Canon R6: ALMOST Perfect with One Major Flaw

The Canon R6 is the camera that I have really had my eye on since rumors came out about the R5 & the R6. The R6 is at a great price point for wedding photographers and hybrid shooters with a great feature set as well. BUT the Canon R6 has one MAJOR flaw for me as a hybrid shooter and that's what I wanted to talk about in this review / first impressions video.
Overall the Canon R6 is a great camera but for those who shoot as I do I cannot recommend it. Appreciate your time watching my review/first impressions of the Canon R6.

[@EYECONWRLD]

what lens do you use? i’m running A tamron on my R6 and i’m noticing frame twitches while recording. any idea how to fix it??

[@jasonsunly]

Hey, I have the R6 and you’re spot on with the biggest flaw, but for me i just don’t need to switch between video and photo that quickly so I don’t mind it too much, it’s just a hassle to adjust ISO and shutter speed every time I change frame rates. Also, I had the freezing issue as well, but I upgraded my SD card and no more freezing. I had the Lexar 1000x V60 card in it, but I guess it wasn’t fast enough to I upgraded to the 1667x and now it works flawlessly with no hiccups.

[@EricLouisYoung]

6:50 - NEVER apologize for canon swinging the cripple hammer. this just gives them permission to keep doing it.

[@vedranb87]

One potential slight "remedy" for the lack of dedicated "photo/video" switch like on 90D, is to use C3 custom photo profile as your photo mode, which is just one "click" away from the full-video mode, so that could quickly become muscle memory so you can switch modes without getting the camera off your eye.

[@rrife12]

I'm exactly like you. I shoot hybrid at weddings. Had an EOS R. Bought the R6. Canon needs a firmware fix for being able to make a custom setting for when you hit the video record button in photo mode. If they don't I'll have to dump it for an R5. I NEED that control over video when i hit that REC button in photo mode. When I use it as a video camera only with a Atamos Ninja V, its stellar. No overheating, no issues. I just need that flexibility of being able to change video settings when you hit that REC button in photo mode!

[@davidjorozco]

Interesting I will have to do some exploring then! Appreciate your input!

[@alansach8437]

Interesting. The problem I have with the custom mode dials is that I rarely shoot for long without changing something, usually exposure compensation or iso. Then, when I take a break from shooting everything returns to the custom setting when you wake up the camera. Frustrating.

[@WeddingPhotoNJ]

@@alansach8437 there should be a setting that allows your camera to remember even when you turn it off or it goes to sleep. My camera is set up this way so for sure it can be done.

[@digitalvizun5678]

Appreciate your honest real world review. I too find it frustrating that you can't just setup the record button like in the R. I hope they will add that feature to create video settings for the custom dials (C1-C3) in a firmware update (doubt it). I have heard that they will add C-Log3 and All-i in the November firmware update. The All-i may help with the overheating as the processor won't have to do as much compared to IPB trying to compress the file. I haven't had any overheating issues yet shooting in 4k 60fps for 3hrs in 78 degrees, I was mostly shooting short bursts and then put the camera to sleep (I used it like I did my R), but I'm sure I will at some point if I don't pay attention. I did have my R6 freeze up on me and had to remove the battery a few times, but I narrowed it down to a bad Lexar Pro USH-II V60 card as it did the same in my R. Great work and review.

[@davidjorozco]

Thank you my friend. That’s interesting, and I know I am hopeful as well but like you I really doubt it, not really Canon-like of them to do it but who knows. The ALL-I and CLOG 3 would definitely be a welcome addition for sure. The freezing thing is rather interesting, I was using a Sony Tough card that I’ve been using for a decent amount of time and a 128gb that I guess its possible that could have been the culprit. Definitely will need more testing. Appreciate your comment!

[@DanielWhiteWithCanon]

Full customization of the c1-c3 would be awesome but the clog 3 is really what I am looking forward to.

[@davidjorozco]

@@DanielWhiteWithCanon c log3 is going to be a welcome feature for sure. I am hoping some of these flaws are resolved via firmware which I think they definitely can be. And if they add more features like ALL-I and C Log3 it’s just going to make it more appealing.

[@andrewdoeshair]

When I was using an R and RP I had this same quick video complaint about my RP. I’ve got two R’s now and currently have an R5 in my possession (borrowed) and I was getting ready to buy an R6 after returning the R5 (45mp files suuuuuck and I don’t want to start getting CF express cards to use two slots) but I hadn’t even considered this video hiccup. I hate going into a menu with the R and R5 to change modes but I do appreciate having custom video settings because of those menus. No easy answer, I guess.

