Canon Officially Announces the Canon EOS R6 Mark III

[Richard CR]

Today, Canon has released the Canon EOS R6 Mark III that we have been breathlessly waiting for. The upgrades from its predecessors are quite important if you are either a stills photographer or a videographer. The R6 Mark III features a new 32.5-megapixel full-frame CMOS DPAF AF II sensor, a modest but important increase from […]

Hooray! Waiting and guessing is over!
Prices also as expected (and of course too high ), In Germany 2899,- incl. VAT.
Now let's see the first RL hands on and sensor measurements and until then all the whiners whine

Price in the Netherlands is 2949€ (incl. VAT).

I'm Looking forward to seeing the sensor readout speed compared to the R6 II. The original 6D I have is an amateur full frame body but now the 6 series has truly evolved to a professional body. I wonder if the R6 III will effect R5 II sales going forward?

@Canon Rumors and @Richard CR:
Does this "new" mean, it is indeed a new sensor or the expected re-use of the (still quite new) EOS C50?

I'm waiting for actual hands on reviews but on first thought, I don't like the mixed cards.
Never owned CFE cards and SD cards are more than enough for me. I was plenty satisfied with dual SD but I would get used to replace the SD card in place of letting the camera fill the second one when the first comes full

 

[Taylorv166]

Any confirmation if this has the dual base iso from the C50?

It is effectively Canon's latest and newest sensor.

It is effectively Canon's latest and newest sensor.

Forgive me for not using a better term as I did
But from your answer it is still not 100% clear if it is the same sensor as the C50's (as rumored) the or an even newer one (maybe slightly improved).

I agree, getting to play with the raw files in Lightroom will give us all an informed perspective on the R6iii's noise and image quality.
However, the max iso has been reduced from the R6ii by 2/3rd of a stop. thisis uaully an indicator from Canon as to it's expected hit on the increased noise threshold those extra mp cause. If the ios noise between the R6ii to R5 was a whole stop then this increase in rez will affect the noise too. So maybe 1/2 to 2/3rd of a stop is about right.
this morning, I've heared numerous youtube influencers talking about the great features of the R6iii....most of these great features are alredy present in the R6ii....which goes to show how good the R6ii is / was.
Here in the Uk, the launch price is around £2700 GDP...whcih is very high considering I can buy a new R5ii (via grey import) for the same price. A mint used R5 for £1600 and a new R6ii (grey) for on;y £1350....for only a few new fetures...that's a lot of £££ for not a lot of benefits. I can literally buy a pair of R6ii's for the launch price of one R6iii.
I think if I was looking to jump from DSLR to mirrorless, this would be a great camera. I think upgraders from the EOS R and R6mk1 have a lot of milage in this upgrade. but for existing R6ii users....it's more of an expensive side grade. Slightly improved, more of an evolution that definatly builds on the shoulders of it's great predecessor. If Canon continues selling their R6ii alongside the R6iii, then the R6ii may become the true bargain of the canon range.

Regarding previously discussed speed of flash-sync. This is from Canon Europe spec-sheet:

When [Cropping/aspect ratio: Full-frame] is set: 1/200 sec mechanical shutter / 1/250 electronic 1st curtain,
When [Cropping/aspect ratio: 1.6x (crop)] is set: 1/250 sec mechanical shutter / 1/320 electronic 1st curtain.

So the 1/320s sync speed is for 1.6x crop electronic 1st curtain.

As expected for non-stacked sensor, no flash sync using fully electronic shutter.

Thanks for pointing that out. Two hours ago I almost stepped into that "trap", not finding the spec sheets at that time.

Additional gouda tax...

Worse still in the UK, as we say over here "hard cheddar". Exchange rate equivalent is ~€3200, the usual mark up of about 10% by Canon EU. So, unless we are desperate wait until the grey market reliable sellers have it, usually 20-30% below UK list price.

Now just need further confirmation if the 40fps electronic shutter is 14bit RAW. All the Sony fanboys I know IRL keep nagging me about this. I need facts to shut them up

 

[McMacmac]

3.000 € in South Africa. But at least today 75€ cheaper than the Mii (the price will drop tomorrow to 1750€).

 

[McMacmac]

For Milky Way photography a 10x Magnified Image Display would be disappointing. Hope they bumped that to at least 15x.

 

[Exploreshootshare]

Does the R6iii have cross type AF? I can't find it anywhere so I´m guessing no.

That is the price at 3 large retailers. At canon.nl you pay 2949,99€, so 99 cents more. What tax is that?
