According to the latest news on the web via rumor mills, the Canon R7 Mark II camera is coming without a mechanical shutter. The successor to the Canon R7 camera will arrive in Q4 of 2025. Canon R7 series is always called as trend setter of the prosumer market, it always sets a new standard in terms of performance, usability, and practicality
A Shutterless Future for Canon APS-C Cameras?
See, the idea of ditching the mechanical shutter is not entirely new. If you have been following, then Nikon made headlines years ago by dropping the mechanical shutter in the Nikon Z8 and the Nikon Z9 camera. It did raise the eyebrows of professional photographers—those who have been using mechanical shutters for ages— but none of them have any performance quality issues.
A mechanical shutter is required when your sensor readout speed is slow. Typically, all the traditional non-stacked CMOS sensors had slow readout speed, and with the help of a mechanical shutter, the traditional readout speed gets overridden; hence, the mechanical shutter was a very essential thing, till the stacked CMOS sensors arrived in the mirrorless game.
Do Stacked CMOS Sensors Need a Mechanical Shutter?
Now, with the faster readout speed, new age sensors, technically, the stacked CMOS sensors don’t need a mechanical shutter. With faster readout speeds, these sensors minimize rolling shutter distortion, which was a key limitation of electronic shutters in the past. For example, the latest Nikon cameras, the Z8 and Z9, feature stacked CMOS sensors with a readout speed of approximately 3.73ms (1/268 second) for full-resolution RAW stills, among the fastest for HIGH RES. full-frame cameras. This speed significantly reduces rolling shutter artefacts, making mechanical shutters largely redundant for most shooting scenarios.
The Sony Alpha 9 III takes this further with its full-frame global shutter sensor, which captures all pixels simultaneously, effectively eliminating rolling shutter distortion (rendering traditional readout speed measurements irrelevant). This allows distortion-free capture at 120fps for stills and in high-speed video modes like 4K/120p, without the need for a mechanical shutter.
Mechanical shutters are no longer critical for exposure control in these cameras; they still have some use, however, and can serve a secondary purpose: protecting the sensor from dust and debris when the camera is powered off or during lens changes. For example, the Nikon Z8 and Z9 incorporate a sensor shield that closes when the camera is off, addressing this concern without requiring a traditional mechanical shutter.

Take a look at the updated list of Canon R7 Mark II expected core specifications below
Mechanical shutters are expensive to produce, add complexity to camera bodies, and have a finite lifespan due to their moving parts. By going fully electronic, Canon could streamline production and potentially pass savings on to consumers. While using a STACKED CMOS sensor, Electronic shutters can also offer distinct advantages without worrying about the rolling shutter issue. Some Advantages include silent operation, faster burst rates, and higher shutter speeds (up to 1/16,000 sec on the current R7). It’s a welcome and very innovative step by Canon if the information is true.

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.

According to the latest rumour coming from the rumour mill on June 17, 2025, Sigma is going to announce two new lenses for Canon APS-C mount cameras, that is the RF-S mount, and the two lenses are:
Sample image of Sigma 18-35mm F1.8mm Lens
Sigma 17-40mm F1.8 DC DN ART
Do you remember the 18-35mm F1.8 lens that was available in the DSLR time? Of course, I missed that lens very badly, and I wondered why Sigma isn’t announcing any alternative to that lens, which was popular among professional APS-C users then. Now, finally, we have a solution. We have a brand new RF-S lens with the same F1.8 constant aperture and a slightly broader focal length.
The lens has a 27-64mm (35mm equivalent) focal length, and without a doubt, it will deliver exceptional image quality to the users. Just imagine pairing the Sigma 17-40mm F1.8 lens with the recently announced Canon R50 V camera—for wedding cinematography or for professional content creation, it will deliver, as I have said, exceptional results to the user.
The expected price of the Sigma lens is somewhere around $1200—that is what I am expecting. I will update this post once the price information is available to us.
Now, the next lens, which is also coming for the RF-S mount:
Sigma 12mm F1.4 DC DN Contemporary lens
So this particular lens will become very popular among handheld content creators—those who love to have an ultra-wide lens with a bright maximum aperture to deliver the finest quality possible.

Canon registered two new cameras with the wireless certification agency. Based on the model codes of the two cameras, it’s distinguishable that one is from their Cinema EOS line and the other is the RF mount, consumer mirrorless camera.
Canon Upcoming Cameras Model Code 2025 [Updated]
DS126922: EOS R5 II (Dual-band Wi-Fi 6 & Bluetooth)
DS126928: EOS R1 (Dual-band Wi-Fi 6 & Bluetooth)
DS126941: EOS R50 V (Dual-band Wi-Fi 5 & Bluetooth)
Both are very new and support 2.4GHz and 5.1GHz Wi-Fi. Products beginning with “DS” tend to be still digital cameras, while those beginning with “ID” tend to be Cinema EOS cameras.
Some EOS or Cinema EOS cameras are planned for the future, and may be announced in the coming months. Rumor has it that they will be the Canon R6 Mark III or EOS R7 Mark II, but as we can see here, Canon is preparing for only one Consumer Mirrorless camera and the other is Cinema EOS.
Canon Camera Announcement in the 4th Week of August or Early September 2025
Canon registered both cameras in the 4th week of May 2025, roughly the camera maker takes 3 months to make it official, so expect a Canon announcement sometime in the 4th Week of August or Early September 2025.

