EOS R6 Mark III Expected Launch Date: Key Features, Price, & Shipping Details

Several Canon sources have finally confirmed the date for the highly anticipated EOS R6 Mark III. According to sources, the camera will officially be announced on November 6, 2025. Alongside it, Canon will also unveil the RF 45mm f/1.2 STM lens. This will be the only lens released on that day, with three more lenses expected later in November.

Multiple NDA Dates Explained

Previously, two NDAs related to Canon products were set to expire on November 16 and November 26, 2025. It’s important to note that NDA expiration does not always align exactly with product announcements. Canon’s announcements can occur a day before or after the NDA expiration, depending on time zones.

“One NDA’s expiration doesn’t mean the announcement day,” the source said. “Time zones can come into play. Canon doesn’t always do midnight New York Time announcements.”

Currently, it is expected that November 17 and November 25 could see further product reveals, including lenses or non-R system products such as Powershot, ImagePROGRAF, or Selphy devices.

Canon EOS R6 Mark III Core Specifications

The EOS R6 Mark III appears to share many hardware similarities with the Cinema EOS C50. Key confirmed features include:

• Sensor: 34.2MP/32MP (similar to Cinema EOS C50)
• Autofocus: Dual Pixel CMOS AF II with multiple subject detections
• Image Stabilization: IBIS with 6.5 stops
• Pre-capture Mode
• Maximum Frame Rate: 40fps with electronic shutter
• Maximum ISO: 64,000
• Open Gate mode
• Price: €2,899 / $2,899 (tentative)
• Shipping: Late November (tentative)

The camera is expected to be highly capable for both photography and video, though it is unlikely to feature active cooling like the Cinema EOS C50.

Canon RF 45mm f/1.2 STM Lens

Alongside the R6 Mark III, Canon will release the RF 45mm f/1.2 STM lens on November 6. The lens price is set at €599, with additional lenses expected later in November.

“There will be lots more to come in the coming days, and I’ll be updating this post throughout the day if I hear any more,” the source added.

Much-Awaited Camera

Canon enthusiasts can expect the EOS R6 Mark III and RF 45mm f/1.2 STM lens to redefine mirrorless photography standards. With high frame rates, strong ISO performance, and advanced autofocus, the new camera is poised to impress both photographers and videographers.

While NDA expiration dates caused some initial confusion, the confirmed November 6 announcement brings clarity. Fans will also want to keep an eye out for additional lenses and products expected later in November.
