Congrats Paul and welcome to the club. I just updated too - new R3 2 weeks ago. Haven't had a chance to use it in anger yet. edit: I really do recommend that you go with back button AF. With regards to the DPAF points, if you are using older mark 1 super telephoto lenses, you get punished - you only get 80% AF point coverage and FPS is also slowed down (even on the R3). I think you have the mark 2 500mm f4, which offers full performance, so you'll be fine (other than performance hits due to battery level of course). The R6 II would have been a better option imho - reduced rolling shutter, no 30 minute video limit, reduced video recording overheating too. Better AF than the original R6.

Hi Paul, my experience echoes yours. I bought my R6 for photographing deer, badgers, foxes, where the silent shutter has made a huge difference for me - especially with deer, enabling me to continue to photograph behaviour, unobserved, instead of taking one frame and immediately alerting the animal to my presence. Totally agree with your other comments about only changing cameras when the functionality matters to you. My 1Dx and 1Diii still take beautiful photographs.
@kevins8575 Жыл бұрын
Best of luck with your new camera. I think you'll find it to be a revolutionary difference from DSLRs, even the 1D X. You should try out a couple of Canon Rf lenses; they're going to work better than adapted ef lenses, especially third-party ones. Try the 100-500. It's been fantastic for me. I took 3600 pictures with it the other day. Discarded out-of-focus and clipped wings and still had 2900 to sort through for content and composition. Game changing.

FV mode is really useful on the R6 and R7 to simplify adjusting settings with just the front dial and a rear dial or wheel while looking through the viewfinder. Also with my R6 and now the R7 and my Sony A7iv I have zone tracking with eye af enabled all the time on the front shutter button. It works so well that I use it most of the time with a fast shutter speed. I have my Af-on back button set to switch to single point AF and it also drops the shutter speed to 1/320th for stationary subjects or to grab a subject from a busy background. This hybrid front/back autofocus works great for me with both cameras and you don't have to disable autofocus on the front shutter button. The back button will override the front buttons AF settings if it is held down first.

When assigning your buttons I do suggest you give the DoF button on the front ago for your animal eye focus. With this set, and single point set up on the rear AF button, it's so quick and easy to switch between to two focus modes without barely moving a finger or hunting for the right button. Give it a go.

Last year I switched from a 7Dmk2 to the R6 . I have had to stick with my Sigma 150-600 because the RF150-500 is way out of my price range. I am aware of and have experienced the focusing issues with the sigma but I get a higher keeper rate with the R6. I'm not sure I miss the crop sensor extra reach as I think the R6 gives a better image even after cropping. Th electronic viewfinder is good as it shows the "exposed" image to you . I find 30fps a bit much for sports as you can end up with loads of shots identical. For casual portraits it's great as it helps your subject relax. You say it's not just about getting the gear. Your right. Your vids have reminded me it's about getting out there , using some fieldcraft and knowledge of your subject and enjoying yourself looking at stuff through a lens and camera

Thanks for this mate, I am aligning my planets and will be purchasing a R5 or 6 this year. Weight is very important for me as I have developed wrist issues over the last 20 years working with a variety of heavy DSLRS & large format video cameras. Noise is also very important to me as I shoot a lot of hummingbirds and they can be very sensitive to shutter noise. The ability to switch from stills to video is one of the most important factors. Changing focus point for video on the rear view screen is a problem on my 90D. It looks like the R6 solves that problem. So many great points in this video, Paul. Thanks

I've used back button focus for years it's much better once you get used to it but what I would suggest is swapping the buttons over so your animal eye focus is on the AF-ON button you'll find it easier to use spot focus then slide your thumb down to animal eye rather than pulling your thumb up amd back.

Good choice. Regarding back button AF. The mirror less camera's can have problems to get focus in certain situations, (even if the object is close and in the open) that is why it is important that you instantly can to switch between spot focus and Eye focus. Often you first have to use spot, and than try Eye focus. Or if the AF (spot or Eye) does not grab the object, I use spot to focus on a tree or the ground at the same distance as the object, and than switch back. With some practice you will get used to it and it works fast. Enjoy.

