This isn't a "review".
I'll get around to doing one of those later after some other tests. I'm simply passing on my first impressions on the R6 camera. To sum it up: I like it. .

Your opinion counts for a lot, in my book.

.
Using the EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM lens (via the control-ring lens adapter for RF to EF lenses), I literally forgot I wasn't using a full-frame DSLR. The speed and responsiveness were great and there was no lag in operation while shooting.

Does that mean that High Speed Display works with burst shooting with EF lenses on R6?


* All images shot in JPEG (I don't shoot RAW).

Interesting.  I have never shot a JPEG since buying my first RAW capable camera.   That said,  I thought about going to JPEGS when I got the R, my first camera with EVF, because of the preview.  Old habits die hard.

How often do you have to adjust white balance?

Do you still edit your pictures much or use them directly as they are?

.
Is it worth the additional cost over the R/RP? Not quite sure of that but it's worth the price if you want a definitive camera that covers most bases. If you need to upgrade or buy a new imaging instrument like the R6, then this is like a blend between the 5D/6D DSLR cameras. It handles a lot like a 6D with a vastly improved AF system. I think it's a significant camera model and the images it produces are excellent. I imagine it would be hard to go back to a "regular" camera with less features after using the R6.

Thank you for all of your posts.  I look at every one I see.

Your words are always enlightening, and your pictures are a joy to look at.
