It looks like September 14, 2021 (depending on geography) has been confirmed by Canon Hong Kong as the announcement date for the Canon EOS R3.
I believe that first shipments of the Canon EOS R3 will be in November, but I haven't confirmed that information as of yet, but we don't have long to wait to find out for certain.
Pricing for the Canon EOS R3 is not yet known, I have unfortunately received various pricing suggestions that don't line up as of yet.

No specs on frame rates for video either. 6K resolution seems to be in the cards, though not listed.
I hope its more like $4k, but I think that makes it too close to the R5. SO I'm guessing the floor for pricing will be $4500. In my purely speculative math here, that's a range of probability between $4500 and $6700USD. All too much for me. But I'm still waiting with excitement to see what the final answer is.

But, other than MPs, this seems like a beast. If you want more MPs, this is not your camera.
Each chip in the R series is going up by as much as 20% with the silicon shortage affecting everyone. And excellent time to reposition your products into higher tiers.
There is a thread for price speculation here, in case it is of interest:
Place your bets! What do you think the R3 will cost?
First time I have made plans at 3am since... well... probably the R5 announcement.
I didn't see anything on the Canon Korea site or YouTube. Hopefully all coming soon!
This camera needs to be priced attractively to be a winner.