Support for C-Log 2 and C-Log 3 for advanced color grading
These specs position the EOS R6 Mark III as a powerhouse for hybrid shooters
What’s new in the Canon R6 Mark III?
The Canon R6 Mark III camera is coming with a brand new 30.3MP Full-Frame CMOS Sensor. So it may be or maybe not the same sensor that we have seen in the Canon R3 camera,
Though we have reported several sets of rumoured specs of the upcoming Canon R6 Mark III camera, one of the thing is almost confirmed that we will have the 24 MP resolution sensor in this camera, no resolution jump till now is expected in the R6 series
The core specification also confirms that the new design of LCD screen is coming, which we reported back on December 18, 2024
Arrival date of Canon R6 Mark III camera
The exact announcement timeline, if try to get a timeline, then industry insiders indicate
it’s between July to September of 2025.
Price of the Canon R6 Mark III camera
Canon EOS R6 Mark II has seen a significant amount of price drop, authorised retailers recently offering it for as low as $1,999 and refurbished units going even deeper and deeper..
The camera’s MSRP is now $2,199, reflecting a permanent $200 price drop.
The Canon R6 Mark II’s current price point indicates that Canon will aim to keep the new model competitive, likely in the $2,499–$2,799 range
Stay tuned, we will post more updates soon

That’s a big question we are getting in the next set of every comment when we are posting comparisons related to Canon R50V.
We have to understand a basic rule that whenever a camera maker announces a specific camera, like the 50V has been announced by Canon, they generally wait for the peak sales period, which is approximately 7 to 8 months from the shipping date.
And in that specific period, they try to avoid announcing a camera in approximately the same price range, so there is very little chance that we will see Canon R10V in the year 2025. Since the shipping date of Canon R50V is April 28, and if you consider a 7 to 8 months gap, then it falls somewhere around November and December. So it is safe to assume that even if they are planning to announce a R10V, we will see it in the first quarter of 2026 or later on.
Technology Limitations
Canon’s 24-megapixel CMOS sensor, which is being used inside Canon R10, Canon R50, and Canon R50V, has been stretched to its technical limits already in the R50V.
As we all know, the Canon 24-megapixel DPAF CMOS sensor has a readout speed of somewhere around 25 milliseconds, and it’s based on FSI technology. The first threshold was already visible when the Canon R10 was announced. Due to the readout speed limitation, even in R10, we have to face a 1.5X crop in 4K 60 FPS.
In the recently announced Canon R50V camera, Canon has done everything possible to stretch the limits of the existing 24MP FSI CMOS sensor, and that’s why we are getting clog3, 10-bit internal recording at 4K 60 FPS from the existing sensor when paired up with the latest Digic X image processor.
And again, due to the readout limitation, we still have a 1.5X crop at 4K 60 FPS recording.
Now, if Canon is planning to introduce an R10V camera in near future, they have to use a new sensor, and they have no other option left since we have already seen the stretched limits of the existing 24MP FSI DPAF CMOS sensor in the R50V camera.
The Canon 32 MP sensor is more than 6 years old, a good competitor of the Sony 26 MP sensor used in ZV-E10 II, A6700, and FX30. The 32-megapixel sensor was first announced inside the Canon 90D body, which was announced back in August 2019, so it is more than 6-7 years old. While Canon R7 can record 4K 60 FPS uncropped with a line-skipping method, where there is a loss in quality, if you want to record high-quality 4K 60 FPS video, you have to face a 1.8X crop.
Canon R10V may arrive with Canon 32 MP DPAF sensor: By adopting the R7’s 32.5-megapixel sensor, Canon could position the R10V as a strong competitor to the Sony ZV-E10 II, offering uncropped 4K 60fps and a robust vlogging feature set.
Another important thing is that both Canon R7 and R10 were announced on the same day, in May 2022. So it is quite obvious that Canon will prefer a high-end body to introduce its new sensor technology into the market, which will help Canon generate more revenue. That is what every camera maker does—for example, Sony first introduced the FX30 camera with a 26MP sensor. Although the 26MP sensor has been used by Fuji for the past 2 to 3 years, that doesn’t matter in Sony’s lineup. It started with the FX30, then Sony used that sensor in the Sony A6700 camera, and later on, they finally introduced in the Sony ZV-E10 Mark II.
So as you can see, technology travels into more affordable bodies over time, but at the time of introduction, camera makers generally select a higher-end body.
Instead of refreshing Canon R10 series in Q4 of 2025 or Q1 of 2026, there is a high probability the Canon R7V or R7 Mk II with a brand new sensor capable to record 6.2k open gate will be prioritized
What’s Coming Next from Canon in the APS-C Range in 2025?
Most likely, Canon will introduce the Canon R7V / R7 Mk II camera first, even before refreshing the Canon R10 lineup
It also aligns with an existing set of rumors [Canon upcoming cameras 2025]: As per the information we have published in the past, Canon is planning to introduce Canon R7 successor Canon R7 Mark II in Q3 or Q4 of 2025, but its inresting to see what coming first, Canon R7 MK II or R7V or both of them will arive together?
Canon R7 Mark II, a photography-focused upgrade, and the R7V, a video-centric version tailored for videographers. Having box style design, without a mechanical shutter, 6k 60FPS, with 32-bit audio option,n and with active cooling vents will help filmmakers and cinematographers to pick a camera for professional use.
As we have already discussed above that Canon introduces their new sensor tech and capabilities in their mid-to-high-tier bodies first. So, Canon R7 or assocated series like Canon R7 Mk II / R7V is a perfect and most logical choice for such an upgrade.
