I haven't read all the comments in the other R6III thread, so maybe it has already mentioned...

But I'm 99% sure the photo from Alan Photo is just a mockup - an edited photo of the R6II. I think it is also confirmed by the new image from Canon France. Look at the microphone holes. It looks like they are on top. When looking at photo from Alan Photo they sit at the front just as they do on R6II.

Would say from this second picture leak, the design of camera looks more like the same as R1 and R5m2, and not like older R6m2...

Hello,

I've tried everything, but I still can't find a digital zoom option in the movie mode menu on the original Canon R. I've checked in FHD, 25p, 50p, etc., but it never appears.

However, I keep reading that it exists.

Can anyone help me?

Thank you so much!

I added some specs. I was wrong about IBIS, and I am happy about that. It doesn't look like it's getting the DIGIC accelerator.

I am now more and more excited about R6III

It baffles me why they not added a nano-USM motor to the RF 85mm F2 when nano-USM was released 10 years ago in a cheap consumer lens.

Some users of EF TS lenses have stated on this forum that they do not care about AF since the subject matter

I do not think they would be the target market.
The market would be everyone who wants the benefit of tilt/shift without doing it manually.
That is a much bigger potential market.
The patents tell us that Canon is doing the design research, but we have no idea about their market research.

I have an R5 Mark II and an R8 (that's my beater camera I take when I'm doing something where the camera could get hurt) along with 12 lenses. I don't think I'll buy the R6 Mark III unless something happens to the R8. (Along with the Leica Q3, my insurance agent is asking if I may have too much camera gear.)

There is no such thing as too much camera gear. Same with guitars. If your budget allows it, enjoy the hell out of every piece of equipment you can get. But get rid of the stuff you are not using.

I am pretty sure I will buy the r6 iii. I currently own an r6 i and it would be nice with a second body. Usable electronic shutter, better dynamic range, autofocus and effectively a 1.25 tc built in sound like a reasonable upgrade.

blackcoffee17 · Nov 4, 2025

No need to reinvent the wheel or redesign the body at every single iteration, just put the best possible APS-C sensor in the R5 body and that's all.

Current EF TS lenses are all excellent and there's really no reason not to get them if you need them for architecture or landscape work. I don't think the RF TS lenses are coming any time soon and it's also reasonable to expect they'll first announce one, or at best two lenses. So it might be a long while before there's a whole RF TS set (17-24-50-90-135).

My guess is that a RF 24 TS will be the first (or whatever is closest in terms of angle), followed by RF 90 TS to satisfy the product photographers.

The possibility of AF versions to me seems essentially unnecessary, especially if it causes huge price increase. What I would very much like to see (and find waaay more useful) is an included lens collar with all of these lenses. Fuji GF 30 TS is a great example. Also, I would love to see better shift controls. The knobs are fiddly and difficult to use. I think Laowa has this nailed down to perfection with their ring controls.

Speaking of which, Laowas zero-D shifts are very good and you save a bunch of money if you don't need the tilt functionality. I personally use tilt extremely rarely and 99,9% of time it's shift only.

Can you really not imagine using autofocus opening more new possibilities for t/s than a lens collar would? Or the chance Canon or a third party would provide lens collars for rf to lenses?

Is this also hinting at a new RF 24-105 f/4L? If you zoom in you can see the 105mm end and the lens hood design looks new. I'd be super down for an improvement of this lens!

That´d really be wonderful! I can't really tell from the pic, but maybe it is the rumored 24-70mm F2.8 IS VCM? Anyway, I´m looking forward to mkii´s hitting the shelves

BTW: I´d love a RF 24-130mm F4 L or a 200gr lighter 24-105mm F4 L. Just saying... maybe drop the IS to save some weight.

My dream TS would be something quite unachievable, a 14-24mm TSE .

I'd pretend to be gay and seduce an ugly bank manager, international spy style, to learn some important thing to help you rob that bank.

Well, I still have my R. Great for portraits. I am amazed at what the R6 Mark III offers as an upgrade for someone like me (in 2 years

). For me, 32mp is a sweet spot.

Toni · Nov 4, 2025

Years ago, I thinked that R mount was a technical move; now I think it was only a piece of marketing.
Canon R mount is still closed, so best move is buy a Sony camera (or other brand) and enjoy lenses from others manufacturers.
In 2025 there is no way in a thing SO CLOSED as R mount.

