What reviewers say

Reviews praise image quality, responsive handling, stabilisation and improved subject tracking. Photography Blog considers it a well-rounded evolution with useful speed and video gains. Amateur Photographer agrees it is an excellent all-rounder but finds tracking imperfect and electronic-shutter distortion noticeable; existing R6 owners may have little reason to upgrade without needing a particular new feature.
