I’m into sports photography, and upgrading from a Canon R10. I don’t mind the side effects of lense adapters, and will be upgrading lenses soon anyways

I’m trying to find out which camera body is better for me. The Canon R6 or the Sony A9 mk1 (or if there’s a better option around the budget)

Details: Sports photography Videography would be nice in the future, not super big factor Budget is about 1.3k USD

I need a camera for both photo and video purposes especially , I don't have a good idea about the new mirrorless cameras and this is the first time im buying my own camera. Before i used 700d dslr for 5 years.... Someone please help me with this… Budget is 2000$

Hello guys!

At the beginning i want to say that our photography gropus in Poland are that toxic that i have to write post right here to avoid getting roasted.

I currently own a Canon 70D with a Sigma 24-70mm Art lens, and I’m considering upgrading my gear. Based on reviews and YouTube videos, I’ve been leaning towards the Sony A7III, but I’m a bit concerned about the lack of a fully articulating screen. What are your thoughts on this?

The Canon R6 does have a fully articulating screen, but it’s significantly more expensive than the Sony. Additionally, I really enjoy working with my Sigma lens, and I’d like to keep it if possible. How well would this lens perform with an EF → R or EF → E adapter?

Would it perhaps be a better idea to save up for the Sony A7IV instead?

My main focus is product, portrait, and event/concert photography, and most importantly, I want to learn videography.

Thanks in advance for your advice!

Hi guys, I am a new photographer. I'd like to focus on family and elopements, intimate weddings (less than 50 guests) I currently have the original canon 7d body with 18-135mm lens and 50mm f/1.8 lens.

I'm trying to figure out if I should purchase purchase the Canon R6 iii OR completely change it up to a Sony A7 IV

I just don't know if spending on a canon is wise knowing I'm new to this, is it worth purchasing a canon with the expensive lenses as a new photographer or just go with a sony?

also if you have any lens recommendations, let me know

also if I were to go with canon r6, is shooting with 24-105mm f4-7.1 for small weddings is that fine as a new photographer? or do i need better lens

What are your thoughts and recommendations?

Hi everyone. I’m looking to get back into photography and want to invest in a new setup. Right now I’m deciding between the Sony A7 III and the Canon R6.

A bit about me: I’ve been into photography for around 6–7 years. I started with Canon and did most of my paid work on a 6D. I also spent quite some time shooting with point-and-shoot film cameras, and at one point I experimented with the Fujifilm X-T30 II.

I mainly shoot:

• portraits

• travel / street

• events and concerts

The Canon R6 attracts me because of its newer technology (viewfinder, autofocus, fully articulating screen, etc.). Sony, on the other hand, intrigues me because it’s something new to me—I’ve never used it before. I’m open to switching systems, but I also know and like Canon. There’s also the question of lens compatibility.

In an ideal world, I’d go with a Canon R6 paired with Sigma 35mm and 85mm f/1.4 lenses, plus a zoom (something like 70–200). However, I have some concerns about relying on adapters, which is why I’m considering a few different setups:

Scenario 1:

Canon R6

Sigma 35mm f/1.4 (with adapter)

Sigma 85mm f/1.4 (with adapter)

Scenario 2:

Sony A7 III

Sigma 35mm f/1.4

Sigma 85mm f/1.4

Scenario 3:

Canon R6

Canon RF 35mm f/1.8

Samyang 85mm f/1.4

Scenario 4:

Something I might be overlooking?

I’m not considering Canon L-series 1.4 lenses due to budget constraints, but I am aiming for fast lenses (f/1.4). A 35mm f/1.8 feels like a compromise to me.

I’d really appreciate your thoughts—especially from people who have experience with these systems in similar use cases.

I have a SONY A6400 today, and will upgrade within the next few months.

My plan was to go with the Sony A7V, once it is released. If specs turns out decent. But what about the new Canon R6 Mark III?

Faster burst rate, pre-capture. Whats not to like?

Why should I stick with Sony (?), other than the fact that there are more lenses to choose from.

How is the AF on these Canons compared to Sonys A7 range?

I shoot mostly wildlife/birds, nature and landscape. Mixed up with city etc. once in a while. Ive done little video to this day, but might be more in the future.

Debate!

