I've heard rumors about its features and specifications, but I'm eager to know when it will be available for purchase. Any updates or confirmations would be appreciated!

According to CR, EOS R6 Mark III will not be announced at CP+ Show, so most likely to be announced in March or April 2025.

Re: Why waiting for R6 Mark III? The R6 Mark II is already a good camera.
- Honestly, I've lived through so many of these release cycles over the years. In my experience, the anticipation is usually way more intense than the actual arrival. I remember holding out for months for a new body back in the day, thinking it would magically fix my workflow, only to realize the gear I already had was doing most of the heavy lifting anyway. I've tried many different setups and usually, the next big thing is just incremental for most people... dont get me wrong, it's fun to have the latest tech but it rarely changes the art. Quick reply while I have a sec between edits... I am curious tho, what's the main thing you're hoping for with the Mark III? Are you looking for specific video specs or is it more about the sensor resolution for your style of shooting?

Just saw this and wanted to chime in from a technical hardware standpoint. While dates are fun to guess, the real question is how it fits into your existing kit. If the Canon EOS R6 Mark III follows the trend set by the R5II, we’re looking at some serious power draw requirements. You'll basically need the Canon LP-E6P Battery Pack to get the best frame rates and high-end video features. I’m also betting the older Canon BG-R10 Battery Grip wont be compatible if they redesign the chassis for better heat dissipation - which is a huge deal for us long-form shooters. Honestly, their probably going to tweak the mount communication too for faster data throughput. If you’re planning on an upgrade, definitely start looking at the Canon EOS R5 Mark II accessory compatibility as a blueprint for what to expect. Its not just about when it drops, but what else you'll have to buy to make it actually work (at least thats what happened with the last few launches). tbh I'd be ready for a late Q1 or early Q2 announcement based on the production cycles.
