Just a warning to those thinking the R6 will act like the R fo HDMI outputs -- I used my R through HDMI with a capture card for Zoom and was able to see the output and Q stats on the LCD, clean output through the HDMI, and record onto the SD card all at the same time. This isn't possible on the R6. You can either have HDMI only output with stats based on info button (no LCD screen) and record, or output to LCD with stats and clean HDMI, but no recording... Why did they do this? Even if recording is limited to 1080p/30 it's a useful option...

Doesn't the monitor have a repeater output, or an internal recorder. If not, then you may want one that does.

It doesn't have an output.
The thing is I don't wana spend another 400$ for the recording capabilities and that's priced before SSD's and its readers.
I just wanted It for a display / all the other features to benefit from using an external monitor. For people who even want the most basic Amazon field monitor.. they won't even get to enjoy the benefits of using one.
Really blows. I'm not sure if canon did this because of it's overheating and it's limitations. But even if they allowed this to work on all the 1080P settings id be happy.
can't decide if I want to keep the monitor now or return it lol. Man!! 😞
I really hope they unlock this on the camera... I wonder if the R5 Is the same.

Most of the complaints about Canon's recent cameras are more like a comedy of errors. It's kind of like a real life SNL skit... next thing you know Canon cameras won't take pictures at all.
"OMG I bought the R6 but when I press the shutter button nothing happenes!"
"Did you put a battery in the camera?"
"Oh, this thing takes batteries?? LOL. My Sony runs on the power of my delusions alone!! Beat that Canon!!"
