Grab your calendars, pencils, and erasers, because the Canon EOS R6 Mark III will officially be announced on November 6, 2025. Probably. Unless Canon wakes up that morning and decides they’d rather confuse us some more.

Alongside the camera, Canon will also drop the RF 45mm f/1.2 STM, a lens nobody asked for but everyone will immediately convince themselves they need. The other three rumored lenses are apparently fashionably late and will join the party “later in November,” which in Canon time means somewhere between mid-month and the heat death of the universe.

Mark Your Calendars… Cautiously

Rumor HQ says there are two NDAs expiring, one on November 16, another on November 26. But remember: an NDA expiration date does not equal an announcement date. It’s just a fun way to get everyone to panic-refresh Twitter.

Also, because Canon apparently spins a globe to pick their time zones, announcements may drop on November 17 or 25, depending on where you live. Somewhere, someone will be asleep when it happens.

Could there be a typo? Possibly. But admitting that would require humility, so we’re just gonna say “no.”

One of those dates will likely be for new lenses, and the other? Who knows…maybe a PowerShot, an ImagePROGRAF printer, or a Selphy that finally prints in less than one geologic epoch.

EOS R6 Mark III: Now With Extra Megapixels and a Side of Confusion

Here’s what’s (allegedly) confirmed, until it isn’t:

• 34.2MP / 32MP sensor (same one as the Cinema EOS C50—because recycling is eco-friendly)
• Dual Pixel CMOS AF II with multiple subject detection (yes, it’ll spot both your cat and your existential dread)
• IBIS rated at 6.5 stops
• Pre-capture mode for when your reflexes aren’t
• 40fps electronic shutter
• Max ISO 64,000 (for when you want your photo to look like it was taken through a bowl of sand)
• Open gate recording
• €2899 / $2899 (give or take your region’s emotional damage tax)
• Shipping late November (tentatively, naturally)

Retailers haven’t received official pricing yet, which is Canon’s polite way of saying “we’ll decide what you can afford later.”

Canon RF 45mm f/1.2 STM: Because 45mm Is the New 50mm

Price: €599.
Purpose: Unclear.
Marketing tagline: Probably something about “versatility” and “bokeh that tells a story.”

Potato Leaks and Promises

Yes, there’s already a “potato image” of the R6 Mark III floating around. It’s blurry, overexposed, and perfect, ust the way the rumor gods intended. The source swears there’s “more to come soon,” which we all know translates to: even more chaotic speculation, but this time with JPEGs. Also, the author promises to “put some skin in the game” if wrong, but clarifies that he’s not buying everyone an R6 Mark III. Tragic, really.

Final Thoughts (or Whatever This Is)

So, November 6 is the date. Until it’s not. The specs are confirmed. Until they aren’t. And the price is tentative. Which is basically confirmation in rumorland.

One thing’s certain, though: Canon has mastered the art of the slow-burn tease. And we’ll all still be here, popcorn in hand, refreshing the page anyway.

The R6 Mark III will reveal itself in its own time, like a moody artist or a firmware update.

[via CR]

After a short “hiatus” (read: Canon-related chaos behind the curtain), the rumor mill is back, refreshed, caffeinated, and ready to speculate irresponsibly. Apparently, everything’s almost sorted, so we can return to our regularly scheduled programming of “this might happen, unless it doesn’t.”

Canon EOS R6 Mark III: The Camera That Exists in Schrödinger’s Announcement Calendar

Word on the street is that the long-awaited EOS R6 Mark III will finally be announced in late November. Maybe on the 16th. Or maybe the 26th. Or maybe in your timezone’s version of neither.

Mark your calendars, or don’t. By the time Canon actually announces it, your calendar app will probably be deprecated anyway. Still, the whispers say November’s the month when Canon pulls the curtain back and we all pretend to be surprised.

Four New Lenses: Because Why Announce One When You Can Confuse Everyone With Four?

Canon is also reportedly lining up four new lenses for November. Not necessarily on the same day, of course. Why deliver a clean product launch when you can scatter chaos like confetti?

