Canon Eos R3 Review Canon Cameras Eos R1

A Canon EOS R3 review. There aren’t many out there. Maybe because few got a Canon EOS R3.

Canon EOS R3 at 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
30 fps E. Shutter, 12 fps Mech. Shutter
5.76m-Dot EVF with 120 fps Refresh Rate
3.2″ 4.2m-Dot Vari-Angle Touchscreen LCD
Sensor-Shift 5-Axis Image Stabilization
Multi-Function Shoe, Built-In Vert. Grip
CFexpress & SD UHS-II Memory Card Slots
Wired LAN and 5 GHz Wi-Fi Support

Photography Blog posted their full Canon EOS R3 review. From their conclusion:

[…] key advantages that the EOS R3 has over its DSLR sibling [the EOS-1D X Mark III, editor’s note] are the incredible hybrid image stabilisation worth up to 8-stops, superlative low-light AF sensitivity that stretches all the way down to -7.5EV, and the even faster headline-grabbing 30fps burst shooting, coupled with a completely silent electronic shutter.
This is all housed in a smaller, lighter yet still equally weather-proof and durable body that’s easier to use for extended periods of time.
There’s an awful lot to like about the EOS 3 and very little to grumble about. Sure, the integrated grip design certainly isn’t for everyone – at just over 1kg in weight it remains a camera for the professional rather than enthusiast, although we bet that many of the latter would enjoy using the R3, particularly if they routinely fit a battery grip to their current camera.

Sensor-Shift 5-Axis Image Stabilization
12 fps Mech. Shutter, 20 fps E. Shutter

0.5″ 3.69m-Dot OLED EVF
3″ 1.62m-Dot Vari-Angle Touchscreen LCD

Dual SD UHS-II Memory Card Slots

DPReview compares the EOS R6 and the Sony a7 IV. From their conclusion:

The Sony a7 IV is the company’s first enthusiast model to be launched since Canon, Nikon and Panasonic joined the full-frame mirrorless melee. Looking through, detail by detail, it appears to do enough to pull Sony back ahead of what has been our favorite camera in the the sub-$2500 part of the market. There are no knockout punches landed against a camera as good as the R6, but the a7 IV keeps landing the blows: higher resolution and better dynamic range, slightly longer battery life, fewer restrictions and more support tools in video, a more useable fastest shooting rate.
The judge’s decision has to go the way of the Sony, then, with the scoring reflecting the much wider availability of lenses for the E-mount.
However, the viewers at home, particularly ones with an existing collection of EF-mount lenses may well dispute this decision. The a7 IV walks away with the title belt, but the R6 is likely to be recognized as a worthy fighter by many in the audience.
