Canon EOS R6 Mark III won't be announced ahead of CP+

[Canon Rumors]

The Canon EOS R6 Mark III has been talked about for quite some time, and it is coming in 2025. There has been some thought that we would see the camera announced ahead of CP+ in late February, but we're now being told not to expect an announcement until March at the earliest.

So announced late March, probably won\'t be in stock for quite some time... guess I will just stick to getting an R5 MII for now

Is there any information on whether the R6 III will also have a precapture function like the R5 II or R1?
Autofocus and precapture like the R5 II, sensor like the R3 - that would be ideal for me for Nature/wildlife.
Since I have not too big hands, R1 (as well as R3) is not convenient for me - simply too big.

It is very likely that the Canon EOS R6 Mark III will get the pre-capture function.
The Canon EOS R6 Mark II already had the pre-shooting function (1 file instead of separate images)
Canon EOS R6 Mark II - pre-shooting

Yes, I know about it R6 II is my main body, but due to the specifics of this function, I do not use it. Functionality like in R5 II or R1 it's something else altogether and you can say nowadays it's almost "must have" in wildlife photography.

Rf 28-70 f2 version 2 coming or not ?

It's almost safe to say that if it's coming with the new Acc processor then it will have pre capture. That's kinda the point of that second processor.

I’m still a bit baffled as to the ES 30 fps frame rate. The R6mk II already has 40 fps. It seems a bit weird dropping 10fps in the mk iii

Having the Mk II and doing a lot of nature/wildlife/birds/BIF/dragonflies/DIF, I can tell you, that you will love your Mk III - as soon as you have it in hands

Edit: just read that you already have the Mk II - so you know best what you already have. I suppose I won't upgrade, as I am already very pleased with my Mk II

AFAI understand, this has to do with the stacked sensor and the requirement of higher readout speeds to get the best out of the stacked tech and the minimum of rolling shutter. Maybe anyone with better knowledge can correct me or explain it much better.

That's what I suppose

I've given up on buying the R5 II for now, precisely to wait for the announced R6III. The 45 mp is a certain temptation, but I'm resisting it for now, and more and more information about the R6 III only confirms to me that it's a good direction

 

[DhlcadR6]

If all the rumour spec are true.... Used R3 probably going to be cheaper than ever.

 

[KT]

This will be quite the camera to have in 2025, best stacked 24 MP sensor, best AF, new articulating flippy screen and OLED back-screen, all for a price that's under 40% of the R1 mother ship in a small body that you can carry all day, what is there not to like? Hope the rumors are true.

 

[Exploreshootshare]

This "delay" isn't too bad, it is still in Q1. I wonder how the R6mkiii will compare to the R5 (not mkii). And I'm really, really curious what will happen to the R3 (line)

I think it's a given it will have some form of pre-capture though it might not be as generous or comprehensive as what you get with the R1 since the R6 III almost certainly won't have the same deep buffer built into the R1.

My guess is that you might end up with less number of shots or pre-capture for only 0.5 second or only JPEG or some combination of these limitation.

Well the R1 is arguably a better 24MP sensor than the R3 version as it's readout speed is better and it has cross type AF points

 

[Chig]

I'm very interested in upgrading from my R6ii: the stacked sensor, CFExpress card slot, proper pre-capture (maybe Canon will let you customise a button for this?), the R5ii version auto focus, 4K 120fps.
Hoping they'll realise their mistake and move the Video/Stills switch to where your right hand can reach it but I bet they don't

Doesn't better depend on usage? DR is more important to me than faster readout speeds. Low ISO DR is very important for many.

I love the DR of my R5 and R6ii so may skip a generation of R5. Just want to add I love the new cameras so not hating on them.

RF24-105f4usm has been around for 7 years. When will Canon update its second-generation RF24-105f4usm?

The EF 24-105/4L II launched 11 years after the original.
