R5 Mark ii colors...

Colors seem totally fine to me on calibrated equipment. Could be one of several things on your end. Uncalibrated display. This seems kind of likely being it looks perfectly fine to me, but maybe your other photos looks different? Share some more examples if you can. Default camera profile in LR. I f

Most photographers don’t need better gear, they need better taste

If you have no skills, you’re still likely to take lousy photos whether you have $100 worth of gear or $20,000 worth of gear. Once you have a certain level of skill, lower quality gear can absolutely hold you back, especially if you’re shooting fast-moving subjects or in low light. Sports photograph

R6 MK2 vs R6 MK3 for professional family/portrait photographer?

Can't go wrong with either. I use the (much older) EOS R for a lot of the family and portrait work I do, and I find its 32MP resolution to be a nice little bump over the 20MP to 24MP sensors I've used previously, but it's not a huge difference. I'd personally spend the extra for the R6 III if I were

Canon R8 or Canon R6 mk2

I hope you've heard of the easiest way to make money as a photographer: selling your gear. Don't expect it to make money immediately, don't blow all your money on "redundancy" when you can get 95% there with the R8. They share the same sensor and processor, so the images are exactly the same. IBIS i

6D Mark II in 2025

depends on the price. the 6d2 has some minor drawbacks: - the dynamic range isn't great. it's a late outlier in canons sensor portfolio, it has basically the dr of the 5d3, which isn't great. both the 5d4 as well as all full frame r series cameras (aside from the rp) have much improved dynamic range

What lens should I get for my R6 OG or should I upgrade to R5 Mark ii?

Generally lenses are a better investment than upgrading to a new body unless there is something specific you need from a new body. How is your R6 holding you back, or what do you think an R5 II would give you that would help your photography? Personally you got at least 2 lenses I would replace ASAP

Not Canon vs Sony!

I switched from canon to Sony when the a7r II came out and tbh I loved it, I thought the colours were great and it really rekindled my passion for photography. I switched it out for a couple of a7iiis because of the autofocus and it was so much better for weddings but then I didn’t change them again

If I’m not chasing gear, but my current system still isn’t getting me the results I want, is it time to switch or time to change my approach?

Color rendition can be adjusted if shooting RAW and post processing. If working in Lightroom try the different color profiles (Adobe Color/Portrait/Vivid/Neutral/etc but also go into browse and try the Camera matching ones Camera Stanadard/Portrait/Vivid/etc...) Those are starting points and then yo

Same and decided to get canon eos R6 Mark III instead. Don't like 17Ultra for photos and videos and decided to keep 14 ultra as I think it was one of the best from Xiaomi flagships so far

How did Canon come up with the EOS-R Camera naming conventions?

Canon replaced most of the old DSLR flagship bodies with new mirrorless ones and retained the version numbering: 1D(x) -> R15D -> R56D -> R6...7D -> R7 7D was always the flagship APS-C body designed for sport and wildlife, you got better reach, faster AF and FPS, but you got a sensor with way lower
