Hi All!

Has anybody here tried the Canon EOS R6 and the Fujifilm X-T3 or X-T4? I’m trying to find some comparison images between the RAW files. I am currently a Fuji shooter, but have found that there can be too much noise at even just 3200 ISO. This can be neat for certain shots, and I generally love it for my Halloween photography, but for weddings not so much.

I also want to see the overall difference between them like colour, detail, dynamic range, etc...

Handling I’ll have to wait and see once a display model is available at a local retailer. I have tiny hands, and the RP felt amazing in hand, but not sure how the R6 will feel.

Thanks!

Hi, i am looking to buy my new mirrorless camera. And xt3 and eos r seems like a good options to me after watching reviews online.

I cant decide which one to go for. I heard fuji colors are awesome in compare canon(film silm). Canon got good specs but little bit expensive. And little bit out of my budget. (If i did decide to go to canon i can do little bit of overtime).

I am a graphic designer i will use this camera as a hobby or taking some stills so i dont have to buy stock photos. I also be doing little bit of videography. my budget is $1500 with kit lens. I am willing to go little out of my budget. Help me decide which one should i go for?.

Thanks

I know many people hesitate between these two cameras, or even between these two brands, for various reasons. I was in the same situation and eventually decided to own both, as neither fully satisfied me on its own. Instead of writing a long, tedious review, I’ll present a FAQ-style comparison after nearly two years of daily use.

1. Is there a difference in low-light performance?

Yes, and depending on the model, the difference can be noticeable. The X-T5 has 40 megapixels, while the R6 has only 24. More megapixels mean smaller photosites, which typically results in more noise. My X100F, with fewer megapixels, has less noise than the X-T5. Against a 24 MP full-frame Canon, the X-T5 struggles, especially since it's APS-C vs. full-frame. If you use the X-H2S, the gap might be smaller. Additionally, I’ve noticed that the best noise reduction tools, like PureRaw or Adobe Denoise, work better with Canon files.

2) Is the autofocus that different between the two systems?

Absolutely. While it might not be as noticeable with static subjects, in many cases, the Fuji autofocus is unreliable. I wish it weren’t the case, but whenever I’m reviewing photos taken with the Fuji, I’m frustrated by how many are blurry without any clear reason. With the R6, this never happens. If I need consistent results, whether for work or one-time opportunities, the R6 is my go-to.

3) Are the colors better on one system?

In JPEG, definitely yes. Fuji colors are exceptional. In RAW, it’s closer, but I still prefer Fuji’s color rendition. If you’re picky about colors, I recommend using Capture One. I work with Lightroom, Capture One, and PhotoLab almost every day, and Capture One is clearly superior for color. That said, Canon colors are also fantastic—just that Fuji gives an extra 10% that makes them special.

4) Which is more enjoyable to use?

The answer is clear: the X-T5. There's something organic and hard to describe about using it. The Canon is also enjoyable—much more so than any Sony or Panasonic I’ve used—but Fuji offers a different, more immersive experience.

5) Is there a quality difference in video modes?

The R6 shoots without a crop in all modes and offers an APS-C mode, meaning your 24mm lens can also serve as a 35mm with no loss in quality—except at high ISOs, where noise size increases by 1.5x. While Canon’s noise is less pleasant than Fuji’s, it’s easier to denoise with tools like Neat Video. The X-T5 shoots in 6K, which is useful if you want to crop and deliver in 4K. F-Log2 is better than C-Log2, but the only good 4K mode on the X-T5 is the HQ mode, which comes with a crop. Add stabilization, and you get even more crop. Still, you can work with these limitations and achieve amazing results with both cameras.

6) What are the cons of each system that make me keep both?

Fuji:

• Autofocus: It’s a genuine issue, and I’m tired of hearing otherwise. Thankfully, many YouTubers are discussing it, and I hope this pushes Fuji to address the problem. I have several nephews, and the miss rate with the X-T5 is higher than what I find acceptable.

• Lack of good first-party zoom lenses: Fuji’s zoom lenses are often old, slow, and behind the competition. Thankfully, Sigma and Tamron offer alternatives.

If Fuji fixes the autofocus issue, I might consider selling my Canon system.

Canon:

• The lenses: Canon’s lenses are big, expensive, and the selection is limited. A 35mm f/1.4 costs €2000, and even at that price, it’s not perfect according to reviews. The zoom lenses are excellent, but they’re priced out of reach for many users—€2600 for a 24-70mm, with no third-party options from Sigma or Tamron, which usually cost less than half with nearly identical quality. This is my main gripe with the Canon system. Also, the size is not ideal, especially for travel. But it's more of a Full Frame lens issue than a Canon one.

In contrast, with the X-T5, you get the best APS-C lenses on the market, plus many options from Sigma and Viltrox. With Canon, you're left with basic f/1.8 lenses, and that’s about it.

In the end, the limited lens options for Canon are why I keep the Fuji, and the unreliable autofocus of the X-T5 is why I still have the R6 Mark II.
