Well the inevitable Mk II version of the R6 has been released and I have looked at the list of new features and specifications and I have to say they don't prompt me to go out and buy one. Very few of the new features really benefit a stills photographer. The emphasis is on video features and a ridiculous increase in burst speed. The price increase of 10% over the the Mk1 is not justified by the new features. With no support of third party lenses, excessively expensive lenses and accessories, the RF system is looking less and less attractive. I am sure that many people will be dazzled by headlines like 40 frames per second but realistically, such features are of limited use to the vast majority of photographers.
I have virtually stopped using the R6. I have it up for sale and I will be moving to Sony as there are many more choices in both camera bodies and lenses within their system. Canon need to learn that they aren't the only game in town.
To update.Made a complete switch to Sony.
