Canon unveils the EOS R6 Mark III, a high-end full-frame mirrorless hybrid with a 32.5‑MP sensor, offering 7K RAW Light internal recording, open-gate 7K at 30p, 4K up to 119.8p, and up to 40fps electronic or 12fps mechanical shooting, plus a 20-frame pre-capture for fast action.

A new compact RF 45mm f/1.2 STM prime accompanies the body, delivering bright f/1.2 aperture with STM focus, a customizable control ring, and a PMo aspheric element to reduce aberrations.

Pricing and availability place US body-only at $2,799, with RF 24–105mm kit options at $3,149 and $4,049, with shipping expected to begin in November 2025.

Ergonomics get upgrades, including a full-size HDMI Type-A, a front tally lamp, and a Register People Priority AF feature for better subject tracking in crowded scenes.

Early buyers span concert photographers, documentary crews, music video producers, streamers, and live event videographers who will benefit from native RAW and extended recording times.

Ports include a dual-card setup with CFexpress Type B and SD UHS-II, full-size HDMI, and a front tally lamp; the asymmetric card layout supports high-bit-rate workflows.

Autofocus gains include up to ten stored face profiles, stronger mobility for documentary work, and improved thermal management enabling roughly 50 minutes of continuous 7K recording.

Workflow improvements feature faster wireless transfers (5 GHz Wi‑Fi and Bluetooth 5.1), redesigned controls, dual aspect markers for multi‑platform framing, and support for Pro-level tools.

A shift from dual SD to one CFexpress and one SD slot may divide users due to higher cost and the complexity of managing two formats.

Autofocus includes Register People Priority with up to ten people, aiding sports and wedding photography.

Open-gate capability uses the full sensor for reframing after the shot and vertical crops, with two memory slots supporting flexible workflows.
