EOS R6 Mark III

The highly anticipated R6 III takes the awesome R6 II to new heights, with incremental but significant improvements:

• 33MP
• Faster readout speed than R6 II (faster in 12-bit than the semi-stacked Sony sensor in the Nikon Z6 III in 14-bit)
• (Slightly?) improved autofocus
• Better pre-capture
• CFexpress Type B + SD UHS-II cards
• 1/320s flash sync (edit: only in APS-C crop mode)

Video capabilities very similar to the C50:

• Full-size HDMI
• Open gate 7K30p
• Canon Log 2
• Waveform
• Tally lamp

RF 45mm 1.2 STM

This lens is really compelling: super bright nifty-tifty (it's called 45mm just to differentiate it from the 50mm 1.2 USM, the field of view seems to be almost the same) for under 500€, with big compromises with regards to image quality.

Main characteristics:

• 1.2 aperture (with significant falloff of 4 stops in the corners...)
• Low price <500€ (compared to nearest neighbors: 200€ for 50mm 1.8, >1500€ for 50 1.4)
• Acceptable autofocus
• No stabilization
• Compact and light
• Old school uncorrected optical aberrations (yes, every kind of them)
• High barrel distortion needing digital correction
• 70€ for the lens hood!?

An accessible 1.2 lens with autofocus, with the tradeoff of sharpness and performance, is a very interesting offering!
