I bought my first camera a 90D in 2022 and to be honest I have absolutely zero complaints. It does everything and more. I take pictures every day. Street, Portrait, Animals, Macro and it never disappoints. I cannot justify what some of my friends have paid for their cameras when we take pictures together and there is no significant difference except they need to have a spare battery with them.

It's been a year since I have the R6MII and I am more than happy about it. It's fast, low light performance is absolutely phenomenal, very fast it's versatile, I use it for my channel but also for street photography, I use it with four prime lenses (24, 35, 50 & 85). I wouldn't change this camera for anything, it's indeed brilliant. I never had any overheating issue, I started with the 80D for five years and the difference with the R6MII was just amazing. The only little negative would be in my opinion the view finder, so I use the screen most of the time but that point aside, the R6 is for me a beast and has helped me a lot to improve the way I shoot. I'm not planning to change it, it's my little baby. Budget wise it's still very affordable and the image quality is wow.

Very thorough and interesting comparison of the Canon R family. Thank you. One error I noticed was the statement that the R6 MkII has the same memory card slots as the R5 - a CF-express and an SD. It doesn't. It has two SD card slots, which is a significant difference. The CF-express is much more expensive, but also much faster. It's very important with all the bodies with SD only to use the fastest cards you can get, in order to get the most out of the camera's performance. Most of them have pretty small buffers. That, in combination with the often extremely fast burst rate means you won't get a very long burst. A fast SD card mitigates that somewhat. Also, as has been mentioned in other comments, your assurances that 24mp is plenty of resolution don't always hold water. As a wildlife photographer who shoots a lot of small birds, the resolution headroom of the R6 MkII is a concern for me. I also have an R7, which has both the crop sensor and much greater pixel density, so I have options. We also have the luxury of very good upscaling software, which also makes the only adequate (in my opinion) resolution of the 24mp sensor less of a factor.

Thanks for including the crop-sensor models. Since I do mostly birds and wildlife, I'm a huge fan of the Canon R7, since the extra reach matters. Despite its price, it is a pro camera, with 32 MP resolution, dual card slots, 8 stops of IBIS, and robust weather resistance. When the bird-eye tracking AF is combined with high quality L-glass (like the RF 100-500), it's hard to imagine a better birding set-up. My only real complaint is the slow sensor read-out, which makes for serious rolling shutter. But unlike the other crop-sensor models, it offers a 15 fps option with both the mechanical and electronic first curtain shutters, which eliminate the rolling shutter for still photography. I am also impressed by the RF 100-500, which lives on my R7 more than 95% of the time. Lighter than the EF lenses it replaced, the dual focus motors are fast and accurate, the OIS works exceptionally well with the R7 IBIS, and the image quality is spectacular. For those who prefer budget lenses, Canon also offers some affordable choices, like the F11 primes, the RF 100-400, and the nifty-fifty F\1.8 - all of which offer real value for money. I'm looking forward to the R7 Mark II :)

Decided to go for the R6 MK II couldn't be happier.❤️

It’s pretty cool you hammered the point that megapixels aren’t everything, but there are niche areas where mp count absolutely matter and you’ll know if they matter to you or not

[johnmantis]

I have the R50 with two lenses a 24-135mm and 50mm I’m very pleased with this combo because they give me all the benefits to take great photos of my family and the earthy beauty.🎉🎉🎉

[MrAndresMira]

I upgrade from a 80D to a R6, amazing value for the money on the second hand market... you can find very nice second bodys with bearly any use for amazing prices. Better buffer than R6 Mark II if you need to shot brust mode for long time periods.

I've always bought Canon, and since every major camera maker has models that are wonderfully suitable in a host of price ranges and use cases, I can stick with Canon and not be missing anything significant. I have SLRs and DSLRs, and my foray into mirrorless is the R50. It's walkabout sized, it will teach me whether I really need to go mirrorless, it will leave room for some RF lenses, and it will not blow my budget.

[MichaelMurray]

As a beginner I decided the R8 was going to be a great intro into photography that I could also grow with. Had it about a year now and still loving it.

[RogerBaumgarten]

I have the R5…incredible image quality, and my EF lenses work flawlessly with the EF-RF adapter.

[billvinson]

I have the EOS Ra for ASTROPHOTOGRAPHY. ❤ IT. Canon put out a warning that the EOS Ra doesn’t take good daytime photography because of the modified filter. It actually works fine. I do not see a red tinge for daylight shooting. Anyway you can always set a custom white balance.

[DeadGlassEyes]

Got my R when it first came out, it was their only mirrorless model. It's been quite a while now and I still love it. I mainly do architecture and landscapes and it's perfect for that.

[noel_s_visuals]

I'm using a R8 and a R6MKII.

When I go for a walk (field etc) to take some birdphotography, I take the R8 and the Sigma 150-600 (+x1, 4 conv) because the R8 is also fast and very lightweight.

For shooting people, I use the R6MKII (with a 28-70 F2 and a EF 85 1.2) because of 2 memory cards, long lasting battery and overall great performance.

Hi thanks for the vid. Just a couple of additional pieces of information I feel ought to be mentioned: The R100 doesn't have a touch screen additionall, the R100, the R50 and R8 don't have a fully mechanical shutter. They have 2 shutter options: electronic 1st curtain and fully electronic. This is ok, but the electronic shutters on these cameras suffer from rolling shutter which kind of makes panning shots (birds in flight, motor racing) virtually impossible in combination with the advertised high frame rates. I would advise to use the electronic 1st curtain option for most situations. Full disclosure: I have an R7 and I use electronic 1st curtain in most situations as the mechanical shutter makes a horrible noise and causes the sensor to vibrate at slow shutter speeds if IBIS is on. For budget friendly full frame options I would probably recommend either the Nikon Z5 or the Sony AIII.

Thank you for a very informative overview of the Canon line. At my age (67) I just want something simple & fun to use, and I don’t expect that I’ll do much “experimenting” with it. With my first grandchild on the scene, I know what my subject matter most often will be. You helped narrow down my choices to the R10 or the R50.

Just got the Refurbished EOS R100 RF-S18-45 IS STM + RF-S55-210 IS STM KIT for $299 on the Canon Black Friday sale. First camera as a beginner and looking forward to shooting family photos and videos! Can’t wait

[patflores]

I jumped to mirrorless from the 60D to the RP...which I think is still worth mentioning...

[oliveroppitz]

I have been comparing R100, R50, R10. One IMPORTANT difference for video recording is that these cameras have a limited maximum recording time for videos:
R100: 30 min
R50: 60min
R10: 120min
After that time the recording just stops. You can restart it though.
So if you want to record e.g. a longer conversation you should consider these limits. Details can be found the Canon website.

Eos R10 came into my life as my first my owned camera ❤ I have did cinematic paid work .. shirt films .. sports photography wildlife.. and so on I am fully satisfied with it ...❤❤❤❤ Just that it's a crop frame .. without ibis stabilization and sometimes struggles with low light...but overall I'm happy to have my ❤
