Canon is giving South African creators some serious firepower. The brand just dropped the EOS R6 Mark III and the RF 45mm F1.2 STM lens, and both are made for visual storytellers ready to push their creativity to the next level.
The EOS R6 Mark III is Canon’s new versatile powerhouse, perfect for photographers who juggle everything from sports and wildlife to weddings and portraits. With a 32.5-megapixel full-frame sensor, 40fps continuous shooting, and an expanded buffer for up to 150 RAW shots in a burst, this camera is built for speed without sacrificing detail. Add in smart autofocus tracking, weather-resistant durability, and low-light performance up to ISO 64,000, and you’ve got a camera ready to handle any scene.
“Improved tracking algorithms mean you can lock onto moving subjects – from horses to airplanes – with ease. Plus, pre-continuous shooting makes sure you never miss the action,” Canon explains.
Photographers moving into video won’t be left behind. The R6 Mark III shoots 7K RAW Light up to 60p, oversampled 4K 60p, 4K 120p, and Full HD 180fps for slow-mo magic. Open Gate captures the full sensor for ultimate post-production flexibility, while dual card slots, 5 GHz Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth 5.1 keep your workflow smooth.

But Canon didn’t stop there. The RF 45mm F1.2 STM lens is a game-changer for enthusiasts. At just 346g, it’s Canon’s lightest f/1.2 RF lens ever.
