This is most obvious when R6 is compared to the Z6, stating that R6 has the slight edge, but omitting to mention in which aspects, or that R6 is nearly double the price of Z6. More importantly, they mention that R6 is more capable at recording internal video, but the Z6 movie kit, sold with Atomos Ninja V, is still cheaper, and the comparison no longer holds.

I think DPreview has become an entertainment site with a shortcut to buy the listed gear from Amazon, but I'm not happy with the quality of the content they serve.

Lol, puzzling post you make there.

"Against the Nikon Z6 we think the Canon has the slight edge. We'd argue for the Canon's control layout and flexibility over the Nikon (though it's within the realms of personal preference), but feel the R6 brings a little more to the table in most respects. Rolling shutter and the looming overheat limits mean it's not a clear-cut victory for the Canon in terms of video, but the results are superb (and the Nikon can't internally record 10-bit or 60p footage). The Canon shoots faster, has excellent stabilization and features such as HDRTV-ready HEIF capture. The R6's benefits add up to enough to justify the price difference but probably aren't great enough to overrule consideration of whether the lenses you want are available."

Omitting to mention in which aspects, you write.
  • Control layout and flexibility
  • superb video results
  • 10-bit and 6-p footage
  • shoots faster
  • has excellent stabilization
  • HEIF
So they actually mention quite a few things, even though the list of what the R6 does more/better is much longer.

Then you say double the price.
B&H Z6 price: ~1800. B&H R6 price: ~2500.

By the way, DPReview also wrote a review of the Z6. In case you really interested.

Just a few points:
Z6 does 9fps at 14 bit raw, 12 fps at 12 bit raw. R6 does 12 fps at 14 bit raw, 20 fps at 12 bit raw.
Z6 : 5.5fps for live view. R6: 8fps with live view feed.
Z6 RAW buffer capacity: 43. R6 buffer capacity: 240
Z6 AF low light sensitivity: -3.5 EV. R6 AF low light sensitivity: -6.5 EV
Z6: tilting LCD. R6: Swivel LCD
R6: dual memory card slots
R6: higher res. EVF
Z6: XQD. R6: SDXC.
R6: the great DPAF for video and stills. Z6: does not.

Whether you find the $700 price difference worth all that or not, is upto you of couse.
