We all have different experiences sometimes, it seems to me. For example, I often come across complaints about the reliability of the R5 - errors, freezing... My experience is such that I have only words of praise after almost 2 years of quite intensive use (about 165,000 triggers).NEVER (0.000%) with mine.
Maybe I've got a "lemon"

When I was covering Wing For Life World Run this year in Zadar in 8 hours of shooting it froze 5 times usually waking up from standby since I work with two cameras R5 and R6mk2 one with a tele lense and the other with wider zoom they often go in a standby when I’m doing shooting.
It was really stressful and I didn’t notice at the right time that the battery was the trigger. Have to say I haven’t used it after since it is usually a backup and I reduced event covering gigs. Not sure the last update I’ve done remove that specific bug. The original R6 had a similar problem of freezing but it happened when I was switching from photo to video consistently.
I do think the DSLR era canons were a bit more stable. Even the R5 had its own bugs that were annoying in professional assignments. But they did reduce or totally removed it after 2 years of updates with the R5mk2 I hope it will be a bit faster with these new cameras.
At the end I sold it last week since I’m the first on the preorder list for R5ml2 in my country and decided to have the R5 as the second/backup body.

I'm saving for an R5 II. However, from a stills photographer point a view I would consider purchasing an R6 Mark III if following is added:
- the R3 (full) back-illuminated stacked 24.1 megapixel full-frame CMOS imaging sensor
- 30 fps full-bit depth (14) lossless compressed RAW frames per second with full AF and AE and electronic shutter
- Pre-continuous shooting with individual files saved without delay
- Updated DIGIC X image processor
- updated/improved Dual Pixel CMOS AF II with with algorithms inherited from the R5 II (and improved on)
- In-Body Image Stabilizer Provides up to 8.5-Stops of Shake Correction
- AF Working Range or EV -7.5 – 21
- 5.76M dot, 120 fps, blackout-free, OLED EVF featuring quick response and high dynamic range.
The lower price for the R6 III (compared to R5 II) would be decisive with the above specs.

In their strategy documents Canon writes that their goal is "Achieve overwhelming No. 1 share in mirrorless camera market with full lineup of EOS R system". New Improved camera models sell better than Old Unimproved camera models.
Even incremental upgrades help.

There needs to be internal raw video recording. The Z6III has it, and they put it in the R5II. If they want to get 'ahead' that's how they need to do it. They also really need to start recording gyro data like Sony cameras do. Would be so much more helpful when trying to stabilize video.

If they're giving it a CF-Express slot they better be giving it RAW video, and if they're doing that, they better give it CLOG2.

Who says people aren't buying the R3? It's not going to be the R3 censor because if can't run that censor with the R6 (III) processor. Of course the R6 and R6II will depreciate. It happens when the new camera comes out with better specs. The R3 6K RAW is the best video image from any Canon hybrid. We will see if the R5II RAW video can keep up with the R3 image or not. It should be as good or better with Clog2.

Why to 30MP or 24MP? The R3 6K RAW video is incredible and I use it to match perfectly with my OG Komodo. I couldn't do that with the R5. The R3
Back-illuminated Stacked 24.1 Megapixel Full-frame CMOS Sensor lifts the shadows and has great highlight dynamic range. Don't chase camera features because in the lower end cameras the one thing that suffers is image quality.

So it will be an updated R3 in a small body. What I assume it will be.
Hm.... IV then with 30MP?! We will met here again in 2 years... and in 4 years (AGAIN 30MP!? - hopefull not 24MP pleeeasse )
My current plan: pre ordering R5II for everything and R6I as a 2nd Body for wedding and events. And selling my R7...before the R7II comes?! And in Winter... its often dark... ISO Performance of the R7 is really bad (12k is max - and really soft!)

I don't know if the R6III can handle the current R3 sensor. Have you compared the R3 6K RAW to the Komodo RAW image. I've seen your Komodo test and they are great. The R3 6K RAW video is almost an exact match to the Komodo Red Raw image. but has AF tracking and lens stabilization. I know it's a sport photography camera but that stacked back illuminated sensor seems lift the shadows and has the same highlight roll-off as the Komodo.

No, the R6II does not have the same AF abilities as the R3. The R3 is miles ahead of the R6II AF. I also never liked the R6 compared to the R5. The R5 just seemed better in every way. The R3 is a big jump up Fromm the R5 also. You can get the R3 for $4,000 now. And the R3 6K RAW 60fps has the same image as the IG Komodo. R3 RAW files are about the same size as Komodo RED RAW files. I'm not sure what Canon did with the R3 and RAW video but it's amazing.I would love to see Digic Accelerator being integrated in this camera. The original R6 shared the same autofocus abilities as the original R5 and, correct me if I’m wrong, but doesn’t the R6 Mark II feature most of the autofocus abilities of the R3 as well?
Anyway, this sounds pretty good. I really hope it features a stacked sensor, and that it can shoot 14 bit RAW on electronic shutter. No further requests
I assume the R5II and R1 will maybe have a little more dynamic range with RAW video with Clog2.

It sounds good but from a logistical standpoint it is a nightmare. Shooting 8K even in 8 bit leads to massive file sizes, which increase exponentially if you shoot in 10 bit or 12 bit in the case of the R5II or R5C. Then you need to store all those files somewhere, and need to edit them. That requires you to have a fast and large SSD, and a powerful computer. I fill up 8TB per year on average with my combined photo/video projects. I can't imagine quadrupling the file sizes for the video files. A total nightmare. All that for it to be watched in 1080p on YouTube or Instagram Reels. 6K is the highest I'd ever see myself using and even then I wouldn't use it all the time.

I'm dealing with this now. lol. But 4K RAW video on the Komodo, 4K 120p on the R5 and R3 and 6K RAW on the R3 produce almost exactly the same file sizes depending on what you record in. You can't get around 4K 120p one the Canon cameras so you don't really take a hit with 6K RAW shooting.
