Canon USA briefly posted a teaser for the upcoming Canon EOS R6 Mark III and RF 45mm f/1.2 STM. The announcement will take place on November 6, 2025 at 01:00 AM EDT (New York City). It doesn't appear that Canon is going to do any sort of livestream for the launch. This will be one of a few announcement days for Canon in November.

Canon has since pulled the teaser, but I imagine it's going to come back in the very new future.

We know a lot about what to expect from the upcoming R63 and RF 45 f/1.2 STM, but there will likely still be some surprises in store for us when it does officially launch.

Canon EOS R6 Mark III Core Specifications

  • 32MP Full-Frame CMOS (Non-stacked)
  • Dual Piel CMOS AF II
  • IBIS: 6.5 Stops
  • Pre-Capture
  • Dual Slot: CFExpress Type B & UHS-II SD
  • Open Gate 7K RAW Video Recording

You can check out broader specifications here.

Canon RF 45mm f/1.2 STM Core Specifications

  • Optical quality on par with the RF EF 50mm f/1.2L USM (Claimed)
  • Digital Focus Breathing Correction
  • 67mm Filter Thread
  • Weight: 346g
  • Price: €499 or €599 (We have been told both price points)

What Else is Coming?

There will be more RF lenses announced later in November, we expect to see the RF 20-50mm f/4 PZ and a super-telephoto zoom announced alongside a 3rd lens that we can't confirm at this time. It's apparently something pretty “special”.

  1. Good catch! But honestly I don't see anything interesting on that camera, except that it really seems to be a new one.

    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?

  2. So the reasoning behind it not being a R7mkii is because while it does look like a R7 evf it looks a little bigger(which is one of the rumored updates to the R7mkii you guys reported) so it must be a R6mkiii because maybe it just looks like that because of the angle?

    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.

    The evf bump is bigger - R7mkii is reportedly in the wild August 29th

    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.

    I know. That's why I didn't quote it.

    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.

    I wonder if that is the 300-600 attached to it.

  9. So 3 things I noticed:

    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.

  10. Btw I thought exactly that the design will be same as on R1 or R5m2, you can see the EVF in the front is more beveled (not sure if the word is right for this).
