The Latest Canon R6 Mark III Rumours

The launch of the Canon EOS R6 Mark III is getting closer, and more details are starting to surface. According to the latest information, Canon is still on track to officially announce the new camera on November 6, 2025, with availability expected around November 20, 2025. Several key specs have now been confirmed multiple times, including a 32-megapixel sensor (likely borrowed from the EOS C50), 6.5-stop in-body stabilisation, open-gate 7K RAW video (3:2), and 40 fps burst shooting. Other details include Canon Log-2 and Log-3, 24-bit audio, a pre-capture mode, and a full-size HDMI output. The “S&F” mode dial is also expected to let users easily double or halve the continuous shooting speed.

However, a few points remain unclear. There is still some debate about whether the camera will use Canon’s new DIGIC Accelerator chip or a more standard processor. The electronic viewfinder is rumoured to get a major upgrade to 5.76 million dots with 0.76x magnification, up from the R6 Mark II’s 3.69 million, though that hasn’t been confirmed yet. The rear LCD might stick with the same fully articulating design as its predecessor, but the exact mechanism isn’t finalised. As for storage, the latest reports suggest one CFexpress Type B slot and one UHS-II SD card slot, although earlier leaks mentioned dual SDs.

Canon’s proven Dual Pixel CMOS AF II system will return, reportedly capable of recognising and storing up to 100 faces for autofocus tracking. The LP-E6P battery is also expected to carry over. Price-wise, the EOS R6 Mark III is rumoured to cost around €2,899, roughly the same as the R6 Mark II at launch. Canon is also said to be preparing a new RF 45mm f/1.2 STM lens to debut alongside the camera.
