Canon has announced the development of the new EOS R3, a professional camera that will have many features of the EOS-1 series. Three new RF lenses have also been announced, including a macro lens offering magnification of up to 1.4x.
The Canon EOS R3 will be a mirrorless camera aimed at the professional market. The body has the features of the well-known EOS-1 series, with an integrated vertical grip.
The EOS R3 will contain a backside-illuminated CMOS sensor, allowing even faster image processing. This will make the rolling shutter effect during video recording even less likely to occur.
At 30 frames per second, the EOS R3 is extremely fast. This speed will depend on the type of lens being used.
The eye-control function is particularly interesting. It can see where you are looking in the viewfinder. This will allow the autofocus to focus on the right point even faster.
The eye-control function was first used in the EOS-5. It will now be given a new lease of life with the EOS R3. Alongside this function, there will be another new autofocus function that has not yet been revealed, but the website suggests that it will be eye AF specifically for birds.
Of the three new RF lenses, the RF 100mm f/2,8L macro IS USM is a very interesting lens. It will offer magnification of up to 1.4x while retaining autofocus. The lens also has an SA control ring, allowing you to adjust the spherical aberration as desired.
For fans of long telephoto lenses, there are the new RF 400mm F2.8L IS USM and RF 600mm F4L IS USM. They are the first large white lenses made specifically for the RF system.
The details of the Canon EOS R3 are not yet known. But based on what has now been announced, it will be a camera worth looking forward to. You can find more information about this new camera on Canon's website.
