Agree, B&W are a good option for those who like a very bright and overly detailed and unnatural sound.

That is an interesting possibility.

The camera shakes with the stabilizer off for hours and hours when it is in your bag while walking around or hiking (those two activities are good ideas).

Yes, that is the sensor rattling around inside the camera. It is not practical to have the camera powered on 100% of the time to prevent this; multiple times per week I go on multi-hour hikes.

Thanks for your comment, I agree it should have been dealt with during production. Perhaps it is a non-issue, perhaps in a few years the constant clanking around will cause problems with the sensor or cause the in body stabilization to fail. I hike too much with my camera to feel comfortable with the sensor rattling around for hours and hours multiple times per week while it is in my camera bag. I hope you are enjoying the R6, I returned mine and purchased an R8 a few months ago and am really loving everything about it besides the short battery life.

Thank you so much

That is the sensor rattling around in the camera, it is part of the in body image stabilization system. When the camera is powered on, electro magnets are energized and keep the sensor in place. When powered off, the sensor freely knocks back and forth inside the camera. There is no fixing or solution to this issue. This made me question the long term reliability of the camera and I returned it for a refund.

While turned off and in a camera bag, it shakes in a similar manner. The sensor knocking around inside the camera for hours and hours at a time while hiking or walking gives me doubts as to the long term reliability of the camera.

imo it launches too slow to be a rally cross car, but I could be wrong

This is how all Canon cameras behave that have in body image stabilization. When powered on, electromagnets hold the sensor in place, when powered off, the sensor just rattles around inside the camera. I do a lot of hiking and the thought of the camera being powered off with the sensor rattling around in my bag for hours at a time makes me question the long term reliability of the camera.

Cheap construction, low quality product, mediocre sound, severely overpriced. B&W speakers are not a good value, just a name brand.

Unfortunately, yes, this occurs with every Canon camera that has in body image stabilization.

I exchanged it for another R6 mkII which did the same thing so I returned if for refund then went with a 5D mk4.

@@flashhog01 did you have to pay a restocking fee? I have the same issue and wondering if I should go with the R5 instead. My other R5 doesnt do this.

It is unfortunate Canon decided to make cameras with loose components inside. I do not have confidence that camera would last more than a year or two without having to be repaired so I returned it; disappointed.

Why would Canon release a camera so fragile is cannot withstand a little shaking? I regularly hike with my camera and it shakes similarly in my bag for hours. The R6 mkII feels like a sub-par product.

@@flashhog01 It's not supposed to be shaken, so why would you do that?

@@lbeetech What? No supposed to be shaken? Cameras shake everywhere they are taken. It would be an amazing thing if Canon released a camera that people cannot walk around with. Again, the camera shakes in a similar manner when it is in your bag while walking or hiking, sometimes for hours. Are you aware of this fact?

@@flashhog01 Exactly, so why hold it up in the air and shake for no damned reason?

@@lbeetech For no reason? I purchased a new camera that has a loose component inside. To demonstrate the problem and see if anyone else had experienced it, I made a video. I am sorry this simple logic escaped you.

I’m sorry you had that experience. Fortunately Shady Rays has a great customer service department and return policy.

Thanks for the suggestion, I have a NAD 316 to try with it.

@@flashhog01 my NAD 7155 and Luxman r-113 really brings out the bass on these

@@flashhog01 How it sound with NAD C 316 bee v2? Thanks

Thanks, I’m excited!

I am glad to hear you got a pair with better quality control and are enjoying the sound. Thanks for the comment!

Sorry you feel that way. I've never encountered anyone who has said anything close to an experience like that, probably just hyperbole.

@@flashhog01 take a look around. Not well reviewed for the most part. Veiled mids. Muddy bass. Highs are adequate. $50 bucks value at best.

@@RealAndrewBlack Thank you for the advise. I have listened to many speakers and am familiar with what it is out there.
