The Canon EOS R6 is more than just a `stripped-down` version of the R5. It shares the a lot of that camera`s features, save for the headliners – the 45MP sensor and 8K video capture are reserved for the R5.
It offers a resolution of 20MP, using a sensor similar to that of the EOS-1D X Mark III. The up-to-eight-stop image stabilization system is the same as the R5, and it uses the same DIGIC X processor and Dual Pixel CMOS II autofocus system with 100% coverage. The R6 can also fire off bursts at up to 20 fps with its electronic shutter, just like its big brother.
The R6 can`t record 8K or 4K/120p video, but it does capture slightly cropped UHD 4K/60p using nearly the full width of the sensor. Internal 10-bit 4:2:2 capture with C-Log or HDR PQ are also supported.

The R6 and R5 are hard to tell apart at first glance. The R6 has a mode dial rather than the top-plate LCD on the R5, and has a slightly smaller, lower resolution LCD, as well as a lower-res but still very impressive 3.69M-dot EVF. The camera features two SD card slots, both of which support the UHS-II standard. Unlike the R5, which has dual-band Wi-Fi, the R6 is 2.4Ghz only (Bluetooth specs are unchanged).
Battery life is rated at 360 shots per charge with the LCD and 250 with the EVF running at 120 fps (using 60 fps gives you a 50% increase). The R6 can use the same BG-R10 battery grip as the R5, but not the Wireless File Transmitter.
The EOS R6 will be available at the end of August in three kits:
Body only: $2499
Body + RF 24-105mm F4-7.1 IS STM lens: $2899
Body + RF 24-105mm F4L IS lens: $3599