Here’s what’s allegedly on the menu:

• RF 45mm f/1.2 STM – A lens so specific it sounds like Canon pulled it from a random-number generator.
• RF 20–50mm f/4 PZ – Because nothing says “cinematic innovation” like a power zoom that confuses everyone about who it’s actually for.
• RF 300–600mm f/4–5.6L IS USM – The lens that’s been “coming soon” since the invention of bird photography. This one might actually exist. Probably.
• A mystery lens – Maybe a 24–70mm f/2.8L IS VCM, maybe something else entirely, but it’s shown up twice in rumorland, which in Canon terms means “basically confirmed.”

A Word on Sources

No one’s “100% certain,” but then again, when has that ever stopped anyone? This is the camera rumor world, accuracy is just a suggestion. Also, huge shoutout to that Canon India survey, which somehow continues to be a better leak source than half of Reddit.

More to Come (Because There’s Always More to Come)

Apparently, we’ll have “a lot more information” late next week. Which, if history is any guide, means slightly different phrasing of the exact same rumors, but now with 12% more confidence and a new speculative JPEG.

Until then, we’ll just keep refreshing the same three forums, nodding wisely, and pretending that “late November” is a concrete timeline.

Stay tuned, or don’t. Canon announcements are like comets: beautiful, rare, and always a little late.

Because it’s 2025 and Canon refuses to let us live in peace, here’s the latest collection of whispers, leaks, and “re-announcements” (yes, that’s a thing now).

R6 Mark III: Cinema Camera in Disguise?

Digital Camera World swears the R6 Mark III will inherit the same 32MP, 7K-capable sensor from Canon’s shiny new EOS C50. Translation: 7K 60p open gate video and 40fps burst photos—so your SD cards can finally collapse under the weight of footage you’ll never edit. Panasonic’s Lumix S1II just looked over its shoulder and broke into a nervous sweat. Or maybe it just overheated again.

VCM Lenses: Because Autofocus Wasn’t Confusing Enough

Canon apparently has two more VCM (Voice Coil Motor) prime lenses cooking. Which focal lengths? When will they arrive? Nobody knows, but let’s pretend to care.

These will join the current family of 20mm, 24mm, 35mm, 50mm, and 85mm f/1.4 VCM lenses, because what Canon really needed was yet another autofocus acronym to tattoo onto our brains.

Canon ELPH 360 HS: The Zombie Camera Returns

In what can only be described as a fever dream, Canon re-announced the ELPH 360 HS on September 10. Same 20.2MP sensor, same 12x zoom, same Wi-Fi. Basically, the same camera you ignored ten years ago, but now with re-announced energy.

Why? Because Canon’s compact camera sales jumped 187% last month, going from “basically nobody” to “a quarter of the market.” Yes, compact cameras are back. Next up: flip phones.

2026: SX750 HS and G7X Mark IV, Because Apparently Compacts Pay the Bills Now

Canon’s plan? More compacts. Expect the SX750 HS and G7X Mark IV in 2026. The G7 X Mark III already snagged 15.6% of Japan’s compact market in August, proving that what the world really wanted wasn’t another mirrorless flagship… but a camera grandma can actually understand.

The Cinema EOS C50: Reading Between the Lines

The EOS C50 comes with the eyebrow-raising ability to shoot 40fps bursts, because nothing says “cinema camera” like a hidden sports photography mode.

Analysts think this is a dead giveaway that Canon designed the sensor with hybrid use in mind, which makes the R6 Mark III rumors all the juicier. Especially since everyone originally thought it was just going to recycle the old 24MP R3 sensor. Surprise: Canon actually tried.

Final Thoughts (Or Something Like Them)

So, to recap: the R6 Mark III is basically a cinema camera cosplaying as a hybrid, VCM lenses are breeding in the shadows, compact cameras are staging a zombie apocalypse comeback, and the C50 might just be the best accidental sports shooter Canon has ever made.

Stay tuned, because rumor season never ends, it just respawns.

Ah, the internet rumor mill is churning again, and this time it’s about the Canon EOS R6 Mark III. Whispers suggest Canon might “soft announce” the thing between now and September 15th, because nothing screams confidence like a vague, uncommitted timeline. The idea is to squeeze it in just before IBC, the big cinema camera tradeshow, which has almost nothing to do with stills shooters. Makes sense.

Of course, Canon could make multiple announcements in the same window, but since the R6 Mark II was one of their biggest crowd-pleasers, you’d think they’d want the sequel to have its own spotlight. Then again, this is Canon, and logic is more of a suggestion than a rule.

