Canon EOS R3 Mark II Coming the First Week of February?

Multimedia focused R3 ii might be something close to global shutter.
Canon is very conservative, maybe they say 2msec readout (just a number thrown in by me) is close to global shutter and they try to keep other parameters high instead of sacrificing something for global shutter.
Partially stacked might be the only thing to achieve this to bring the data rates from the sensor arrangement to the CPU down during the actual readout.
For me I will maybe wait if this trickles down to e.g. an R7 iii ... if R7 ii will not surprise us with that feature.

A high res R3 II would make some sense to me - and it could be something I'd consider buying... depending on the whole package.
A global shutter R3 II would make less sense to me since it could be faster than the R1 which would "threaten" its "sport flagship" status.

The main selling point of the R1 is speed + high iso image quality combined, not speed alone

The Canon EOS R3 Mark II rumor fest is back in full force apparently. We are receiving an increasing number of emails about the camera coming in the next few months. I talked about a new R3 earlier this month and I'm of the belief that if it doesn't come before CP+ at the end […]

If there is R3 with 50MP sensor, than the R5III will have to have something much bigger than that so it will contonue to be "different" from it. The R1 will be the "fastest" thing around with lower resolution (as the 1D were) the R5 will be the "camera with the most MP" and the R3 will be somewhere in the middle while it features new things that later will come to the R1 (2) and the R5 (3).

Will it? The z9 and z8 are essentially the same except for the body and both still do well and have people that think one is much better than the other.

R6mkiii did move up in resolution though and if R3 is also getting a big bump maybe the R5 series will bump up to 60-80mp next

This is exciting news... it'll be interesting to see where Canon goes with the R3 II.

I'll hold-off on my Hasselblad 2Dx II purchase... would prefer a high resolution (100MP is preferred) Canon with a built-in grip! Yes, I currently have a R5 II and have added a grip.

The R5 can occupy the under 100MP range, while the R3 occupies the 100MP and up range.

Well, let's see.

Back in ancient times, such as most of the 20th Century, the quadrennial Winter and Summer Games were held in the same years only about six months apart.

Then the Olympic organization decided to offset the Winter games by a couple of years. This first occurred in 1994 with the Lillehammer, Norway games just two years after the 1992 Winter and 1992 Summer Olympiads.

Canon, upon learning of this development by the IOC, considered the possibility of creating two different types of "flagship" cameras with integrated grip bodies so they could also alternate introducing one at each Olympiad, Winter and Summer, while refreshing each model on a four year cycle.

Being a conservative organization, Canon carefully considered and discussed all options at great length. Canon finally came to a decision regarding the question raised in 1994 when they decided to create the EOS R3 series in concert with the Winter Games in 2022 while continuing to refresh the R1 series every four years timed to coincide with the Summer Olympiad.