Long story short, I am about to sell my Nikon d750 and purchase a new camera with better video capabilities. The new camera will mainly be for Vlogs/ B-Roll but also Travel Photography. The R6 is very attractive and I don’t mind paying more for what it offers but I do know that the A7iii is a beast of a camera and its price would allow me to buy an extra prime lens, although it doesn’t have a flip screen or 4k 60, which does matter.l more than the extra lens mentioned Taking into account my priorities, which would you recommend and why? Future-proofing is another important factor. Thank you for your input!✌️

Hey everyone,

I’m about to embark on a world tour as part of an artist’s team, handling social media content creation for the musical artist. Up until now, I’ve been relying solely on my iPhone for all my work with my clients over the past year, but with the scale of this opportunity, I know it’s time to invest in a proper camera that can handle both photo and video in all kinds of settings.

I’m currently considering:
📷 Sony A7V
📷 Canon R6 Mark II

What I Need:

• Low-light performance: I’ll be shooting a lot of live concerts, so it needs to perform well in dark venues with bright stage lighting.

• Versatility: It should also be great for daytime content (behind-the-scenes, travel shots, social media reels, etc.).

• Photo & Video Balance: I need a camera that excels in both (I can’t carry separate cameras).

• Ease of Use: I have one month before the tour starts, so I need something I can learn quickly but also grow into.

Lens Recommendation?
Since this purchase is already pushing my budget to the absolute max, I can probably afford only one lens to start. What would be the best all-around lens for my needs? Something versatile enough for both live shows and daytime shooting.

I’d love any advice on which camera would be the better investment and what lens would give me the most flexibility. I need to buy ASAP so I can start practicing! Also, if theres a place you recommend to buy used gear please let me know!

Thanks in advance for the help—I really appreciate any insight! 🙏🏼

Hey all!

I'm a content creator doing mostly short-form content (IG, TT, YT shorts) at the moment, but I'm to start with long-form on YT too. I've been in the game for a bit more than a year and used iPhone so far (first 12, now 14 Pro).

I want to upgrade my equipment, thinking about the new Canon R6 Mark II vs. the famous Sony A7S III.

What do you recommend, which one is more future-proof? The difference in price doesn't matter to me - I just want to pick up the best out of the two.

Thanks a lot for your help!

Looking for suggestions on what I should do.

Budget: ~$2,500 USD for just the body

Country: USA

Condition: New or Used

Type of Camera: Mirrorless,

Intended use: hybrid shooting

If photography: Concert and Portrait

If video what style: Concert, music videos and social media content

What features do you absolutely need: IBIS, weather sealing, articulating screen, dual card slots, viewfinder, low light capabilities

What features would be nice to have:

Cameras you're considering: Canon r6iii

Cameras you already have: I currently have a sony a7iv and don't love it. I shoot photo and video, mostly concerts and other low light situations. I have a lot of banding on my photos and have tried everything to try and get rid of it, but nothing is working. I also do mostly handheld, run and gun style filming and find that most of my footage is shaky compared to when I used a canon in the past.

Sony comes in around 650g with battery and the r6 ii is about 680g.

I’ve always thought of canons too be a bit bulkier than the Sony a line.

I haven’t picked up an canon R series before.

Last camera I held was an 5d mark IV. It’s about 900g and it felt pretty bulky.

Are these R6 cams compact? They even weight less than the 6D line.

I have a Nikon D5300 (Nikon haters don’t make fun of me lol), which is about 7 years old now, and I have recently started doing professional work and would really like to upgrade to a mirrorless full frame camera. I do portraits mainly, and some landscape and real estate work, so I don’t really want to get a cropped sensor camera. I’m more focused on stills with some video every once in a while. I know I can get a used R6, a used A7iii and an R8 for about the same price, give or take a hundred dollars or so, and that’s about the price range that I’m going for excluding glass. I know Sony with the third party lenses is a huge draw, but I was just curious if I should go with the more advanced tech in the Canon cameras. I’d appreciate any thoughts anyone has to offer on this matter! Thank you!

Hey guys! Anyone here who has tried the Sony A7V AND Canon R6 Mark III?

I'm between cameras and brands and have to decide between the two of them with the benefits and weakness of the lens system and the possible upgrades for stills/video.

Is there any clear reccomandation after using them both? Any "hidden" pros or cons that the youtube videos won't show for each of them. I haven't found a good comparison video on Youtube.

In detail, a typical use will be to make content for social media. A lot of stuff will be with the iphone, but I need something versatile for both video and photo. I'll typically buy something like 16-35,24-70 and 70-200 and maybe a prime for low light. I don't need it all right away.

