Nice! Which is why I don't get why people like to complain about 20MP being insufficient. Especially when most if not all pictures end up on social media and compressed to hell anyway

Yeah and not to mention WhatsApp's compression is the absolute worst. Everything becomes a blurry mess Unless you send as attachment which is the full actual file itself.

Yup, no intention of going 45MP or whatever. End of the day it doesn't matter to my clients.

Which I find baseless, like can you (not you per se, I mean those complainers) even tell the difference between 20mp and 24mp in a blind test?

About the pricing, I look at it as a 1DX Mark III at 40% the cost. The few things the 1DX III does better is build quality, battery life and the 5.5k RAW video. It's a damn steal

Thanks for the tests. Have you tried shooting RAW to 1 card and JPEG to the 2nd card? Wondering how's the buffer like when shooting RAW+JPEG. With the 1DX and 5D3 the buffer is lower vs just shooting RAW to both cards.

Had a meet & feel session with the EOS R6, R5 and a bunch of RF lenses today thanks to Canon Malaysia and CPS. They even brought a model for us to take test shots with. Perfect timing as I'm just about to get an R6

Warning: pic heavy!

Nope, but we sanitized before entering the cafe.

Not a Canon event per se, just an invitation to CPS members to try out the R system. 3 sessions this week, each session has only 4-5 pax excluding the Canon rep and model. This was at Cafe 123 @ Jalan Gasing. There's another one this Saturday.

Damn damn poisonous....Will post up some sample pictures soon

Not yet, the Canon rep said they might try getting some good deals for CPS members, so waiting for that

Not yet, but looking to buy an R6 this month. See if got any good deals for Christmas / year end.

Just got this on 12.12 in preparation for my R6

Haven't bought the R6 yet, soon lah. Only bought 1 of this Lexar card.

The React Plus will be my second card Sony Tough G faster tho. 299mb/s write

Both also 300mb/s read and 260mb/s write. Want to avoid as much slowdowns as possible

Also, this card comes with a UHS-II reader, good value IMO.

Yup, and the React Plus also comes with a UHS-II reader. Good for backup

RM300 during the 12.12 promo. Also comes with a free 16GB USB drive.

Testing out the Lexar and Sandisk Extreme Pro SD cards on the included Lexar UHS-II card reader.

Lexar Professional 2000x 64GB 300MB/s UHS-II


Sandisk Extreme Pro 64GB 170MB/s UHS-I


The Lexar card doesn't seem to reach it's rated speed, I wonder why. It's plugged directly to my motherboard on a USB 3.1 port. I'll have to try it on another system and perhaps with the Kingston UHS-II card.

Yup, you can't get higher than 100mb/s on UHS-I cards as the bus speed is limited. You'll have to use their proprietary card reader to achieve the 170mb/s read speed. So for all practical purposes, it's a 95mb/s card just like their older cards.

Had fun the past few days getting used to

Super impressed with the Eye AF and tracking performance. No need to focus recompose anymore

BTW, my new Lexar 2000x card is giving me problems. I think the new cards made by the new owners of Lexar isn't very good. Reviews online seems to match my experience too. Had this happen 3 times in a couple of hours. I recommend you check your Lexar card too.



Transfer speeds are really disappointing too. Much slower than my Lexar CF card which I can get around 130-150mb/s and this SD card is supposed to be a 300/260mbps card.



I'm going to have to return this card and try another brand. Can't have this happening to me during a paid photoshoot. Very very disappointed with Lexar.

Yes, this Lexar card comes bundled with a Lexar UHS-II card reader.

This happened to me on my first real outing with the R6. Card has been formatted in camera prior to usage. Photos are still there after powering the camera off and on again. But I can't be doing that on assignment, powering the camera on and off, taking the card in and out etc and who knows maybe one day the photos inside will be corrupted. Too risky for me, so I'll be sending it back. Already ordered the Kingston Canvas React Plus, hopefully it's better.

Bought from Lazada, and since it was from Lexar Mall themselves I have a 15 day return window to return the card.

Yup, on V1.2.0 now

Yup to a hard drive. But previously with my CF card, I get a consistent 130-150mb/s transfer rates to the same drive with even larger total file sizes. Will test out with the Kingston Canvas React Plus and see if there's any difference.

Happy new year Canon fam!

Tested out the Kingston Canvas React Plus 64GB UHS-II card and so far it delivers on it's advertised speed:



In comparison with the Lexar that advertises 300mb/s read and 260mb/s write:



Used the Kingston card on a job recently and no funny error messages like with the Lexar. Hopefully it stays that way. For about RM115 less than the Lexar card, it's a no brainer.

For RM215 and that kind of speed, seems like a good value. Used it once for a job and so far so good. But only time will tell on the reliability. Also comes with a UHS-II card reader so that's nice.

Saw that you posted your recent Lexar card for sale, any reason why?

Nice! At least yours is close to the rated speed on the packaging. And for $50 per piece it's really cheap too.
