I tested the Canon EOS R6 Mark III — it's a near-perfect hybrid camera, with one major drawback

As a fully-featured hybrid camera, the Canon R6 Mark III achieves the brief with top marks for both stills and video. It's a little sensible, a little safe, but Canon has managed to pack in a decent array of upgrades into a cleverly refined package. Key additions include the 33MP sensor, support for 7K open gate video, and the genuinely interesting Register People Priority mode. In real-world use, the R6 Mark III is an absolute joy to use, with intuitive controls, menus, and great results straight out of the camera. Both casual and professional users will find a lot to work with here, although Canon's continued decision to keep the RF mount closed to third-party full-frame alternatives is still a drawback versus the rivals.
