Canon EOS R3

The Canon EOS R3 is a professional full-frame mirrorless camera engineered for extreme speed, responsiveness, and reliability in fast-paced shooting environments. Built around Canon's 24.1 MP back-illuminated stacked CMOS sensor and the DIGIC X image processor, it delivers blackout-free continuous shooting at up to 30 fps with electronic shutter and full AF/AE tracking, alongside ground-breaking Eye Control AF technology that lets photographers direct focus points simply by looking at the subject through the viewfinder.

For sports, wildlife, motorsport, and news photographers, the Canon EOS R3 features an integrated vertical grip chassis with magnesium alloy construction and weather sealing matching EOS-1D X flagship standards. Its 5-axis In-Body Image Stabilizer delivers up to 8 stops of coordinated compensation with stabilized RF lenses, while a 5.76M-dot 120 fps OLED EVF and a 3.2-inch 4.15M-dot vari-angle touchscreen ensure pristine composition under challenging lighting and extreme vantage points.

In video performance and network connectivity, the Canon EOS R3 supports internal 6K 60p RAW and 4K 120p 10-bit 4:2:2 recording with Canon Log 3 and HDR PQ. Dual card slots accommodating CFexpress Type B and SD UHS-II media, integrated Gigabit Ethernet, 5 GHz Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.0, and the high-capacity LP-E19 battery pack combine to provide seamless, secure data transmission and endurance for demanding field assignments.
