Context
The Canon EOS R6 Mark III builds on the 2022 R6 Mark II with refinements to speed and usability. It is regarded as a minor update, but it delivers superb image quality, light weight, and strong autofocus, especially for animal eye detection. For many photographers, that makes the higher-end R1, R3, or R5 II unnecessary.
