Hi everyone,

Thanks for all the wonderful advice.

I went to a local Henry's this weekend to try out a R5 or R6. They only had the R5 in stock to play with. What I didn't realize is they are having a big sale at the moment. Up to 30% off bodies and lens up to a maximum of $600 CAD. For the R5 that's $600 off, for the F/4 glass that's $600 off.

So the question is this? R5 or R6 Mark II with the 70-200mm F/4L IS USM RF lens. I'm questioning the 24-105mm F/4L IS RF Lens because of the overlap 70-105mm. I'm going to have to research alternatives. I know there are more MP in the R5, but what else for the price difference?

Thanks again!

Hi there,

I switched to Canon RF system some months ago for action/sports (hobby). I shoot outdoor (soccer and windsurf/wing foil) and indoors (handball).

I am very happy to have chosen the 70200/2.8 over the f4 version. I shoot f at 2.8 all the time.

I choose the R5 since I thought it gives be the ability to crop if needed and some times I switched to DX when my lens was not long enough. However noise kicks in at 3200/6400 ISO. So depending on your needs of resolution, maybe the R6II might be the better solution.

I think the R5 also offers a better EVF and some other advantages (top display...) over R6(II), but only you know what is more important.

Wow, this thread is all what I need! I am also in the same boat, will be switching from 5D Mark III to a R5 or R6 Mark II.

Still debating between both, hard. Besides the AF, I think the 45MP will be a huge upgrade over the 5D Mark III (Since it has like 22.3 MP). I do mostly landscape, but I don’t often crop, because I… couldn’t! Haha.

I’ll be heading to Japan in 2 weeks, so I am still waiting for the final reviews of the R6 Mark II. D

For the noise to kick in at 3200/6400, isn’t that similar to DSLR? Maybe Topaz DeNoise AI can help?
