Professional reviewers commend the a6600 for marrying high-speed autofocus, robust IBIS and unlimited 4K video in a compact, weather-resistant body, positioning it as the flagship APS-C hybrid. However, they note that many of these features are already present in cheaper siblings, and the added weight and lack of built-in flash temper its appeal for some users.
Everyday users appreciate the long battery life, effective in-body stabilization and fast eye-AF, especially for vlogging and travel shooting. Recurring themes of criticism focus on the camera's weight, the relatively small grip for larger hands, and the absence of a built-in flash or fully sealed lens.
Professional reviewers and editors commend the EOS R7 as Canon's strongest APS-C offering, emphasizing its 32.5 MP sensor paired with the DIGIC X processor for rapid 30 fps bursts and oversampled 4K/60p video, the highly capable Dual Pixel AF II tracking, and the robust 8-stop IBIS combined with a high-resolution EVF. They also note its solid build, weather sealing, and dual UHS-II slots, while pointing out the lack of higher-resolution video formats and some advanced video features.
Everyday users consistently praise the R7 for its fast autofocus, detailed 32.5 MP images, long battery life, and the convenience of the vari-angle screen and effective IBIS for handheld video. Common complaints revolve around the APS-C crop limiting wide-angle lenses, occasional overheating in extended 4K recording, and a desire for more advanced video codecs and built-in ND filters.
