The Canon EOS R6 Mark III is designed for photographers and filmmakers who demand both exceptional still image quality and advanced video performance. Sitting above the EOS R6 Mark II in Canon's line-up, it introduces significant improvements in resolution, subject tracking and connectivity, offering an exciting new choice alongside the renowned EOS R5 and existing R6 models. Whether you photograph fast-moving sports and wildlife or specialise in weddings and portraiture, the EOS R6 Mark III provides outstanding flexibility and creative control.
At the heart of the camera is a 32.5-megapixel full-frame sensor that strikes an ideal balance between fine detail and manageable file sizes. This increased resolution gives your images impressive clarity, and when paired with Canon's in-camera crop modes, it effectively extends your reach, perfect for wildlife and sports where every extra millimetre counts. Up to 8.5 stops of image stabilisation allow you to shoot handheld with remarkable confidence, producing crisp stills and smooth video footage even in challenging conditions. Low-light performance remains superb thanks to an ISO range that reaches up to 64,000, allowing you to keep working long after the sun has set.
Speed is where the EOS R6 Mark III truly stands out. Capable of a rapid 40 frames per second using the electronic shutter, the camera can keep pace with even the most unpredictable action. When paired with a CFexpress card, the enlarged buffer now handles up to 150 RAW files in a single burst, double the capacity of the R6 Mark II, and achieved at a higher resolution. For those moments that unfold without warning, pre-continuous shooting mode captures 20 frames before the shutter is fully pressed, giving you images that would otherwise be impossible to record.
Filmmakers will find the EOS R6 Mark III equally compelling. It is capable of recording high-quality 7K RAW footage up to 60p, and produces beautifully detailed, oversampled 4K 60p with the option for smooth slow motion. Open Gate recording lets you use the full vertical height of the sensor, making it easier to create video optimised for multiple platforms, whether cinematic widescreen or vertical formats for social media. Professional workflow tools are built in as standard, including waveform monitoring, proxy file support, metadata tagging, a full-size HDMI output and four-channel audio recording.
Canon has also refined the handling and usability of this model to support demanding professional workflows. A redesigned control tab allows the most important settings to be arranged to suit your shooting style, helping you work quicker with fewer distractions. The body is built to withstand harsh conditions, with weather-resistant sealing and a long-lasting battery that ensures the camera keeps performing regardless of the environment.
Flexible storage options further streamline your workflow, with two card slots offering full support for CFexpress Type B alongside UHS-II SD. This allows you to tailor the camera to your needs, whether that means relay recording for longer shoots, proxy movie recording, or keeping stills and video files on separate cards for easy organisation. Built-in wireless connectivity, including 5GHz Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.1, enables quick and secure transfer to compatible devices, perfect for on-location sharing or fast delivery to clients.
Canon's new Open Gate functionality takes full advantage of the entire image sensor, capturing footage at its maximum resolution without cropping to standard aspect ratios. With more image data available, creators have greater flexibility when reframing in post-production and can easily adapt the same footage for different formats such as 16:9, 9:16 or 1:1. It also enhances anamorphic shooting, making it possible to capture a wider cinematic field of view.
Another standout feature is Register People Priority AF. This clever autofocus function allows you to register and prioritise specific faces within a scene. Up to one hundred faces can be stored, with ten assigned as top priority. Once set, the camera automatically identifies and tracks those individuals in order of importance, ensuring the most critical subjects remain in perfect focus, a valuable advantage during weddings, press events or any situation where multiple people are competing for attention.
