Today, Canon has announced the launch of the EOS R6 Mark III full-frame mirrorless camera, building on the company’s 5-series and 1-series legacy.
Designed to deliver pro-level performance for advanced photographers, videographers, content creators and hybrid enthusiasts, the R6 III is ideal for shooting everything from portraits and wildlife to events and social media production.
Packing a 32.5MP full-frame sensor, the EOS R6 Mark III combines powerful high-res imaging, supporting up to 40 fps electronic shutter shooting and mechanical shutter/electronic first curtain at up to 12 fps.
Advanced video features include 7K 59.94p RAW Light recording, 4K 119.8p with slow and fast motion mode, plus 7K 30p open-gate video.
It’s also capable of oversampled 4K 60p/30p recording (with 7K oversampling for 30p), plus Canon Log 2 with up to 15 stops of dynamic range, waveform monitoring, as well as white balance and operational improvements when recording video.
In a clever departure from its immediate predecessor, the R6 Mark III accepts both CFexpress Type B and SD memory cards, giving hybrid users greater latitude and more flexible file storage options.
With the new EOS R6 Mark III, Canon has created an ideal all-around hybrid camera that will appeal to a broad swath of savvy shooters, from advanced amateurs to professional photographers and beyond.
