The EOS R6 V launches at $2,499 body-only, $3,699 as a kit with the RF20-50mm F4 L IS USM PZ, and $2,599 with a Stop Motion Animation Firmware SKU, shipping in late June and July. The R6 V is the first full-frame body slotted into Canon’s V-series video lineup rather than the photography-led R6 line, with a 32.5MP sensor, 7K/60p RAW, 7K/30p Open Gate, uncropped 4K/120p, in-body stabilization, and an internal cooling fan that positions it directly across from the Sony FX3 and a7S III and the Panasonic S5 IIX in the hybrid creator bracket.

The Alpha 7R VI lands in June 2026 at approximately €5,100 / £4,500 with a 66.8MP fully-stacked Exmor RS sensor, the new BIONZ XR2 engine, and up to 30 fps blackout-free continuous shooting. The architectural story is that Sony has finally put a fully-stacked sensor into the high-resolution body. Stacked silicon was previously the province of the speed-focused 9-series; the 7R V was back-illuminated but not stacked, which meant resolution buyers paid a readout penalty for the pixel count.
