NEW YORK, May 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — B&H is pleased to introduce the Canon EOS R6V, a new full-frame RF-mount camera capable of 7K open gate recording, active cooling, 5-axis in-body stabilization, and Dual Pixel CMOS Autofocus II. This compact video-forward body is ideal for content creation, streaming, podcasting, and a host of other modern production scenarios. Releasing alongside the EOS R6V is a new RF 20-50mm f/4 L IS USM Power Zoom lens that weighs less than a pound and can be controlled remotely.

The EOS R6V has the same 7K 32.5 MP CMOS sensor seen in the R6 III, now with an expanded suite of recording formats. Record in 7K Canon RAW 3:2 open gate at a resolution of 6960 x 4640, or 4K from the oversampled 7K readout. There’s also uncropped 4K120p and 2K180p, alongside ATOMOS 7K Raw recording via HDMI. Standard Canon RAW is available at up to 7K30p in open gate, while 7K60p is capped at RAW Light and 16×9. Open gate resolution slightly drops to 6912 x 4608 when shooting in MP4. The camera should be able to capture 15 stops of dynamic range when shooting in Canon Log 2.

The Canon R6V camera is dust and water resistant, and features both a CFexpress Type B and an SD card slot for redundancy, sub-recording, or proxies. As mentioned, expect 5-axis in-body stabilization and three different levels of active cooling. The IBIS system also has a Coordinated Control mode that combines sensor, optical, and digital stabilization. There’s a full-size HDMI port, as well as a USB-C for power and data. UVC/UAC streaming is supported at up to 4K60p. Photo Mode is capable of up to 40fps continuous shooting, but the R6V is electronic shutter only.

The camera has a 3″ vari-angle LCD, DIGIC-X processor, tally lamp, zoom lever, front record button, White Balance button, Color Mode button for picture styles and filters, plus EOS VR System support and a Live button for streaming. The body has a vertical tripod mount for easy social media shooting, and the UI will automatically rotate. Exposure aids include waveforms, false color, and zebras, and the DPAF II system includes people, animal, and vehicle tracking. The R6V camera is capable of four channel audio and should have full compatibility with the TASCAM CA-XLR2d-C XLR adapter and the Canon DM-E1D stereo mic.
