For the serious and professional photographer
Canon EOS R6
A camera that I would highly recommend for fellow serious and professional photographers to get (for themselves or for their loved ones who are into serious or into professional photography!), the Canon EOS R6!

Powered by the new DIGIC X image processor, the electronic shutter in the EOS R6 is capable of continuous shooting speed of up to 20fps at full resolution, even with AF and AE tracking. The mechanical shutter is able to shoot at a continuous shooting speed of 12fps as well, placing the R6 among the fastest full-frame mirrorless cameras in the market.
The R6 also features an upgrade AF system that can detect and track the eyes of birds. The Dual Pixel CMOS AF II system carries improved human head detection capabilities which promises better tracking of subjects’ heads in scenes with fast and intense action; as well as animal detection AF, which can track the eyes, face and body of dogs, cats and even birds.
