Nice one, haha. You really planned well.
Btw you sold your 1dx yet? How much?
Also your 1635 is version ii?
*
Not going to be anytime soon though, so I'm just hoping that Canon runs this promo all year long laugh.gif

Nope, still keeping my 1DX. Using both the 1DX and R6 now for events. 16-35 on the 1DX and 50 1.2 on the R6. I've never had such high hit rate with the 50 1.2 ever in my life. Dual Pixel AF II is amazing.

Yeah it's the version II. It's also my oldest lens currently. About 10 years old now. Also the softest lens that I own now. sweat.gif

Pretty great lens overall for such a small package. Only drawback is the focus breathing. Michaelbyz23 Which one you gonna get? laugh.gif

Does EOS R still consider a good buy in 2021? Or should I go to R6?
*
I would say if you have the budget to go for the R6, go for it. But it's almost 2x the price of the R so it really depends on your needs. I myself got the R6 because I needed a second body for events (whenever events are allowed again) to pair with my 1DX. For casual shooting probably don't need unless you got the money to spend. laugh.gif

Haha OK. Thanks mate R6 seems like overkill, another additional RM4K but really attempted with the dynamic range. I'm not that happy with rp shadow recovery seems worse than my previous cam.
*
Yeah the 6D Mark II sensor wasn't well known for it's DR. I heard the R/5D4's sensor is better but not as good as the R6/R5. But I don't have any experience with the 5D4/R so I can't really comment. I came from a 5D3 and the DR on that is a joke laugh.gif

I would say the R6 is overkill for casual usage but damn that AF and speed is really next level. I could actually use my old EF 50 1.2 for events for the first time laugh.gif

I used 6D before and it's shadow recovery is not that bad, but rp however the noise is intolerable and we're talking at the base iso, regret buying the camera. Although all other features is actually a worthy upgrade from the previous cam. I look through nikon underexposed z5 raw files online and it's dynamic range is unbelievable at base ISO. But after reading thoroughly their AF is not as good as canon dual pixel AF. Seems canon still winning on the AF.
*
Yeah but the 6D Mark II's sensor which is the same in the RP isn't as good as the OG 6D in terms of shadow recovery. Many people complained about that when the 6D Mark II came out, including noise performance.

Yeah in terms of DR, Nikon & Sony is still ahead of Canon. Only the R5/R6 have caught up recently. I love the noise performance in my R6 though, but haven't used it enough to judge it's DR performance yet.

R6 sensor is similar to 1dx right? Seems like a flagship sensor should be excellent. From many videos, reviewers mentioned that R6 sensor tends to give warmish colour to skin tone. Is it true? Also many mentioned is it easier adjust colour from R sensor and less editing required for that part.
*
Yeah from what I've read it's the same sensor as the 1DX III but with a different AA filter. My 1DX is the original so can't compare directly laugh.gif So far I haven't noticed any difference in skin tones except when using Lightroom as there are no Canon profiles for it. The Adobe profile really changes the tones in a bad way. That's probably why people say it's easier to edit the R photos. But if you use DPP it's fine.

$5999 RRP in the US. It's gonna be at least RM24,999 or higher here laugh.gif

Quite interested in the little 16mm though @ $299. Sounds like it'll be a great travel lens with the 35 1.8 thumbup.gif

Thanks for the insights! I'll go with RF directly without an adapter.

Also, I noticed R6 has RM 500 instant rebate? How do we get this instant rebate? Is it discounted directly when we made the purchase?

If I'm not mistaken the instant rebate is only applicable to shops who sells at the RRP of RM10,999. Which means you'll be paying RM10,499 but it's still more expensive compared to Altech Camera or Acce Camera. Best to double check though! laugh.gif