I think the glass would be quite comparable for both sony and canon, but sony has of course both third party options and also stuff like 24-50.

It's a hard decision this, but I am trying to focus most on the best hybrid camera itself and maybe the upgrade options for a camera number 2 eventually.

Ibis (good, not wobbly), log options, dual iso (not too much noise) etc. And does canon have anything compared to s-cinetone? Would it be "neutral"?

Edit: Anyone knowing if Canon R6 mark iii has anything like S-cinetone? What is the closest? Flat, but not log.

Thanks!

I'm considering buying a new camera as the ones I have are getting old and I want something better. (Perhaps a bad argument, because the cameras I have still work, but still...). I already have Canon 6D with 24-70mm and 50mm lens and an Olympus omd EM 10 with 25mm lens. Perhaps the thing I want most from a new camera is better autofocus. Feels the 6D is a bit difficult to get it to focus where I want it to focus... The cameras I am considering buying are either the Canon R6 or the Sony A7 III. Anyone with experience? Which one is recommended? What are the pro and cons?

So I am frustrated because Best Buy doesn't allow you to pick up the cameras on display even at their "camera experience shop" or whatever tf. No point in having them on display as half of them you can't even see the back of. Like wth!

And there is only one photography store anywhere near me and they don't even have a IV to mess with. They did have an R6II that I got to play with as well as a fellow photogrpher who said the AF was more impressive and reliable on the R6II between the two. I mean it does have the R3 AF (or similar to the RV for half the price). I guess I am just leaning toward the R6 with it 1) being $500 cheaper right now, and 2) it has way more photography features than the IV, like focus bracketing, bulb timer, false coloring (idk if the IV has that), among many others like 4k60 no crop and doesn't really overheat, no rolling shutter, and 2x burst rate. I just wanted to pick the IV up and give it a chance.

That store had a III and I immediately noticed even with my small hands that my pinky was left to find a place to rest which was awkward. I noticed on the III how the EVF dropped resolution when focusing. Does the IV do that? I didn't notice the R6II doing that, correct? I know the RV does it. I can't think of any reason to go with the Sony over the Canon, not even considering the Canon is $500 less right now. Really impressive for the price, even double their price. Does the R6 feel better in the hands than the IV?

The weird thing on the II to me is the dial for the index finger on top vs on the front, but I'm guessing I'd get used to it. That fellow photographer bluntly said the Sony is not worth $500 more than the II.

Lastly, on the Sony can you use the joystick to move AF points like you can on the Canon?

Hi guys, I am a new wedding photographer. I currently have the original canon 7d body with 18-135mm lens and 50mm f/1.8 lens.

I'm trying to figure out if I should purchase another lens for my canon 7d OR purchase the Canon R6 iii OR completely change it up to a Sony A7 IV and eventually purchase other lenses for the sony.

What are your thoughts and recommendations?

Hi everyone,

I follow a bunch of photography subs as well as the Sony Alpha sub, and I've noticed a trend: there seem to be a lot of posts from people saying they've just switched over to Sony. This got me thinking—am I just biased because I follow the Sony Alpha sub, or is there something significant about Sony that's actually driving a switch?

I’ve been a Canon user for a little while. I've been debating between the Canon R6 Mark II and the Sony A7 IV for an upgrade to mirrorless, and on paper, the R6 Mark II seems to take the win:

• FPS: 12 fps mechanical and 40 fps electronic on the R6 II vs. 10 fps mechanical and electronic on the Sony (which is actually 6 fps if using uncompressed RAW).

• Autofocus Points: 4000+ AF points on the Canon vs. 700+ on the Sony.

I know Sony has a huge lens selection and have been ahead of the game with mirrorless, which is definitely a plus, but is there something else that makes it seem like so many photographers are switching to Sony? Is there something besides the lens selection that i’m missing?

Note: I’m not saying that a lot of people are switching from Canon to Sony; I’m just saying what i’ve anecdotally noticed and wondering if it’s an actual trend or not. I’ve been pretty dead set on the R6 II and don’t mind shelling out a little extra for RF glass, but wondering if there’s something else I’m missing here.

I'd love to hear your thoughts and experiences. Are you seeing the same trend? If you've switched to Sony, what were the main reasons for your decision?

Thanks in advance for your insights!
