I love moving dates for product announcements, so I will understand your apprehention. I play a part in that for sure. I have always owned this weakness, but I can only report what I have been told.
We now know that the Canon EOS R6 Mark III will be announced on November 6, 2025.
Alongside the EOS R6 Mark III, Canon will be announcing the RF 45mm f/1.2 STM. That will be the only lens announced that day. There will be three more later in November.
All the Dates
For now, we will hold to previous reports of two NDA’s expiring November 16, 2025, and November 26, 2025. I didn’t clarify things well in that regard. The expiration date of an NDA doesn’t mean the date of announcement.
The announcement day can come before or after, usually within a day. Timezones can also come into play, Canon doesn’t always do midnight New York Time announcements. So, I’d go with November 17 and November 25 to be shown new wares.
Possible typo in the previous information? There’s always that possibility, but I don’t think that is likely. We know at least one of those dates will be for lenses, and it’s possible the other date is for products unrelated to the EOS R system. A date could be for Powershot, ImagePROGRAF, Selphy’s or any number of things.
Core Specifications That we can Confirm
Below are the core specifications that we could find out. It looks very similar to the Cinema EOS C50, but I don’t know what the differences are when it comes to video recording. The only thing hardware wise that I can think of, is that the EOS R6 Mark III is highly unlikely to have active cooling.
The EOS R6 Mark III is probably why Canon didn’t release all that much about the photo capabilities of the Cinema EOS C50.

Potato EOS R6 Mark III Image
We posted this yesterday for a little bit of fun, and it is the EOS R6 Mark III.
More to come
There will be lots more to come in the coming days, and I will be updating this post through the day if I hear any more.
Again, yes, we have ANOTHER announcement date. It is what it is, I’ll try to figure out how to put some skin in the game if I am wrong. No, I won’t buy all of you the EOS R6 Mark III.
We’ll use the related forum thread started yesterday.
But it would be interesting, which white lens is attached to that 2x extender 😉
Could this be a new one? Or is it an already released one?
We didn't report a rumor of a larger EVF for the R72 as far as I can recall.
The eyecup and the colour of the lugs.
0.9x equivalent OLED EVF with a higher resolution that the current 2.36m-Dot in the EOS R7 - everything we have been told about the R7mkii sep 20th. That implies it has to be bigger
The EVF could see a jump to 5.76M dots, pulled from the R5 Mark I, with improved refresh rate - Canon EOS R7 Mark II: Minor Tweaks or a Major Transformation? May 15th in now deleted article.
There's also been times where you've had "EOS R5 Mark II body size and layout" or some similar wording about it being larger that would again point to evf and eyecup etc being larger too.
I know a recent article kinda walked back on some that but you've mentioned it being bigger in the past a few times
The recent article was a wishlist...... anyway,.this isn't an R72 and this article has nothing to do with an R72 other than one paragraph that I thought was articulated well enough.
And I know I'm just pointing out that with everything that's been written about about the R7mkii on this site I don't think those points about the evf would necessarily confirm it's more likely a R6mkiii.
.....ok
1. The diopter dial is on the right side of the EVF, just like the R6 II and unlike the R7, where it is on the left.
2. There is a lock position inbetween the On and Off position, just as it can be found on the R6 II.
3. There seems to be a dial to the left of the EVF, possibly the stills/video switch as it can be found on the R6 II.
So unless the R7 II shares the nearly exact same body with the R6 III it is likely in my opinion that this is the R6 III.
Nothing there is wrong.
