If you are looking for a particularly compact full-frame camera with the latest autofocus capabilities, the Alpha 7C II is a good choice. However, most of the larger cameras in the test field offer greater ease of use, e.g. an autofocus joystick or better viewfinders. The Canon EOS R8, which is the second cheapest camera tested with a street price of 1800 euros, won the test and offers the best value...

If there's one camera brand that everyone knows, even if you're not interested in photography, it's Canon. The Japanese company was one of the largest and most successful suppliers in the industry back in the days of analogue photography. They were also early pioneers in digital photography...
The Canon EOS R6 is the new common sense. It does not push the resolution upwards in either image or video, but remains in the now lower range of 20 MP and 4K. Instead, it offers a fast and flexible AF system with modern detection methods, in-camera image stabilisation and state-of-the-art communication - all in a handy body with intuitive operation...
For a camera with a 24 MP sensor, the R6 shows quite decent readings in the lab, which remain stable across all ISO levels. The resolution curves (blue) are typical for Canon: first a slight increase and a short course along the line of one, then a quick drop. Noticeable: the curve for low contrasts (dashed) is above that for high contrasts (solid) for coarser structures...

The EOS R3 easily takes a "Super" and the commanding test victory. To be fair, it is also the most expensive camera in the test field. The closest camera in price terms is the Sony Alpha 9 II, which in some respects - unlike its high-resolution sister Alpha 1 - is no longer up to date...
The RAW format only opens up the additional quality reserves at higher sensitivities. Across all levels, however, the images have a more natural look with better detail. Although the resolution of the Canon R6 is already good in JPEGs, the exaggerated contrasts and edges are disturbing.
