Canon EOS R6 Mark III: 33MP Sensor & 7K RAW Recording
Canon has introduced the new EOS R6 Mark III, a camera that builds upon the design and capabilities of the R6 Mark II, which debuted a little over three years ago. The original R6 was first released in July 2020.
The EOS R6 Mark III shares many core features and operational characteristics with the Canon EOS C50 but is crafted in a body more optimized for still photography. Despite its emphasis on stills, the camera retains powerful video capabilities that make it a solid hybrid option.
Video and Sensor Specifications
- 7K Open Gate Internal RAW recording up to 30p
- 4K recording up to 120p
- 2K recording up to 180p
The camera employs a 32MP full-frame sensor with a 3:2 aspect ratio, identical to that used in the Canon EOS C50. In contrast, the previous EOS R6 Mark II utilized a 24.2MP CMOS sensor. The new sensor, however, does not incorporate Dual Gain Output (DGO) or a back-illuminated stacked CMOS design, as seen in Canon’s C80, C400, or R3 models.
“It’s interesting that the R6 Mark III and C50 don’t use a back-illuminated stacked sensor like the C80, C400, and R3.”
Many manufacturers are now opting for back-illuminated stacked CMOS sensors due to their enhanced autofocus performance, but Canon has chosen a different path for the R6 Mark III.
Processor and Performance
The EOS R6 Mark III integrates the DIGIC DV 7 processor, the same powerful image engine featured in Canon’s C50, C80, C400, C500 Mark II, and C300 Mark III. This processor supports the camera’s high data throughput and ensures consistent image quality across both photo and video modes.
Summary
The Canon EOS R6 Mark III advances the R6 series with a 32MP sensor and refined video functionality, positioning it as a strong hybrid camera for professionals and enthusiasts.
Author’s summary: Canon elevates its hybrid camera line with the R6 Mark III, uniting a 32MP sensor, 7K RAW recording, and DIGIC DV 7 processing for both creative flexibility and speed.
