This week, we saw some exciting new releases from Canon: the EOS R6 III and the RF 45mm F1.2 STM lens. The latest iteration of the R6 may appear to be a relatively small update on paper, but the changes that Canon implemented are ones that actually make a difference. That includes a new sensor with faster readout and improved video capture. And while the camera is certainly compelling, we think the lens is just as interesting. It’s remarkably small and affordable for being an F1.2 lens, after all.
In our roundtable discussion this week, Dale Baskin, Richard Butler, Mitchell Clark, and Abby Ferguson sat down to discuss Canon’s latest camera and how it compares to the competition. Of course, we don’t leave out the lens, either, with Richard surprising us by revealing just how low the price is.
If you want to learn more about the Canon EOS R6 III, check out our initial review or our first look video. Or, if you’re interested in the lens, you can learn more in a separate article and a hands-on video.
Our DPREVIEW Tribute:
After nearly 25 years of operation, DPReview closed on 10 April 2023. This difficult decision was part of the annual operating plan review that parent company, Amazon, shared earlier this year.
Over the course of 25 years, DP Review built up a reputation as being one of the most informative places to go for information about that new camera or lens you’re after. DP Review began as an independent reviews site based in the UK in 1998, the brainchild of Philip and Joanna Askey, but it was eventually purchased by Amazon in 2007 and relocated over to Seattle in the USA in 2010.
Cheers DPReview – thanks for the great work and content that guided photographers, videographers and techno junkies the world over!
