What owners say about the Canon EOS R6 V

Based on 28 owners sharing their experience in online comments

68%positive11%mixed21%negative

Owners praise useful stabilization, fast customization, and reliable cooling, though IBIS limits and lens-only control remain frustrations.

What owners dislike

  • Owners cannot turn off the in-body stabilization and use only the lens stabilization. This is a problem for wide handheld video and for rigs.4
  • In-body stabilization is weak on ultra-wide lenses. Owners say it is usable from about 28mm or 35mm upward, but wobble is visible on wide shots.3

Short review · handheld stabilisation and footage after 3 months
Verdict
Canon EOS R6 V stabilises well on smooth ground, but wide-angle wobble on uneven paths means a gimbal is still worth having.

What customers don't like about Canon EOS R6 V

  • At 688 g it is heavy to carry all day.
  • The body is 141.8 mm wide and 79.7 mm thick, so it takes up room in a bag.
  • There is no flash, so indoor events need extra light.
  • There is no viewfinder, so framing relies on the screen in bright sun.

Verdict

Full-frame stills and fast 4K video are the main reasons to look at the Canon EOS R6 V. Its sensor-shift stabilization is rated at 7.5 stops, so handheld shots stay steady in dim rooms. Battery life of 510 shots covers a long day of shooting. Weather sealing and two card slots suit travel in wet weather. Eye detection covers people and animals, which helps keep moving subjects sharp. Continuous shooting reaches 12 fps for sport and wildlife. The trade-off is weight: 688 g is heavy for a long day with a lens. There is no flash, and the screen is the only way to frame shots. It suits a wedding, wildlife or hybrid shooter who wants one body for stills and video and does not mind the weight.
