Instead of me telling you the 90D and R6 are the best cameras in the world and you should go buy either of them, lets talk about some of their weaknesses you should know about before buy.

No water. Pure quality. Michael's content is a gem in the sea of empty shells.

Thank you for showing the pros and cons. No matter how hard they are to hear they are important parameters when deciding to spend a lot of money on gear.

I just got the r6 and after watching ur video weeks ago, I can say that the r6 is by far better than any dslr I've used in the past. The eye auto focus/lock on tracking and customizable back focus buttons make the r6 so easy to use and I rarely miss a shot now! I shoot a ton of indoor sports photography and they evf makes a world of difference. Also I've been using the tamron 70-200 2.8 and tamron 28-75 2.8 incase anyone was wondering. Btw the low light capability is unbelievable! If anyone shoots any low light/indoor photography, and your wanting to upgrade, just go with the r6. You won't regret it. I haven't touched the r5 so I can't vouch for it but I'm guessing the r6 does a little better in low light bc it has lower mp. Also I've cropped in on some of my low light pictures and it still looks great. 20 mp is plenty unless your blowing up past 20x30! Also, I'm not sure what version you used on the video side, but I used 30 mins of 4k 30 in 85 degree weather last and it didn't over heat once and it looked great. There is a 30 min cut off bc of the software tho. I just thought I would give an update on the r6 for people who is on the fence about the r6. This was my 1st mirrorless camera and I don't see ever going back to dslr. Thanks for the video btw.

Spot on review, I’ve found that you have to work to get the 90D to get the results you want. However this is an excellent way to improve your photography. Funnily enough I’m looking for a second body and the R6 is foremost in my sights. This is interesting as there will be no 1st & 2nd body, each has its advantages and I believe will compliment each other perfectly.

Coming from an 80D, I was torn between these two. I was convinced a full frame would bring me closer to the sharp quality travel, wildlife, nature, and portrait photos I was hoping for from my 80, but the 90 has many improvements over the 80. But the 90 is another cropped sensor. I’m just torn. Thanks for this video. You’re a great teacher. Subscribed.

ANOTHER BRILLIANT piece of educational information... As a 90D owner, my experiences have been great because of THIS channel. (and I am considering the R6 for a first mirrorless)

[Marc-rnr]

The most technical channel on YouTube about cameras.

[scottysmediaproductions]

I have both of these now after upgrading to the R6. The 90D once you change a few of the settings is great for sports photography. I'm excited to try the R6. Great video btw. :)

Very important note: Every lens will resolve equally well or better on the 90D than on the older cameras! But not every lens will be able to make full use of the sensor’s potential, which means that the images may look softer on the 90D if you pixel peep. But that is only because you enlarge the image more than you’ll be able to do on the older cameras. So even if the 90D picture looks softer when you pixel peep, it will not look softer if printed to the same size.

[nhattannguyen]

Very informative video as always! I'm planning to use the sigma 18-35 art on the 90d. Is that lens good enough for the resolution of the 90d?

[sols]

No question the Tamron newest generation lenses will work fine. How can 20mp not be enough. Pros have been using way less for the last 15 years.

[AFVeteran]

You do a great job Michael! Thanks for all your videos!

I've used the 90D since it came out, and I recently decided to give a Lumix a try (G95). The thing that drives me crazy is the cropping. I got used to the crop of an APS-C, but I wasn't prepared for the even bigger crop of the MFT.

[gman]

I’ve been watching a lot of reviews and everyone who talks about the 90D seems to like it even if they talk a lot about it’s negatives they seem to shrug them off and just admit they just like it more than the flaws might suggest they should. I’m sold

[notmax]

I currently have a canon 90d that I love. Although I am considering switching to a r6 with an adaptor.

[mobelue]

Been shooting wildlife on the 90d with the 100-400mm ii Canon, never microadjusted. Used an older 50-250 canon ef-s and the pics were fine. Not as good as newer lenses like the kit 18-135 but the latter lens is just a better lens. Never had an overheating problem with any shooting mode. I do not shoot over 2500 iso due to noise, but that’s me. I shoot birds and wildlife and anything else I find interesting to snap a pic of. I love details especially in feather patterns. 90d is amazing.

[natetheartist]

I can't tell you how much I value your view in this area. I plan on purchasing the 90d for stills. Further research told me the 90d has two versions of 4k with one having no crop! However I want a full frame. Being as the the new r series hhad overheading issues upon release i began to look at Sony and Panasonic for video. Though the 90d has great video " in my opinion " recortime became the other issue i need addressed. For " me and my needs " you've confirmed my research results when it comes to video. Thank you so much this unbias share ...

[Ryomichi]

If you blow the image of 90D 1:1 compared to 70D, of course 90D will be softer because you zoom in more. But if you print or analyze the images from both cameras at the same size, 90d will have more detail. Higher pixel density will always result in more detail. If "not" then why landscape photographer choose high megapixel cameras? I think you need to do more thorough test before sending the wrong messages.

Just for the record on battery life. I shoot the r5 with a grip. I recently when to a 5-hour shooting event with two NH batteries in my grip. I got 9900 shots off those two batteries while still getting the full 12 fps! i went ahead and changed to my second set just to make sure i would not drop out of H+ green (12 fps)! I finished that day with 11, 000+ shots. This was bird photography and I was purposely trying to put the camera through its paced. I also shot in craw and had two 256 GB cards in the camera. So, I’m thinking that for most people staying in 12 fps mode is not going to be hard provided you aren’t chimping too much. One shoud definitely use the newer NH battery to get the best performance.

[BrentODell]

It's not shutter lag, the black-out is(it almost literally HAS to be) worse on any DSLR, because of the mirror. What you're seeing is a little bit of latency because the image has to be processed and then shown on the EVF. The auto-focus is not even open for comparison. The R6 is, by pretty much all accounts, better than the 1D-X ii.
