Canon EOS R6 Mark III is a refined hybrid camera with one drawback

The Canon R6 Mark III upgrades to a 33MP sensor and expands video tools (including 7K open-gate), while keeping a familiar body and refined controls; it is priced above the Mark II and sits amid strong competition from Nikon, Sony and Panasonic.

The Canon EOS R6 Mark III is the brand's new enthusiast-level hybrid camera and the successor to the R6 II. It introduces a 33MP sensor and a wider set of video features, including 7K open-gate recording. The body remains largely similar to the previous model, with subtle button and dial tweaks and expanded customization. The reviewer describes the camera as refined and reliable for both stills and video. Key facts: - Announced November 6, 2025. - Body-only price listed at $2,799 / £2,799.99 / AU$4,199.95; the R6 II remains available at a lower list price. - Sensor: 33MP (up from 24MP) and video options that include 7K open-gate and oversampled 4K up to 120p, plus support for Cinema Raw and Clog profiles. - Burst and storage: up to 40fps e-shutter (12fps mechanical); one CFexpress Type B slot and one UHS-II SD slot; full-size HDMI port. - Power and recording limits: uses the LP-E6P battery (rated 270 shots with the viewfinder, 510 with the rear screen) and lacks an internal fan, which restricts continuous recording times in the heavier open-gate/7K modes. - Autofocus and handling: reviewer notes reliable subject detection and a Registered People Priority mode, with a few rare misses in very challenging low-light or high-contrast cases. Summary: The review presents the R6 Mark III as a carefully improved hybrid that raises resolution and broadens the video toolkit while preserving Canon's familiar ergonomics. Its higher price than the Mark II and the presence of strong rivals mean its position in the market is less clear-cut. Undetermined at this time.
