive so do check the links Below for the latest pricing and Deals On both it and rival models here's the R62 on the left alongside arguably its Biggest rival the Sony a74 on the right Price wise the a74 has the benefit of Being launched a whole year earlier and That's allowed Sony to offer discounts And undercook Canon on price a little Although conversely the extra year has Allowed Canon to further refine its Autofocus system as I'll show you later In the review a new arrival is Panasonic's Lumix s52 seen here on the Right launched a couple of months after The r62 in January 23 but priced much Cheaper at around two thousand dollars Or pounds as you'll see the r62 does Outperform it in some regards but in

Others they're remarkably close and There are also some benefits to the s52 That might make it a better choice Overall for you now I've already fully Reviewed both the Sony a74 and Lumix s52 So if you want to find out everything That I know about either of those models Do check them out but for this Particular video I've got hold of both Rival models again in order to make a Bunch of direct comparisons against the R62 so if you're looking for a Full-frame hybrid camera you've come to The right place oh and since I'm not Going to delay you with a sponsored Segment in this video please do consider Giving it a like and my channel of Follow if you find anything that I do Here useful it really does help thanks a Lot okay so here's the original R6 on The left and the new Mark II version Which replaces it on the right and at First glance they do look pretty similar Sharing the same core design build Quality and weather sealing from the Front there's no longer an IR remote Sensor on the Mark II grip and from the Rear there's a mildly redesigned Multi-controller joystick so far so Similar but from the top there's a few More obvious tweaks first the old Power Dial on the left is now used to switch Between Stills and video select the R7 This means the main mode dial can now be

Used to select the exposure mode for Photo and video rather than delving into Menus for the latter secondly the power Control on the Mark II has been Relocated to a new collar switch around The upper thumb wheel and now includes a Position to also lock the wheel if Desired the Mark II mode dial now has Extra positions for an auto movie mode Effects and scene presets the latter Also Inc including a panorama option Inherited from the R7 the camera also Features Canon's latest multi-function Shoe sporting the additional pins to Work with more sophisticated accessories As well as traditional flash guns in Terms of composition the r62 shares the Same 3-inch 1.62 million dot screen as The R6 along with its side hinged flip Mechanism that can twist up and down Forward to face you or back on itself For protection the viewfinder is also The same as before so you're getting a 3.69 million dot OLED panel with 0.76 Times magnification that runs at 60 or 120 frames per second in these respects It's similar to the a74 and s52 also Inherited from the R6 a twin SD card Slots supporting UHS 2 speeds albeit not Embracing anything faster like CF Express again this is the same approach As the Lumix S5 II and that makes the Sony a74 the only one of the three to Sport anything faster in its case with a

Dual format top slot that can Alternatively accommodate CF Express Type A cards for quicker flushing of the Buffer after a burst these cards are Quite expensive though the ports are the Same as before so you get three and a Half mil microphone and headphone Jacks USBC and micro HDMI along with an E3 Type remote terminal Canon continues to Infuriate videographers with micro HDMI Versus the Sony a74 and Lumix s52 which Both support the much more robust Full-size HDMI ports the usb-c port can Be used for charging and operation with A compatible power delivery source and Since the r62 supports UVC you can also Use it as a standard webcam I Successfully charged and powered it with My MacBook Pro charger like most Canon Bodies the r62 also supports wired or Wireless tethering to a computer or Smartphone as standard a useful feature We often take for granted but one that's Not always broadly available on Rivals The battery on surprise definitely Remains the Same LP e6nh although Canon Now claims to squeeze slightly longer Life out of it with 580 shots under Super conditions with the screen or 320 With the viewfinder if you'd like longer The optional bgr10 grit accommodates two Batteries while also providing portrait Controls like all Canon EOS R bodies the R62 employs the RF mounts allowing it to

Use Canon's growing range of native RF Lenses as well as adapting older EF DSLR Models but as most of you know there's Currently no third-party RF lenses with Autofocus and no news of that situation Changing anytime soon in stark contrast Sigma's range of mirrorless lenses are Already available for both Sony and Panasonic mirrorless cameras while Sony Owners additionally enjoy models from Tamron and more besides access to Affordable third-party native lenses Often with Innovative focal ranges or Apertures is a key advantage that Panasonic and especially Sony owners Have over Canon and if you're buying any EOS R camera you'll need to factor in The price of Canon's own lenses into the Equation now don't get me wrong most of The RF lenses that I've tested are very Good but right now they are your only Choice in the native Mount leaving Adapted DSLR lenses as the only budget Option behind the mount is a new sensor Boosting the photo resolution from 20 to 24 megapixels while this only represents A mild upgrade and still falls short of The A7 Force 33 megapixels I do feel That it's become an easier figure to Sell than the original model especially To EOS R owners who understandably felt A little bit cheated losing 10 Megapixels when upgrading to a new body 24 megapixels or thereabouts has also

