Canon EOS R6 Mark III Resolution Increase?

The Canon EOS R6 Mark III has been talked about for quite some time now, we do feel there have been some delays on the project, just from what was recently told to us in-person at a Canon headquarters.

Thanks Canon!

All New Sensor

There are new suggestions that the 24mp resolution image sensor, boths uggested that it’s the EOS R3 sensor, and recently we were told that it was “all-new”. Even the recent mention had the resolution pegged at 24mp, but sometimes assumptions get the better of us.

Resolution Boost?

It looks like we may get a 30-32mp Canon EOS R6 Mark III still with a readout speed between the EOS R1 and EOS R5 Mark II. Which is plenty fast enough for a CMOS sensor.

It’s obvious a camera manufacturer would test multiple sensors in a product.

New Viewfinder

The nice person at Canon said that the EOS R6 Mark III would have a new type of EVF, as well as a new flippy mechanism for the LCD on the back, which we have mentioned prior.

We don’t want to speculate what a “new type of EVF” is, even if we have some thoughts. You can run with your own ideas.

Canon EOS R6 Mark II

4.7

• 24.2MP Full-Frame CMOS Sensor
• 4K60 10-Bit Internal Video, C-Log 3
• External 6K ProRes RAW Recording
• Dual Pixel CMOS AF II
• 12 fps Mech. Shutter, 40 fps E. Shutter

Price Increase?

Yes, the Canon EOS R6 Mark III will cost more than the $2499 launch price of the Canon EOS R6 Mark II.

We’d be pretty confident that it would stay below $3000.

Summary

Things are starting to heat up a bit when it comes to the Canon EOS R6 Mark III. We have seen others around the web with “sources” claiming similar and completely different things.

We’re confident we’re on the right path at this point, but we still don’t have any idea when we’re going to see it announced. Thanks to Mr. Canon, “it will come it 2025”.

It’s not a camera that will be on our wishlist, but I think a resolution boost will be welcomed, even if just from a marketing standpoint. We know what “24MP” does to the internet.

I will hear more before the week is out.
