Canon EOS R6 review: A perfect hybrid shooter with a big video flaw
Canon’s EOS R6 is the full-frame camera everyone wished for instead of the EOS R. While the 20-megapixel sensor lacks resolution compared to rivals, it offers in-body stabilization, Dual Pixel autofocus and 10-bit 4K 60 fps video -- all killer specs for a $2,500 camera. On the downside, overheating issues limit recording and recovery times, meaning it’s not a great choice for folks who need to shoot more than 30 minute takes.
