Some information about the R6 Mark III seems to be out on Weibo. This information was posted by user E8M_8888.
First the registration information. The Canon model number of the camera is presumed to be DS126941. Since the R6 Mark III is a prosumer-grade camera, having dual-band wifi as per this certification information seems to fit the mold
The wifi certification information (machine-translated) is shown below.
Weibo has been hit or miss in the past, especially with information that goes beyond the wifi certification information, so while this sniffs to be something close to what we have thought, some of the information may not be entirely accurate. But since everyone else is reporting it, here we are.
Canon EOS R6 Mark III Specifications (Third-Party Rumored)
- 24-megapixel LC1720 sensor.
- DIGIC Accelerator accelerated processor, 8.5-stop collaborative image stabilization.
- Same focus system as EOS R5 II.
- Highly reliable 14-bit 30fps RAW electronic shutter continuous shooting, reading speed 1/180s.
- In-camera neural network noise reduction and high-resolution magnification.
- Supports XF-AVC S and XF-HEVC S recording of C4K/120p (S35) and 6K oversampled C4K.
- Supports 6K30p and 4K60p (S35) Cinema RAW Light recording.
These specifications seem to be close to what we expected. Mentioning the part number of the sensor is a little unusual for a high-level rumour, but it does check out, as techinsights has determined that the R3 sensor is Canon's part number LC1720.
It could be that a little truth gets stuffed into a rumour and the rest is fiction, and we haven't had much in the way of specification confirmation at this time. I would take the 10,000-foot level information as accurate since that's what we've already known but I wouldn't go about preordering based on the video specifications and neural network features quite yet ;)
I will say this, if the specifications and features are accurate, then this is quite the shot across Sony and Nikon's bows as the R6 Mark II is continually a monthly best-selling camera body. This would certainly mean that Canon seems to be determined to make it far better while they still have the momentum.

In Canon's official strategy document they write in bold text "Achieve overwhelming No. 1 share in mirrorless camera market with full lineup of EOSR system". They aspire to make popular products that increase their mirrorless market share.
R5ii notably appears to have less signal processing done to the raws than other recent Canon cameras. Similar to Sony’s A7R5 and A1 (but aren’t labeled as having NR on the photonstopixels site)
There is suspected to be low pass filtering but that could be necessary for other reasons than simply NR.
also, under most cases you'd never be able to detect a difference anyways.
Guess you need to analyze which is more critical for you..... do a chart and compare....
Should be obvious, but anything like that which is listed as a feature will be able to be turned off in settings.
Like the blur detector and other features: JPEG only.
This camera hardly cries out BUY ME. No real innovation, just a few add ons to attach to the parts recycle bin. And you'll be able to steal this camera and sell it as well, since no security features. And because of insta's crap crop ratios, it would be nice of canon to maybe extend its range of ratios to match social media platforms and maybe even add ratios to raw files as well if thats possible. Think ahead Canon, c'mon. Every criticism thats's been levelled on the R5ii like wobbling etc, fix ALL of that, maybe throw in global shutter at an affordable price and beat sony. Improve the noise performance at iso6400 and higher. Make sure no reviewer can find any negatives about the camera.
