INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
While the photography world's attention has been fixed on the Canon EOS R5, there has been chatter on the grapevine about an entry-level
announcement either at Photokina or just prior to the photography trade show
We've also previously heard that it will have a 20MP sensor which, some are speculating, could be the same 20.1MP flavour that is currently
in use in the professional sports DSLR, the EOS 1D X Mark III.It's also been rumored that it will likely boast in-body image stabilization
(IBIS) as the EOS R5 will, but the latest report from trustworthy source Canon Rumors suggests it will even match the R5's continuous
That means the R6 will be capable of shooting at 12fps when using its mechanical shutter and a whopping 20fps when its electronic shutter is
in use.That puts this entry-level model almost on par with pro shooters like its 1D X Mark III cousin and the competition from Sony's
Specs like these make the EOS R6's place in Canon's , well, canon rather confusing.While rumors suggest it's supposed to be
entry-level, those kinds of speeds haven't yet been seen on an affordable shooter
That said, the Canon EOS M6 Mark II APS-C mirrorless camera that was announced in August 2019 is capable of topping off at 14fps, although
there is a 30fps raw shooting mode for those willing to compromise on pixel counts
So there's always the possibility that the R6 will outdo anything else in the entry-level range when it launches later this year.On the
other hand, Canon Rumors claims that the R6 will not have the same viewfinder resolution as the pro-level R5 (although we don't yet know how
high-res it will be), and will also not have as rugged a build as its more expensive sibling
There will, apparently, be dual card slots, which we're assuming will support UHS-II SD cards, and its video specs also look impressive with
spreading, there have been reports of Canon shutting factories due to shortages in the supply chain.
