The Canon R6 mark III is "definitely" coming in 2025!

My feeling at this time is that moving from the R6ii to R6iii it could be like trading in a 2 year old car on the new model. Even if I decide against the R5ii is it worth the upgrade to the R6iii?

Those are my feelings too. I don't think a mk iii will give you substantially more than the mk ii gives you. I'vesaid it before, but I shot warblers in flight with the R6II where I never managed to do that before and it wasn't for lack of trying. It's a testament to how good the AF on the R6ii is. I can't see the mk ii improving on that. Not significantly anyway. Maybe they will add more video features, and yeah, that flippy screen you mentioned.

I still haven't put up my R6ii for sale. It's such a great camera that I find it hard to part with.

I have that problem also, hate to sell cameras, although I sold my 6Dii as I didnt' like it and sold my 5DIV, still have my 5D classic and 7Dii though, gave my 90D to one of my sons.

I sold only two cameras: 1DIIn and the R6. I don't regret selling the R6 one bit. Although I loved the camera, I had no emotional connection to it. But I still regret selling the 1DIIn. It was my first 1D camera and I LOVED it so much. I traded it in for the 1DIII and to this day wish I hadn't.

I also still have my 5D classic. I used it all the years I had it for non-bird stuff, for POTN challenges mostly. It made sense then because the 1D bodies had less mpx and had the 1.3x crop factor. But since switching to mirrorless I haven't picked it up. The R6, R6II and now the R5II are full frame and can do it all.
