24-Megapixel Sensor and High-Speed Processing with DIGIC Accelerator

Additionally, with the inclusion of a DIGIC accelerator, the speed and performance of shooting are expected to improve further, potentially allowing for 30fps electronic shutter continuous shooting in 14-bit RAW. This high speed will be a powerful tool when capturing sports or fast-moving subjects.

Advanced Video Features and Versatile Shooting Options

The 'EOS R6 Mark III' is also expected to see significant enhancements in video capabilities. It may support C4K/120p and 6K oversampling for C4K shooting, as well as Cinema RAW Light for 6K30p and 4K60p (Super35) recording.

This will likely make it a powerful video shooting tool supporting professional video production. There are also rumors of a neural network technology for in-camera noise reduction and high-resolution processing, potentially significantly reducing post-shooting editing work.

Expected Announcement Timing and Predicted Upgrades

The announcement of the 'EOS R6 Mark III' is predicted to occur after 2025, possibly influenced by the production status of the 'EOS R5 Mark II' or 'EOS R1.' Reports suggest that prototype photos are already circulating, indicating steady development progress.

Since the 'EOS R6 Mark II' also introduced new features ahead of others, it is expected that the 'EOS R6 Mark III' will similarly incorporate innovative features ahead of other models.
