What We Like
+32.5MP sensor offers significant resolution increase from Mark II, enabling larger prints and better cropping flexibility
+Exceptional 40 fps continuous shooting with 20-frame pre-continuous buffer captures fleeting moments before pressing the shutter
+Industry-leading 8.5-stop in-body image stabilization enables impressive handheld video and creative long-exposure stills
+Versatile 7K RAW video recording (60p internal, 30p Open Gate) with 4K 120fps provides cinema-grade capabilities
+Sticky autofocus with Register People Priority tracks subjects reliably down to EV -6.5 in challenging light

Worth Knowing
−Canon RF mount ecosystem limits autofocus lenses to Canon-only options, no third-party AF lens alternatives
−Some control dials feel plasticky and fragile compared to the robust magnesium body
−Vari-angle screen rotates side-to-side only, lacking tilt-up capability available on some competing models
−Older LP-E6N/LP-E6NH batteries lose wireless connectivity and some features; camera requires new LP-E6P battery for full functionality

Read our notes on general
The Canon EOS R6 Mark III represents a major leap forward for Canon's mid-range full-frame mirrorless line, jumping from 24MP to a 32.5MP sensor while adding a CFexpress Type B slot, 8.5-stop IBIS, and vastly improved video capabilities including 7K 60p RAW and oversampled 4K 120p. Built to be the high-performance all-arounder for creatives who work in both photo and video, the Canon EOS R6 Mark III deftly combines an array of hybrid capabilities, upgraded imaging, and revised handling and design to suit shooters working in a wide variety of scenarios. If you're buying a full-frame Canon R-series camera and want to use autofocus lenses, you are limited to the offerings that Canon makes, though photographers will enjoy improved autofocusing capabilities, a 32.5-megapixel sensor, capable weather-resistance.
