We continue to hear rumblings about the Canon EOS R6 Mark III being announced later in 2024. If it comes in November or December, that's two years since the EOS R6 Mark II, which was announced just over two years after the EOS R6. We still think that Canon will concentrate on releasing and meeting

I´ve posted several times on this forum that I believe a R6mkiii is very close (most people just smiled/ laughed at me), so it wouldn't be a surprise for me at all. R6/ Z6/ A7 line sells in volumes and there are a lot of "entry-kind-of-people" who do compare a lot before they enter a camera system/ brand, so keeping that line up to date is essential.

That's just one test on the internet that most of us probably wouldn't notice in the real world photography wise, perhaps the video people would notice the dynamic range differences?

0.8 stops of DR difference between the Z6III and Z6II will be noticeable when shooting landscapes, albeit marginally. But it's a 1.5 stop difference between the Z6III and R3 which is quite big. If Canon R6III has the same sensor as the R3, it'll beat Nikon in dynamic range by quite a noticeable margin.

It'll be interesting to see how Nikon suddenly lags behind in the dynamic range race!

Guessing time for R6iii CMOS:
1. Brand new fast FSI/BSI CMOS
2. nerfed CMOS from R3
3. R5's CMOS with retune, probably lowest cost solution for Canon and fullfill the needs from the internet. High MP, good burst, good AF, 4K120

I'm jonesing hard for an R3 at the moment. Always wanted an integrated grip body. 24mp is plenty for me. I have an R5 too for high res stuff if needed. But holding out to see the R5II and R1. R1 is probably not going to be my thing - the R3 will do what I want it to do at a fraction of the price is my guess, and for an R1 to be my 'forever' camera and justify the price I'd want something in the 30+mp range. But R5II could be interesting. But now R6III? They really like to string a guy along! lol.

If only it got a top LCD, I would use it as a second body, along my future R5 II. I'd hate having to look thru the EVF or at the rear LCD in order to check my main settings. It's so much easier from above.
"Only" 24 MP? No issue at all.
If not, R5 II X 2. :)

Is Canon having the cashback promotions in your area right now? If so, have a look if that brings the price in line with your GAS threshold :)

Don't you have the dial set to 'A'wesome or 'P'erfect the whole time?!?!?

. . . because there's always room for another 24MP camera! It's a competitive segment of the market, but Sony still has a resolution edge with the R7IV and R7Cii (and R7V?) being 33MP. Odd situation . . . Canon and Nikon going for the video shooters and Sony ruling the stills segment. (I am accustomed to this being the other way around.)

We shall not discuss that. Now that Canon is ahead on DR, and with Sony bringing us a global shutter that costs DR at base ISO, the trolls have moved on from DR and so should we. Right?

Now, MP matters most. I mean it didn't when Canon had the highest MP FF sensors. But now it's a whole different story. MP >> DR.

It's been less that two years since the R6II was announced, and just under 4 years since the OG R6.

I'm not complaining but... it's just very unlike Canon to refresh a body this frequently.
Guess they're moving a ton of units and see the need to keep up with competitors in the same price range to keep it that way.

The R3's are a remarkable camera. I use them for weddings. It's like a cheat code for skin tones and WB. In my opinion, the R5's that we had prior produced the worst tones of any camera we shot with in our lifetimes.

It's phenomenal, I shoot weddings (both stills and video) with it and it's an absolute powerhouse.

Super easy to manage colour in LR and the C-Log 3 grades super well after a Rec.709 conversion.
Also I can comfortably film a 10 hour wedding on 3 internal batteries, pretty much unheard of for hybrid bodies.
