→ Which Canon Mirrorless Camera is Right for You?
https://www.adorama.com/alc/canon-mir...

You are a portrait or fashion photographer, and you are ready to buy your next camera. You've decided upon a mirrorless camera and have decided to go with Canon. Congrats! But now the big question is, which camera is right for you? What criteria should you be looking out for?

Today we are looking at these cameras:
Canon R3 https://adorama.rfvk.net/rnkyXy
Canon R5 https://adorama.rfvk.net/JxzdE
Canon R6 II https://adorama.rfvk.net/5b2Gn3
Canon R7 https://adorama.rfvk.net/P0JgbN
Canon R https://adorama.rfvk.net/Q14Ra

For most of us, the top considerations are budget, megapixels, focus, frame rate, video, and special considerations.

Budget: With budget considerations, is it about having the best or simply the best for your money.

Megapixels: All of these cameras have sufficient megapixels for most portrait photography, with all of them having 24 megapixels or more. If, however, you need to be able to blow up prints VERY large then you may consider the R5 at 45 megapixels. Or perhaps you tend to shoot a bit wider and then need to crop in, then higher megapixels would be a good choice.

Focus: All of these cameras have face and eye tracking and great focus options, so I think you are good to go. The R3 will be by far the fastest tracking feature for things like sports. The EOS R is the OG Canon mirrorless camera, and while still a great camera it definitely has first generous tech around its focus– that's the reason I’d probably suggest going with one of the other choices on this list unless you can get a great deal on a used one.

Frame Rate: Do you shoot action? Perhaps you shoot dance, or athlete in motion, or maybe add high school sports games to your high school senior photography business. Then a high frame rate will matter. For most other portraiture, even if your subjects are in motion, all of these cameras will have a high enough frame rate to capture your needs. The R3 and R6 Mark II both beat out the other cameras when it comes to this feature.

Specialty: There are other things to look at like battery life, focus bracketing features, or what other specialty needs do you have? For example, how important is weight to you? Do you need 8K video?

My overall verdict:

For a portrait photographer, I’d recommend the Canon R5. It’s got the most megapixels, which is great for large prints. Plus it has tons of focus points making it lightning-fast for eye-tracking with subjects. If that's a bit out of budget the Canon R6 Mark II still gives you a lot of those great features but with more than $1000 of savings as long as you are willing to sacrifice megapixels and 8k video.

If budget is your biggest consideration, the R7 is a great ‘middle ground’ for megapixels and frame rate and is around another $1000 less expensive than the R6 MarkII. If you choose the R7, however, because it is a crop sensor you won’t have as much dynamic range or high ISO capabilities, which may not be important for standard portraits.

And lastly, for portrait photographers who need to capture motion, perhaps you shoot dance, sports, or hobbyist wildlife then the R3 is great if you have no financial sensitivities, or the R6 Mark II for a very capable option at half the price (and probably a better fit for most of us).
