Canon has expanded its mirrorless camera lineup in India with the launch of the EOS R6V and RF 20-50mm F4L IS USM lens. The new setup is primarily aimed at filmmakers, wedding shooters, documentary teams, and creators working on video-first projects who want theater-style functionality in a compact system.
Canon EOS R6V and RF 20–50mm lens: Price and availability in India
The Canon EOS R6V body is priced at Rs. 2,35,995, while the RF 20-50mm lens costs Rs. 1,42,995. Buyers opting for the full package will spend Rs. 3,55,995. Both products are now available through Canon official stores and authorized retail channels.
Canon EOS R6V: Key Features
EOS R6V uses a 32.5MP full-frame CMOS sensor and supports 7K Open Gate RAW and MP4 recording. Canon says this camera is designed primarily for video work rather than hybrid shooting.
To handle long recording sessions, the camera comes with a built-in cooling fan designed to reduce overheating during long shooting sessions. The body also supports Canon Log 2 and Canon Log 3 profiles, custom LUT import, waveform monitoring and four-channel audio recording.
For stabilization, Canon added a five-axis in-body image stabilization system with up to 7.5 stops of correction at the center frame. The system also works with Lens Stabilization and Digital Cinema Image Stabilizer for tracking moving subjects during handheld recording.
The camera can shoot up to 40 fps using an electronic shutter and includes a pre-capture mode for action scenes and event coverage. Other new additions include an HDMI Type-A port for external displays, wireless remote support via the Camera Connect app, and a dedicated tripod socket for vertical shooting. The interface can also be automatically rotated when recording content in portrait format.
Canon RF 20–50mm lens adds power zoom support
In addition to the camera, Canon also launched the RF 20–50mm F4L IS USM lens. The company says this is its first full-frame L-series lens with a built-in power zoom system.
The lens covers the 20-50mm focal length range and maintains a constant f/4 aperture throughout the zoom range. Canon has 15 adjustable zoom speed levels for smoother zoom transitions during video recording.
The lens uses an internal zoom mechanism, which means its physical length does not extend when zoomed. It also supports optical image stabilization with up to six levels of correction. When paired with the EOS R6V’s in-body stabilization feature, the combined stabilization number goes up to eight stops.
Canon also added dust and drip resistance, a 67mm filter thread, and an optical design designed to reduce flare, ghosting, and distortion during shooting.
