Speaking of performance, you can’t talk about an EOS R camera without mentioning speed. Like the R6 Mark II, the Mark III captures up to 40-fps while in continuous shooting modes, but new to the camera is 20-fps pre-continuous shooting. This gives the user the ability to capture images for up to 0.5 seconds before the shutter is completely pressed. This is perfect for sports and bird photography.
Canon has also given the camera a boost by adding a CF-Express type B slot to the camera in place of one of the traditional SD card slots sported by its predecessor. This feature means the camera can clear its buffer and support higher resolution video as well, and you can probably already guess where this is going.
Video shooters will be pleased to hear that the R6 Mark III can now shoot internally recorded 7K video at 59.94p in 12-bit Canon RAW Light Movie. It also adds open gate 7K 30 fps recording for greater cropping versatility in post-production. For creative effect, users are also able to record high frame rate of 4K video at 120 fps, and Full HD video at 180 fps.
It doesn’t stop there. The In-body stabilization system has been updated as well with 8.5 stops (center) and 7.5 stops (periphery) of control. This allows user to shoot in low light with confidence at nearly any shutter speed.
Canon has delivered yet another stellar member to the EOS R family. The R6 Mark III is built to deliver exceptional detail at high speeds and in some of the toughest conditions. If you’ve been waiting for a true jack of all trades, the wait is over.
