Canon EOS R6 Mark III Review: Mobile01 Calls It a Complete Hybrid

View Post

The EOS R6 Mark III has been out since November 2025, and the reviews are starting to roll in. Mobile01 just published their full take (via Asobinet), and it’s pretty glowing — with a couple of caveats.

The Highlights

Sensor & Speed

  • 32.5MP sensor, up from 24.2MP in the Mark II
  • 40fps electronic shutter with pre-burst
  • CFexpress Type B + SD UHS-II dual slots
  • ISO 102400 max — same ceiling despite the higher resolution
  • ISO 6400 excellent, ISO 12800 usable

Video

  • 7K Open Gate recording — shoot once, reframe in post
  • Full-size HDMI Type-A (finally)
  • USB 3.2 Gen 2 with power delivery
  • Multi-function hot shoe with digital audio support

Build & Ergonomics

  • ~670g body with improved heat dissipation
  • Deep Canon-trademark grip, magnesium alloy frame
  • Weather-sealed
  • Vari-angle touchscreen, 3-inch 1.62M dot

Autofocus

  • Subject tracking holds through partial occlusion
  • Pre-register up to 10 people for priority tracking in crowds

The Weaknesses

  • Rolling shutter on fast subjects using electronic shutter
  • Strong crop when using electronic IS in video mode
  • No IBIS performance figures quoted in the review

The Verdict

Mobile01 calls it “a highly competitive hybrid with few weaknesses” — strong in both stills and video, with real-world improvements that matter. The 7K Open Gate and full-size HDMI alone are significant wins for hybrid shooters.

Pricier than the Mark II at launch — but you’re getting a meaningfully upgraded camera.

Canon RF 28-70mm F/2L DxOMarked (impressive optical performance)

View Post

RF 28-70mm F/2L at a glance:

  • RF-Mount Lens/Full-Frame Format
  • Aperture Range: f/2 to f/22
  • Ultra-Low Dispersion Elements
  • Ring-Type Ultrasonic Motor AF System
  • Customizable Control Ring
  • Rounded 9-Blade Diaphragm

DxOMark posted their review and test results for the Canon RF 28-70mm F/2L, a highly regarded lens for the EOS R system.

DxOMark gave the RF 28-70mm F/2L a score of 33, and see it performing better than the amazing Canon EF 24-70mm F2.8L II.

From the conclusion:

With such a fast F2.0 maximum aperture at all focal lengths, the new Canon RF zoom certainly feels like it’s showcasing the potential of switching to the new RF mount. Given the possibilities for low-light shooting, when switching between primes isn’t ideal, a lens like this is sorely tempting. At a dollar shy of $3,000, though, it is a pricey proposition. Still, it has very impressive optical performance, and when viewed overall, it’s even a slightly better performer than the highly-regarded Canon EF 24-70mm F2.8L II USM. Its appeal is somewhat niche, but if you need a lens like this, there isn’t anything else on the market quite like it.

Sigma 28mm F1.4 DG ART Review (premium 28mm lens, D. Abbott)

Sigma 28mm F1.4 DG ART at a glance:

  • EF-Mount Lens/Full-Frame Format
  • Aperture Range: f/1.4 to f/16
  • Two FLD Elements, Three SLD Elements
  • Three Aspherical Elements
  • Super Multi-Layer Coating
  • Hyper Sonic AF Motor, Manual Override
  • Weather-Sealed, Protective Front Coating
  • Rounded 9-Blade Diaphragm
  • Compatible with Sigma USB Dock

Photographer and reviewer Dustin Abbott published the full review of the Sigma 28mm F1.4 DG ART lens. A lens that catches a lot of attention.

Among the things D. Abbott liked are the excellent build quality, quick and accurate AF, sharpness starting at f1.4, bokeh, contrast, well controlled chromatic aberrations, and more.

From his conclusion:

In many ways the Sigma 28mm F1.4 ART is the lens that the 35mm F1.4 ART should have been.  It delivers better focus accuracy, richer image quality, and has a superior build.  I would actually like to see Sigma build a 35mm F1.4 ART Mark II in the future and update it with some of the experience gleaned since its release (it was the first of the ART series lenses).  The only negative that I can point to by comparison is that the price has crept up to where the 28ART can no longer be considered a bargain even if it is cheaper than direct competitors.  And that may be the primary obstacle to it being a sales success for Sigma.  The 28mm focal length is not intensely popular (though incredibly useful), so the price tag (though probably warranted by performance) may be steeper than many want to pay. 

If you want a premium 28mm lens, however, it’s hard to rule out the Sigma 28mm F1.4 ART.  It does so many things very well, and produces truly beautiful images.  What more could you ask for?

Despite being a real world review, D. Abbott’s review of the Sigma 28mm F1.4 ART lens covers everything you might want to know and comes with a huge set of sample and test pictures. This is the kind of review I look for when I want to learn about gear.
