This is just a small update on two of the most anticipated cameras coming from Canon. There's not much here in the way of new information, but things keep hitting our inbox.
We have been told that a planned dealer presentation for new Cinema EOS and EOS products that was scheduled for later this month has been put on hold. These meetings usually happen before major product announcements.
We don't believe any delay is going to be related to the tariffs, it seems companies are moving forward with launcing new products at a normal rate.
It could be nothing, and things will just be rescheduled for around the same time.
Most out there think that the EOS R7 Mark II and EOS R6 Mark III will begin shipping sometime in early Q4, and that has been a longstanding rumor.
Last week, we received rumored specifications for the EOS R7 Mark II, though the source doesn't have much of a track record and we have been waiting for those that do to chime in.
We have been burned over the last 12-18 months by not publishing some things that turned out to be true, it's still not an exact science ignoring the wishes and truth.
Canon EOS R7 Mark II Rumored Specifications
- 33MP APS-C Stacked CMOS
- DIGIC X & DIGIC Accelerator
- 8.5 Stops of In-body Stabilization
- 2.36m-Dot OLED EVF
- 40 FPS Electronic Shutter
- Pre Continuous Shooting
- In-Camera Upscaling
- 4K120 10-Bit with CLog-3
- Larger Form factor than the R7
The Canon EOS R6 Mark III is going to be a big release for Canon. The 6 series is the best-selling full-frame mirrorless camera in the lineup we have been told by a few retailers, though that may be a different story globally.
There haven't been a lot of substantiated specifications for the EOS R6 Mark III, but we do imagine Canon is going to keep things locked down the same way they did with the EOS R5 Mark II. While some things did come out ahead of the launch, it was core specifications.
Canon EOS R6 Mark III Rumored Specifications
- Brand new 24MP sensor (R3 sensor has been rumored in the past)
- Stacked CMOS
- Readout speed between the EOS R1 and EOS R5 Mark II.
- New Rear LCD “Flippy” Mechanism
- DIGIC X & DIGIC Accelerator
- C-Log 2 & C-Log 3
- 6K RAW at 60FPS
- 4K at 120FPS
Lots of New Stuff is Coming
Multiple Announcements are coming during the rest of 2025, including new Cinema EOS products. The IBC show in Amsterdam is next month, and Canon does make major announcements ahead of that show from time to time.
Canon will be announcing between 4-6 lenses before the end of 2025. Hopefully they ship before the close of the year as well. There will probably be a couple of niche lenses announced alongside volume lenses.
We think it would be a surprise if the EOS R7 Mark II and EOS R6 Mark III were announced at the same time as has been mentioned in the past. We'd also be surprised if either of these camera announcements slipped into 2026.
We'll be hearing more on these two cameras in the next few weeks.
I´m especially curious about the new flippy screen mechanism the R6mkiii will get according to rumors.
Enjoy what you have.
I get it for landscape photography, or macro, or portraits, but the Canon 7 series have always been aimed at sports/action/wildlife photographers. When I'm out shooting handheld and following fast moving subjects (in my case, planes), all I'm thinking about is following the subject and framing it in the FOV. Looking at colors and details comes later in post.
One big advantage of less dots in the EVF is an extended battery life, and personally I prefer that when I am out and shoot thousands of images in nature. So I think it it would be smart by Canon to implement an EVF with about the same resolution in the MK II. But I fear that for marketing reasons they might pump it finally up to 4 mio. dots or so...
The quality of a viewfinder is one of the most important features for me, more than fps, MPs or video. (Maybe spoiled by Nikon F2's, Leicaflex SL2's and Leica R 6's excellent OVFs.)
But my use is totally different from yours, since I'm only exceptionally photographing wildlife. My main focus is macro, landscape or architecture, camera set on single shot...
Your arguments are convincing for wildlife, no doubt! 🙂
To me, the EVF and the autofocus of the EOS R were already a gamechanger compared to my older 6D. Especially for portraits where you can concentrate on composition, because the camera will nail the AF every time.
