Canon EOS R6 V vs Sony a7 V
The Canon EOS R6 V and the Sony a7 V side by side, computed from this guide's catalogue.
Which to pick
Pick the Sony a7 V if you want more lenses made for it in this guide (278 against 99). On these specs the Canon EOS R6 V has no clear advantage: choose it if the price, the handling or a lens you own decides it. If you already own Canon RF or Sony E lenses, the camera on that mount saves you buying them again.
