Canon EOS R3 Not Flagship Camera, Canon Rep Confirms

Canon Eos R3 Firmware Sample Picture User Manual

It was already clear to most in the industry, never the less here is a confirmation: the Canon EOS R3 is not the flagship camera in the EOS R lineup.

Although the EOS R3 is price-wise very close to the Canon EOS-1D X Mark III, the R3 is not playing in the same league . Mainly because the EOS-1D X Mark III features an even better weather sealing and can thus operate in very harsh environments. This was confirmed by a Canon representative at the Photography Show in Birmingham. The video below by Sonder Creative is a recording of the short interview.

When will the flagship EOS R model, likely to be named EOS R1, get announced? We are sorting out rumors we got and will try to update you asap.

A few days ago a technical brochure about the EOS R3 showed up. You can watch the Canon EOS R3 live-stream again here. All EOS R3 coverage is listed here. We put together some interesting videos about the Canon EOS R3, listed here. Be sure to check Gordon Laing’s in-depth review of the Canon EOS R3, part 1 and part 2. Oh, and don’t forget to listen how the R3’s 30fps sound. Canon EOS R3 product description after the break.

Canon EOS R3 Real World Review By Jeff Cable

Canon Eos R3 Firmware Sample Picture User Manual

If you have followed the Canon EOS R3 pre-announcement rumors carousel, you have likely heard of Jeff Cable. Some of the photos he took at the Olympics found their way to the Internet and revealed the the R3’s sensor resolution.

Jeff Cable posted his Canon EOS R3 real world review, and here is his overall impression:

Not everyone needs a camera that performs at the level of the Canon R3, but for those of us who need to fire off 30 frames per second, need the super fast focus speeds, and want the very best, this camera is awesome. Ever since using the Canon R5 and Canon R6 for my photography, I knew that mirrorless was the way to go. The new Canon R3 brings all the power of the Canon 1D series to the mirrorless world, and that is a welcome addition to the Canon line-up. Canon may not like me saying this, but for anyone looking to purchase a Canon 1DX MKIII, I would recommend going with the Canon R3. I think that the R series is the future for Canon, with all the new lenses coming out for these new bodies, and the camera just performs better in so many respects.

His review comes with a huge set of sample photos.

The Benefits Of Using The Canon EOS R3 Told By A Pro Photographer

Canon Eos R3 Firmware Sample Picture User Manual

Before the Canon EOS R3 was officially announced, some photos takes at the Tokyo Olympics made their rounds. Now the photographer who used the EOS R3 at the Olympics talks about how good the R3 is.

EOS R3 a glance:

  • 24MP Full-Frame Stacked BSI CMOS Sensor
  • Dual Pixel CMOS AF II, Eye Control AF
  • 6K60 Raw and 4K120 10-Bit Internal Video

Jeff Cable gave an interview to Digital Photo Pro about the Canon EOS R3. Here are some excerpts.

Q: What do you think about it having 24MP of resolution?

Jeff Cable: I think 24MP is fine for shooting sports. I’d maybe preferred a bit more resolution – I see 30MP as a sweet spot – but as a sports photographer, I don’t really need 50 or 60 or 70MP. For example, the USA Water Polo team has a large billboard in Southern California using one of my images from the Tokyo Olympics and it was taken with the R3 at 24MP. Plus, the more megapixels you pile on, the more noise you’re introducing into the image.

[…]

Q: Was the full 30 frames per second speed something you used a lot at the Olympics?

Jeff Cable: For stuff I was contractually obligated to shoot, I was mostly using the R3 at max speed, and it really did make a difference. The job of a sports photographer is to capture the peak of action and the R3’s 30fps helped me do that.

[…]

Q: How was editing all those images you shot at 30fps?

Jeff Cable: It was brutal. At a typical water polo match in the past, I’d shoot around 1200 images with the Canon 1D X. Now, with the R3, I’d come back with 2500 or 2600 shots. And I’m like, holy crap, my deadlines didn’t change, so now I have to haul ass in the editing room.

[…]

Q: How was the Eye Control Autofocus (AF) feature on the R3?

Jeff Cable: […] During some sports though, the Eye Control AF wasn’t locking in fast enough for what I wanted, so I turned it off and went to back-button focus. Mostly though, I didn’t have time the learn it well enough to use it during the Olympics. I’d like to spend more time experimenting with it. It’s something I’m dying to use for my event photography.
