It’s Canon EOS R6 Mark III Week With a Fresh Teaser
- Thread starter Canon Rumors
- Start date
Whereas I wouldn't have got the 35 (or maybe even the 16) if they didn't allow reasonably close focus.

I think you are right in that the hood won't move. Just double checked my rf 100-400 and Canon marks it differently for hood alignment if it moves with barrel (unlike the red dot on outer barrel). The EF and RF L both have internal focusing ala filter seal so it could very likely be so for this one.View attachment 226766
Do you mean red? That would move the lens hood as well, but this is not a lens hood that attaches to the filter thread, like they usually do on pancake lenses.
I mean green. I think the elements may move, but such movement would be limited by the position of the filter, much like the RF 50mm f/1.2

Anyway, we'll certainly know within a few hours

Boy oh boy. Now I have some thinking to do. As I get older, not having IBIS seems like it is starting to become a problem. I've recently developed a bit of a tremor in my right hand that I imagine it's only a matter of time before it starts affecting things some. When I bought my R8, it kind of boiled down to whether the R6ii was worth an extra $1K to me just because it has IBIS. At that time, it was a pretty easy no. Especially since I was on a limited budget for the upgrade. Now? With discounts and holiday sale prices, that difference has dropped down to $600 - and will likely get even lower. Meanwhile, my use for IBIS has grown - and will likely continue to grow. Initially I was all onboard with the idea of upgrading into the R6iii because I liked the little resolution bump. But the difference in cost right now is $700-800 over the R6ii. And I'm kind of hung on that. I've gotten along quite well on 24mpx. And I am now shooting both photos and video professionally for a boat racing team. I presently shoot with an R8 and R10 combo, using the R10 for the video work that I do for them as well as some telephoto stills. It's a great pairing, and I envisioned my R6iii jump as being the first step, with the R10 being replaced by the R7ii when it drops. Though I don't need the IBIS as much for the racing photo/video work, I do think it would be helpful for my hobby work. But maybe instead of going all-in right now, I could use the R6ii as a stepping stone, give it a couple of years to make sure IBIS is right for me, and use the extra money on an R50V to make the video setup even smaller and more portable when I am traveling to race sites. Tempting...

The camera looks really nice and I love the specs! I love they kept the camera layout exactly the same! I think Canon is settling in. I´d only wish for a different rear screen mechanism. If I hadn't gotten the R5 last year, this would be my new cameraTo me, 32 MP (12,5 MP in crop mode) is an absolute sweet spot! 45 MP sometimes really is too much, especially when shooting kids on sports day... First world problems.
An interesting side note: There were rumors/ mumblings once of the R8ii getting a stacked if the R6iii gets one because in order to cut costs they share the same sensor. Well, thats obviously off the table (if it ever actually was on the table). I don't even believe the R8ii would get the R6iii sensor. In terms of market segmentation, it makes sense to keep the R8 at 24 MP. So I'll go ahead and purchase an R8
If the original R6 finally drops in resell value, I´d strongly consider it as well. I am shooting two christening, a diamond wedding, a 60th and a 50th birthday in my family/ friend circle next year. Looking forward to a two camera set-up
Out of the three: IBIS, joystick and wheel, I would expect the joystick to be the most likely to be added, simply because the cheaper R10 has a joystick. I really like the R8. I have many cameras, so my comments are very skewed, but for me the main attraction of the R8 is the form-factor. The IQ it delivers is outstanding. I do wish an R8 II added a wheel instead of the D-Pad in the back, maybe a joystick and IBIS. I like the concept of smaller body + higher end features. It is tricky, though, from a segmentation point of view. Perhaps have an RP II as the low-cost entry level FF and let the R8 line be the high-end smaller form-factor FF camera.
The same goes for the R50. I'd wish to see higher end features for that form-factor. I love the portability and paired with the Sigma APS-C RF lenses (10-18mm f/2.8, 18-50mm f/2.8, 56mm f/1.4, etc) it makes for a very nice travel system. I'd pay for a higher end model with an improved sensor in that form-factor, with more wheels, etc.
The EOS M system did have more of the high end features in small form-factor feel to it. I wish some of that moves over to the RF system.

Given how popular the M50ii and M6ii were outside of the US, I am still really really surprised that those tiny form factors haven't found their way to the R series. I honestly expected it well before now.

I think this camera could be my first Canon mirrorless to get, i mean i can't afford Canon from R1 down to R5 mkii yet, I stopped photography long time ago, and i want to return back with something latest affordable camera from Canon, R6 mkIII sounds a good start, and later i can save for something better, if i want more longer time to save money or waiting very latest camera then i will never buy anything.

One other possibility would be to get a new R5 Mk I on sale this month. Great IQ, better DR than the R5 Mk II with mechanical shutter, excellent AF, and great value. Just a thought...

Once the new R6 Mark III hits the market, the R5 will disappear from authorized Canon dealer's shelves (except in the "used' department).

Even though I prefer an open system with many lens suppliers, I would prefer the term "protection of intellectual property" or "patent protection" instead of "blocking".
No one is holding Sigma or Tamron or else back from developing their own camera ecosystem.
Point is they failed in being successful with it, see Sigma.
Maybe, Canon is not "blocking", but, in the back room, the lens suppliers are not willing to agree to the terms Canon is offering...
Again, I don't hear many complains about Apple not opening their ecosystem.

It’s a surprise the Mark III being built the same way as the two previous generations?
The R6s have been using magnesium bodies since their first model.

But that could be included anyway, they just needed to make the lenses long enough to cover the movement, and we’d all be happy
We have basic internal focus like the RF 50mm f/1.2, delimited by the filter
As expected, the lens is being shown mostly with the R8, so I wouldn’t expect a lot of quality for you, R5 users.