Canon Europe Teases… the Wrong Camera

Canon Europe even dropped a teaser for September 9th at 2PM BST. Exciting, right? Except the teaser clearly shows a cinema camera, not the R6 Mark III. Could they announce both at once? Possibly. Could they also just ignore the R6 Mark III for another six months? Definitely.

The Sensor Saga: Stacked or Not Stacked, That Is the Question

According to Jan (a guy with a YouTube channel), the R6 Mark III will not have a stacked sensor. Cue collective groans from the spec-sheet warriors. Canon’s faster stacked sensors in the R1 and R5 Mark II cost you a smidge of dynamic range and add a sprinkle of noise, but in exchange you get blazing speed. Does this matter to your actual photos? Not really. But hey, graphs exist, so people will argue.

Canon, for their part, will probably try to make the R6 Mark III’s sensor fast enough for electronic shutter without making it stacked. Translation: they’ll split the difference and hope nobody notices. Rumors also keep bouncing between resolutions: 30MP, 32MP, maybe 29.7MP if we’re being spicy.

Confusion about this sensor is nothing new. Apparently, Canon themselves may not even know what they want. Historically, rumor lore says they sometimes design multiple versions of a camera and then wait to see what Nikon does before picking one. Petty? Maybe. Believable? Absolutely.

Affordability, Canon-Style

Let’s not forget: the R6 Mark III is supposed to be the “affordable” sibling to the R5 Mark II. Which means: don’t expect it to inherit all the shiny toys from the R5 Mark II or R3. Canon will happily remind you that “affordable” means fewer features, slightly worse specs, and still a price that makes your wallet sweat.

Ergonomics: Same Old, Same Old

What about the body? Don’t hold your breath for innovation. Canon seems pretty happy with their current ergonomic design. The R6 Mark III will almost certainly look and feel like the R6 Mark II, which looked and felt like the R5 Mark II. The real innovation here is consistency. Or laziness. Pick your spin.

The Bottom Line (Which Isn’t a Line at All)

Right now, details are sketchy at best. We’ll supposedly get more info this week from the Usual Anonymous Sources™. Until then, the only thing we know for sure is that Canon’s rumor cycle is alive and well, feeding us half-truths, contradictory leaks, and just enough hope to keep us refreshing.

Stay tuned. Or don’t. The R6 Mark III will arrive… eventually.

Press release:

Canon U.S.A. Announces New EOS C50 7K Full-Frame CMOS Sensor Cinema Camera and RF-Mount RF85mm F1.4 L VCM Hybrid Lens

Firmware updates for select Canon Cinema EOS cameras and new PowerShot ELPH 360 HS A camera also available

MELVILLE, NY, September 9, 2025 – Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions, is excited to introduce the new EOS C50 cinema camera, the newest addition to Canon’s cinema EOS system. The EOS C50 is a compact, full-frame cinema camera featuring a brand new 7K full-frame CMOS sensor, 7K 60P internal RAW recording and 32 megapixel still photo capture, making it a true hybrid camera. Weighing approximately one and a half pounds, the EOS C50 is Canon’s smallest and lightest cinema camera ever, making it ideal for handheld and verité shooting.

The lightweight design and hyper-mobile form factor the EOS C50 camera meets growing demands from shooters who are increasingly looking for compact, ergonomic cinema cameras for a variety of settings and shooting styles. Excellent for large and small scale productions, documentary shooting in the field, social media video creation, sports, and more, the EOS C50 camera features a detachable top handle which adds two full-size XLR audio inputs, a start-stop button, and a zoom rocker for unbeatable agility. It also features an RF-mount, lending it native compatibility with a wide variety of Canon lenses, such as the new RF85mm F1.4 L VCM Hybrid Lens.

EOS C50 Camera Recording Options

At the heart of the EOS C50 camera is the 7K full-frame CMOS sensor, which is capable of a Dual Base ISO of 800 and 6400 in Canon Log 2, and 12-bit Cinema RAW Light recording at up to 7K 60P. This powerful sensor is coupled with a DIGIC DV7 processor. The EOS C50 is the first camera in the Cinema EOS lineup to feature the full frame 3:2 open gate recording. In addition to Cinema RAW Light and the standard XF-AVC, the EOS C50 camera also features XF- AVC S and XF-HEVC S recording codecs, proving an easy-to-manage naming system and folder structure, all while preserving metadata and recording in the familiar MP4 format.