I'm wondering how the release of the R6 MKIII might affect R5/R5 MKII sales - the difference between the 24MP of the R6 MKII and R5 was quite significant but the 34MP of the MKIII is bringing it much closer to the R5/R5MKII's 45MP sensor ??

Yes, why not get a new R5 for the same price?

@CR: For the camera you added November 25 as an availability date. Any news for when the lens might be available?

Two questions about panamoz:
1.) If my camera needs a repair (maybe after years): would I be able to send to Canon CPS? Or would I have to take elsewhere?
2.) If I have to send in my camera to panamoz, does it have to leave the country?

thx

What I know is:
- After the 3 years of Panamoz warranty, you can send the camera anywhere, including to CPS.
- Panamoz have local repair stations (often the same ones used by guess whom...) in most European countries. (France, Germany, Italy are a certainty).
I wouldn't worry at all, they are a very reliable company, even according to the internet "experts".
PS: Until now, I've saved at least Euro 3500 buying from them. (RF 100-500, R5 II, RF 15-35 f/2,8) No issues at all!

There are two things I am excited about: low light capability and the bump in auto focus. I'm strictly a hobbyist and I'm currently shooting a 6Dm2. Perhaps the r6m2 would be a big enough jump in both of those areas. Particularly the low light.

Thing is, I mostly shoot my kids sports and they play soccer/futsal and basketball. I'm really excited to try the action priority settings (in concert with the low light boost for futsal and basketball).

Only did a cursory search, but I haven't been able to find a ton of real world reviews about those soccer/basketball action modes. The reviews I did see say they're pretty good, but not earth shattering.

In any case, super excited to check it out.

I unterstand completely. In 2022, I went on a safari in Kenya. I was facing the same dilemma as you are right now. In the end, I decided to upgrade my 100-400mm lens with the RF 100-500mm and the 1.4 extender and I kept the EOS R. For most part I did fine and got great pics, but when I spotted a fast running leopard I only managed to get two sharp pics and basically 50 unusable ones. In 2022, prices for the R6 and R5 were still (also covid related) very high, so I opted the other route. The R7 didn't ship in time... my initial idea was to pair the R7 and the R. Oh well, still did good/ great pics.

For you, depending on your budget, I´d consider the following scenarios:
- get a R7 + 200-800mm and go with a two cameras. The R is great for landscapes and slowy moving animals like elephants and giraffes.
- get a used R6 + 200-800mm and take a two camera set-up as mentioned above. The R6 AF is not on par with mkii, but still lightyears better for wildlife than the R.
- sell the R, get the R6mkii
- sell the R, get the R6mkii, sell the Sigma and get your dream lens.

The price for the R6iii will be sky high for about 12-18 months. First cash backs/ discounts usually run at 250 $. Until it hits the price point of 2.200 $/€ it will be a while.

In Germany, the differences between a used EOS R and R6 on eBay are about ≈ 400 €, if you're lucky even just 300 €. Maybe you could sell the R, get the R6, be for happy for now and get the R6iii for Black Friday 2026/ 2027 and end up with a great two camera set-up. That´d be my way to go. If I ever go on a Safari again, I´d definitely bring a two camera setup.

Thank you for your insights. But I will keep the R for landscapes, astro and as a backup. And I know the frustration of trying to shoot moving animals with it. I'll upgrade the lens first and see what 2026 will bring to the table...

Sure, but from a very reliable company, Panamoz. The price was 2/3rds. of what I would have paid buying from French, German or Italian stores.
I can understand a real store with employees, situated in an expensive area, needs a higher margin. But, since I don't need a demo or any other service, I prefer to buy where I get the same items, legally, fully taxed (!!!) , at a much lower price, and a 3 years no fuss warranty.
On the other hand, if I need service or some explanations about a product, I buy where I get them. I think it's being dishonest to try on shoes in a store, only to order them online later on.

Two questions about panamoz:
1.) If my camera needs a repair (maybe after years): would I be able to send to Canon CPS? Or would I have to take elsewhere?
2.) If I have to send in my camera to panamoz, does it have to leave the country?
