Would it save battery life?
The EVF uses more than the rear screen anyway.
I've just bought the new battery grip and it lasts forever: I shot 5000 images over 3 hours and still had over 40% battery left on my R6 ii

I hope not 24 MP is all I need for any photography, only minor advantage of high MP is cropping heavily and I'd rather use an extender for more focal length.

Extrapolating from my TV: OLED uses less power in dark scenes, but in regular and bright scenes it starts using a lot more power than backlit screens.
So, black cats in a coal mine would be a good subject to get into for the power savers among us

Would likely be a nice power saver for those that use the regular info screen on the back a lot.Extrapolating from my TV: OLED uses less power in dark scenes, but in regular and bright scenes it starts using a lot more power than backlit screens.

Back in December 2024 I had a very brief and quick conversation with neuroanatomist about this exact camera. I had 2 R6Mii and bg-10 etc. I did not know how soon the mark3 would come, it's price and more. My assumptions where at the time, it would use the new BG, probably the new L6p battery, a cfexpress card. It may have the same sensor as the R3, it may have the accelerator chip, it may, it may...
Dec 27, Canon had the R3 as refurb for $2999 and I asked for what I expected the answer would be, just get those, which I did, bought 2 R3.
KEH took all my old gear and I had the R3 NOW, sold all to about $2000 short or total cost, win-win. I figured the new mark 3 2499? 2799, I don't know, new grip, cost and release date I did not know, but here was R3 and millions of videos and reviews I do know.
I was raised on 35mm, no editing, no cropping, buy longer lenses etc. The camera does not take the picture, the photographer does, buy glass buy glass and so on. I made a promise to my better half at the 2 R6MII, I was happy and no more cameras, but this one could not be ignored. As time goes on they will continue to make more and better, I invested all the rest of my time and money in glass.
I wish all well with the M2 and M3 if and when it arrives, but I can not be beat on my decision to buy the R3.
Once again thanks to neuroanatomist, he responded very quickly to my which do I get, should I buy.. with very straight forward answers from an R3 owner, and I will not look back, or forward to more bodies, 24MP is perfect for everything I shoot and I do not crop, I buy longer lenses. Older EF 500mm and EF 600 are perfect on these cameras with adapters.

This release of an R6 III is good news.
I will probably replace my first generation R at the end of the year with this R6.
I will test it at the Paris photo show (October 9th to 12th), to make sure that it will be a good replacement for me.

The only person that i know who had been very verbose about the hinge on Canon products is Jared Polin....fair play, it sounds like canon have finally listened to his observation / request. I've never use a Sony camera so i don't know what life is like on the "other side" of the river. I've always enjoyed my limited use of the flippy LCD screen. However, I find composing with it really hard and I'm far more adpet at using the EVF where possible.
There was a patent a while back about a flippy EVF instead, which would be a novel feature.

I buy mine grey market from hong kong....so I have to wait a few months anyhow. Only crazy people buy new release RRP prices here in the UK.
We call it "rip off" Britain for good reason. the UK P is higher than both USD and Euro and yet we have to entertain a £ per $ valuation. the UK supply is deliberately restricted so the RRP is aheared to by all of the retailer adding to the false perception of value and demand.
I sold my R8 a few months back in anticipation and only having only one camera body (R6ii) is a real bind. If this camera is delayed, i may well pickup another R6ii (it's such a good new price a the moment) and sell one when the R6iii is readily available.
I'm looking forwards to having both a R6ii and R6iii in my camera bag. I think the R6iii offers a few nice upgrades and occasional abilities over the R6ii, 14 bit ES with a 6.5 m/s sensr read out is very welcome. However I suspect that the R6ii will have a wee bit better noise and DR in comparison.
With the ES frame rate being more usable due tot he faster snesor readout, one wonders if Canon will increase the buffer memory. Or make it look more buffer by reducing the top ES frame rate to only 30fps, which would yeild approx 3.3 seconds burst for it's 100 shots. The R6ii currently has an ES max frame rate of 40fps, which fills the buffer in only 2.5 secs for the same 100 shots.
If the current rumour specs are true, one does wonder about the R6iii being a R3 lite and effectively killing any R3 future sales. Sure the build, and buffer won't be the same....however....their other specs are very similar.

Totally unrelated but the Firmware release today for the R1 and R5 II. Does anyone know if this is the anticipated BIG firmware release?

No, supposedly that is still coming in a month or two. Probably lots of feedback to Canon about people seeing the thermometer icon, so they increased the threshold for that in this minor update.

Great idea, and too bad Canon can't implement that via firmware for the R1. But only because of the cross-type AF. If they hadn't put that in the R1, dual pixel output could have been leveraged to double the pixel count. Easy peasy.Maybe they’ll increase the r1 mp count , given all the feedback they must have heard there

Is there also someone who is disapointted by the upcoming and the current lineup?
For me the biggest bumper are: the bad buffer in the R5II (total blackout if its full is a NOGO), the R6III = R3 1.5 etc. etc... then the totally overpriced and missing (300 & 500) prime lens lineup without inbody TC...

If you want to buy a new R6 for a trip in April, go with the mark ii when it's on sale. The mark iii, even if it's announced in may, won't be out for weeks or months after that…
I was hoping to use it for an event at the end of June, but it will probably arrive too late for me.

About that… Do you think the R6 mark iii will be really better than the R5 mark ii for low light photography?So, black cats in a coal mine would be a good subject to get into for the power savers among us

I see very little effective difference between my R8 and R5II after running the images through DxO, when viewed on screen. But my low light shots are either my kids or macro, not wedding dances for paying customers.
