We had a bit of a hiatus this week dealing with some behind-the-scenes things, but those are coming close to being fully resolved and it will be business as usual.
Canon EOS R6 Mark III
It looks like the long-awaited Canon EOS R6 Mark III will finally be announced in late November. As previously reported, there are likely Canon announcements on November, 16, 2025 and November 26, 2025.
Keep in mind those are the dates that we were told, but may be different in your timezone.
Four New Lenses
We have also been told that Canon will announce four lenses some time in November. It's possible that all 4 won't be announced on the same day.
The first three lenses here are the most likely after to talking to people, but no one has said that they're 100% certain. The RF 45mm f/1.2 STM and RF 20-50mm f/4 PZ are both for full-frame and were leaked in a Canon India survey. We have spoken to others and both lenses are legitimate.
The RF 300-600mm f/4-5.6L USM has been long-rumored in various forums, but we're confident this is a lens that we're going to see.
- Canon RF 45mm F1.2 STM
- Canon RF 20-50mm F4 PZ
- Canon RF 300-600mm f/4-5.6L IS USM
The fourth lens we haven't been able to confirm, but it has come up twice in the last little while.
- Canon RF 24-70mm f/2.8L IS VCM (Or maybe USM)
More to come
We should have a lot more information about next month's big announcements which we'll be able to publish late next week.
And when do you think, can you narrow all the announcement dates?
A wild speculation/ guess/ question on my side: will the R8mkii one day inherit the 32 MP sensor?

No, it's a traditional, non-stacked, front side illuminated sensor - at least the specifications don't say otherwise, and they usually do when it's the case.
While I wouldn't use exactly the word "disappointed", I was hoping for the sensor of the R3 as well, as I've been saying for years.
This camera will be an easy pass, to me. I'll consider adding a R6 Mark II as main camera, or a R8 as a second camera body, since they're cheaper options and get me as close to my needs/desires as this R6 III.
Last week I just ignored the R6 II for 1680€ in my country, and today the R8 is at 999€ on Amazon, so they're a lot easier to afford.
A second R6 II would actually be perfect for me if I have to carry two cameras at events, fingers crossed the prices drop after the III gets announced.
Wild for canon or just in general?? They already have the 10-20/4 following their ef11-24/4 which are wild for zooms.
14/1.4 and 14/1.8 in different mounts and samyang’s veritable 14/2.8 and 14/2.4 have been available for some time.
Canon’s original EF14/2.8 in 1991 and updated in 2007 were expensive and clearly not a priority since. Their 16/2.8 is the token wide prime today.
‘Wild’ would mean either wider than 14mm and/or very fast. Either or especially both would equal very expensive
Over 1 year of rumors... at least I was ecpeting the R3 sensor... then the 30MP?! nice... but only if its stacked and backsite iluminated -.-"...? but this would be also something for a R1II R3 II.... sad. So we get a new slow sensor. maybe in early 2026?! holy shit. so long.
I won't upgrade I think. Also I would love to have 30MP...
These AI charts are amazing. Seeing this and how slow the FX2 is, I can't believe Sony actually released it this month of this year. Unless they release the FX3 Mark II soon its hard not to imagine Canon and Nikon taking market share back from Sony.
Now I'm praying for R7ii be stacked CMOS...
I would guess the R5M3 will go up in resolution and speed, maybe inherit the quad pixel AF (or perhaps that'ld be saved for a future variant) R1M2 perhaps going global shutter? Which would leave room for the R3 to become the pro-bodied rolling shutter camera.
And maybe we'd get an R1S or R3S with the R5M3's sensor
