FULL STORY ======================================================================Canon rumors suggest the Canon EOS R6 III will land in November It could inherit a stabilized version of the 32MP sensor in the recent EOS C50 There are also rumblings of a Sony A7 V, which would be a direct rival

Canon could be about to announce a successor to the EOS R6 II predictably named the EOS R6 III if the latest Canon rumors are accurate.

The current model has been a superb Sony A7 IV -beating all-rounder
mirrorless camera since its January 2023 release, but was outdone by the
Nikon Z6 III in a few areas, which means that Nikon currently has the best camera crown. That could all change with the new EOS R6 III, though, at least if its rumored features are anything to go by.

Canon Rumors suggests sensor tech will be trickled down from the EOS C50 Canon's recent baby cinema camera including a stabilized version of the 32MP full-frame sensor, together with open gate video recording.

The latter feature would set the EOS R6 III apart from Nikon and Sony rivals, while the resolution bump (the EOS R6 II shoots 24MP stills) could see it outdo the Nikon Z6 III (also 24MP) for detail.

We might not have long to wait to find out the details for sure. Canon Rumors is clear that the EOS R6 III is coming on November 6, predicting a 2,899
price tag (potentially around $3,100 / 2,600 / AU$5,000, given current market conditions). Nikon could get serious competition soon None of the EOS R6 III rumors cover potential design changes, so we might get a similar control layout to the EOS R6 II's, above. (Image credit: Future)

If the EOS R6 III does indeed feature a 34.2MP sensor (delivering 32MP stills), it will presumably also shoot 7K video like the EOS C50 does and the sensor is tipped to be stabilized, up to 6.5EV.

We can also expect Canon's Dual Pixel CMOS AF II with enhanced subject detection, and up to 40fps burst shooting using the electronic shutter, with pre-capture, according to Canon Rumors.

Yet for video fans it's the likelihood of open gate video recording that
could set the EOS R6 III apart from the Z6 III, and indeed the also-rumored Sony A7 V another rival tipped for launch this year.

Sony's potential A7 V will likely compete in terms of resolution with its rumored 33MP sensor, and potentially its burst shooting performance too, although it could come up short in various ways for video.

It looks like Canon and Sony could see out 2025 with a bang with key camera announcements. What do you think of the latest rumors? Which camera sounds
