to crack for the long-awaited Canon EOS R5 or the surprising EOS R6?

The Canon EOS R6 hybrid: dream performance…

Finally, these are no less than two new hybrid cameras that Canon unveiled on Thursday! With its new EOS R5 and EOS R6, the Nippon further enriches this range of mirrorless cameras, which are distinguished by their electronic viewfinder, inherited from cameras…

It must be said that more and more amateurs use these boxes to film, even if their ergonomics are not necessarily intended for this use … I know something about it for having used semi-professional cameras for a while: a other world … Anyway, Canon communicates extensively and perhaps above all else on this kind of specifications …

EOS R5 and EOS R6 subtle differences…

For example, it presents its last EOS R5 equipped with a 45 million pixel sensor as the first hybrid capable of filming in 8k at 30 frames per second, while specifying that its last flagship is capable of producing sequences at 120 frames per second in 4K!

As for the EOS R6, which has only a 20-megapixel CMOS sensor, but beware, capable of handling ISO 102,400, or double that of the R5. Obviously, on the video side, not 8K, but 4K at 60 frames per second or Full HD at twice the frequency… the two devices benefit from stabilization that seems masterful and autofocus capable of following the gaze of animals, like at Sony.

Specifications of pros! What’s the point?

Indeed, we can wonder, especially with regard to the 8K, which then requires an adapted production chain … We may also have the opportunity to come back to this kind of questions during the MacBook test Pro 2020 inflated with 32GB of RAM and its integrated Iris Plus graphics card coupled to a tenth generation Core i7…

In the meantime, there remains the question of the price of these two models capable of taking 20 frames per second. While the EOS R5 will be offered at the end of July for 4479 Swiss francs or 4499 euros list price, it will be necessary to pay 2689 francs or 2699 euros for the R6 version, more sensitive in low light and with more reasonable files… therefore it should not be oriented towards this model, provided that its electronic viewfinder suits you …
