According to Jan Wegener (and he is 100% correct all the time), the Canon R6 Mark III camera will arrive in Q4 of 2025. The main surprise is the Megapixel bump in resolution, as per Jan’s expectation, the camera may use a 30.3MP Full-Frame CMOS Sensor, lets have a look in the details what does Jan tell us about the upcoming Canon R6 Mark III camera
Here is what Jan Wegener said about the Canon R6 Mark III in his Latest Video
Canon R6 Mark III Release Date and Megapixel Upgrade Rumors
… And interestingly, it seems like that the R6 Mark III is not imminent. There will be an announcement probably in Q4 of 2025. And what I found the most interesting is that it said that the camera would get a megapixel bump. So it wouldn’t be 24 megapixel anymore and something more than that, which I thought was very interesting because that could instantly make the R6 Mark III also an R5 Mark II killer, especially if it’s a cheaper camera with maybe somewhere in the 30 megapixel range.
Why 30 Megapixels Could Be the Sweet Spot for Canon R6 Mark III
Cuz I think for many people that 30 megapixel range still feels like the sweet spot. Would you agree?
Canon R6 Mark III Sensor Technology: Stacked vs Non-Stacked Sensor Debate
But that got me thinking if Canon really gives a megapixel bump to the R6 Mark III and to be able to differentiate it from the R5 Mark II, does Canon then maybe not give the R6 Mark III a stacked sensor and rather a fast readout non-stacked sensor that probably would have a very high image quality even at those high ISO levels.
Pros and Cons of Stacked and Non-Stacked Sensors on Canon R6 Mark III
I can definitely see that being the case and I think I wouldn’t even be totally opposed to it. The stacked sensors are nice, but they also come with some drawbacks, especially when it comes to the image quality. Now, for video, it would be nice to have no rolling shutter at all or very little rolling shutter. But if it’s true that the camera gets more megapixels, I think it not being a stacked sensor would be a lot more likely.
Would you actually be happy with an R6 Mark III that has more megapixels but a non-stacked sensor?
Canon R6 Mark III Price Expectations
I think for many people this could actually make it a super interesting camera, especially if it still comes in below that $3,000 price point because it would suddenly give us such a great all-round camera that would also be fantastic for nature photography and would have a little bit more scope for cropping.
When Will Canon R6 Mark III Be Announced? Rumored Q4 2025 Launch
An announcement in Q4 2025 would be exactly 3 years after the R6 Mark II was announced and I think that would make a lot of sense even if the camera only starts shipping maybe in 2026.
