Canon EOS R6 Mark III vs Sony a7C II

The Canon EOS R6 Mark III and the Sony a7C II side by side, computed from this guide's catalogue.

Which to pick

Pick the Canon EOS R6 Mark III if you want a newer model (2025 against 2023), which usually means better autofocus and video. Pick the Sony a7C II if you want more lenses made for it in this guide (278 against 99) and a lighter body (514 g against 699 g). If you already own Canon RF or Sony E lenses, the camera on that mount saves you buying them again.