Nice one Paul, a good honest explanation on the switch. It's certainly a game changer in many ways but it does take the challenge out a bit, lol... I love the Mirrorless system but I still think the DSLR still has a place in 2023 and in the future, lets face it they don't take better images they just make it easier to get sharp shots more of the time. The silent shutter is the best bit about mirrorless especially for sensitive subjects, battery life especially in cold weather can be an issue as they drain pretty quick as I experienced in Scotland in -17 before Christmas.. Still to have the DX and the R6 is a great setup to have and I admire you sticking with the 1DX for so long it was one of my favourite cameras and I've had a few. Top stuff mate, look forward to seeing more. Cheers Rich
@CZOV Жыл бұрын
Good choice mate. R6 has its pros and cons as u will find out. I dont go out on a full day trip without 4 batteries. Canon's sales team cuts off frame rate from 12 fps (mech, H+) to i think 8 fps (H) at about 50% battery... 'to save energy' (or sell u more batteries), so you need to replace battery at half charge if u wanna keep up shooting 12 fps mechanical/EFCS. Why not 20fps? - rolling shutter for one, drop to 12bit colour depth (from 13bit mech. servo). Single shot AF mechanical gives you 14 bit color and we know u love single shot, but u will quickly fall inlove with the servo AF focus (it works even for chasing bugs crawling up the tree). Well, when u out of juice, electronic shutter will do too. Or a battery grip. Or both. Servo eats batteries like crazy, and so the EVF at 120hz. As for lenses, all EF glass work perfectly well if not better, not worth spending money on RF glass unless u want to reduce weight and get 1% IQ extra. Maybe 100-500 for a bit faster AF on the move, but taking time and testing everything before purchase is the prudent (and cheaper) way. On the BB AF, you can experiment with running both - front and back buttons, usually with standard AF points on the front and eye-detect on the back buttons (which have priority over the shutter button). U can also do the reverse, depends how your brain is wired. Don't be shy to share your struggles here, we have found a fix for most of them (except for the missing 'save settings to card' option which Canon don't wanna give to some clients, you need to spend less to get it). Btw, R6II has its + and -, like the mechanical shutter on Mark II is louder than Mark I.

I have the R7 and use 2 back buttons for auto focus. I think the two back button focus switches is getting to be pretty common. I have been using it since day one and love it. Not having to recompose to focus on your subject is a big advantage. Since you have some very good lenses I think you will be happy using the adapter. I don't know if you got the basic Canon adapter or the one with the control ring. I have the basic one and it works great but every now and then I wished I had the 3rd control wheel that the more expensive adapter would have given me. I was using the Sigma 150-600C and while it is a very good lens for the price I got tired of some of the focus issues and the long minimum focus distance and bought the RF100-500 out of the Canon Refurbished store. Once I started shooting wildlife with mirrorless I stopped using my DSLR for that. I think you will be happy with the R6.

The Canon R6 is great camera, but if you bought this for wildlife I would have bought the R7 and saved myself $500. Much more detail resolution with the 32MP crop sensor, equally as good autofocus, faster FPS, equally as good or better Video with no record limits and 7K downsampled 4K up to 30 fps. Put R7 on the RF 100-500mm f/4.5-7.1 L and you got 160-800mm combo that is deadly. Also with 32mp sensor you can still crop and get descent size image.

AF performance is good (certainly better than any of my prior cameras) but is NOT in the same league as the DPAF mirrorless cameras. Night and day. The 7D II sensor is also not great with DR and is easily trumped by modern FF mirrorless cameras in this aspect. It's a no brainer to update imho. DSLRs are well and truly dead.

It seems that YT Togs are imo feel pressured to have to be seen with the latest gear . It's obvious there is a Golf club mentality ... And the RF has very very few Affordable lenses compared with EF Especially 3rd party

I think there's some truth to that. For me it's a mixture of reasons including my channel being relevant to my viewers.

What becomes of your 1DX? Does it become a backup? or a museum piece?
@PaulMiguelPhotography Жыл бұрын
It become a door stop. Also I think it would be very handy to defend myself against an intruder. In all seriousness.. I still have it. I can't part with it. It's a good back up to have!

Well R6 isn't that great for video, is it. Doesn't have the "normal" autofocus. R10 and R7 are a massive upgrade in this regard

I'm finding it good for birds in flight. Still testing.

Why on earth aren’t you a fan of back button? I haven’t used shutter button focus in 20 years so seems odd to hear that
@PaulMiguelPhotography Жыл бұрын
I've made a couple of videos relating to it. I'll see how I feel with this camera.

If I have this problem I'll report. But I think it's mostly for heavy video use and 4K etc.

Honestly, I don't get why so many photographers use back button focus. I understand why it's a step forward with DSLRs. The main reason is because with BBF you can separate shutter and focus and it helps to re-compose. But these modern mirrorless cameras have so amazing af systems, they track subject, animal / bird / human eye, and you can keep focusing while re-composing. Now we want the camera to focus almost all the time. If I'd use BBF and re-compose without focusing, then I'd not use advantage of the technology that my camera has (and that I payed a lot for). The cases when I really don't want the camera to focus are so rare that i'ts not worth to change the settings. I'd solve it with a focus hold button, or switch off the AF on the lens. So In my opinion (and experience) back button focus is a step forward when you use a DSLR, but a step back when you use a mirrorles with good AF system. (and you don't need to have a flagship camrea for this).

I think you have some good points there. I've never enjoyed BBF, but I am trying it at the moment just to see - and also to help viewers.

Lens test would be to close compare EF to RF images. To my knowledge this compare shows that EF lenses on R's bodies are softer.

I used an EF600mm mk2 with an adapter on my R5. The lens is quicker to focus and still razor sharp. I've used the 600mm on 3 EF bodies and have compared side by side.
