Choose the Canon R6 Mark III if…

Quick questions
Is the Canon EOS R6 Mark III or Sony a7 V better for video?
For in-body video the R6 Mark III leads: internal 7K RAW, Open Gate and Canon Log 2. The a7 V records 7K-oversampled 4K 60p 10-bit with S-Log3 and S-Cinetone. Pick the R6 Mark III for the most flexible internal video; the a7 V is still excellent 4K.
What is a partially-stacked sensor?
The Sony a7 V 33MP Exmor RS is partially stacked, giving faster readout than a standard sensor — less rolling-shutter skew on fast pans and quicker shooting. The Canon R6 Mark III uses a 32.5MP standard CMOS sensor.
Which has more lenses — Canon RF or Sony E?
Sony E-mount has the larger lens ecosystem, with more native and third-party options after a longer head start. The Canon RF mount is excellent and growing, with strong first-party glass.
Are the Canon EOS R6 Mark III and Sony a7 V available in Oman?
Yes — the R6 Mark III is in stock and the a7 V is available to pre-order at Skyorbits in Muscat, with installment options (Bank Muscat, Meethaq, and in-house).
