he all-new EOS R6 combines the best aspects of the EOS 6D Mark II and 7D Mark II DSLRs to create a fast full-frame mirrorless with class-leading image quality. The R6 has a 20-megapixel full-frame sensor - very similar to the pro EOS-1D X Mk III DSLR sensor, but without the flagship’s new low-pass filter. The R6 matches the R5 to shoot continuously at 20fps with the electronic shutter, and 12fps with the mechanical shutter. With this high-speed shooting comes high ISO performance, with native ISO range of 100-102,400 (100-204,800 expandable). Plus with an AF working range of down to -6.5 EV (fractionally better than the R5), you should find the R6 can deal with dark conditions well.
As a 6-series camera the R6 handles like a 6D Mk II DSLR and gets a mode dial on the top, in a poly-carbon lighter body, which is still weather resistant. The R6 also has a new button on the front of the camera grip - Canon set this to use for AF to free up their right thumb for other buttons at the rear.
