Rent the Canon EOS R6 V in Canada — Canon’s video-focused full-frame hybrid, built around a 32.5MP sensor, internal 7K RAW and active cooling for long takes. It’s made for creators who shoot video daily: documentary, events, commercial and solo run-and-gun work on the RF system. Key points:
- 32.5MP full-frame sensor with internal 7K60 RAW and 7K30 3:2 open-gate for maximum reframing
- Oversampled 4K up to 60p, plus uncropped 4K120 for slow motion, with Canon Log 2 and Log 3
- Active cooling fan for two or more hours of continuous 7K RAW recording
- Up to 7.5-stop in-body stabilisation and Dual Pixel CMOS AF II for confident handheld and solo shooting
Our thoughts
The R6 V is Canon leaning fully into video — you get internal 7K RAW, open-gate capture and a proper cooling fan in a compact RF body that still shoots lovely 32.5MP stills. For me the standout is reliability: the active cooling means you can actually run long takes without worrying about overheating, and the dual card slots give you backup or proxies. Pair it with a fast RF zoom and it’s a superb one-body hybrid rig.

Compatibility & what you might add
- Pair it with Canon RF lenses for native autofocus, or adapt EF glass with Canon’s mount adapter — just ask and we’ll include one.
- The 7K RAW and high-frame-rate modes need fast, high-capacity cards — add compatible memory and spare batteries to your order.
- Add an on-camera monitor or gimbal to build out a full video rig.

Q&A
What makes the R6 V different from the R6 Mark II?
The R6 V is Canon’s video-focused take on the R6 line. It steps up to a 32.5MP sensor, adds internal 7K RAW and 3:2 open-gate recording, uncropped 4K120, and — crucially — an active cooling fan for extended recording. If your work is video-first, it’s built for exactly that, while still capturing high-quality stills.
Can it record for long periods without overheating?
Yes — that’s a key feature. The built-in active cooling fan allows two or more hours of continuous 7K RAW recording, so it’s well suited to interviews, events, live capture and any production with long takes where a hybrid camera would normally time out.
Does it record RAW internally?
Yes — it records 7K60 RAW internally, plus 7K30 open-gate and oversampled 4K. These high-bitrate modes need fast, high-capacity cards, so we recommend adding a suitable CFexpress Type B card to your rental. It also has a second SD slot for backup or proxies.
What lenses can I use on it?
It has a Canon RF mount, so all RF lenses work natively with full autofocus and stabilisation. You can also adapt EF lenses with Canon’s EF-EOS R adapter. Let us know your glass and we’ll include the right adapter.
Is it good for handheld and solo shooting?
Very — the up-to-7.5-stop in-body stabilisation smooths handheld footage, and Dual Pixel CMOS AF II with subject detection makes reliable autofocus easy for one-person crews. Combined with the vari-angle screen, it’s a strong choice for run-and-gun and self-operated shoots.