Become as standard across many cameras Including the Lumix s52 and it's Certainly sufficient for most uses I'll Show you how these three Rivals compare In pure resolving power in just a moment But first the image quality options you Can record raw in standard or compressed Formats both at the full 24 megapixels But the compressed version occupying Roughly two-thirds the file size while Still giving you the flexibility of Post-processing standard raw files Worked out around 30 megabytes each note The Sony a74 offers three different raw Compression options while the Lumix s52 Lags behind with only one meanwhile jpeg Shooters have the choice of four Resolutions 24 11 5.9 or 3.8 megapixels With all but the smallest available with Two different compression levels best Quality large fine jpegs measured around 9 megabytes each like the Sony a74 but Unlike the Lumix S5 II you can Alternatively set the camera to record 10 bit hip files rather than jpeg if Preferred under the aspect ratio menu You can choose three by two in full Frame or cropped formats the latter Applying the same 1.6 times field Reduction as Canon's aps-c models or use The full frame and cut to one to one Four by three or sixteen by nine the Lumix s52 takes a small lead here with a Pair of panoramic crops although the r62

Counters with natural panoramic mode Next to compare the technical resolution Of the EOS r62 Lumix s52 and Sony a74 I Photographed my standard resolution Chart using the same adapted Sigma 40mm 1.4 art lens on each body this is one of The sharpest lenses that I have and as An EF model is possible to adapt it to Multiple systems to place them on a Level Playing Field optically so here's The EOS r62 on the left the Lumix s52 in The middle both sharing the same 24 Megapixel resolution and the Sony a74 on The right with its 33 megapixels at First glance the Lumix s52 in the middle Looks the softest of the three but take A closer look and you'll notice some of Canon's Advantage here is down to Increase sharpening that said I'd say The r62 is definitely squeezing a tad More detail from its sensor but if you Compare the points where they both fail To resolve the converging lines it's Actually closer than it first appears Meanwhile the a74 is out resolving both Rivals as you'd expect although perhaps Not by quite as much as you'd assume We're really pixel peeping here to tell The difference but remember the s52 has A pixel shifting trick up its sleeve and Switching its single frame result in the Middle for one taken in its high Resolution mode shows it taking a clear Lead in potential resolving power once

Again this is a tripod based only mode That works best with completely static Subjects like this test chart but under The right conditions it does give the S52 a resolution advantage over its Rivals to compare noise levels I Photographed this bunch of flowers again With each of the three bodies fitted With the same adapted Sigma 40mm 1.4 art Lens I'm going to zoom in for a closer Look before running through the full Range of iso sensitivities now the Lumix S52 sensor employees dual native ISO now With manual as well as Auto switching For photo or video I shot in raw plus JPEG but since the s52 wasn't supported By Adobe at the time I made this review You're looking at jpegs out of camera in This comparison where you can compare The relative approaches that each camera Has for dealing with noise reduction and Detail some companies prefer a noise Averse approach where all the speckles Are smoothed out albeit at the cost of Smearing fine detail whereas others Prefer to leave some visible noise at Higher sensitivities to preserve detail There's no right or wrong approach here But let me know which is your preferred Camera of the three at high isos Personally I'd say all three are looking Pretty good up to 6400 ISO but any Higher and you'll steadily lose fine Details to noise and smearing I'd also

Say Panasonic's default approach may Leave the most visible noise here but Not to the detriment of retained details Just before moving on I wanted to make One more high resolution mode comparison With the S5 II so here is all three Cameras back at their base sensitivities Of 100 ISO before switching out the Single 24 megapixel frame from the s52 In the middle for its high resolution Version look closely and you'll see Finer detail in the petals and leaves in Particular I personally feel the high Resolution mode on the s52 which Combines 8 frames while subtly Shifting The sensor between each really does give It a resolution Advantage at least for Those who can shoot in Fairly controlled Environments it's a useful feature which So far Canon has neglected to implement On any camera that I've tested and if You want it on a Sony you'll need to Spend more on the a7r series and also Make that composite using software Afterwards moving on to dynamic range Here's a raw image I took a Brighton Pier with the r62 opened in Adobe camera Raw where you can see the sky is Completely blown out if you take a look At the histogram you'll see this Clipping on those highlights but if I Reduce the exposure slider those Peaks Gradually shift back into the histogram Revealing wispy clouds and color in the

