Depends on how much money one has.
Many of us will need to change as we have the money including the sale of our lenses, some of which are old. The RF replacement would still be expensive even selling the older lenses.
That is why Canon is so phenomenal in that ALL your AF lenses allow for the transition with NO loss of operability no matter how old unlike Nikon.


The best way to save money is to not spend it ... An EOS 90D is a brand new camera with all of Canon's latest technology. No need to change just for a new the body.

but if the OP is thinking that he will change at some point, he might as well do it now, so all future lens purchases will be of the new incredible technology.

May be the way Canon is going in the future. Perhaps this where Canon may progress in the fututure.

Certain features - such as focus peaking - may be available in EVF but not OVF.

Perhaps lighter, depending on which lenses are preferred.


All of that, plus the teenzie weenzie minor benefit of totally accurate focus, anywhere in the frame, without tedious calibration that only does a sloppy job anywho ...

Accurate focus is just a tiny niche market, but fortunately it’s native to live view, no extra R&D or moving parts !

But that was now and this is then.

You should’ve registered it with the copyright office. No royalties for you :-(

This may not be the most appropriate section for this question but in my opinion it is the section which gets the widest exposure. I currently us a canon 90d and primarily shot wildlife with a canon 100-400 L II lens with occasionally a 1.4 extender. I am interested in switching to full frame mirror-less and the new R6 appears to meet almost all of my requirements. I never shoot video and will be adding a walk around lens and the new RF lenses appear to be very good. My question is will the lower resolution of the R6 have a negative effect on my images, assuming I never print images larger then 16x20? I realize that there are not a lot of R6's out there but if I am going to make the transmission the sooner I sell my current equipment and upgrade the better.

As someone who owns and uses the R6 almost daily, it is a phenomenal camera and the 20 mega pixel sensor is more than enough for what you say you want to do. The RF glass is amazing and it’s fun to shoot with as well.
I would add that the camera you have is also a very capable camera. Is there a reason that you were wanting to make the move? I went all mirrorless a few years ago and love it.

One of the features I like in the Canon R6 is the in camera stabilization. That feature allows me to use my Canon EF 400 mm prime lens, not stabilized, on the R6 (with the adapter). The photo was taken hand held at 1/500 sec, 640 ISO, f6.3.

Here is a low light photo of my grandson playing basketball. This was with the Canon R6, RF 24-240 @ 100mm, 1/500 sec, f 6.3, ISO 16000.

It will be a huge difference, the area of the sensor of your 90D is about 1/2 half the area of the sensor on the R6, and has 1/2 again as many pixels. The R6 will not have the reach of the 90D because of the crop factor, you will find yourself not having the reach nor the pixel count to crop down tight. The 45mp R5 is a better choice but it also comes at a much greater expense.

Just my opinion of course. If the 90d meets all your requirements, and you never print large, Full frame won't make your images any better.Nor, for that .matter neither will mirrorless. I would spend the money on glass. ut if you wnt to keep the 90d as a back up body, thats a whole nother question.

Everything ... EVERYTHING ... in that post is opposite to my experience. Just how it goes. All part of the infotainment. UHH is quite overloaded with requests for advice on upgrading and advice that upgrading won’t improve your images, plus arguments about which gear is the better upgrade.

If someone ASKS if a certain upgrade will bring improvement, then address THAT question. If someone ASKS which gear would provide an upgrade, then answer THAT question. Or ... mash it all together UHH-style, and thanks for the laffs.

The R6 can be set for full frame or crop factor 1.6

Yes, and then it is about a 10mp crop camera, how could that be better than the 90D for wildlife, I too am a fan of the newer R bodies, I currently shoot with an R5 and I often wonder if I would have not done better to go with the R6 because I don't shoot wildlife to much any more. Having said that I used to shoot a lot of BIF and could never get close enough even when using a 500mm prime with an extender, wildlife photographers usually find the need to crop unless they are shooting from blinds and exercise a great deal of patience. My go to camera for birding was a 5DSR which allowed for cropping, and even that 50mp camera did not have the pixel density of his 90D.
