Canon is announcing the EOS R6 Mark III camera, its latest jack-of-all-trades full-frame mirrorless exemplary for some stills and video. The caller camera has a 32.5-megapixel sensor, improved autofocus, up to 7K video recording, and a caller dual-card statement with a faster CFexpress Type B slot. It’s acceptable to motorboat November 25th and volition merchantability body-only for $2,799 arsenic good arsenic successful kits with the RF 24-105mm STM lens oregon RF 24-105mm L lens for $3,149 and $4,049, respectively.
The R6 enactment is aimed astatine a wider acceptable of users who whitethorn not request the higher 45 megapixels of the pricier EOS R5 Mark II oregon privation to walk good implicit $4,000 for the assemblage alone. But the R6 Mark III seems nary slouch present that it’s upping the res from 24 megapixels successful the last-gen exemplary to 32.5 megapixels. The Mark III tin besides seizure higher-quality video up to 4K / 120p and 7K / 60p RAW, including enactment for afloat corner-to-corner unfastened gross filming for other cropping flexibility.
There are much gamma settings connected connection arsenic well, with Canon’s Log 2 mode and customized looks. But immoderate of the astir adjuvant functional changes for video shooters whitethorn beryllium the inclusion of a tally lamp to marque it evident from afar erstwhile you’re filming and the determination from a Micro HDMI larboard to a full-size Type A HDMI. As for the caller camera’s autofocus system, you tin present registry a person’s look to guarantee it prioritizes them erstwhile continuously tracking.
One alteration that whitethorn polarize immoderate is Canon’s determination from dual SD paper slots connected the R6 Mark II to an asymmetrical setup connected the Mark III, with 1 CFexpress Type B and 1 SD. CFexpress tin execute faster speeds, and that’s apt successful portion liable for the R6 Mark III’s quality to seizure longer bursts of images portion maintaining the aforesaid shooting speeds arsenic the last-gen exemplary (12 fps with the mechanical shutter oregon 40 fps electronic), adjacent astatine its higher resolution. But CFexpress cards typically outgo more, and managing aggregate paper formats is much cumbersome. Unlike CFexpress Type A, Type B paper slots can’t beryllium acceptable up to besides instrumentality an SD paper — similar you find successful Sony cameras with their combo slots.
Launching alongside the EOS R6 Mark III, Canon has an absorbing caller lens: the RF 45mm f/1.2 STM. It’s a compact modular premier lens with a precise agleam maximum aperture for capturing shots successful debased airy and with precise shallow extent of field. It’s besides 1 of the astir affordable f/1.2 lenses I’ve ever heard of, priced astatine $469.99 and estimated to vessel successful aboriginal December. Full-frame-compatible autofocusing lenses with f/1.2 apertures usually tally good northbound of $1,500, adjacent from 3rd parties similar Sigma, truthful seeing 1 from Canon for nether $500 is beauteous wild.
It’s not an L lens, though, truthful it isn’t upwind sealed, and you’ll person to wage an further $59.99 for a lens hood. And portion being briefed connected it, Canon USA typical Drew MacCallum described the lens arsenic not being for the astir scrupulous of pixel peepers, owed to its reliance connected immoderate in-camera corrections to enactment its representation rendering and assistance compensate for its little cost. Regardless, arsenic idiosyncratic whose favourite lens is simply a Sony FE 50mm f/1.2, I’d emotion to spot affordable f/1.2 lenses go a trend.
