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 EOS R instead of R8/R6?

Personally, I would get the R6 MK II in your scenario. The EOS R is, as you noted, basically the same camera as your 5D MK IV but with slightly better AF and only one card slot. The R6 MK II will give you a second card slot, vastly superior AF, and IBIS. The body is about the same size as the R btw.

Is the R6 Mark III a significant upgrade from the EOS R?

u/CnelAurelianoBuendia the 2018 Canon EOS R's internals are primarily derived from the 2016 Canon EOS 5D Mark IV that is turning 10 in 1/2 year's time. EOS R6 Mark III was released 4 months ago. So the jump in tech is over 9 years. I'm experienced 2009 dSLR body vs 2024 mirrorless body and the impro

Upgrade to Canon R5 from Canon RP in 2025?

I don’t know if you already bought a camera but I am in a similar boat. I used to do semi-professional photography while in graduate school where I bought the Canon EOS R used about half a year before the R6 and R5 were launched. The lenses that I shoot on are the Sigma 35mm 1.4 Art and 85mm 1.4 Art

Pillow talk - what brand are y'all actually using?

Canon R5 and R6 for like 99% of the paid work I do and then a Fuji X100VI for fun (and sometimes paid work). I sold off most of my Nikon gear before switching to the canon R series, but kept my D700 and some primes for nostalgia reasons (and it still makes great photos). I love most of what my mirro

Pillow talk - what brand are y'all actually using?

I'm not sure about Canon having big holes in their camera lineup. The R10 is a very handy amateur camera, suitable for shooting almost anything. The R7 is currently a weak point, as it is somewhat buggy and has questionable ergonomics. But the R8 isn't even an amateur camera, it's rather a compact,

Screw new gear, why aren’t we all just buying our dream cameras from 7 / 8 years ago? They’re cheap.

over the last 7-8 years, cameras have significantly improved in some areas while stagnated in others, so depending on your personal preferences and needs, buying an older camera can be a good idea and many people do so. also used pricing can vary a lot, a 1dxii at these prices will have like 1 milli
