I am wondering if anyone has had the chance to experiment with the following cameras. 5D mark IV , R5 , and R6 as a comparison. What did you prefer ? Why ? What was the main subject(s) of your shooting ? The only DSLR experience I have is EOS 60D. Want to upgrade in the new year and am collecting opinions. Thanks
I have used none of the mentioned cameras. But upgrading is always nice. The question that I would ask you is what do you like to photograph? Then suggestions can be made for you. Gary
HI Bill, all three of those are solid investments. Are you aiming to slim down the form factor with 2 options being mirror-less? I would imagine those could run a bit hot if you shoot a lot of video. Both have newer sensors in them than the older 5d4, but that i also a great camera for the money and gong to feel more like the 60d you have. I still prefer to SLR feel and viewfinder so I got a mark 4 last year. All are great options but everyone's situation and preference is different so only you know what is best for you.
Hi There ; I have only seen the R5 and R6 in print so if they are smaller they may not feel as substantive as the Mark 4. I saw a lot of posts about Canon going mirrorless and DSLR would be phased out. Then I looked on Ebay and you can still get FD lenses , so if the same happens for dslr they will be around longer than me. Thanks
The reason that I ask is that if you are going to be looking through a viewfinder for a period of time, an optical viewfinder is easier on the eye. But you are shooting macro, and low down, a camera with a flippy screen is a real bonus and makes it so much easier. Gary
with wildlife and macro the evf is a godsend, esp when you got a bird in a tree among branches, when the af says 'nope i'm fixated on this sexy little twig out front' ,you can hit magnify and manually refocus onto the bird. if you like shooting wildlife the animal eye af on the R6 and R5 has had very good reviews, almost like a cheat code for wildlife the only thing that would put me off the R5 in my current setup is the huge file sizes, i'd defiantly need to upgrade my computer set up to handle them, not sure if its something that is a thought for others or if they are naturally set up already for the file/data sizes from the R5?
Thanks for the info. I think the R5 is just too much camera for what I would use it for and since already have 5 ef lenses thinking Mark iv
with a couple of threads on 'which camera" i had been looking at which full frame camera i would choose, i'd rule out the R5 because it would mean me upgrading other stuff as mentioned before, if i were to make a significant income from photography then the work would justify the upgrades. The R5 is a perfect camera in its self for my type of shooting, though i would keep the M50 for its small size. so i think at present the RP would be my choice of FF camera.
