Canon EOS R6 V: Full-Frame Video Body at $2,499

Canon just drew a hard line between stills and video in its R6 lineup, and that matters. The R6 V is not a hybrid body hedging its bets. It's a dedicated video tool with a 32.5MP full-frame sensor, 7K capture, and a new power-zoom L lens designed for solo operators who need smooth focal transitions without a second pair of hands. The $2,499 USD price point puts it directly in Sony FX3 territory, which is exactly where Canon wants it. If you've been running Sony cinema glass on an FX3 for client video work and wondering whether Canon's RF ecosystem is worth the switch, this is the body that forces the comparison. The RF 20-50mm f/4 PZ is the smarter story here for working shooters. A stabilised, power-zoom L lens in that range covers interviews, product demos, and run-and-gun corporate work with one lens and one operator. That's a real workflow win, not a spec-sheet talking point.
