Buckle up, photography enthusiasts! The latest Canon rumors are buzzing with excitement as they hint at the upcoming Canon EOS R6 III, set to hit the market in November. This powerhouse could inherit a stabilized 32MP sensor from the recent EOS C50, giving it a significant edge over its competitors.
The current EOS R6 II has been a stellar all-rounder since its January 2023 release, giving the Sony A7 IV a run for its money. However, the Nikon Z6 III managed to snatch the crown in a few areas. But Canon might just turn the tables with the new EOS R6 III, if the rumors are anything to go by.
Canon Rumors suggests that the EOS R6 III will borrow sensor tech from the EOS C50, including a stabilized 32MP full-frame sensor and open gate video recording. This resolution bump from the EOS R6 II’s 24MP could see it outdo the Nikon Z6 III in detail, while open gate video recording would set it apart from Nikon and Sony rivals.
Mark your calendars, folks! Canon Rumors is tipping the EOS R6 III for a November 6 announcement, with a predicted price tag of €2,899 (around $3,100 / £2,600 / AU$5,000).
While the rumors are silent on potential design changes, we might see a similar control layout to the EOS R6 II. As for specs, the EOS R6 III is rumored to feature a 34.2MP sensor delivering 32MP stills, with 7K video and up to 6.5EV stabilization. We can also expect Canon’s Dual Pixel CMOS AF II with enhanced subject detection and up to 40fps burst shooting using the electronic shutter.
But the real game-changer could be open gate video recording, setting the EOS R6 III apart from the Z6 III and the rumored Sony A7 V. While the A7 V is expected to compete in terms of resolution, it might fall short in video capabilities.
Looks like Canon and Sony are gearing up for a thrilling finish to 2025. Which camera are you rooting for? Let us know in the comments below!
