The Canon's Last models EOS R5 and EOS R6 cameras was a bold step up in the
full-frame mirrorless camera category, and just the beginning of our quest
to meet the diverse needs of professionals and serious enthusiast
photographers seeking solutions. Despite od the lack of spec on the Canon
EOS R camera a lot of photographers and filmmakers have loved that camera
because of its image quality, autofocus system, and New lenses that they
produced, It might be expensive but they are just phenomenal.
Landing between the robust EOS R5 and Canon’s flagship EOS-1D X Mark III,
the Canon EOS R3 will be designed to satisfy the most demanding expectations in a professional camera including speed, quality, performance, and reliability. Which might be perfect for those professionals.
The camera, which features what is considered to be a
professionally-oriented built in-battery grip just like on the Canon 1DX
series DSLR cameras in the past. It is being designed to meet “reliability
and durability demands of professionals even when working in challenging
conditions.”
The development of the Canon EOS R3 and the launch of the new RF lenses are the latest testament to the company’s commitment to professional photographers, filmmakers and content creators. When the camera becomes available, it will pair well with each of the new RF lenses announced today. Canon is excited to share this news today, and we look forward to seeing the images captured with the new RF lenses and upcoming EOS R3.
The EOS R will be Canon's first camera with a backside-illuminated (BSI) stacked CMOS sensor, developed by the company in-house. The "stacked" part means that the sensor and circuitry like RAM is integrated into the sensor, which allows for faster readout speeds and performance. Sony introduced that sensor type on the A9, and Nikon recently said it would use a BSI stacked sensor on its upcoming Z9.
Combined with Canon's Digic X image processor, that will help the R3 deliver 30 fps shooting speeds in electronic shutter mode with autofocus and auto-exposure tracking enabled — matching Sony's A1 which is absolutly insane. Canon also noted that R3 will be able to do that with "minimal distortion." That's significant because sports and action photographers often avoid electronic shutter mode for fast-moving subjects because of distortion caused by rolling shutter.
Questions About EOS R3
I’m intrigued to see whether the R3 will have a fully articulating screen.
Part of me believes that its video capabilities would make it inevitable
(8K 30p?); however, if top dials are ditched for greater weather-sealing
and rugged reliability, a very much embedded fixed LCD in line with the 1D
X might be more likely. A flippy screen may give flexibility, but it makes
keeping out water harder and is potentially a point of failure if the
camera is being subjected to some harsh treatment.
The speed of the mechanical shutter will also be interesting. Canon has
long made Sony’s efforts at a mechanical shutter look pathetic, with the
a1 managing a paltry 10 frames per second so the R3 won’t have to work
hard to surpass that. My guess is around 12-14 frames per second,
protecting the 1D X Mark III’s 20 frames per second (mechanical, but with
the mirror locked up — 16 fps when using the optical viewfinder), and
leaving space for the eventual R1 to push this even further — through a
global shutter might make this figure all but irrelevant.
Stacked CMOS Sensor
This is by far Canon’s first full-frame system which includes the
back-illuminated stacked CMOS image sensor. Because of that sensor Canon
EOS, R3 will deliver substantially faster read-out speeds and produce
much lower "rolling shutter" distortion than previous EOS models like
Canon EOS R, R5, R6, and RP and also produces great quality images like
the previous model.
Killer Design
If you have already seen a lot of leaks and rumors you might have seen a
bunch of images about the upcoming R3 which kind of looks like Canon 1DX
series cameras. The R3 looks spectacular, making everyone wonder why the
convention for faux-leather grippy stuff has stuck around for so long. I
hope it feels as good as it looks.
Electronic Shutter
The Canon R3 is coming with the Electronic Shutter which helps on a
bunch of operations, and It will take full advantage of the EOS R3’s
sensor design. It comes with superb read-out speeds, continuous shooting
up to 30 fps, with full AF, in all auto-exposure shooting modes, will be
available with the Canon EOS R3 camera.
Great Autofocus
The EOS R5 and R6 were only the beginning of the R-series camera.
Canon has Deep Learning technology and they have already implemented
an amazing focus system which is ruling the DSLR industry for years
especially on videos with the dual pixel autofocus system. The
upcoming EOS R3 will offer enhanced AF performance and tracking
capabilities, with even better face-, eye-, head- and body detection.
And, the EOS R3 will add a new type of subject recognition, for its AF
system.
Eye Control AF
After the Sony cameras, for the first time in an EOS R series
camera, you saw the Eye AF system, and undoubtfully you will now be
able to set the focus point in the viewfinder, by simply looking at
it — for incredibly fast changes in where the camera focuses, or to
set the initial point from which the EOS R3’s AF system will track
moving subjects.
1During still-image shooting only, through the electronic
viewfinder. Eye Control AF may not be possible, depending upon
individual characteristics or shooting conditions, and may not be
possible for users wearing bifocal eyeglasses, certain types of
sunglasses or mirror sunglasses, or certain hard contact
lenses.
Rugged Body
Just like the Canon premium cameras, Canon’s upcoming EOS R3 will
carry forward the integrated vertical grip similar to the 1D
series cameras, emphasizing both horizontal and vertical handling
for challenging shooting situations. Weather resistance and
durability will equal Canon’s professional EOS-1D X Mark II and
EOS-1D X Mark III cameras.
Initial thoughts on EOS R3
Beyond the heavy title and all the rumors, It seems that the
Canon EOS R3 might be just one more step up the ladder in order
to provide a product that is a hybridization between R5 and 1D X
Mark III which both are already been great cameras. It’s hard to
tell though, what are the major advantages regarding photography
and filmmaking in the upcoming R3. Also, we’re lacking more
important info about the sensor itself so it's better we don't
talk too much about it.
