Canon EOS R6 Mark III

Editor's Choice – A powerhouse of features and performance from this versatile hybrid camera

The Canon EOS R6 Mark III is a powerful camera that slots between the existing R6 Mark II and R5 Mark II. The major upgrade over its predecessor is a higher resolution sensor, roughly matching the photo resolution of Sony’s A7 IV and V while supporting higher resolution video than both Sonys or the R6 II. The top burst speeds may remain 12 or 40fps with the mechanical or electronic shutters, but there’s now a much more practical pre-burst mode and the chance to clear the buffer faster with a CF Express card. Event, wedding and sports photographers will also love the ability to register key faces to give them priority over others in group compositions. Videographers get uncropped and oversampled 4k up to 60p, uncropped 4k 120, full-size HDMI, and the chance to internally record 7k RAW up to 60p or Open Gate video up to 30p that uses the full sensor height. Arguably the biggest downsides are an unstacked sensor and a lack of vents or cooling options, so you’ll need to watch out for potential skewing and limited recording times in the more demanding video modes. I say potential as until I test a final sample, I can’t say for sure how it’ll look or how long it’ll record. Check back soon for my in-depth review and comparisons against Sony’s A7 V!

The EOS R6 III offers an excellent shooting experience for all types of still photography and videography.