[@shaneomac151]

Lighting in this video is flawless 👌

[@makuaace]

That freezing would be scary AF on a wedding day for video, especially since it doesn't dual record. That's just asking for corrupt/lost files!

[@DanielWhiteWithCanon]

I think a lot of the problems with Freezes come from writing to two cards and sometimes bad cards. The only time I have experienced freezes is when writing to both cards. I think an upgrade in SD cards and future firmware should fix the problem though.

Damn babe you make me look good ;) But on a serious note, I think your video is so important for other hybrid photo/video shooters like us! Good notes that you bring up.

It seems like with some firmware polishing, the R6 has potential to undercut the A7SIII at 4K60. If your listening, Canon, fix the freezing and optimize the overheating, and then this camera might bring a lot more people to your EOS system. clog3 as a paid upgrade would also be nice.

Thanks for the heads up. 2 factors as a hybrid shooter stopped me from buying the R6 - 1 no video backup 2 - poor video/photo switch.

[@MARZILLI]

There might be a firmware fix coming in the future to change that auto mode when switching to video from photo... unfortunately with Canon you just never know - All I can say is videos like this helps Canon to update firmware, but I think like you said, “it’s a positioning thing...” The 120fps isn’t going to get better unfortunately... I just returned my R6 as it overheated on a narrative short film and then randomly shut down - that day was a nightmare... So I’m keeping all my Canon RF glass and my EOS R until the R5 Mark ii comes out..lol. My new cinema camera is the Sony a7siii - my first KZbin video is coming soon on that! Thanks man!

[@davidjorozco]

Wow man I’m sorry to here that. Sounds like worst case scenario, but the a7siii is definitely on my radar as well. For a period I shot A7iii’s & A7riii so I’m definitely interested. Either way congrats on the KZbin start my friend!!

[@JaymesMedia]

The 120fps may not look to great to you because the bitrate for that mode is only 120 MBS. The 1dx mii 120fps was well 200MBS plus.

[@davidjorozco]

Yep exactly what i was thinking as well. Appreciate the comment!

[@oiko2k4]

I don't think it's about the bitrate so much. I believe it is more about the method the image scales down to 1080p from the full sensor. It seems that the R6 does some frame skipping at 1080p and doesn't scale straight from the full sensor read out.

[@justchris245]

For me that is also the bigges Flaw of the R6. You can not save Video Settings to the custom buttons C1-C3. With the EOS R and R5 you can do that. So you can quickly press the video record button when you in Photo Mode and record Video with saved settings to C1. Overheating - when it overheat´s you can shoot 1080p 60fps that looks greate too. Most peopel will not see the difference between real 4k and upscaled 1080p.

[@ThegoldengodTrini]

I have control over my shutter ,aperture and iso in video. Did you set it up right first ?

[@theoell2049]

You can save your favorite video settings on C1-C3 modes and have photography settings also stimulately on exact save mode

Wow! I'm not really a full frame guy, but when I did BTS work on a short film with a rented EOS R, that was one of the best things I liked about it. I was the only person dedicated for BTS and as such I was constantly moving between stills and video. I'm surprised the R6 functions differently for that.

I haven't bought an R6 yet but I am about to pull the trigger just gotta save a few more bucks. that said I read in the comments of another review video that one way to shorten the time switching between video mode to photo is to "Assign your manual photo settings to the custom function with auto update enabled. Then, on the dial you only have to turn one click to get to video, and one click back to manual mode (under the custom function)."

Larger MP camera's are nice for having the capability to crop in, level out, etc. I like to shoot landscapes and then crop them down to an 16:9 look.

[@alansach8437]

A good example of "needing" more megapixels. So you can more readily crop in. For me, the smaller files are a plus 98% of the time. Of course, you can shoot smaller files with the R5, but I think most of us would be tempted to just shoot 45 mp, "just in case", which could fill a lot of hard drives fast! The largest print I normally make is 20x30, and I've been making beautiful prints in that size with 12 and 16 mp cameras for years ( some of which hang in galleries), so 20 is plenty for me. I also wouldn't hesitate making a larger print using Topaz Gigapixel should the occasion arise. A real game changer for those of us who only occasionally make huge prints.

As far as for a video only shooter I would say it’s worth it for the 4k60 because it’s soo good.

[@michaelnewmanphotography]

Oh man, this is the video I needed. I'm wanting to shoot hybrid weddings (photo/video). Wondering now if I should get the Canon R as my sole video camera now.

[@davidjorozco]

Hi Michael! The R is a great camera that I still use today. For weddings you have to think about it from a system standpoint meaning not just about one individual camera but having at least a main camera and a backup. What the rest of your “system” looks like will influence which camera you should get. I have used the EOS R for weddings for a while now and love it. You just have to know that you will only have one card slot and be comfortable with that. (Could also record externally to an Atomos for video). Either way both of these camera are great but until this feature is updated I will continue using my R or purchase an R5.

