SUMMARY
The Canon EOS R6 V is a new RF-mount camera with a 'video first' approach, similar to the Cinema EOS C50 but smaller and lighter. Despite its 32.5MP sensor capable of stills at 40fps, it lacks a viewfinder, relying solely on a rear LCD. While Canon suggests it's for handheld use by influencers, the absence of even an optional viewfinder is seen as a missed opportunity for hybrid shooters. The camera does include a cooling fan for extended recording and a basic shape for rigs, but its high price point for video features makes the viewfinder omission notable.
