My outcome was selling the R6 and be happy with the original R and the old 6D
is the r much different than the r6 in raw profiles (camera matching) for LR?
I've bought the RP now to test against the R8 (which is the same as the rest of the Rs I've heared) and if that doesn't please me, I give it back and buy the r instead (which is very desired by the way and more expensive than the r8). since my r8 is already damaged (sensor) and in repair I took out the 550d - oh what glory colors in raw with portrait style! and the rendering/sharpness with a cheap 15 year old 50mm f1.8 is easily on par with r8+85mm f2 in most cases. the r8 has a very weird way of rendering fine hair (it looks like compression artefacts) in sunlight, which the 550d doesn't have.
The camera profiles of the R are more pleasing applied in Lightroom than the profiles of the R6.
Sometimes you get almost the same with the R and R6 but on the R6 there is almost always something that looks unnatural like the colors of trees or the fur of my dachshund
When you use the Camera Neutral profile you can get them close but I prefer Landscape or Standard most of the time.
The R does have the old EOS 5D Mark IV sensor. The RP the EOS 6D Mark II sensor.
I find the RP colors more saturated and the R is a bit more neutral. It’s similar like old 5D Mark III vs 6D where I find the 6D was more saturated
I hated the shadow noise of the RP and 6D Mark II.
Although the R has more resolution the R6 looked sharper. But this looked kinda unnatural to me. The old Canon cameras, where I put the R as well because of the old 5D Mark IV sensor, had a natural and smooth sharpening. The R6 and R8 have this unnatural Sony like sharpening (I used the A7 for a while vs 6D Mark II) which I don’t like. The images look kinda flat.
So the R is for my taste a perfect Canon camera: old sensor paired with new mirrorless technology.
Yes my running dog was almost always perfectly in focus with the R6 but this doesn’t help when my small Dachshund doesn’t look like him on the photo
Now he can run a few more times for the perfect photo with a slower R but the end result is more pleasing: he looks like my dog.
I’m using a 2020 27’ iMac
and don’t have the resources to calibrate it. Almost all files of the Canon cameras I owned look just like I expect them to look except the R6 and to a lesser extend the R8.
Keep your eyes on the Mac forum, I'll slap it up in the next couple weeks, I hope. Waiting for some components from mouser before the next phase of tweaks.