[@michaelnewmanphotography]

@@davidjorozco thanks so much! I'm upgrading from a 5D Mark III so the R6 feels pretty significant. I may end up with a sony a7s III at some point for video, we will see. Or maybe the Funi XT4 for that 240fps sweetness.

[@donmooney7159]

Either one or the other. Found that out last night!

[@creativegreats6924]

The rolling shutter was horrible on the eosr how is it on the R6 ? Also I'm sure your aware the R6 is warmer than the r5 would the warmer image of the r6 be better on darker skin tones ?

[@markshirley01]

This is so frustrating. I shoot Nikon and the photo/video switch is convenient, but I wanted to get a R6 until I realised this drawback. Lets hope Canon fix this in the future.

[@DTUFINOPhotography]

The warm colors i get from my R6 vs the Canon R is crazy.... i find the EOS R files better to handle than the R6, when i shoot with the R6 i get super annoted when editing the raw files... Skind tones look off and yellow or orangy. The R has better image quality.

[@davidjorozco]

They are a bit different however I actually find the colors more pleasing on the R6. Couple things can play into this: the camera profile that you are using can exacerbate the colors or neutralize them. I prefer the neutral profile. If you still are getting unpleasant RAW files, you can fix this one of two ways. Design a preset in LR that will "cool" your images down if you find them too warm. The second would be to use the in-camera White Balance correction where you can adjust the white balance behavior. Again this is totally preference but with RAW files is easily fixable, hope this helps!

[@shotbyjmac211]

theres a setting you can change so youll be able to control shutter,iso, and aperture independently. must be in video mode manuel to adjust the setting.

[@davidjorozco]

If you have any info on that setting please share it. I had looked throughout the entire menu multiple times. You can switch between auto and manual video mode in dedicated video mode (when the mode dial points to the video icon) but when it’s in “photo mode” I wasn’t able to find an option for this.

[@shotbyjmac211]

@@davidjorozco put camera in movie mode . And in menu go to shooting mode and Manuel exposure this will allow you to control shutter, aperture, and iso independently

[@getmarked]

Thats why I have my primary photo mode on C3 which is just next to Movie mode so I can switch instantly. However.. I found it really annoying that we cant program Movie settings to Custom 1-3.. Another flaw is that we cant use 120fps in Crop mode.. I dont understand!!

[@davidjorozco]

I’ve had a couple of people say this as well. The whole taking away functionality from the R to help segment the market is just dumb to me. The specs will do that for them. I guess the old Canon is still there.

[@DanielWhiteWithCanon]

I have had the camera freeze up on my as well during weddings. It seems to only happen on my Canon R6 when I am writing to both cards and under heavy use. But yea I realy do wish they would have made it easier to use as a hybrid shooter for video and photo work together.

[@davidjorozco]

I have had a few people mention to me about a bad card so for reference I was using a Sony touch card I have never had problems with and a San disk 128gb that I’ve also not had problems with. I did however have photos writing to both cards. And I know if only hoping firmware will fix this! Appreciate the comment!

[@justmattgray]

I did hear about the cards being the issue but unsure on what brands don't have this issue.

[@DanielWhiteWithCanon]

@@justmattgray Only card that works flawlessly as far as my experance and the web as a collective is that Sony Tough is the only one without flaws.

[@DanielWhiteWithCanon]

@@davidjorozco At least the issues aren't as bad as the EOS R release.

[@chazdillon2909]

Is it like the R where you’re record button takes the settings from c1 or whatever and maybe that’s why you’re getting auto when pushing record in photo mode?

[@davidjorozco]

Unfortunately it’s not. They had that function in the R and removed it in the R6 for some reason. Instead of taking you to a custom setting it takes you to a movie mode that can’t determine, that is completely auto.

[@Soul_Visuals_Photography]

agreed they need to figure a way to get to recording like the R. however i do find using the mode dial fast enough for me. sucks it froze up on you. im yet to experiance that. this october has been muy busiest as i been doing shoots with video every weekend all weekend long. hope to see canon coming out with a major firmware update. great video man. subd for sure.

[@davidjorozco]

Appreciate it man! Yeah I’m hearing mixed things about the freezing issue. Either they need a firmware update for sure. Just minor fixes and I think it will be an even better camera then it already is!

[@MsRobstar]

Man that’s crazy that you had those issues!!! I have seen other KZbinrs who do the same thing you are and have had no problems! I have seen folks solve the video switching by assigning a button to a custom video mode. Now I’m so confused about what to get!!! LOL!!!

