The Canon EOS R6 Mark III is “definitely” coming in Q1 of 2025
- Thread starter Canon Rumors
- Start date
I highly doubt that.
If the R5 II had cross-type AF points like the R1 has then I might have seen it as a possibility.
I think it will be another generation before we see cross-type passed down to the rest of the lineup.

It would probably also need a bigger battery or take a huge hit in battery life.

The first thing that R6 and R8 (beside R8 battery life) need to improve is MP count (and I know this topic is controversial).
For me, 24 MP nowadays it's ridiculous. You carry a full-frame and a 24-70 F2.8 900 gr weight lens to only get 24 MP? It's like carry a Hasselblad for less than 50 or 100 MP, say 24 MP. Ridiculous.

4k120 raw would need a CFe B card due to the massive file size/bandwidth.
The question is whether Canon would offer raw vs raw light which wouldn't need a CFe card (similar to 8k60 for the R5ii).
Does shooting cRaw provide a better buffer clearing performance on the R6ii? Can your use case show any difference using cRaw vs not?
I'm all for CFe B cards. From my perspective, it now makes sense for dual CFe cards for all high end Canon bodies. The cards are cheap enough to have spares and there would be no issue with dual recording (buffer clearance or video).

I guess you’re new to photography. If not, it’s sad that you now know your work from several years ago is totally ridiculous, useless trash.

24MP gets you a 20" by 30" print at 200 pixels per inch. How often do you need more than that?

I nearly had an R6II with CFe when I bought my camera two weeks ago ..... it came with a battery and a free card. The card the store gave me was a 128 GB Lexar CFe Type B -- as the website specified, I had the damndest time trying to put it into the camera. The store replaced it with an SD card -- and changed the website.

I always shoot cRAW and can't tell any difference from RAW but still hit the buffer sometimes. Time to ditch SD cards entirely I think

Yes, that is what I thought. But Canon could make space for a new line-up:
R6mkiii --> 3.000 € RP at launch (at least) --> stacked sensor and new tech
R8mkii --> 1.999 € RP at launch (up from 1.799 € --> give it a better battery, IBIS and a joystick, but still lightweight
R9 --> 1.299 € RR at launch - a stripped down FF entry model --> no IBIS, no joystick, good sensor and a very compact, pocketable design. Maybe in the form factor of one these beloved M-line cameras.
Just a wild guess here

Not going to happen. Price increase and newer battery that you'll have to buy sure. IBIS likely isn't cheap enough to trickle down yet. Joystick not a chance in hell for the R8 due to strategy/model differentiation.Yes, that is what I thought. But Canon could make space for a new line-up:

It's already amazing how much the R6 has from the higher up models, there's no need to close the gap from R8 to R6.
(Not so) wild guess here too

I think the full frame mirrorless market is likely competitive between Canon and Sony. Nikon is likely in a distant third place.
Working off the same set of Circana/NPD data, Canon claims that they have the #1 marketshare in all of mirrorless in 2023 in the US, and Sony claims that they have the #1 marketshare in the full frame mirrorless segment and have the best selling full frame mirrorless camera (A7V) in the US. In addition, Sony makes a claim about #1 marketshare in full frame mirrorless worldwide in their 2024 financial report.
So it is likely that Canon is specifically selling lots of R7, R10, R50, R100s where others aren't, while the full frame segment is a lot more competitive with Sony likely on top right now.

There is not enough space in the RP/R8 chassis to use an LP-E6 variant, but we might get LP-E19P that will get used in the APS-C models as well. But I wouldn't expect much better battery life, the big improvement for the R6II/R8 came from the updated Digic X using only half the power for video compared to the older model.Yes, that is what I thought.

It would be nice though, but I don't expect significant improvements for LP-E19 models.

I don't understand the people that think that 24 MP it's enough, probably because they have heard it a lot of times.
Technology evolves. First film, now digital. 24 MP it's enought FOREVER? It doesn't make sense.
For most people, 50MP is more useful than 120fps. Just ask anyone with a Canon 5Ds.
