New Canon EOS R6 Mark III Specifications Revealed

[Canon Rumors]

The Canon EOS R6 Mark III will be the next full-frame camera from Canon, and it will be a massive launch for Canon. Things have been fairly quiet about the camera for the last couple of months, but it was rumored to be announced later this month.

I hope it will have sound record for high framerate videos!

Would be nice to have it finally on the market :S...

Built-in microphones suck anyway, why would you want it to be built-in in any case?

That "Brand new 24MP sensor, stacked CMOS" could be one thing that'll make me change - if it is much better than the Mark II sensor.
Other specs would make me stay with my R6m2.
But I suppose, me and other Mark II users are not the main target market.

 

[Aldherrian]

On the "pricing hints" part, there's not really some pricing hints for the mark 3 apart from recent price history of the mark 2

Might be too early to try to guess a price tag before we have any certainty on the spec sheet anyway

You are the main market.
There's no escape, you'll have to buy it!
No, don't even think of arguing!

I'm pretty sure that "new" 24 MP stacked sensor is a cheap version of the R3 sensor adapted for mass production at a scale that will allow the final price of the R6 Mark III to be as close to the sweet spot of $2500 as much as possible.

It might even have the same specs as whaat's in the R3 but they are just being respectful of the feelings of those who plucked $6K to purchase the original R3.

Built-in microphones suck anyway, why would you want it to be built-in in any case?

Two reasons come to my mind. It's easier to record and sync audio from other devices without a clap board. There's always people making videos only by themselves; for such people it must be better to have audio that sucks than no audio at all.

Im hoping they improve the EVF.

Ok but you're arguing for a very niche use-case here. Imo if you do that kind of stuff, you should have dedicated hardware anyway

No doubt the R6III will have a multifunction shoe connection meaning it will work with Canon's DM-E1D microphone as well as the Tascam XLR adapter.

Im hoping they improve the EVF.

And, just dreaming, they add a top LCD...

 

[Steve_FR]

Perhaps we may see a “V” version of the R6III with the R50V exterior.

What do you think the next “V” camera might be? Pipedream: R5cIIV (Roman Numeral Trainwreck).

Built-in microphones suck anyway, why would you want it to be built-in in any case?

There’s nothing forcing someone to use a built in microphone, just attach an external microphone through the mic port or the smart shoe. You’re arguing for something you seemingly don’t use or need, but there are plenty of people who want the option to record audio in 120fps. I personally like to use it and find it nice useful.

 

[Maximilian]

What do you think the next “V” camera might be?

If I had to make a bet, I would set my money on an R8 V or a successor of that R8.

Pipedream: R5cIIV (Roman Numeral Trainwreck).

That "Roman numeral train wreck" made me really
About the pipe dream: better don't bet a cent on it.

 

[blackcoffee17]

I think the stacked sensor is almost a given because of the competition.

 

[Rocco Germani]

6K 60fps is a surprise to be sure, but a welcome one nonetheless.

I initially thought they wouldn’t do it because they didn’t in the C80, but the Z6III is certainly pushing the envelope.

All these specs on a stacked sensor check all the boxes for me. Going to be an awesome camera for sure.

And, just dreaming, they add a top LCD...

As a migrant from a 5dmk3 to an r5m2, and heavy user of the top LCD on the former, I *never* use the top LCD on my r5m2. In fact, I find myself thinking Canon could do away with the top LCD for more programmable buttons.

I doubt this applies for the r6m3, but my experience with mirrorless cameras is I'm much less dependent on the top LCD with the information available in the EVF. Not saying anyone is right or wrong, just my personal preference.

I have no idea how many people use an R6 by themselves to make videos vs R6 with someone with dedicated equipment / additional people vs higher and lower tier cameras in both scenarios.

 

[navastronia]

Nice! Not clamoring for one right now, but I could see getting 2 of these later in the product cycle. Would be a nice upgrade then over my R6 mk I.
