Canon EOS R6 Mark III
Our Verdict
Canon's refined hybrid powerhouse pairs a new 32.5MP sensor with 7K raw video, 40fps bursts and 8.5-stop IBIS in a weather-sealed body.
Why it's number one: Top marks for autofocus and features and joint top for image quality, a 4.75 out of 5 average from two reviews at TechRadar and Tom's Guide, but only a 3.6-star Amazon rating from 8 owners on a young listing.
The Canon EOS R6 Mark III is a significant upgrade over the Mark II, bumping the sensor to 32.5MP and adding 7K open-gate raw video recording - a first at this price point. The Dual Pixel CMOS AF II system with deep-learning subject detection is scarily accurate, locking onto people, animals and vehicles with minimal fuss. Burst shooting remains at 40fps with the electronic shutter, and the 8.5-stop in-body stabilisation is among the best available. Canon's colour science continues to be a major draw, producing gorgeous skin tones and vibrant landscapes straight out of camera. With dual card slots (CFexpress Type B and SD UHS-II) and robust weather sealing, this is a serious tool for working photographers and videographers alike.
