QUICKFACT SHEET
The Canon EOS R3 is currently Canon’s top-of-the-line full-frame mirrorless camera while we await the flagship EOS R1. It combines excellent image quality, one of the stickiest Tracking AF, and 30fps Continuous Shooting for unrivalled still photography with 6k/60P RAW and 4K/120P video shooting.Canon has signalled it is officially challenging Sony’s mirrorless predominance with the EOS R3 (Sep 14, 2021; US $5,999 body only). Let’s address the one advantage that has allowed Sony to dominate the full-frame mirrorless market all these years: the world’s stickiest Tracking Eye AF. Canon has just successfully met that challenge head on. It uses 1,053 Automatic AF zones to detect, lock focus and stick to the eye, body, face, head (including helmets), animal and now vehicle. It features an excellent 24.1MP CMOS sensor, 30fps continuous shooting, excellent video with uncropped 6K/60P RAW, 4K/120P slow motion, a high resolution 5.76M EVF with 0.76x magnification, a Vari-Angle high resolution 4.15M Touchscreen LCD, 5-axis 8 Stops IBIS (In-Body Image Stabilization), two UHS-II SD card slots, and weather-proofing.