Sky there's still some clipping on the Water's surface but if I slide the Exposure down even further some of that Is retrieved it will be hit not Miraculously so reducing the exposure Has of course now clipped my Shadows but A boost of the Shadow slider and a tweak On the highlights brings a balanced Overall result with far more tonal Detail than the original next for Stabilization with Canon now claiming The r62's sensorship Ibis system can Deliver up to eight stops of Compensation at least with selected Lenses including some with no Optical is Of their own to show it in practice During composition here's the view with The RF 24 to 105 f4l at 105 mil first With stabilization Switched Off where The view is visibly wobbly before Switching it on Via the lens and Enjoying a much steadier view note the Hand icon at the top with a plus symbol Indicating that it is both sensor Ibis And Optical is working together for an Enhanced result Inc Canon's World lenses With Optical is have a switch on their Barrels which engages or disables both Optical and sensor stabilization at the Same time there's no way to have one or The other here's a photo I took at 105 Mil using sensor and lens stabilization At 1 8 of a second the slowest I could Hand hold with a perfectly sharp result

Although the version at one quarter of a Second was also almost perfect I'll keep This version on the left and now on the Right to show you how a shutter of 1 8 Of a second looks for me without using Any stabilization where it's clearly Ruined by camera Shake in fact on the Day I needed a shutter speed of 125th of A second for a Sharp result without Stabilization and this in turn means the R62 and 24105 were giving me between Four and five stops of compensation now That is better than the three stops that I've experienced with the Sony a74 but Not as good as the six stops that I Enjoyed with the Lumix s52 next for Autofocus one of the highlights of the EOS R6 smart 2 with the Dual pixel System inheriting the Deep learning Algorithm of the esr3 and now adding Horses to the animal detection menu as Well as a vehicle recognition for Aircraft and trains Best of all though a new auto option Will try to detect the subject type for You saving you from manually switching Between people animals and vehicles Of course in the case of multiple Subject types in the same frame you can Still manually override but for General Use it could become your default option If it works let's find out first let's Have a look at some of the options in Terms of autofocus area the r62 offers

Spot single area two expanded areas Three flexible Zone options which can be Customized or the whole area where you Leave it up to the camera to decide okay So let's start with a single area test Using the RF 24 to 105 at 105 F4 where You can see it pulling Focus between the Two bottles almost instantly this is Incredibly quick although to be fair This lens is a fast focuser and there Are certainly some slower ones in the System but a great first result Nonetheless but single autofocus with a Single point in the middle is easy so Now here's the r62's human subject Recognition action with the full AF area Selected so this is the camera working Out where I am on the frame and I'm Using the RF 24 to 105 f4l at 50mm f 4. The camera spotted me immediately and Once the shutter was half pressed it Stayed locked on with a blue box Throughout the clip when my face is Visible the camera finds my nearest die And easily sticks with me in full Profile without skipping a beat but what Makes the r62 better or at least Cleverer than the a74 and s52 is that it Continues to recognize me as a human Subject when I turn or walk away Tracking my head at close range and Switching to my torso when more distant Unlike its Rivals it never once loses Subject recognition here let's try it

Again but this time indoors in much Dimmer conditions where you can see the Auto ISO now is up at around 2000 but as You can see still no problem for the r62 And RF 24 to 105 at 50mm F4 where the Combination stays locked on me Throughout whether I'm in profile turned Away or even on the other side of my Room so to see how the competition Compares I made a similar test with 50mm 1.8 lenses on the Canon EOS r62 on the Left and the Sony A7 before on the right Both flanking the Lumix s52 in the Middle notice how both the EOS r62 and A74 do a better job than the s52 as Staying locked onto my eye in full Profile but that the Canon is the only One of the three here that continues to Identify the back of my head or torso as A human subject in this test where my Face isn't visible Sony's latest AF System in the a7r 5 May roughly match Canon's r62 performance here but the Older a74 Falls roughly between it and The S5 too but the r62 isn't just Confident when it comes to tracking Humans here it is with animals selected In the subject menus where it maintains Eye detection on the dog throughout most Of this clip unlike Sony which separates Animal and bird in the a74 menus forcing You to choose between them Canon and Panasonic group them together for easier Deployment as I move around the pigeon

