Canon optimises vertical recording with new EOS R6 V camera

There is no shortage of cameras these days, including the ones attached to the rectangular slabs we carry in our pockets all day. For something a little more heavy-duty, there’s little better feeling than shooting with a DSLR. To give creators another camera option, Canon has announced the EOS R6 V.

Positioned between the EOS R6 Mark III and the EOS C50, Canon’s new $3,599 camera is considered a step up from its entry-level range. It’s designed to be a more versatile video-ready DSLR before you start spending more on Canon’s Cinema cameras.

Looking at the specs of the Canon EOS R6 V, it’s clear that this is a video camera, first and foremost. Its sensor supports up to 7K RAW footage at 60p, with the option of 4K at 120p for slow-motion footage. A full-frame camera, the EOS R6 V also enables open gate recording, using the sensor’s full width, meaning you can edit both 16:9 and 9:16 videos using the same footage.

This flexibility between horizontal and vertical video also extends to the camera’s interface. The screen adapts to vertical recording, with a front-positioned recording button to help creators record themselves. Canon also made sure the camera is compatible with the brand’s vertical tripod grip, including a1/4-inch screw mount.

There’s also a built-in fan, helping keep the camera cool during longer recording sessions. In-body image stabilisation is also included, providing a steady hand while shooting on the go.

Alongside the Canon EOS R6 V is a new kit lens: the RF 20-50mm f/4L IS USM PZ. Built with an internal power zoom, optical image stabilisation, and a f/4 aperture at all focal lengths, it’s made to complement Canon’s latest video-first camera.

Canon EOS R6 V price and release date

By itself, the lens costs $2,199 in Australia. When bundled with the EOS R6 V, the package costs $5,399. As a limited-time-launch promotion, the camera, plus the kit lens bundle, comes with a set of Rode Wireless Go Gen 3 microphones, which normally costs $340 when bought separately.

Expect to see Canon’s new creator-centric camera arrive in Australia by the middle of June.
