Canon has released the EOS R6 Mark III camera and RF 45mm F1.2 STM prime lens – both designed for storytellers looking to elevate their creativity.
EOS R6 Mark III
The EOS R6 Mark III is a powerful stills camera with advanced filmmaking features, offering exceptional quality and control for photographers covering a range of subjects from sports and wildlife to weddings and portraits. Positioned above the EOS R6 Mark II, the EOS R6 Mark III offers significant upgrades in resolution, tracking, and connectivity offering additional choice alongside the existing EOS R5 and EOS R6 models.
The EOS R6 Mark III delivers an exceptional balance of resolution, speed and reliability – making it a versatile tool for a wide range of photography styles. Featuring a newly developed 32.5 megapixel full frame sensor and up to 40fps continuous shooting with the electronic shutter it captures more detail than the EOS R6 Mark II while maintaining impressive speed. With an expanded buffer capable of handling up to 150 RAW images in a single burst (when using CFexpress cards), intelligent autofocus tracking, and robust filmmaking features, the EOS R6 Mark III is built for action. Its customisable controls and weather-resistant body make it a resilient and adaptable camera that fits seamlessly into any creative workflow – from sports and wildlife to events, landscapes and portraits. However, it’s only weather resistant if the shutters are closed, and all covers should be used in dusty or wet conditions.
RF 45mm F1.2 STM
Joining the lineup is the RF 45mm F1.2 STM, Canon’s lightest f/1.2 RF lens at just 346g. The lens is ultra-fast, features smooth autofocus and introduces Canon’s widest aperture to the enthusiast range for the first time, offering excellent low-light performance and greater creativity. It is designed for photographers seeking depth of field control and outstanding creative results.
The RF 45mm F1.2 STM marks several firsts, introducing Canon’s first f/1.2 aperture non-professional RF lens, weighing under 350g and offering autofocus at an accessible price point. Positioned within the enthusiast RF lens range, it is designed to inspire creative experimentation with beautifully shallow depth of field and expressive low-light imagery. Until now, the super-fast f/1.2 aperture was exclusive to lenses costing much more, with users now able to explore cinematic storytelling, lifestyle shoots and portraits with stunning clarity and mood. Canon’s STM AF technology ensures subjects stay sharp, allowing photographers to focus on their vision.
