Canon France has teased a new image of the EOS R6 Mark III before the official announcement on November 6, 2025 at 01:00AM New York Time (GMT-5). Canon USA previously teased the back of the camera which you can see below.
The pricing for the body in the EU is 2899, and the US price for the body only is $2799. You can see all the kit pricing in the US here.
We haven’t heard anything new over the last couple of days about the R63. There will probably be a race to get things out once retailers have all the assets to get their web sites ready and, and in turn ends up elsewhere on the internet. If there’s anything core specification wise that does hit our inbox, I will report on it.
Canon EOS R6 Mark III Specifications
- 32MP Full-Frame CMOS (Non-stacked)
- DIGIC X Processor
- It doesn’t appear to have the DIGIC Accelerator. (I haven’t been told that outright)

- AF areas are the same as the EOS R5 Mark II and EOS R1

- This would suggest a pretty quick sensor. The EOS R1, which has the fastest readout speed of any CMOS sensor is 1/320-1/500 and the the EOS R5 Mark II is 1/320-1/400 (Thanks for the correction)

- Update: This feature let’s you select frame rates based on a multiplication factor more efficiently. If you’re shooting at 24fps, you can easily switch to 12fps by selecting 0.5x or double the frame rate by selecting 2x. I don’t know if there are other multiplication settings.

Are you going to buy the EOS R6 Mark III?
I’ll answer that first. Yes, I am going to buy the EOS R6 Mark III. It’s not because the EOS R6 and EOS R6 Mark II aren’t going to be capable cameras for a long time, but I simply like buying the latest iteration in a camera line if I don’t have the previous camera. Warranty is also nice.
I do use an R6 for SCUBA shooting, but that’s its only purpose. When I spring a leak because I forgot to do something, the R6 is the sacrifice.
Other than underwater camera, I don’t have a smallish Canon camera. I only have R1s, and you can’t go out and about with one of those. Well, I guess you can, but people do stare at you. I don’t really like that.
I love my VCM prime lenses, and they would be nice to use on a smaller body. There is also a high likelihood that the EOS R6 Mark III will support the aperture ring on VCM lenses for photography,. That’s a small thing that’s a big deal to me.
For the EOS R6 & EOS R6 Mark II shooter, I’d like to know if there are compelling reasons to buy the latest in the 6-series lineup. You can sound off on the forum.
I’m going to open a new thread to read your thoughts, as the other R63 thread is now 600+ comments.
But I'm 99% sure the photo from Alan Photo is just a mockup - an edited photo of the R6II. I think it is also confirmed by the new image from Canon France. Look at the microphone holes. It looks like they are on top. When looking at photo from Alan Photo they sit at the front just as they do on R6II.
For you, depending on your budget, I´d consider the following scenarios:
- get a R7 + 200-800mm and go with a two cameras. The R is great for landscapes and slowy moving animals like elephants and giraffes.
- get a used R6 + 200-800mm and take a two camera set-up as mentioned above. The R6 AF is not on par with mkii, but still lightyears better for wildlife than the R.
- sell the R, get the R6mkii
- sell the R, get the R6mkii, sell the Sigma and get your dream lens.
The price for the R6iii will be sky high for about 12-18 months. First cash backs/ discounts usually run at 250 $. Until it hits the price point of 2.200 $/€ it will be a while.
In Germany, the differences between a used EOS R and R6 on eBay are about ≈ 400 €, if you're lucky even just 300 €. Maybe you could sell the R, get the R6, be for happy for now and get the R6iii for Black Friday 2026/ 2027 and end up with a great two camera set-up. That´d be my way to go. If I ever go on a Safari again, I´d definitely bring a two camera setup.
Thing is, I mostly shoot my kids sports and they play soccer/futsal and basketball. I'm really excited to try the action priority settings (in concert with the low light boost for futsal and basketball).
Only did a cursory search, but I haven't been able to find a ton of real world reviews about those soccer/basketball action modes. The reviews I did see say they're pretty good, but not earth shattering.
In any case, super excited to check it out.
Not yet, that should come today and the pricing.
