Just awesome
Update: All issues mentioned have been resolved with firmware updates.
I have nothing negative to say about this camera other than, once in a while the view finder gets a little jerky for a few seconds for some reason. I have not been able to determine the cause, but it isn't really annoying. Anyway...
I upgraded both of my original Rs to the R6 and I could not be happier. The eye autofocus is every bit as good as they say, it's fast, it's comfortable and the image quality is the best I have ever seen from any camera. Lots of people are hung up on the fact that it is only a 20MP sensor, but the color tones, sharpness and everything else about the images are absolutely jaw dropping straight out of the camera. I am reminded that it is the same sensor from the 1DX3 every time I shove a SD card into my computer. This has been saving me a ton of time editing photos. It almost feels like I'm cheating. I still edit, but not nearly to the level that I had to before. This is a big deal to me as I do photography full time for a living.
What else... the body is made form the exact same material that Canon uses for the RF lenses. If it's good enough for a $3000 lens, it's good enough for a $2500 body. I do wish the rear screen was a little bigger, but it works.
This is the camera I have been dreaming Canon would make and I am loving it. I am soooo glad they made this thing! I really didn't want to have to go to 45MP and pay for 8k that I will never use with the R5. I shoot stills, no video and for me, this is as perfect as it gets.

Solid camera
You probably know all about this camera if you're looking to drop this much. I make YouTube videos and mostly take photos for IG, so this is great (if not overkill) for me. I'm not doing much long format 4k stuff, so I haven't experienced any overheating issues so far. Focus is great, build is solid, does everything I want. Coming from an EOS R and RP, I couldn't ask for more.
Watching other reviews it seemed like the stabilization would be magical (for video) - and it's good, but I wasn't blown away.

Coming from an R to the R6 has been a game changer
I wanted to share my experiences coming directly from a Canon EOS R to the Canon EOS R6. First off, the R is a capable full-frame camera that takes fantastic shots. The EOS R6 not only takes fantastic shots it does so more consistently than the EOS R did for me. This is likely due largely to the improved Digic X processor in the R6 versus the Digic 8 in the R.
This camera just nails focus. Focusing specifically on a person’s eye is remarkably impressive. Just as an example of how absurdly accurate the eye autofocus is: When I first got the camera I was testing it in my bedroom. I have a collage that has photo of me and my daughters in the center of it on one side of my bedroom as I sat against the opposite wall. The picture of me and my daughters within the collage is likely only 4x3 inches large. Zoomed to 105mm focal length and panning across the wall with that collage coming into frame, it automatically tracked focus on the eye of my daughter who was in the foreground. This camera had caught focus on eye in a small picture within a collage across the room. Racking focus between subjects or different objects is also really fast, too.
Additionally impressive is the viewfinder. The smoother refresh rate option is something that I appreciate immensely. It just makes tracking the framing that much easier, especially with quick movements. And I was slightly concerned about going from a 3.2 inch LCD screen on the R to the 3 inch LCD on the back of the R6, but after making the switch and even briefly comparing the two together this worry became a non-issue.
The body is a nice improvement. The build quality seems relatively the same; however the button placement on the R6 seems largely more intuitive than on the R. Don’t get me started on the Touch Bar on the EOS R. I REALLY wanted to like it, trying time after time after time to make it useful in my workflow, but it just wasn’t useful and occasionally a hindrance because of accidental touches. Having that replaced with the standard joystick and the different positions of the buttons is a welcome change. Also, having the scroll wheel instead of the direction pad on the back is a lot more intuitive, especially for those who are accustom to that of the 5D mk IV and other cameras with the scroll wheel.
Having uncropped (nearly) 4K video on the R6 versus the 1.7x crop for 4K on the R is a welcome change, although this doesn’t affect me as much since I do mostly still photography. However, when using the camera a little bit for video, this has been an appreciated difference.
Another appreciated difference is the faster shutter speed of the R6. Being able to take 12 shots per second (with the mechanical shutter) AND while nailing focus saved me a lot of headache when I shot at an event in the evening last weekend. I just couldn’t do that with the R prior. Being able to do 20fps in electronic mode is a nice feature, however for my personal use, I am not sure this will be used all that much.
Speaking of the evening event, the low light capability of this camera is exceptional. Truly. At said night event, I was shooting at ISO 8000-12800 at certain times and the images just came out fantastic. I had previously tried shooting with the R in a low light situation at ISO 6000 and it just didn’t do nearly as well. Images sometimes came out blurry or excessively grainy OR blurry AND excessively grainy to the point of nearly being unusable images. That was not something that I worried about with the R6. I set ISO, set aperture, set shutter speed and shot. Nailed focus, and just only had to pay attention to getting the composition right.
Also, having IBIS (in body image stabilization) is really wonderful and just adds extra security knowing I will get sharp images taken. It also opens up the ability to have non-stabilized lenses without worry of out-of-focus images taken. Using this body with the new "Nifty 50" (RF 50mm f1.8 STM) which doesn't have IS has helped retain sharp images much more.
So it likely sounds like I am gushing over this camera. If it does, it is because I am. The R6 is an amazing camera. The price premium over the R is well worth it. I was originally concerned about going from 30MP to 20MP, but after using it for a little while, that worry has quickly dissipated.