Though note how the r62 stumbles and Loses the eye for a bit albeit still Concentrating autofocus areas over the Body but wait I've not been completely Honest with you as this isn't with the R62 set to animal at all it's been using The new auto subject detection during This entire clip and while not 100 Perfect I'd say it's still doing a Pretty good job manually selecting Animal in the subject in the menus now Allows the r62 to narrow its algorithms To this type of subject and stay locked On the eye of the pigeon even under the Conditions when it's stumbled with the Auto option I was impressed with the Auto setting though so wondered how it Would react to a more extreme test so Here I'll point the r62 at people where It successfully identified the closest And tracked their face but now let's try A car and as you'll see it successfully Places a box over Vehicles driving Towards or away from me remember this is In Auto subject detection and that Neither the a74 or s52 even offer a Manual option for vehicles and back Against people Cyclists people again more cars will be Sadly no birds or other animals in this Clip but you've already seen in how well It dealt with that pigeon using auto Mode nearly a clip for me personally Auto subject detection is the Holy Grail

Of autofocus algorithms as well human Animal bird and vehicle detection may be Individually impressive I don't want to Have to always select between them in Day-to-day use ideally I'd like the Camera to figure that out unless I tell It otherwise and the r62 is the first to Do so successfully sure if you're Photographing portraits or events well Human events anyway I would manually Select people as the subject type as This will deliver quicker recognition And greater overall success rates Likewise if you're concentrating on safe Vehicles at a race or animals at a zoo Then do select them individually in the Menus but for General use the auto Setting works so well I simply left the R62 to its own devices and forgot all About it this for me is a major upgrade And the only thing that could make the R62s autofocus any better is if you Could actually use your eye to select Between multiple subjects on frame Something lest we forget Canon can Already do with higher end R3 I'm hoping The r3's tracking technology can be Reduced in size and price and make it Into all cannons going forward now let's See how it all works for action and Bursts as before the fastest burst speed With the mechanical shutter remains 12 Frames per second but this is still Faster than the a74 at 10 and almost

Double that of the S5 too at seven Frames per second when they're all using Mechanical shutters with continuous auto Focus in my formal test the r62 seemed Happy to keep shooting jpegs at 12 Frames per second for as long as I held The shutter down I got bored after 21.5 Seconds during which it captured 256 Large fan jpegs confirming that 12 Frames per second speed and with Continuous Servo AF as well set to Raw I Managed to capture 145 standard raw Files in 12 and a quarter seconds again Confirming 12 frames per second in this Instance the camera took roughly 10 Seconds fully clear the buffer Afterwards which is actually pretty Quick considering it's using SD memory Only here's a quick demo of the r62 Shooting out 12 frames per second using Its mechanical shutter where you can see How fully captured the falling Block in One frame and I've got lots to choose From during the splash if you'd like to Shoot faster bursts switch the r62 to Its electronic shutter mode where it can Now shoot at an impressive 40 frames per Second double that of its predecessor Not to mention faster than the 30 frames Per second of the s52 and especially the Somewhat modest 10 frames per second of The a74 when both of those cameras are Using their electronic shutters in my Formal test I managed to capture 136

Large fan jpegs in 3.4 seconds before The buffer filled confirming the 40 Frames per second top speed set standard Raw I manage 63 images in 1.65 seconds Before it filled again confirming 40 Frames per second in both cases it took Roughly 10 seconds to completely clear The buffer offer again pretty fast for An SD card system in comparison my Electronic burst on the Lumix s52 lasted Longer for up to 200 frames in jpeg or Raw but at a slightly slower speed of 30 Frames per second note Sony's a74 won't Go faster than 10 frames per second Regardless of shutter type and can Actually slow down to 8 or even 6 frames Per second if you're shooting certain Raw formats and if you're recording onto SD cards so here's that Splash test Again with the r62 only this time using Its 40 frames per second electronic Shutter where I now have four frames With the block falling and way more to Choose from the resulting Splash also Note the r62 electronic shutter supports Speeds up to 16 000 of a second versus Eight thousandth percent for the Mechanical shutter okay now let's see How it all works together for some basic Action shots starting with some Approaching bikes using Auto subject Detection the full auto focusing area And mechanical bursts of 12 frames per Second these were all taken with the RF

