Dual card slots

Quality meets performance

With a 32.5MP full-frame sensor, the EOS R6 Mark III hits the resolution sweet spot with exceptional detail and optimised file sizes for lighter storage. In-camera crop modes extend your reach for wildlife and sports, and up to 8.5 stops3 of stabilisation ensures steady handheld stills and video. Plus, it offers excellent low light performance thanks to an ISO range up to 64,000.

SMOOTH AND STEADY

In demanding shooting scenarios, you can rely on In-Body Image Stabilisation for steady stills and motion – even at slower shutter speeds, longer focal lengths, and without a gimbal. Combine it with your lens’ Optical IS for powerful 5-axis correction, plus add another layer of stability with Movie Digital IS, which even locks onto your subject to keep it steady in the frame.
