I use a couple of Canon EF portrait lenses (135/2L & 85/1.8 USM) with EOS R and I don't have any major problems as i keep the shutter speed around 1/200 most of the time. But I was wondering how effective is the IBIS on R6 with these EF lenses. Is it still 5-axis with EF lenses or downgrades to 3-axis?

Some used R6's are popping up here and there and I am contemplating if its going to benefit my STILL images in any way - (No interest in video)?

Thanks in advance

From my point of view, it's amazing. I shot with a Sigma 35mm Art (EF mount, no IS) using IBIS only, 1/6 sec hand held. Needless to say I would never have attempted that with my 5D4.

Why people only look at the Center? Your edges are blurred.

What does your comment have to do with the effectiveness of R5/6 IBIS on this hand held shot?

And what difference does it make if the edges are "blurred"? Why would the image be better if they were "sharp"? Also, they aren't even all that blurry, considering that some of the greenery was undoubtedly in motion just like the water. The point, I take it, was the effect of the slow shutter on the water. And the water isn't really centered.

Not saying that this shot belongs in MOMA, but it makes the poster's point adequately.

Of course it has to do. You can’t be talking about ibis effectiveness and be looking only at the middle. In a landscape style like this, sharpness at the edges is important. And he is using a very sharp lens capable of delivering the sharpness, but then the image is not as sharp as it should.
of course it’s not intended to be a picture for MOMA or whatever, but ibis is just not as good as the current state because it has some bugs. I found out an important bug and it seems Canon us working to fix it.

You assert that there is some problem in Canon's implementation of IBIS - and there may be - but I, and I think the poster, are just saying that the IBIS still already enables capturing shots with an R5/6 that we, anyway, don't think we would get with a non-IBIS body. The positions are not contradictory.

On the other hand, I do take issue with your insistence that there is something "wrong " with the edges. First, the poster apparently does not think so and neither do I. Second, there is some motion blur at the edges, but no implementation of IBIS would fix that. Third, I don't think this shot is intended as a formal landscape with edge to edge sharpness. For that I believe one would need a tripod, a faster shutter speed, and a neutral density filter. This is a hand held shot.
