Canon EOS R6 Mark II or Sony A7IV?? Which Would You Choose??

If you had to choose between the the Sony a7 IV or Canon EOS R6 Mark II, which one would you choose??
The Canon has a 24.2MP, 4K 60FPS capable sensor where as the Sony has a 33MP, 4K 60FPS Capable Sensor. Which would suit your needs better. Lowlight is going to be great on both and the AF tracking is very comparable.
Besides Sony having access to 3rd party lenses, are there more reasons to go with Sony over Canon??

[@Imboredas]

I chose Sony purely because of economical reasons. Firstly I love third party options like Sigma, Tamron and Samyang. Also, I almost always buy used cameras/lens and sell them afterwards, and Sony bodies tend to depreciate less over time (cuz sony is more rigid in dropping their price). To me, the value depreciation rate is more important than the face value price.

[@kenjiyamamoto423]

sony body depreciate more faster than canon camera bodies,. because sony releases so many camera bodies that the value of their camera body drops drastically so fast,.

[@Imboredas]

@@kenjiyamamoto423 oh forgot to mention that I bought previous gen bodies second-handed. They do depreciate fast when new generation comes out but after that, not so much!

I've been considering this for quite some time. And after watching many reviews, the R6 II is the way to go. Autofocus is faster and more responsive, super fast sensor readout speed almost stacked level and in general just better value for money in the Canon. I will be upgrading my Sony A7R III to this.

[@camerasolutionspdx]

Totally agree

[@pierre3077]

Yes if you don't care paying more than 2k€ for each 2.8 lens without any third party options. Don't buy a body if you don't know with lens you'll use from 16mm to 400mm.

I was visiting with some street photographers in the Philippines who make their living with their cameras at events and on weekends in public areas. They all were using ancient 6mp Canon and Nikon dslrs and these cameras were very well used condition but still working in all kinds of hot and humid salt air weather. I'm not sure if Sony cameras are that tough or long lasting but for me I would pick the Canon as I just seen the proof of how they are built like tanks.

i think if there's a rubber sleeve to fit onto the sony for ergonomics and they can match color science, it solves 98% of complaints. the sony menus if you actually go through and customize, is more customizable and once you set up can be faster than canon. i like both and am happy the 2 push each other, but just saying based on complaints

[@davidl6354]

Love my r6 mark ii

[@Justmakesomenoiz]

Have used Sony before both a7ii and the A7iii also when that came out. It's a good camera but there are a few things I dislike. The menus, the poor quality screen which I use alot. And that one needs a bigger grip beacuse it's to small for my taste. The good things is the lenses. There is a ton to choose from. But bought the r6 when it came out and man oh man what a camera. Didn't use rf glass beacuse it's ridiculously priced. So used an adapter and ef glass. Didn't really mind that though. And from what I've seen the r6ii is even a better camera with better focus modes and 24megapixels. If I had to choose today then the canon for sure. It's like owning a iPhone it's more refined and a superb camera.

My shooters over the years have been 600D, 60D, 6Dmii, and now R6mii. I gave it a minute of consideration to jump ship before buying my RF glass, but I still don’t regret staying canon. I don’t know, fomo is a real feeling but I’m happy with my setup right now.

[@camerasolutionspdx]

That's a very solid progression. I'm sure there is no reason to have any FOMO. The cameras are cosmetically different, but all pretty similar in terms of functionality. You're working with a solid setup. Plus, if you ever wanted to try other brands, you can always rent and learn about what each brand really does best.

Only real estate photographer or vlogger uses less than 20 4. Only sports or wildlife photographers uses over 200 5. 16-35 is for video 6. For real estate all you need is a prime 14 or 16-35 7. For events all you need is 24-70 or 24-105 8. Products shot all you need is 100 macro and 24-70 9. For wedding 70-200, 24-70 and a 50 1.2 Point is unless you shoot everything all the time you can’t use every lens. I shoot wedding, events, fashion, products, and video and only have a 50 1.2, 24-70, 16, and 24 1.4. I’ve own 10 other lenses and sold them because I never use them. Rent both Sony and canon then buy the one that’s the easiest and most fun to use. Currently I own an R5 and R6ii. I used to have a A73, A6400, GH5, A7S3.