A very serious photographic tool
I compared the R6 with the R at night. With the high ISO shot with the same setting on both, the R6 has a sharper and cleaner image. With the low ISO but long exposure, the R is slightly bit nicer. These were shot and compared on the back of the camera.
The back thumb wheel is handier on the R6 vs. the toggle on the R. The shutter is softer and quieter. I don't miss the top LED screen much on the R.
The R6 with the IBIS seemed to help out in longer exposure handheld.
AF is markedly better. Faster and more sensitive in dimmer light...etc.
The kit lens, in the beginning, seemed to be SO SLOW... In reality, it worked very well. It is lightweight (plastic), very sharp & stable. I don't shoot the brick wall, so linear distortion is not something I care too much about. I didn't have enough to bother me. The 67mm filter size makes a perfect pairing with the EF 70-300m IS lens (with the same filter size). When you want to shoot light, that is a good combo.
It is a new camera, and it seemed to be a bit pricier than other brands, but if you shoot Canon, I think it is a worthy mirrorless upgrade from the R and the DSLRs.
I wished it had a built-in flash; it would be even lighter when traveling.
Many people might consider R5 because it will give you "enough" pixels... But I have made canvas prints up to 30-40," and there are plenty of sharp details from the R6. That would be enough to satisfy my need.

Best camera I’ve owned in 45 years!
My love, the Canon 5D MIII which never took a bad picture was getting very heavy for me, so I researched the full frame mirrorless cameras to see if I could get something smaller, lighter, quieter and maybe the bonus of getting a one speed higher iso noise improvement . I already had a mirrorless, an older Sony Nex 5N that I loved, but it is aps-c and it’s hard to go back once you have full frame. So based on the silent electronic shutter, the fact that I can shoot only with the back screen and not have to hide behind a viewfinder, I can do 20 fps, I can use all my EF lenses with an adapter and it’s a smaller footprint, it’s THE perfect camera for me. I don’t care about shooting video with it because if you really want to do video you need a dedicated 4K camcorder which I have, so any issues with video on this camera don’t matter to me. The pictures are amazing at 12,800 and even 51,200 iso! Thank you Canon! I fear I may never touch my 5D MIII again!
PS only one tiny thing I have noticed: you need to turn ON the setting that forces the camera to focus even when focusing is impossible - sometimes in more dim lighting especially with the adapter, it acts dead and just doesn’t even try to focus. This is using the point spit focus mode. Not a big deal since you can fix it by turning this setting on.

Skeptical about mirrorless no more!
Long-time Canon DSLR user finally made the switch to mirrorless and now won't look back. Amazing piece of technology - focus system and low-light performance are astounding. Love that I can use my EF lenses with adapter and 24-105 f4 L "kit lens" is a worthy successor to its EF counterpart.
My biggest quandary, like many, was whether I needed the extra pixels of the R5. Coming from a 20 MP original Canon 6D I'm comfortable with this sensor size. For my uses hits the sweet spot between image quality and speed/disk space. For birds-in-flight I do miss the extra crop room, but have a hard time justifying the extra $1,500 just for that.

Amazing Camera!
What can I say that has already been written about the Canon R6. It is an amazing camera overall and a big step up from my Canon 80D. This is my first Canon Full Frame camera and I'm very glad to have finally made the switch. For me the 4K video is nice to have, but what I really want is a travel camera. I don't need the 45 megapixels on the R5 or the 8K video. Some of my best photos were shot on a Canon 20D. The 20 megapixels on the R6 is great for me an my workflow in Lightroom Classic and Photoshop. Now my problem is I want to buy more RF lens for the R6. I got the RF 24-70 F/2.8L and it is a fantastic lens. The low light capability is just stunning. Can't wait for COVID-19 to end and to travel the world again. I plan to have much fun with my Canon R6.

The closest thing I've experienced to a perfect event camera
I've been a Sony and a Nikon DSLR shooter in the past. I also shoot Fuji mirrorless. I never seriously considered Canon because while I love their glass, I was already heavily invested in another system. As mirrorless became more and more available, I figured it was a good time to reevaluate since most systems have new lens mounts anyway. I'm glad I tried the Canon. It's everything I've wanted in an event camera system. Not too many megapixels which presents a file size problem when shooting all day weddings and mitzvahs. Autofocus that nails the shot nearly every time. A full selection of high-end professional glass, and a growing selection of cheaper, lighter mid-low end lenses. The R5 may have received all the press (both good and bad), but the R6 is my workhorse camera of choice.

Question :
.Does this lens work without the adapter? An adapter doesn't seem to be included but yet I would think it would need one in the "kit" .
Answer :
If it is a RF lens, you don’t need a adapter.
If it is a ef lens then yes you will need a adapter for it to work
Question :
Has anyone tried using canon ef-s lenses with the mount adapter and what results did you have?
Answer :
Yes EF-S works on it. Putting an EF-S lens on means it’s no longer full frame though. It will automatically crop in 1.6x (from full frame, so it will still feel like the 35 you’re used to). Doable, but far from optimal performance of the EOS R’s sensor.

With the adapter, will my EF lenses have full-on autofocusing and image stabilization?
Answer :
Yes both AF and IS should work on your EF lenses that have those features while mounted to the Canon EOS R6 camera with a Canon adapter.
