Conclusion

The four Canon cameras are fairly similar in terms of specifications, but the differences lie in how they're used. The choice mainly depends on what you consider most important: video, photography, a good balance between the two, or a true cinema-oriented model.

The new Canon EOS R6 V is the best choice if your focus is on filming but you also want to keep taking good photos. You get 7K 60fps RAW, Open Gate, active cooling, a 32.5-megapixel sensor, fast autofocus and strong image stabilisation. That means the R6 V is hardly inferior to the EOS R6 Mark III for photography, while being more attractively priced.

The Canon EOS R6 Mark II is the most accessible full-frame option. This camera suits those who mainly take photos and have less need for the latest video features. You get a strong all-round camera with good image quality, fast autofocus and long battery life.

The Canon EOS R6 Mark III is the most complete hybrid choice. This camera combines strong photo performance with extensive video capabilities, such as 7K RAW video. You also get an electronic viewfinder, a mechanical shutter and good image stabilisation, but it lacks features such as Open Gate that the EOS R6 V does have.

The Canon EOS C50 is mainly aimed at video productions. This Cinema EOS camera offers active cooling, internal 7K RAW recording and controls that suit working with a rig or gimbal. For photography, this model is a less logical choice.

In short: choose the new EOS R6 V for video with strong photo performance, the EOS R6 Mark II for photography and budget, the EOS R6 Mark III for the most complete hybrid camera, and the EOS C50 for true video productions.
