With 7K Raw open gate recording, active cooling but no viewfinder, the Canon EOS R6 V is aimed at next-gen video shooters The creator’s EOS
anon’s £2400∕$2499 EOS R6 V has been designed from the ground up as a camera that prioritises filmmaking, streaming and creator workflows. It’s Canon’s answer to cameras such as the Sony ZV-E1
and full-frame Nikon ZR. At its core sits the same 32.5-megapixel full-frame sensor used in the EOS R6 Mark III and Cinema EOS C50, paired with Canon’s Digic X processor. But the way Canon has packaged that technology is what makes the EOS R6 V interesting. The camera completely ditches the electronic viewfinder. For many modern creators who shoot using rear screens, monitors or gimbals, it makes perfect sense. Removing the EVF has allowed Canon to build a smaller body while creating room for active cooling – arguably the camera’s biggest advantage. An internal fan allows much longer recording times, especially in 7K and 4K high-frame-rate modes. Canon claims effectively unlimited recording in many formats when cooling is enabled. The EOS R6 V shoots internal 7K Raw up to 60p, as well as open gate 7K using the full sensor area so footage can easily be reframed for horizontal, vertical or square delivery. There’s also oversampled 4K up to 60p, uncropped 4K∕120p slow motion and Full HD up to 180fps. Canon Log 2 and Canon Log 3 are included for serious grading workflows, while Raw output over HDMI gives even more flexibility. Autofocus remains one of Canon’s strongest assets. Dual Pixel CMOS AF II with subject recognition tracks humans, animals and vehicles. Face and eye tracking during video is particularly
