We know plenty about the upcoming Canon EOS R3, with the notable exception of price, announcement date, and imaging sensor resolution. A mainstream media article backs our rumor about a 45MP sensor.

Discussing the rumored specifications of the Nikon Z9, Techradar reports an allegedly solid rumor suggesting the Nikon Z9 might have a 45MP imaging sensor doing up to 30fps. Techradar writes:

Canon hasn’t yet officially confirmed the resolution of the Canon EOS R3, its equivalent mirrorless camera for pro sports photographers, but rumors have strongly suggested that it’ll also be a 45MP camera. We do already officially know that R3 will be able to shoot 30fps bursts and oversampled 4K video.

Other sources have suggested a 30MP sensor is going to be featured on the EOS R3. Time will tell.

Latest intel suggests an EOS R3 announcement in Fall is likely. Expect the EOS R3 to get eventually announced in September 2021. In the meantime you might check some product images, or have a look at an interview with a Canon exec. Here are are the known and rumored EOS R3 specification in one list:

  • 45MP or 30.1MP backside illuminated image sensor (resolution is not confirmed yet)
  • Multi-Controller & Smart Controller
  • Vari-Angle Touch Screen
  • NEW accessory shoe
  • Wifi 5GHz
  • High speed 30fps electronic shutter with AF/AE tracking + RAW shooting at this speed