24 to 105 f4l at 105 F4 so not Particularly demanding but the Combination still works well here and Now for some birds and again the 24 to 105 isn't the best tool for this Particular job but I didn't have access To anything longer at the time of Testing I do hope to re-test the r62 With some longer telephotos but given Its predecessor was already excellent in This regard and the autofocus has Actually improved on the Mark II I'm Pretty confident it'll do well one Benefit of using a shorter focal length For testing recognition though was that The birds were very small on the frame But the r62 still managed to find their Eyes and follow them around indeed Shooting side by side against the Lumix S52 the Canon felt more confident at Identifying and tracking birds in Flight While also delivering much faster Mechanical shutter bursts the Sony a74 Was also very good at bird detection Albeit only recognizing eyes on Non-humans not heads and bodies on that Particular generation this is something That they've fixed on the a7r5 the r62 Also inherits the raw burst mode of the R7 this shoots at 30 frames per second But has a pre-shot option which keeps a Rolling buffer of the past half seconds Worth of shots as you keep the shutter Half pressed once you fully push it down

This earlier half second is then Committed to memory followed by a short Burst afterwards here's how it works in Action notice the bar on the left hand Side indicating my buffer partly filling With pre-shot frames as I keep the Shutter half pressed in anticipation I Then fully push the shutter down as the Block hit the water knowing I'd probably Miss the initial contact but also Knowing that I already had half a Second's worth of frames in the bag You'll see the buffer bar fill in a few Seconds before it turns red to indicate That it's now full and here's the view In playback starting with frame 16 of 142 which is the moment I push the Shutter down like normal bursts I can go Forwards but the clever part is also Being able to go backwards to the Moments be before I fully push down in The shutter where I have 16 frames of Action representing half a second here It lets me find the moment the splash Began or even when the block was still In the air before then letting you Extract whichever frames you want as a JPEG a hip or even a raw file the only Downside to this mode is Canon stores Them all in a single Hefty file which You'll also need to navigate and extract During playback on the camera but it's Clear how useful it could be for Capturing the moment say a bird takes

Flight or lands on a perch there is However the usual big caveat whenever You use the electronic shutter and that Is potential skewing Canon claims to Have improved the sensor readout on the R62 compared to the Mark 1 model but It's still visible if your subject is Moving quickly across the frame or when You're panning the camera quickly to Illustrate this here's a pan taken with The r62 at 70 mil using the mechanical Shutter where the tower and buildings Are vertically upright as you'd expect But now here's the same pan taken with The yellow electronic shutter where the Sensor readout speed has resulted in Some skewing with the Tower and the Buildings now leaning a little to the Side note the frame intervals are Smaller here due to the faster burst Speed but this doesn't affect the result To be fair these rolling shutter Artifacts are actually roughly similar To those that are measured on the Lumix S5 II and Sony a74 and all of them are a Mild improvement over my original R6 in These tests but equally all of them will Show some skewing if the camera or Subjet are in fast motion the only way To avoid or at least minimize rolling Shutter when shooting electronically is To have a sensor with faster readout Such as the Stacked sensors in models Like the Canon EOS R3 but currently

These are very expensive if you can't Stretch to a camera with a stack sensor Be aware of the limitations of Electronic shutters or simply use the Mechanical shutter instead and that's Why the r62 has an advantage over its Rivals as it has the fastest mechanical Shutter in its pair a group I should Have mentioned the top burst speeds of 12 frames per second with a mechanical Shutter and 40 frames per second with The electronic are only supported in the R62s h plus mode and that in turn is Dependent on the lens you're using plus You may need a decent amount of charge In your battery too all RF lenses today Are compatible as well as a selection of Adapted EF lenses typically the most Recent or updated versions if you're Interested there's a full list in the Supplemental information section at Cam.start.canon but I can't speak for Adapted third-party EF lenses so please Let me know in the comments if you've Tried any of them with the r62 now just Before wrapping up I wanted to mention Some other photographic features like Most Canon cameras there's a bulb timer As standard allowing you to easily dial In Long exposures without the need for a Cable release a handy feature lacking From both the a74 and s52 the r62 also Has an Interval Timer although won't go As far as to assemble them into a time

Lapse movie afterwards something about The Lumix S5 will do for you there's a Focus bracketing mode like the Lumix s52 But sadly lacking from this Sony a74 in Fact Sony has only just started adding This feature from the a7r5 but unlike The a7r 5 and s52 the r62 goes one step Further with Focus bracketing by Inheriting the depth composite option of The R3 and R7 which can stack those Images for you in camera so no mucking Around in software afterwards here's how It works in action where you can choose The size of the burst and the focus Increment between each frame as always You'll need to experiment with both in Order to grab enough frames to cover Your subject from the closest to the Furthest I found 80 frames with an Increment of 10 word 5 for my coin shot With the RF 100ml macro lens here once You start the process the r62 gradually Racks the lens Focus automatically on Each frame like the a7r5 Canon uses its Electronic shutter during Focus Bracketing where sensor readout won't be An issue but it does mean that neither Of those cameras can synchronize a flash At the same time now this will be a Limitation for some macro photographers Who do actually use a flash on each Frame in his peer group The Lumix s52 is The only model that I've tested which Can use its mechanical shutter during

