CANON EOS R3
The Canon EOS R3 mirrorless will pack ‘next gen Dual Pixel AF,’ a stacked BSI sensor, 30fps shooting and Eye Control focus!
The R3 is the first EOS with a new 35mm back-illuminated stacked CMOS sensor
The Canon EOS R3 is shrouded in secrecy, but sources claim it will have a 45Mp full-frame sensor, 8K 30p and a “resolution trick”
Canon has announced the development of the EOS R3 –a professional camera aimed at pro and advanced amateur sports, wildlife and news photographers that boasts 30fps continuous shooting, a brand new stacked backside illuminated (BSI) image sensor, “next generation Dual Pixel CMOS AF” and Eye Control Function autofocus.
The full-frame Canon EOS R3 will sit between the EOS R5 and future flagship EOS R camera yet to be named (but likely to be the R1). And, looking at its specs so far, it will take aim at the new Sony A1 – at least in the all-important speed stakes, which are the defining feature of the best cameras for sports photography.
The headline feature, which matches the A1, is the 30fps burst shooting with full AF/AE tracking and minimal rolling shutter. This is made possible by the new stacked image sensor (the first ever in an EOS camera) that delivers blisteringly fast readout speeds while minimizing the distortion.
“The Canon EOS R3 also features an updated version of the phenomenally faithful Dual Pixel AF II seen in the EOS-1D X Mark III, R5 and R6”
