Canon R6 III Release Date: Not Expected Until March Next Year

According to Canonrumors, the Canon EOS R6 Mark III won’t make its debut before the CP+ show in late February. The latest whispers suggest it might not hit the market until at least March.

The Canon EOS R6 Mark III has been a topic of conversation for quite some time now, with an anticipated release penciled in for 2025.

Unfortunately, Canon’s struggle to meet demand for both the EOS R5 Mark II and the EOS R1 remains a significant hurdle. This production bottleneck is delaying the timely arrival of the EOS R6 Mark III on store shelves.

The 6 series stands as Canon’s top-selling full-frame camera lineup, meaning they need to ensure substantial inventory is ready to meet consumer expectations.

Given the strong global performance of the EOS R1 and EOS R5 Mark II, there’s optimism that the EOS R6 Mark III will replicate this success when it finally launches. This aligns with predictions that the camera will be unveiled in the first quarter of 2025.

Here are the rumored specifications for the Canon EOS R6 Mark III:
– A 24-megapixel LC1720 sensor, identical to the one found in the EOS R3.
– Powered by the DIGIC accelerator processor, offering an impressive 8.5 stops of coordinated image stabilization.
– Equipped with the same autofocus system as the EOS R5 II.

– Capable of highly reliable 14-bit RAW electronic shutter continuous shooting at 30fps, with a readout speed of 1/180s.
– Features built-in neural network noise suppression and a high-resolution magnification function.
– Supports XF-AVC S and XF-HEVC S recording, enabling C4K/120p (S35) and 6K oversampled C4K footage.

– Also supports 6K30p and 4K60p (S35) Cinema RAW Light recording.
