Canon EOS R6

The EOS R6 was Canon's first full-frame mirrorless to truly nail autofocus, stabilisation and video in one package. The 20.1MP sensor is optimised for speed and low light rather than resolution. Its successor the R6 Mark II improved the AF further and raised the sensor to 24MP.

GearFrame's Take

The camera that made Canon's RF system worth taking seriously.

📝 How suitability scores are calculated GearScore™ genre scores are calculated from this camera's verified specifications — autofocus, sensor, weight, weather sealing and more — weighted by what matters for each type of photography. Where a spec sheet misses something (e.g. a manual-focus rangefinder for street), we apply a documented editorial adjustment. Scores are not based on customer reviews. See our full methodology →
