Canon EOS R6 Hands on Photo Video Shoots and Specs Review SLR Lounge

In this latest quick video from Vanessa Joy, she jumps into her testing of the newly announced Canon EOS R6 Mirrorless system to give her review of the camera along with some hands-on experience and opinion (including her love for the high-speed shutter capabilities of the camera). Who is this system ideal for? What are it’s limitations? You’ll have to watch the 5-minute video to find out!

I’ve hands-on tested the Canon EOS R6 Full Frame Mirrorless Camera out with 6 different real hands on photo and video shoots, here’s what you need to know. Canon R6 for street photographers, fashion photographers, content creators, vloggers, youtubers, makeup tutorials, travel photography, kid photography, DJ photographers and videographers and even used the R6 for streaming gaming video to Twitch. I really put this thing through the ringer for this official review!
