Canon has confirmed the upcoming EOS R3 mirrorless camera, and they are not messing around.
In a short teaser video and press release, the company confirmed the camera and some of its specs, and they are quite impressive. The EOS R3 will indeed include an integrated grip similar to a 1 Series body, with Canon saying its weather- and dust-resistance will be on par with the flagship bodies as well. In addition, the body will utilize a newly developed stacked CMOS sensor with a back-illuminated design for much faster readouts and thus, less rolling shutter. The camera will have a continuous burst rate of 30 fps to match that fast readout.
On the autofocus front, the camera will bring the EOS R5 and R6's capabilities along with eye autofocus capabilities for animals and birds in addition to people. What is even neater is that the R3 will bring back a feature not seen since the film days: eye-controlled autofocus. Users will be able to select an initial point for AF tracking simply by looking at the spot, making it easier than ever to follow quick action. It looks like things are getting quite exciting for Canon fans!
Bravo 👏 Canon...
Outpace. Outperform. Them's fighting words!
Canon likes to announce that they will be announcing that a new camera is coming out and will be available sometime in the 3rd quarter of next year. When Sony announces something it is usually available for purchase in 2 weeks.
Canon is getting better now that it woke up from it's long nap.
Still better than Nikon.
I can say that because I own Nikon equipment.
I think that what we REALLY need is a camera with NeuraLink integration to your brain and integrated mororized tripod-ballhead so that you can just LOOK at a bird in the sky or a sporting / racing person in the field, and the camera will KNOW that that is your subject, swing to it, start tracking, and shoot when you think the command.
:D
I never got that to work, I think glasses confused it.
I mostly used it wearing contacts, but I had a profile for glasses that worked pretty well. Hopefully it's even more reliable with the R3 though.
BSI + ECF? I loved my EOS 3 and the ECF back in the day, of course I'm going to want this. The price though, that's what I'm afraid of.
canon is just to dam confusing why can't that just number them in order R5 R6 now R3 makes no sense
In the Canon world, the lower the number the more high end/advanced. So, R3 does make sense. Their flagship will be R1 (most likely). It's not going to be an R10 for sure.
