Canon EOS R3 Mirrorless Camera

EOS R3 Mirrorless Pro Camera

A camera that lets you photograph sport, wildlife and news in ways you never thought were possible. Stay ahead of the competition, shooting at 30fps and identifying subjects just by looking at them. Welcome to the future of photography.

Capture fast-moving subjects in pin-sharp focus, with ease

Professionals following moving objects around the frame will enjoy the EOS R3’s ability to keep them in pin-sharp focus – even when shooting RAW at 30fps – thanks to Canon’s Dual Pixel CMOS AF technology. Alongside the people and animal (including birds) AF tracking technology found in the EOS R5 and EOS R6, the EOS R3 is perfect for motorsports photographers – with its ability to track racing cars and motorbikes. And when light conditions get tough, the camera can focus in extreme darkness at light levels.

Supporting Canon’s unique Eye Control AF technology, which enables professionals to select the AF point with only their eye, the EOS R3 is an extension of any photographers’ creativity – reacting quickly in the moment to capture the shot. In low light, the EOS R3 offers up to 8-stops of protection against camera shakeii with Canon’s revolutionary combined Image Stabilizer (IS) technology. The camera’s sensor-shift IS works in tandem with the optical IS built into many RF Mount lenses, for a result that lets professionals shoot handheld in very dim light or while using long shutter speeds to intentionally blur movement.

High-quality RAW at 30fps

At the heart of the EOS R3 lies a brand-new back illuminated stacked CMOS sensor, working together with Canon’s high-performance DIGIC X image processor. Today, Canon can confirm it will capture quality RAW files at a staggering 30fps with full AF/AE tracking. The breath-taking speed of the camera’s new sensor also redefines what can be done with an electronic shutter. Flash sync is now possible with the electronic shutter when used with external Speedlites, and rolling shutter distortion when shooting fast-moving subjects has been reduced.

Oversampled 4K and RAW recording abilities

In addition to its next-level still photography capabilities, the EOS R3 is suited to those looking to capture high-quality video. The camera will record oversampled 4K, or users can record RAW footage internally. Canon Log 3 is also available to provide professionals with greater dynamic range and colour grading possibilities. Crucially, the same object recognition available to stills photographers is also available to videographers, so filmmakers can track fast-moving objects around the frame, keeping them in sharp focus.

Built for professionals

Built to withstand the rigours of day-to-day professional use, the EOS R3 will have a tough, magnesium-alloy body featuring dust and water resistance to the same level as Canon’s legendary EOS-1D X series – ensuring it can cope in the toughest weather conditions. Dual card slots allow image files to be written to SD or CFexpress memory cards. The camera is powered by a high-capacity LP-E19 battery – the same as the one found in Canon’s EOS-1D X Mark III cameras – enabling professionals to use and share batteries between cameras that they may already have in their kitbag. The camera will also offer a choice of controls with both multi controller and smart controller – for completely intuitive operation. Offering three customisable dials on the body, plus a Lens Control ring on each RF Mount lens, this allows shutter speed, aperture, ISO, and exposure compensation all to be easily adjusted while the camera is at the photographer’s eye. The EOS R3 is also equipped with a Vari-Angle screen letting professionals compose easily from creative perspectives.

Advanced connectivity

As a camera intended for leading sports and news shooters – connectivity is vital. Offering a built in Wired LAN socket and 5GHz Wi-Fiiii allowing communication with computer networks, laptops and mobile devices, professionals can share images quickly and easily. As previously announced, the EOS R3 is also compatible with the Canon Mobile File Transfer app. What’s more, the EOS R3 will feature a new accessory shoe which provides data communication and power for new accessories when attached to the camera.

Outpace. Outperform.

Capture speed in a way never thought possible. The EOS R3 is the new high-performance, high-speed mirrorless camera to mark a new era for pro sports photography and filmmaking – coming soon.

The new high-performance, high-speed mirrorless pro camera.
A camera designed to capture the fastest moving action in a way never thought possible.

Specialised for capturing objects moving at high speed. Built to meet the demands of professional sports users with ultra-responsiveness, high sensitivity, reliability and durability.

Explosive Speed
The EOS R3 is coming. The first EOS to feature an entirely new stacked BSI CMOS sensor designed and manufactured by Canon and combined with the power of the DIGIC X imaging processor. Imagine a whole new dimension of hi-speed photography and filmmaking. Shoot 30fps with full AF/AE tracking with minimal image distortion when using the electronic shutter.

Master movement
The EOS R3 focusing has been elevated to another level and is able to accurately track and focus on faster moving action. Next generation Dual Pixel CMOS AF II can reliably track the eyes and heads of subjects at up to a full 30fps. Canon is excited to add a new subject to the AF tracking in the EOS R3.

Ultra responsive
Introducing a new generation of photographers to Canon’s ultra-ground-breaking Eye Control AF system. This AF control system has been engineered from the ground up for the 21st century. Imagine the ability to simply select and move the AF point with the look of your eye using the EOS R3’s viewfinder. Canon’s Eye Control AF offers unparalleled control over AF. The EOS R3's EOS-1D series inspired body allows for ultra-intuitive control in the most demanding professional situations.

Built for professionals
With EOS-1D series level dust and drip proof performance, the EOS R3 offers professional levels of weather resistance stand up to the adverse weather conditions professional photographers’ regularly face. Better still, it has the integrated grip that EOS-1D series users love and trust but with a reduced overall camera size and significantly lower weight vs the EOS-1D series.

Advanced connectivity
The EOS R3 is fully compatible with the newly announced Mobile File Transfer smartphone app, providing a new way to transmit images whilst on the move.

Next generation system
By using the RF mount the EOS R3 opens the door to previously unattainable capabilities; unseen optical excellence and unparalleled AF performance.
