Further details of Canon’s EOS R3 revealed

Following Canon’s initial development announcement of the EOS R3 – its latest high-performance, high-speed professional mirrorless camera – more details have been revealed confirming it marks a new era for sports, wildlife and news photographers.  

New specifications aim to prove the EOS R3 takes object-tracking to another level – adding Auto Focus (AF) tracking for motorsports including racing cars and motorbikes. In addition to this, the EOS R3 can record oversampled 4K video. 

The EOS R3 combines the performance and image quality of Canon’s innovative EOS R System line-up. Pairing its RF Mount with Canon’s RF lenses, the EOS R3 offers possibilities unseen in any other camera/lens duo and opens the door to previously unattainable capabilities and unseen optics. As a result, professional photographers – whether shooting sports, wildlife, or news – can capture fleeting moments in time, in new ways. 

Following the April development announcement, here’s some of the freshly revealed EOS R3 specs to be aware of:  

• New Canon-developed back illuminated stacked CMOS sensor  
• 30fps with AF/AE tracking  
• AF tracking of people, animals (including birds) and motorsports (racing motorbikes and racing cars) 
• Can record oversampled 4K, or RAW footage internally and Canon Log 3 
• Eye Control AF point selection 
• Focus in light levels -7EV or loweri 
• Dual Pixel CMOS AF  
• EOS-1D series dust and water resistance
