Canon EOS R1 vs Nikon Z6 III
The Canon EOS R1 and the Nikon Z6 III side by side, computed from this guide's catalogue.
Which to pick
Pick the Nikon Z6 III if you want more lenses made for it in this guide (153 against 99) and a lighter body (760 g against 1115 g). On these specs the Canon EOS R1 has no clear advantage: choose it if the price, the handling or a lens you own decides it. If you already own Canon RF or Nikon Z lenses, the camera on that mount saves you buying them again.