[@kennethhart4859]

Hi David very informative video. I went from Canon to Sony. I kept my Canon Glass, I bought a Canon Eos r and sold it to a friend. I enjoyed it the few times I used it. Would you recommend the Eos r or the Eos r6. I’m mostly a photographer, slowly learning video. Thanks in advance.

[@davidjorozco]

Hi Kenneth! I would give the R6 a try especially as a photographer it’s a great camera and will definitely give you room to grow into for video as well.

[@NikosPer]

Hey David, did they fixed this with any firmware update? tia

[@SimpleSandalsMedia]

Thank you very much for pointing out the flaws. I appreciate this honest review.

[@davidjorozco]

Appreciate you watching my friend!

[@SimpleSandalsMedia]

@@davidjorozco yup! I love honesty and that's why it is one of the reasons I subscribed to your channel a while ago.

[@davidjorozco]

That means a lot 🙏

[@santhoshsandy5298]

Am in budget. So can i go with sony a73?

[@hom296]

David, you were talking about how many meg's for certain sizes...I have made many 30x60 metal prints off my 5Diii with no problems. That's a 22 meg file. I'm thinking that the new technology of the R6 would create a similar file.

[@davidjorozco]

Hi! That was my point. People have brought up “well it’s only 20mp though” as if that was a problem. 20mp is more than enough for just about everyone’s use case given good technique.

[@hom296]

@@davidjorozco -- Also with the new noise reduction technology that's coming that is amazing...that might come in handy if necessary!

[@Sanddesert]

Thanks for sharing. It is sad that a brand that has always been known for reliability has dropped that standard to rush new products on the market before they are fully ready for it. Let us know if the freezing problem gets fixed in a firmware update.

[@davidjorozco]

Will do! Appreciate you watching!

[@clairewright4586]

should i get the R or R6? I liked how to set up the video on the R can you not to it on the R6? Im a photographer and I dont want it to freeze up. If I want to do photo and video do you think eos R for now would be find then get the R6 later after they get all the firmware updated and fix hopefully the over heating?

[@_JRJ]

you shoot photos and video at a wedding? a wedding? mad man

[@angelllacuna8889]

what does it mean to record in C log ? Is it a feature available out-of-the-box on the camera ?

[@davidjorozco]

Hi Angel! C log is like a color profile you can record video in that is extremely “flat” in terms of contrast and color for the purpose of preserving the most dynamic range in a scene. It requires that you “correct” the footage in post production to get a usable image, but if used properly it will give you the most out of your cameras dynamic range. It is a feature that the Canon EOS R, R6, & R5 have out of the box. Hope this helps!

[@Suroky232]

Great review! this is exactly the information i was after, regarding hybrid shooters jumping from still to video instantly and not having custom viceo modes! I do not understand the logic by Canon to leave this out and having to go through all the options every time and miss the shot!

[@davidjorozco]

I know it’s frustrating. Especially for them to do it just so they could drive sales of the R5. Appreciate you watching!

[@sexysilversurfer]

The reality is that not many photogs want 40plus MP of the R5 so Canon has to force people to buy it.

[@davidlarosa5374]

David I have the eos r and I've had it freeze on me several times. I found that pressing the set button fixes it. You might want to try that next time yours freezes.

[@davidjorozco]

Appreciate it! I have had a few people mention that to me now along with memory cards potentially being the culprit. Will definitely try it out!

[@ayayoutuber]

which camera allow 1 mode do it all video and photo? not even my cellphone.

[@mypreviewvideos]

Does the 1080 in general lack detail? I feel like for the last decade Canon has never been able to make 1080 video actually look like 1080. The detail is terrible compared to every other camera....I figured they would have figured that out by now? You mentioned the 120fps in 1080 quality was not good, so I'm wondering is that a characteristic of all 1080 video in this camera?

[@davidjorozco]

The 1080/120 was the only quality/frame rate combo I wasn’t happy with. Honestly I am very fond of Canon’s 1080 @ both 24 & 60. High bit rates on the EOS R, R6, & R5 make it more than enough for KZbin, Instagram, & wedding work in my opinion. Relative to 4k60 & 4k120 it isn’t as good but it shouldn’t be. Full confidence for me in their 1080’s.

[@gmartinezcabrera]

Can you explain how you do the photo/video switch on the R. I do the same work but I’m not sure how you did the switching?

[@davidjorozco]

Yep it’s explained in the video! From a manual phot taking mode I simply press the record button which starts recording in a custom movie setting, I have this set to 1080/60. Record my clip then when I’m done hit the record button again to stop and I’m back to shooting photos.
