Canon eos r6 v vs sony a7 v?

Both are full-frame mirrorless bodies with 32.5 to 33 megapixels and in-body stabilisation, so the choice comes down to how you shoot and which mount you want to buy into.

The Canon EOS R6 V is a video-first body announced in 2026, and it has no viewfinder. If you mostly film and already own Canon RF lenses, it's the natural pick. The Sony a7 V is the newer-to-market all-rounder, announced in 2025, with a partially stacked sensor. I'd choose it for a mix of stills and video, or if you want a body that suits a wider range of shooting.

For an everyday kit, pair the R6 V with the Canon RF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM, or the a7 V with the Sony FE 24-70mm f/2.8 GM II. For background on sensor sizes, see Sensor sizes.
