Canon has announced a new EOS R6 V mirrorless camera, a 32.5-megapixel camera with 7K video. It’s the first full-frame EOS camera to carry the V moniker, signifying that it’s designed primarily for video capture. The R6 V is based on the EOS R6 Mark III, but it eschews features like a viewfinder and a mechanical shutter in favor of a more compact size and active cooling with a fan. It will cost $2,499 for the body only ($300 less than the R6 Mark III) when it launches at the end of June.
The R6 V’s full-frame sensor is claimed to have over 15 stops of dynamic range, and it can record 7K RAW footage or 4K video (from oversampled 7K) at up to 60p. Standard uncropped 4K video can go up to 120p, and 2K filming supports a higher 180p frame rate. The R6 V also supports open gate 3:2 filming for full corner-to-corner sensor coverage, allowing more versatility for cropping in post-production.
