Here are the Full Canon EOS R6 V Specifications

[LSXPhotog]

I’m more interested in the other two cameras being teased… is one going to be the long-overdue G3X replacement - please!! (Or are the other two bodies pre-existing?)

Looks like the silhouette of the V10, V1, R50V and R6V to me. I guess Canon wants to showcase that these are its content creator family of cameras. There is a substantial gap in price and capabilities between the R6V and all these other cameras. (The V1 is absolutely a pleasure to use and own and I highly recommend it to anyone as an ultrawide lens or “dad cam”)

The latter is my guess.

Most likely only the one on the right is new, the R6 V. That’s why its tally light is on.

The other three are PowerShot V10, Powershot V1 and the R50 V.

Well that's disappointing if there is only one new model. Putting my optimistic cap on, why should those other three be in shade if they are pre-existing models?

 

[Kjsheldo]

Yea, those are the other V cameras: V10, V1, R50V and then the R6V. So definitely not 4 cameras coming, just the tally light camera that is part of the V family.

Still hoping for some type of timecode (USB-C port?) and a surprising feature or two, but probably just the R6III with no EVF and the body of the C50 - which sounds pretty darn great to me.

Btw, don’t understand why is the camera promoted only on Canon USA and on other Canon websites, social media there is nothing about it

edit: ok nevermind some of them have it already on social media Germany, France...

So, is it true that the R6 V can only shoot 10-bit RAW video?

If R6 V can't shoot 12-bit RAW video, despite prioritizing video over still images, then it's clearly inferior to the R6 III and has no value as a video camera, for me.

I just looked at the R6-3 user manual and didn't see 12 bit anywhere. How is the R6v clearly inferior to the R6-3?

Says so on Canon's own sale page:

Video Recording Formats
RAW: Canon RAW (.CRM file extension); 12-bit

The R6III has regular pins in the hotshoe and thus is compatible with older-style EX flashes, thus it seems likely that the R6 V would have them. OTOH, the R50 lacks those pins and thus is only compatible with multifunction shoe EL flashes, so it makes sense that carried over into the R50 V.

I may be mistaken, but the leaked specs for the R6V do not include any X-sync speeds, and the only reference to the type of Shoe says just “Multi-function shoe”, so I wouldn’t hold my hopes high for that.
Anyway, we’ll probably know for sure in a day or two.

Overall, it will probably be a high seller for generation TikTok kids.

And thousands of videographers who will save some money buying this instead of the R6 III, with the benefit of longer recording times.

 

[neuroanatomist]

I just looked at the R6-3 user manual and didn't see 12 bit anywhere.

You seem to have missed it. Or Canon USA is totally lying on their top-line spec list.

• Internally recorded 7K video at up to 59.94p in 12-bit Canon RAW Light Movie.
• Open Gate recording at up to 7K 29.97p in 10-bit MP4 or 12-bit RAW.

X-sync applies to the EL series of multifunction shoe Speedlites. So, are you suggesting this camera will not support flashes at all? That seems ludicrous.

Regardless, we won’t really know until the camera images are shown. After all, the Canon specification list for the R1 shows the following:



Reading that, you’d think it was like the R50 with no traditional pin contacts. But here’s the top of my R1:



Clearly there are pin contacts (just like on the R6III), and I know from experience that any of my four 600EX-RT flashes and my MT-24EX twin flash work just fine directly mounted on the camera, no AD-E1 adapter needed (unless I require the connection to be weather sealed). My EL-5 flash works too, of course, and is weather sealed without the adapter.

Yep, I missed it in the user manual. Which raises the question: will R6V raw also be 12 bit and are these specifications incomplete?

If that 'picture' is accurate, then based on the reported depth of the R6 V, the RF 20-50/4 lens is 89mm long. Compare that to the 107mm length of the RF 24-105/4 and the 100mm length of the RF 14-35/4. The RF 20-50/4 is also reportedly lighter than the RF 14-35/4.

The most interesting detail is the PZ/MZ switch. If true, it confirms the zoom's manual operation!
One more long day of waiting!

For these reasons (small size and lighter weight) is why I am
purchasing this lens. Plan to sell / trade in a few lenses to make the buy no additional cost.

Same here (without selling lenses, but I may do that at some point anyway...I don't think I really need to keep all three of the 14-20-24 VCM primes, probably just the 14 and 20). The 20-50/4 will make a very nice walkaround lens on the R8.