Social media shooters will enjoy that the EOS C50 camera is capable of simultaneous crop recording when shooting in 4K DCI or UHD, allowing you to record at a chosen aspect ratio while also recording a cropped portion of the frame in 2K. When shooting in simultaneous crop mode, the three format options include: 9:17, 9:16, or 1:1.

For those looking for camera connectivity, the EOS C50 camera supports XC protocol which allows for remote control over IP via Wi-Fi^® or a compatible third-party USB-C ethernet adapter. The EOS C50 camera is also compatible with the Multi Camera Control App and features native integration of frame.io camera to cloud.

New RF-Mount RF 85mm F1.4 L VCM Hybrid Lens

The new RF-Mount RF 85mm F1.4 L VCM Hybrid lens is the latest addition to Canon’s line of VCM lenses, designed for shooters who increasingly are seeking powerful options whether shooting stills or video content. The RF85mm F1.4 L VCM has a focal length of 85mm, making it perfect for portrait-style shooting. The lens provides beautiful background blurring, as well as a F1.4 Maximum aperture, and well-controlled focus breathing.

Firmware Updates for EOS C400, C80, C70, and R5C Cameras

A new firmware update for select Canon Cinema EOS cameras bring in a few of these bleeding-edge features, available later this year. New firmware updates will enable full frame 3:2 open gate recording (EOS C400), view assist in media mode, quality improvement of focus peaking, improved assign buttons, improved Joy-Stick operability (EOS C80 and EOS C400), and more.

New PowerShot ELPH 360 HS A

Originally released in 2016, the PowerShot ELPH 360 HS still remains a popular compact camera. Appealing to fans of pocketable point and shoot style cameras, the newly updated PowerShot ELPH 360 HS A camera’s memory card slot will be changed from SD to microSD to help meet emerging needs in the compact camera market. The PowerShot ELPH 360 HS A camera will be available in two colors, black and silver.

We’ve been hearing about this mythical RF 300-600mm lens for so long it’s basically the Bigfoot of Canon rumors. But now whispers say it’s finally out in the wild, strutting around in testing like a cryptid caught on a shaky iPhone video. Supposedly, it’s headed for announcement before the end of 2025, which in Canon time means… maybe never, maybe tomorrow.

Variable Aperture, Variable Patience

The scoop? f/4 at 300-400mm, then gracefully sliding into f/5.6 by the time you hit 600mm. Variable aperture lenses always trigger purists, but hey, if Canon keeps the size, weight, and price only mildly absurd, people might just pretend to like it.

Speaking of price: the rumor fairy suggests $6,499 – $6,999. Translation: not under $6K, unless Canon suddenly discovers generosity as a business model.

Teleconverter Compatibility: Schrödinger’s Feature

Will it take teleconverters? Nobody knows. But imagine: slap on a 1.4x, and boom – you’ve got yourself an 840mm f/8 for photographing birds so small they’re basically rumors themselves.

Patent Teasers, Because Why Not

Yes, there have been patents for supertele RF lenses with variable apertures. None are this exact lens, of course, but patents exist to keep rumor writers busy, not to predict products.

RF 100–500mm, Meet Your Cannibal

Word is this new lens might “cannibalize” the RF 100-500mm f/4.5-7.1L. Which, let’s be honest, is Canon-speak for “we want you to buy the expensive one.” Sure, the 100-500mm is great, but faced with the option of stretching your wallet a little (okay, a lot) further, who wouldn’t go for the faster 300-600mm?

Variable aperture haters will whine, of course, but if the weight and handling are anywhere near tolerable, plenty of them will cave. Because nothing screams autobuy like a lens that costs as much as a used motorcycle.

Do We Believe?

This rumor supposedly comes from a “top-tier” source. Whatever that means in rumorland, it’s enough to stir the hype cauldron. Plus, whispers of a flurry of Canon announcements in the next few months-starting with the Cinema EOS C50. Add just enough drama to keep forums frothing.

Final Thoughts: Gimme.

In the end, does any of this matter? Not really. We’ll believe it when we see it in a press release. Until then, we’ll keep refreshing the rumor pages like addicts. Because, honestly, who doesn’t want to carry a 300-600mm L lens and live the teleconverter-free life of kings?
