The top dials seem to have moved very slightly. but everything else is very close.

I have the impression, this is just a slight perspective shift resulting from two different photos taken.

Putting myself in Canon's product management shoes, I would try to utilise the same body tooling + parts when the design change and upgrades are all internal. So I conclude the camera body is very likely to fit in all existing R6 II underwater housings in the market.

Let's wait and see for the confirmation.

Agree it has a good chance of working - we'll wait and see what the housing makers do - maybe a R6 II user will take a chance and try a MkIII in their housing for us?
