Both the R5 and R6 incorporate in-body IS (IBIS), which in turn works in conjunction with the lens IS. But even if the lens does not have IS, it still benefits from the body IS. Keep in mind that if you have some of the Canon L lenses, they work quite well with the R, R5, and R6. If you are planning to buy one of these cameras, it would be a good idea to order the EF-R adapter ahead of time.

I have a bunch of Canon L glass (Mostly various telephoto primes and tele zooms), plus some pretty decent Canon non-L EF glass and a few non-Canon EF lenses, such as the Sigma 150-600.
Good Idea since they all seem to be on back order right now (probably sitting on a ship off the CA coast). This is the one I would probably get: Canon Control Ring Mount Adaptor EF-RF
That's the one I have. I shopped around for a month and finally found one at Samy's Camera in CA. Had to cancel the backordered one at B&H, then

There now follows a series of mundane shots from my lazy person's Canon Powershot G3 X.
Apologies but I am really surprised that during my testing the camera has surpassed my expectations with its 1" sensor and sharp lens.
330mm @ f/5.6

Those 1” sensors are a pretty big step up from the 1/2.3” found in most bridges. The LUMIX FZ1000 is another 1” sensor bridge, and while it’s not small, it’s pretty light and delivers some pretty solid results as well. Just don’t start talking down to us “Pro” camera users.There now follows a series of mundane shots from my lazy person's Canon Powershot G3 X.

When a couple of years ago I bought the Sony RX10 IV, I didn't have high expectations of this "bridge" camera, particularly because it had just the 1" sensor and a rather surprising range of 24-600mm (35mm equivalent). I liked it immediately, though, as it feels and handles like a small DSLR or mirrorless ILC, and when I came home from the trip for which I'd specifically purchased it I found myself using it more and more, really amazed at some of the images I was getting with it. Sure, it wasn't the same as shooting with either an APS-C or FF DSLR or mirrorless camera, but it could do really well under certain conditions, especially good lighting. It is a dandy travel camera (although of course I haven't done much of that in the last two years or so) and it continues to be very useful around home, particularly when at times I see some action happening out on the lake and grab that camera off a table and go running out to the deck to start shooting.....

I bought it (2nd hand) to replace the FZ1000 that I gave to my daughter, and the usefulness of which was as a grab camera. I think it actually surpasses the FZ in output quality, although to get the clip on EVF cost me half as much again as the camera itself.
It's also more portable than either the FZ1000 or RX10 and might prove useful when I don't want to take the whole Nikon kit out. That Sigma 50-500mm is a marvellous lens on my Z 50 but quite a handful to hold up for long periods, and as the Powershot extends to 600mm that's why I call it my lazy person's camera

Ah, it was the camera, was it? Good that you found out and got a better one
Full frame sensor, isn't it?
Cheers
Hugh
Yes, definitely full frame. ?Ah, it was the camera, was it? Good that you found out and got a better one

The camera store where I bought it was very gracious. They have a 14 day return policy and a 100 day warranty on used gear. I was about a couple weeks past the warranty by the time I developed and had scans back; three rolls from the summer. Then I did another roll after changing some settings and waiting about a week for those scans, so I was well past warranty when I went back to the store. After pleading my case, the man helping me said they'd do a test roll, but I could tell he really didn't believe me. Soon the store owner got involved because it seemed like such an outlier to have focus so bad on a camera, and after he shot two rolls and experienced the same issues, he offered me store credit, which I happily agreed to. They had another F100 in stock and it was priced a good deal more than the one I had originally bought but he discounted it a bit for me, so in the end it was only $100 more, and this second one works just like all the reviews I've ever read of this camera. ? And now I don't feel crazy, because I really did feel crazy looking at the rolls from the original camera.
Wouldn't that be fun!!! I mean it has super specs, but other than shooting my dog, I just can't envision needing that kind of camera. But if Santa showed up with one (which he won't), I certainly wouldn't turn it away. If I got the Z9 I'd need a new computer too, and then the whole thing just sort of snowballs. I super love the cameras I have now. Including my film camera. ?What, no Z9?
