The Canon EOS R6 Mark III camera combines high-resolution imaging, advanced video capabilities, and reliable design to empower hybrid creators.

The EOS R6 Mark III camera builds, the company says, “on Canon’s renowned 5-series and 1-series legacy, delivering pro-level hybrid performance for advanced photographers, videographers, content creators, and hybrid enthusiasts shooting across portraits, events, wildlife, sports, and social media production. The RF45mm F1.2 STM lens introduces a compact, lightweight prime optic with outstanding f/1.2 performance, ideal for everyday shooting and creative expression.”

Key features of the new Canon EOS R6 Mark III  include:

• 32.5-megapixel full-frame sensor supporting up to 40fps electronic shutter shooting with 20 frames of pre-continuous shooting, and mechanical shutter/electronic first curtain at up to 12fps.
• CFexpress type B + SD card for improved hybrid shooting performance.
• Advanced video features including 7K 59.94p RAW Light recording, 4K 119.8p and Slow and Fast motion mode, and 7K 30p “Open Gate” video for increased vertical resolution, compositional flexibility, and post-production stabilization.
• Oversampled 4K 60p/30p recording (with 7K oversampling for 30p), Canon Log 2 with up to15 stops of dynamic range, waveform monitoring, Register People Priority and Focus Accel/Decel algorithms inspired by Cinema EOS C400 and C80 cameras for natural, professional autofocus behavior. As well as white balance and operational improvements when recording video.

This camera offers, Canon adds, “versatility for professionals and enthusiasts, from portrait, wedding and event shooters to birding and landscape photographers and emerging videographers transitioning from smartphones.”

Canon also announced a new lens, the Canon RF45mm F1.2 STM, designed to redefine compact f/1.2 prime performance. The RF45mm F1.2 STM is a 45mm standard prime lens designed for natural perspectives close to human vision, with a wider angle than traditional 50mm options. It’s lightweight (approx. 346g) and compact build makes it easy to handle for portraits, snapshots, landscapes, and more.

Key features of the Canon RF45mm F1.2 STM include:

• Wide f/1.2 aperture enabled by innovative PMo aspherical lenses and gear-type STM with magnetic detection, reducing size and weight compared to larger f/1.2 lenses
• Rich, three-dimensional bokeh with nine aperture blades for smooth, circular blur; digital lens optimizer corrects distortions for outstanding rendering
• Fixed rear-lens focusing system minimizes image quality shifts across distances; aperture range (f/1.2 to f/16) allows flexible depth control, faster shutters, and low-ISO shooting
• Enhanced compactness via fixed-length barrel and minimum focusing distance, delivering value and reliability for diverse applications

The Canon EOS R6 Mark III camera body only and kits with either the Canon RF24-105 F4 L IS USM, the RF24-105 F4-7.1 IS STM USM lens, or the Stop Motion Animation Firmware are expected to be available in November 2025, for an estimated retail price of $2,799.00, $4,049.00, $3,149.00 and $2,899.00 respectively. The RF45mm F1.2 STM lens is expected to be available in December 2025, for an estimated retail price of $469.99.
