Canon just dropped a massive announcement today of the long-rumoured Canon V camera, a camera cinematography powerhouse, and a competitor of the existing Nikon ZR camera. It doesn’t include all the Canon R Mark6 III features, like missing EVF or mechanical shutter, but it is custom-developed for cinematographers and professional content creators. One of the biggest advantages of having the Canon R6 V camera is approximately unlimited 7K, or you can record 4K 120p on an approx basis till your CF card or the SD card fills, with the help of the built-in active cooling fan.