Focus bracketing at least internal Focus Bracketing and that in turn allows the Use of a flash but the r62 can stack a Focus bracketed sequence in camera using Its depth composite feature and you're Looking at the result here in playback In contrast both Sony and Lumix users Will need to assemble their focus Bracketed sequences in software later Like Helicon Focus you can of course Also do this with the Canon burst if you Prefer more control over the process but The depth composite option is really Nice to have and if you're into multiple Exposure photography the r62 has you Covered with an option that can not only Combine two to nine frames but also lets You choose an existing image from your Card as the first in the sequence not All cameras allow this in fact neither The a74 or s52 offer multiple exposures At all which now brings me to my final Verdict where I'll share a selection of Sample images taken with the EOS r62 as Always if you'd like a closer look at Any of them head over to my r62 review Page at cameralabs.com the EOS R6 Mark II becomes one of the most powerful All-round cameras in its peer group it's Fair to say the original R6 was trumped In many respects by Sony's a74 but now With the R6 Mark II Canon's not only Caught up but overtaken Sony in a number Of key respects most notably the r62

Shoots much faster than the a74 while Avoiding its rarest raw caveats It Sports broader and more confident Subject recognition at least in my tests While its ability to film uncropped Oversampled 4K video up to 60p is a key Advantage and unlike the original R6 it Never overheated in my tests and also Supports longer recording times plus You're getting focused bracketing and Stacking in camera bold timers multiple Exposures and slightly better Stabilization than the Sony of all the Upgrades I think Auto subject detection Is arguably the most useful in Day-to-day use automatically figuring Out if you're pointing the camera people Birds animals or vehicles with a pretty High success rate in my tests it's a Fantastic setting for General use of Course it's not a completely one-sided Race Sony fights back with high Resolution files on the a74 and the Ability to use a huge array of Third-party lenses including models from Sigma and Tamron then there's the Lumix S52 which offers a pixel shift high-res Mode to boost detail on static subjects A wealth of video Centric features from Open gate recording to waveform monitors Third-party lens support from Sigma and A significant price saving over the Canon and Sony 2. indeed body price and Choice of native lenses are the two main

Issues facing the r62 at the time that I Made this review it was roughly similar In price to the a74 in North America and In terms of the body alone I personally Preferred it to the Sony plus if you're A wildlife or Sports photographer I felt The faster mechanical bursts pre-capture Option and more assured subject Detection made it worth spending the Extra of the s52 but in other markets It's quite a bit more expensive than its Rivals in the UK for example you're Looking at 2780 pounds for the r62 body at launch Versus 2400 for the a74 and just 2 000 For the s52 are indeed the newly Discounted original R6 and that makes The new version less of a slam dunk and Something you will have to weigh up Carefully and regardless where you buy Your camera everyone will need to Consider the thorny issue of native Third-party lens support something Currently unavailable for Eos R owners Sure you can still adapt to wealth of EF DSLR lenses but if you want native Models for the best experience you're Currently limited to Canon's own RF Series once again don't get me wrong There's some excellent performers in There but it's far from a complete range As yet and the better models are quite Expensive ultimately the r62 a74 and s52 Are all excellent cameras most of us

Would be delighted to own choosing one Of the other involves weighing up body Price lens availability and drilling Down to very specific features that you May or may not need if your budget will Stretch and you're happy to use Canon's Own lenses I can highly recommend the R62 as an all-rounder and especially so For anyone photographing sports or Wildlife but if you're more of a general Shooter or not wedded to Canon do Compare it closely to Rivals and that's It for another in-depth review and as Always bonus points if you got to the End without skipping I'd love to hear What you think of the canon r62 in the Comments and if you found any of this Video useful please do consider giving It a like and my channel will follow Which only leads me to try and sell you A camera Labs t-shirt I'll sold for a Cup of coffee or tempt you with my In-camera Photography book go on you Know you want it links for everything Including the latest r62 prices below Thanks for watching and I'll see you Next time bye
