The Canon EOS R6 Mark III looks set to make its debut soon, with the first leaked image (shown above) giving us a glimpse of Canon’s next mid-range full-frame camera. According to multiple leaks, the announcement is expected on November 6, 2025, with shipping likely to follow later that month. The design seems familiar, but internally, Canon appears to have made some big changes. At its core, the R6 Mark III will reportedly feature a 32-megapixel full-frame CMOS sensor paired with the Dual Pixel CMOS AF II system. Autofocus performance is expected to improve, with support for subject detection across people, animals, and vehicles, and the ability to store up to 100 faces.

Leaked specs also suggest that the camera will deliver 40 frames per second using its electronic shutter, backed by 6.5 stops of in-body image stabilisation. For video, Canon is rumoured to include 7K RAW Open Gate recording and 7K DCI RAW in 12-bit, alongside oversampled 4K and Full HD modes. A new “S&F” (Slow & Fast) mode on the dial will let users quickly switch between different frame rate multipliers, and there is talk of pre-capture functionality and Canon Log 2 and Log 3 profiles for greater flexibility in post-production. The EVF may also get an upgrade to a 5.76-million-dot OLED panel, putting it in line with other recent high-end Canon models.

Other notable features include a full-size HDMI port, dual memory card slots (CFexpress Type B and SD UHS-II), and support for 24-bit audio. The camera will likely use the LP-E6P battery, feature a magnesium alloy body, and skip active cooling, making it a continuation of Canon’s traditional R6 design. Pricing is rumored to sit at around €2,899 / $2,899, which would make it roughly the same as its predecessor at launch.
