Canon EOS R6 Mark III

For action and wildlife photography, the camera delivers a maximum mechanical shutter speed of 8,000 1/s and continuous shooting at 12 fps mechanically. Switching to the electronic shutter boosts continuous shooting to 40 fps, supported by a 13.2 ms sensor readout speed.

Pre-burst capture duration gives you a 0.5 s window, which works only in the 40 fps electronic-shutter mode and is stated by Canon as up to 20 frames. Autofocus subject detection covers human, animal, bird, car, train, airplane, and motorcycle, though car detection is specifically tuned for racing cars per Canon.

Videographers get robust options with a maximum video resolution of 7K available only in RAW Video mode, while standard MP4 recording tops out at 4K. Internal raw video recording is supported alongside video codecs including H.264, HEVC, XF-AVC, and XF-HEVC at 10-bit color depth with log profile support.

For high frame rates, 4K max frame rate reaches 119.9 fps overall, while 4K max frame rate in full width hits 120 fps using the full width but without oversampling; oversampled 4K tops out at 60p. Canon claims a video dynamic range (log) of 15+ stops in its Canon Log profiles, representing a manufacturer claim rather than a lab measurement.

Weighing 699 g with dimensions of 138.4 mm wide, 98.4 mm high, and 88.4 mm deep, the body features dust and drip resistant weather sealing and two memory card slots. In-body image stabilization offers up to 8.5 stops, representing Canon's best-case center rating with certain RF lenses, while peripheral and other lenses see less down to 7.5 stops.

Power and connectivity include a battery life of 620 shots based on CIPA's rating using the rear LCD at 23°C with real-world results varying. USB-C charging and power delivery is supported, though it requires a capable USB-PD source such as Canon's PD-E2 since not every power bank works. The camera operates down to a minimum operating temperature of 0 °C and includes a headphone port and a full-size HDMI port type.
