Canon EOS R6 Mark III & RF 45 F1.2 STM November 6

[David - Sydney]

I'd be wary of buying cards from anyone but proper camera stores as there's a lot of counterfeit cards floating around and when you can buy a decent card from B&H for USD $68 why take the risk? https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/prod...e_128g_ancnn_128gb_extreme_pro_cfexpress.html

The assertion was that cfe cards are much more expensive than sd cards which I am disputing.
You can get cheap sd cards and cheap cfe cards. Any decent cfe cards are still cheaper than the same size equivalent sd cards but still much faster

So: 34.2mp, €2900, the same LCD mechanism... More pixels, more money, same LCD mechanism, not much above my R6II... I'll keep it till a "new" R6IV.

The primary target audience of incremental upgrades is people who don't have the previous model.

I have the original R6 and I don't feel like I need to update to the new R6 mk III. All being said, I have an R3 too, but the original R6 still doubles as a great second camera.

And, if I'm not mistaken, the R8 cannot be fitted with a battery-grip, should you need one.

There is, 3rd party battery grips are available to RP/R8 as their doors are detachable. Unlike R7&the rest of the RF APS-C bodies. The only downside is you need an external shutter cable in order to make the shutter button works. Other than that it it's still light and provides much batter run-time for the R8.

CFB cards are in fact cheaper than SD cards in China, a CFB card with continuous sequential writing speed of 400MB/s, 256g is 298 CNY (42 USD), 512g is 398 CNY; while a v30 sd card, 256g is 339 CNY, 512g is 599 CNY, not to mention v60 and v90.

Except when the price increases this much for so few added features, the primary audience may just buy the previous model.

Is it just me or are most of these specs not actually better?

The same or worse specs:

• 64,000 ISO vs 102,400 ISO (R6ii)
• Same 2 SD card slots
• 6.5 stops of IBIS vs 8 stops (R6ii)
• Same precapture
• Same dual pixel autofocus
• Call it the same 14.6 dynamic range as R6ii
• Same passive cooling
• Higher US price $2,899 vs $2,499 (R6ii)
• Same price in euros 2,899

Better specs (confirmed):

• 9 more pixel sensor
• Open gate

Unconfirmed better specs:

• Full size HDMI port
• 56% more dots in EVF
• DIGIC accelerator (presumably the one in R5 Mk II)

A bit low on new features if you ask me, especially at that price point (USA) anyway.

If you want to put it that way, you should probably make the same comparison between the original R6 and the Mark II.

Anyway...

6.5 stops of IBIS vs 8 stops (R6ii)

All cameras are rated at 6.5 stops of IBIS, it's just a few lenses that are rated at 8 stops when paired with the cameras, not the cameras on their own.

Same dual pixel autofocus

There's just two versions of dual pixel AF, the original is on the R100, EOS R, RP, and older cameras. Dual Pixel AF II is on everything else. Are you asking for what doesn't exist?

Same precapture

We don't know that. The R6 Mark II depends on Canon DPP for using pre capture.

Same 2 SD card slots

Hope so.

• Higher US price $2,899 vs $2,499 (R6ii)

Blame your president.


You quoted it, yet you really missed the meaning of this sentence:

I was very exciting about the r6 mkiii.. but now, i feel a bit dissapointed... No need more MP, dont come with digic acelerator.. probably go for the r5 mkii if i see a good offer next month.

 

[SnowMiku]

I have searched for this and couldn't find any clear information, are the older DSLR's, say the 6D, 7D II, 80D etc compatible with the new LP-E6P battery?

It will work just fine (but the capacity is no better than an LP-E6NH, so there is no benefit in using it).

 

[Canon Rumors]

I added an image of the RF 45 f/1.2 STM in relation to some kind of random camera body.

 

[Radiomusic]

This is checking all the boxes for a perfect video camera and photo aswell.
I love my R6II but if this one has even better autofocus, 4k120fps and CLOG2 this is a WINNER for sure. Will change my old R for this one and R6II becomes second body

When people do these kinds of superficial spreadsheet analyses of cameras, I wonder if they actually use cameras or just read about them on the internet. A ~40% increase in resolution is a big enough upgrade to not warrant much else, and for me personally addresses one of the R6's biggest flaws.

Most of the people that debate cars would crash on the first turn.

 

[m4ndr4ke]

I added an image of the RF 45 f/1.2 STM in relation to some kind of random camera body.

The lens looks nice. I'd say is slightly longer than the RF 35mm f/1.8, slightly wider as well, I suppose that's a 58 to 62mm filter thread, maybe 67 max.

If the double gauss design is confirmed, this could be a successor to the EF50mm f/1.2 L, this time aimed at enthusiasts. A very interesting proposition.

What I really want to know is if has internal or external focusing, and what kind of STM it features. At the point I'm at, those are attributes that may make it or break it, to me.

Is there any vague comment you can add about the lens?

It'll be the latest STM motor. Going by the image, and I may just see things incorrectly, there will be some external focusing.

which brand dude？

I am too very excited coming from an r6 mk I. It kind of gives me a 1.26 ((32/20)^0.5) teleconverter to my 100-500 mm. That combined with a usable electronic shutter and hopefully better dynamic range than r5 mk II sounds amazing to me

external focusing in a 600$ lens, but it is F1.2, just ok.

S&F mode would be really interesting to me - especially if it includes 360 deg shutter up to 1 fps recording speed (R50 V is limited to 1/8 second).
If they add the autolevel feature included in the R7 (keeping the horizon straight by sensor rotation) than it might be the 2nd FF body alongside the R6 ii!
Interesting, expensive and a little bit weird time. Would be easier for me to buy a software upgrade to get both in the firmware which should be possible easily.
