Canon press release:

Canon Unveils New EOS R6 Mark III Hybrid Powerhouse Camera and Compact RF45mm F1.2 STM Lens

MELVILLE, N.Y., November 6, 2025 — Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions, today announced the launch of the EOS R6 Mark III full-frame mirrorless camera and the RF45mm F1.2 STM lens. The EOS R6 Mark III camera builds on Canon’s renowned 5-series and 1-series legacy, delivering pro-level hybrid performance for advanced photographers, videographers, content creators, and hybrid enthusiasts shooting across portraits, events, wildlife, sports, and social media production. The RF45mm F1.2 STM lens introduces a compact, lightweight prime optic with outstanding f/1.2 performance, ideal for everyday shooting and creative expression.

Canon EOS R6 Mark III Camera Delivers Pro Performance in a Versatile Package

The EOS R6 Mark III camera combines high-resolution imaging, advanced video capabilities, and reliable design to empower hybrid creators.

Key features include:

• 32.5-megapixel full-frame sensor supporting up to 40fps electronic shutter shooting with 20 frames of pre-continuous shooting, and mechanical shutter/electronic first curtain at up to 12fps.
• CFexpress type B + SD card for improved hybrid shooting performance.
• Advanced video features including 7K 59.94p RAW Light recording, 4K 119.8p and Slow and Fast motion mode, and 7K 30p “Open Gate” video for increased vertical resolution, compositional flexibility, and post-production stabilization.
• Oversampled 4K 60p/30p recording (with 7K oversampling for 30p), Canon Log 2 with up to15 stops of dynamic range, waveform monitoring, Register People Priority and Focus Accel/Decel algorithms inspired by Cinema EOS C400 and C80 cameras for natural, professional autofocus behavior. As well as white balance and operational improvements when recording video.

This camera offers versatility for professionals and enthusiasts, from portrait, wedding and event shooters to birding and landscape photographers and emerging videographers transitioning from smartphones.

Canon RF45mm F1.2 STM Lens Designed to Redefine Compact f/1.2 Prime Performance

The RF45mm F1.2 STM is a 45mm standard prime lens designed for natural perspectives close to human vision, with a wider angle than traditional 50mm options. It’s lightweight (approx. 346g) and compact build makes it easy to handle for portraits, snapshots, landscapes, and more-equivalent to approx. 72mm on APS-C bodies like the EOS R7 or R50 cameras.

Key features include:

• Wide f/1.2 aperture enabled by innovative PMo aspherical lenses and gear-type STM with magnetic detection, reducing size and weight compared to larger f/1.2 lenses
• Rich, three-dimensional bokeh with nine aperture blades for smooth, circular blur; digital lens optimizer corrects distortions for outstanding rendering
• Fixed rear-lens focusing system minimizes image quality shifts across distances; aperture range (f/1.2 to f/16) allows flexible depth control, faster shutters, and low-ISO shooting
• Enhanced compactness via fixed-length barrel and minimum focusing distance, delivering value and reliability for diverse applications

Mark your calendars (again): the Canon EOS R6 Mark III officially lands on November 6 and will start shipping shortly after, assuming Canon’s definition of “shortly” matches reality.

The 6-series has always been Canon’s crowd-pleaser, like the comfort food of full-frame cameras. Predictable, satisfying, and guaranteed to sell like hotcakes even if it doesn’t actually change much. Canon probably wished it could shave a few dollars off that launch price, but fear not, it’s still “under $3000,” which in 2025 is roughly the price of one decent lens hood.

Canon EOS R6 Mark III Specs: The “Confirmed” and the “Canon-Confirmed”

Here’s what we “know” (with the appropriate level of trust you should have in any rumor post):

Confirmed (probably):

• 34.2MP / 32MP sensor (the same one from the Cinema EOS C50, because who needs new silicon when you can recycle old greatness?)
• Dual Pixel CMOS AF II with “multiple subject detections” (including humans, animals, vehicles, and possibly your dignity).
• IBIS rated for 6.5 stops of compensation.
• Pre-capture mode, for when you hit the shutter a second too late.
• 40fps electronic shutter (in case you needed 400 identical photos of someone blinking).
• Max ISO: 64,000 (aka “grain is a creative choice”).
• Open gate video mode.
• €2899 / $2899.
• Shipping “late November,” which is Canon’s poetic way of saying “maybe before Christmas.”

Unconfirmed (but we’re feeling spicy):

• Dual UHS-II SD card slots (finally, equality for memory cards).
• Full-size HDMI port (hallelujah, no more micro-HDMI trauma).
• LP-E6P battery, sort of compatible with older ones if you jiggle it just right.
• C-Log 3, because marketing needs a new checkbox.
• Dynamic range slightly less than the C50’s 16 stops (but hey, who’s counting stops when you can count likes?).
• The same 3” articulating LCD (because innovation is exhausting).
• 5.76m-dot EVF (0.76x magnification).
• DIGIC Accelerator processor (faster, somehow).
• Passive venting, meaning Canon found a way to make “no fan” sound like a feature.

Editorial Mood: Mild Excitement With a Side of Realism

We probably won’t get the deep-dive video specs until 48–72 hours before launch, because Canon loves suspense almost as much as NDAs. The source says these specs are “as close to 100% as possible,” which in rumor math means somewhere between 72% and “a guy overheard this at a trade show.”But let’s give credit where it’s due: dual SD slots are chef’s kiss. No one’s thrilled about buying CFexpress cards that cost more than therapy. And that full-size HDMI port rumor? Hope it’s true. Micro-HDMI cables are basically disposable floss with delusions of grandeur.

Mechanical Shutter: Still Alive, Somehow

Yes, it’s still here. No Canon didn’t “go all-electronic.” Innovation has its limits, apparently. But it’s nice to see some traditions endure, like mechanical shutters, high prices, and mildly confusing NDAs.

Final Thoughts: Safe, Sensible, and Slightly Predictable

The R6 Mark III looks exactly like what Canon would release if they asked ChatGPT to design “a logical upgrade.” Nothing shocking, nothing wild, but plenty good enough to sell a million units. We all want groundbreaking innovation at bargain-bin prices, but Canon’s not your fairy godmother. They’re a business, and a very good one at making you say “okay fine” while handing over $2899. Still, here’s hoping there’s just one surprise waiting under the NDA pile. Maybe a new codec. Maybe an unannounced feature. Maybe a firmware Easter egg.

Stay tuned. Canon’s November is shaping up to be predictably unpredictable.

[via CR]

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.
