The Canon EOS R6 Mark III and RF 45mm f/1.2 STM will be announced on November 6, 2025. The hype is building for both the camera and lens. It looks like the EOS R6 Mark III is going to be a nice upgrade over its predecessor in a lot of ways.
The RF 45mm f/1.2 STM is a first of its kind lens from Canon. An affordable f/1.2 prime lens. If it's as good optically as is being claimed, here's hopeing we see more of these sorts of lenses in the future.
Canon EOS R6 Mark III
New specifications keep rolling in on the R63, and it keeps getting better and better in my eyes. This is a camera that I think we'll be added to my bag alongside the R1s.
Below are the confirmed specifications, unless noted. The most recent confirmed specifications are in bold.
- 32MP Full-Frame CMOS (Non-stacked)
- DIGIC X Processor
- It doesn't appear to have the DIGIC Accelerator. (I haven't been told that outright)
- Dual Pixel CMOS AF II
- 40fps Electronic
- 12fps Mechanical
- AF areas are the same as the EOS R5 Mark II and EOS R1
- People, Animal, Vehicle Tracking
- IBIS: 8.5 Stops Center (I was wrong on this one, and I'm happy about it!)
- IBIS: 7.5 Stops Corner
- 1/320 Flash Sync (Full Width)
- 1/400 Flash Sync (Crop)
- This would suggest a pretty quick sensor. The EOS R1, which has the fastest readout speed of any CMOS sensor is 1/320-1/500 and the the EOS R5 Mark II is 1/320-1/400.
- Mechanical, Elec. First curtain & Electronic Shutter
- Register & Recall AF settings and Focus Presets.
- Pre-Capture
- Dual Slot: CFExpress Type B & UHS-II SD
- Open Gate 7K RAW Video Recording
- Canon Log-2 & Canon Log-3
- LGOP (Long Group of Pictures)
- All-I
- Mode Dial Now Includes “S&F”
- Update: This feature let's you select frame rates based on a multiplication factor more efficiently. If you're shooting at 24fps, you can easily switch to 12fps by selecting 0.5x or double the frame rate by selecting 2x. I don't know if there are other multiplication settings.
- Max ISO: 64000

Canon RF 45mm f/1.2 STM
The Canon RF 45mm f/1.2 STM looks like it could be a huge success for Canon, just going by the minimal specifications that we know as well as the claimed optical performance. The price is still a bit up in the air, we have heard two different price points, both of which are great.
- Optical quality on par with the
RFEF 50mm f/1.2L USM (Claimed) - Digital Focus Breathing Correction
- 67mm Filter Thread
- Weight: 346g
- Price: $469 / €499
More to come
I think we're getting to the point of the leaked specifiactions slowing down, we're still unable to publish some images of the camera, but there's not much there that will surprise anyone. It looks like a Canon EOR 6 series camera, though I think there are some ergonomic tweaks that look good.
We still want to confirm the EVF specifications, no one can actually give me the resolution of the OLED panel. It can be something that is hard to notice without having the R62 right beside to compare visually.

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.
