Nikon has declared the development of its high-end mirrorless camera in progress, and now Canon has returned with the report of the EOS R3, which has to fit in a comparable bracket. The R3 is still in construction and the specifications are thin, but it’ll be placed above the EOS R5, which is currently Canon’s flagship mirrorless camera.

Like Nikon’s forthcoming Z9, the EOS R3 seems to be a heavy camera with a built-in upright handle for shooting in portrait and landscape adjustments. The whole design and control layout is broadly comparable to the EOS-1D X Mark III, Canon’s highest-end pro DSLR, and the body emphasizes dust and water protection.

Canon says the EOS R3 will be the first camera to practice a different 35mm full-frame accumulated CMOS sensor with backside illumination, and its picture processor and the automatic shutter will provide for 30fps shooting with Auto-Focus and After-Effect tracking. Canon is promoting the EOS R3’s autofocus abilities, too. It’s the primary digital camera from the company with eye-control Auto-Focus, and a deep-learning algorithm has continued used to enhance the identification of human subjects from the torso up, which is supposed to promote its appearance in challenging circumstances like sports photography.

That’s regarding it for accessories from Canon; the company hasn’t provided any specific specifications, let simply a price or a release date. But concurrently with Nikon’s Z9 and Sony’s new A1, the pro mirrorless camera battles are burning up — and the EOS R3’s name intimates Canon may have something even higher-end in the sequence.
