Canon has announced more details about the Canon EOS R3 today. Canon is hyping its new mirrorless camera nicely. But it also looks like it will be a great camera.

Canon EOS R3

The new specifications:

- New stacked CMOS sensor with backside illumination, developed by Canon
- 30 fps with AF/AE tracking
- AF tracking of people, animals, including birds, and motorsport, racing motorbikes and racing cars
- Can store internally oversampled 4K or RAW recordings and Canon Log 3
- Eye Control AF point selection
- Focusing at light levels of -7 EV
- Dual Pixel CMOS AF
- Dust and water resistance identical to that of the EOS-1D series

Gordon Laing from Cameralabs has already had a close look at the new R3.


The camera will use the familiar LP-E19 battery, from the 1DX Mark III, and can store photos and video on both SD(XC) and CFExpress memory cards.
