Design
1.Has a flip-out screen
✔Canon EOS R6
Flip-out screens can be useful for tricky shots.
2.weather-sealed (splashproof)
✔Canon EOS R6
The device is protected with extra seals to prevent failures caused by dust, raindrops, and water splashes.
3.Has a built-in focus motor
✔Canon EOS R6
The focus motor moves the lens in order to autofocus. For system cameras, having a focus motor in the camera's body allows you to use a wide range of lenses, including lenses which do not have their own focus motor. For compact cameras, a focus motor is usually built-in.
4.is dustproof and water-resistant
✔Canon EOS R6
The device is dustproof and water-resistant. Water-resistant devices can resist the penetration of water, such as powerful water jets, but not being submerged into water.
5.weight
680g
We consider a lower weight better because lighter devices are more comfortable to carry. A lower weight is also an advantage for home appliances, as it makes transportation easier, and for many other types of products.
With 100% coverage, you can compose the image correctly when you capture the photo. With less than full coverage, you may have to crop your photos afterward to get them looking perfect.
7.has an optical viewfinder
✖Canon EOS R6
An optical viewfinder (or OVF) allows the photographer to compose a shot while seeing exactly what the lens will capture. OVFs have no time lag and require no power - as opposed to electronic viewfinders, which can drain battery life. OVFs are also better in low light situations.
8.Has a hot shoe
✔Canon EOS R6
A hot shoe can be used to attach an external flash, as well as light meters, viewfinders, rangefinders and other attachments.
9.screen resolution
1620k dots
A higher screen resolution provides a sharper image, making it easier to review your photos.
Optics
1.sensor size
36 x 24mm
The larger the sensor the more light the sensor captures yielding in better image quality.
2.focus points
1053
The more focus points the more flexibility in picking which part of the scene to focus on. They also give the image sensor a better probability in identifying the right area of the scene to focus on in more automatic modes.
The number of megapixels determines the resolution of the images captured with the main camera. A higher megapixel count means that the camera is capable of capturing more details. However, the megapixel count is not the only important element determining the quality of an image.
4.maximum light sensitivity
204800 ISO
With a higher light sensitivity (ISO level), the sensor absorbs more light. This can be used to capture moving objects using a fast shutter speed, or to take images in low light without using a flash.
Fast continuous shooting is useful for catching action shots.
6.has AF tracking
✔Canon EOS R6
With AF tracking, once you choose the subject and press the shutter release part way down, as the subject moves, the autofocus will follow it. No more out of focus shots.
7.has built-in optical image stabilization
✔Canon EOS R6
Optical image stabilization uses gyroscopic sensors to detect the vibrations of the camera. The lens adjusts the optical path accordingly, ensuring that any type of motion blur is corrected before the sensor captures the image.
8.Has phase-detection autofocus for photos
✔Canon EOS R6
Phase-detection autofocus is much faster than a contrast detection autofocus, allowing for sharper images.
9.fastest shutter speed
1/8000s
A faster maximum shutter speed allows taking pictures of fast moving subjects without blur.
Videography
1.video recording (main camera)
2160 x 60fps
The maximum resolution available for videos shot with the main camera. Although it may be possible to choose among other frame rates, those recordings usually have lower resolutions.
2.Has phase-detection autofocus for videos
✔Canon EOS R6
A phase-detection autofocus system is faster than a contrast detection autofocus system. Even when recording scenes with a lot of fast movements, the videos are sharp and clear.
3.has continuous autofocus when recording movies
✔Canon EOS R6
When recording movies they stay focussed and sharp.
4.Has timelapse function
✔Canon EOS R6
A timelapse shows a long passage of time sped up. A series of photographs taken from the same position over a long period is joined together to create a short video. It is great way to capture things like the setting sun, or clouds moving across the sky.
5.has a 24p cinema mode
✔Canon EOS R6
24p is a video format (24 frames per second) traditionally used in cinema. Nowadays, it is used to create film-like motion characteristics.
6.supports slow-motion video recording
✔Canon EOS R6
Slow-motion is an artistic video effect that makes time seem to go slower. It is achieved by recording a video at a higher frame-rate than the standard playback rate of 24fps or 30fps. Depending on camera capabilities, frame rates for slow-motion videos vary between 60fps and 960fps.
7.supports AVCHD format
✔Canon EOS R6
AVCHD (Advanced Video Coding High Definition) is a file-based format for the digital recording and playback of high-definition video. It's a standard popular among professional cameras and camcorders.
Audio
1.has a microphone input
✔Canon EOS R6
A microphone port allows connecting external high-end or specialized microphones.
2.has a stereo microphone
✖Canon EOS R6
A stereo microphone allows to record audio files or movies in stereo without an external microphone.
More microphones result in better sound quality and enable the device to filter out background noise.
4.has a socket for a 3.5 mm audio jack
✔Canon EOS R6
With a standard mini jack socket, you can use the device with most headphones.
5.Has a zoom microphone
✖Canon EOS R6
Zoom microphones record high-quality audio and enable you to record sound from a distance. They can be useful for recording meetings, lectures, and presentations.
6.has stereo speakers
✖Canon EOS R6
Devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better experience.
Battery
1.Battery life (CIPA)
360shots
CIPA is an independent, standard measurement that determines how many shots a camera can take before the battery dies.
2.has a removable battery
✔Canon EOS R6
The battery is removable and can be replaced by the user if broken.
3.has a rechargeable battery
✔Canon EOS R6
The battery can be recharged and used over again.
4.has a battery level indicator
✔Canon EOS R6
An indicator shows you when the device has low battery.
5.has wireless charging
✖Canon EOS R6
The manufacturer offers a branded wireless charging kit. To charge the device, you simply put it down on its charging base.
Features
1.supports Wi-Fi
✔Canon EOS R6
The device can connect to Wi-Fi.
2.Has a remote control
✔Canon EOS R6
A remote control allows you to control the device remotely. The remote control can be included or optional.
3.has an external memory slot
✔Canon EOS R6
The device has a standard memory slot (such as an SD or micro SD card slot) that enables you to extend the built-in internal storage with affordable memory modules, or easily retrieve data, such as photographs, from the memory card.
4.supports Wi-Fi 4 (802.11n)
✔Canon EOS R6
Wi-Fi 4 (802.11n) is a wireless standard released in 2009. It has faster transfer rates and improved security compared to its predecessors – a, b, and g.
5.supports a remote smartphone
✔Canon EOS R6
This technology allows the users to use their smartphone as a remote control for the device.
6.has an HDMI output
✔Canon EOS R6
Devices with a HDMI or mini HDMI port can transfer high definition video and audio to a display.
7.has an accelerometer
✔Canon EOS R6
An accelerometer is a sensor used to measure the linear acceleration of a device. A common application is detecting when a device changes between vertical and horizontal positions.
8.Has dual card slots
✔Canon EOS R6
It has two memory card slots, allowing you to store more photos without switching cards. This is particularly useful on long shoots when you need more space.
9.has GPS
✖Canon EOS R6
GPS enables global positioning, useful in map, geo-tagging or navigation apps.
