The new Canon EOS R3 Mirrorless Camera is designed to capture objects moving at high speed and built to meet the exacting demands of professional shooters, with ultra-responsiveness, high sensitivity, high reliability and durability.
At the heart of the EOS R3 lies a brand-new 24.1MP back-illuminated stacked CMOS sensor, working in concert with our world-class DIGIC X image processor. Together, they deliver the fast readout and processing required for RAW files to be captured at 30fps, with full AF/AE tracking.
Taking object-tracking capabilities to new heights, EOS R3 features people and animal AF tracking modes and can also track cars and motorbikes – making it perfect for motorsports shooters. With Canon's unique Eye Control AF technology, the EOS R3 focuses where you are looking. Giving you unparalleled control over AF, allowing the camera to react as quickly as you do to ever-changing scenes.
Benefit from up to 8-stops of protection against camera shake with Image Stabilizer (IS) technology. The camera’s In-Body IS works in tandem with the Optical IS built into many RF lenses, letting you shoot handheld in dim light or while using longer shutter speeds.
Capture oversampled 4K or RAW video footage internally to a CFexpress card with Canon Log 3 for greater dynamic range and colour grading possibilities. Crucially, the same object recognition available to stills photographers is also available to videographers.
At the heart of the Canon EOS R3 lies the brand-new 24.1 Megapixel Back-illuminated stacked CMOS sensor, and DIGIC X image processor. Together, they allow superb quality RAW files to be captured at up to 30 fps, with full AF/AE tracking.
EOS R3 is designed from the ground up to capture objects moving at high speed and built to meet the stringent demands of professional shooters, with ultra-responsiveness, high sensitivity up to 102400, plus the high reliability and durability Canon Professional users have known to expect.
Change focus points and start tracking a new subject with Canon's unique Eye Control AF technology. This unparalleled control allows you to quickly change focus points - perfect for responding to fast to ever-changing scenes.

The Canon EOS R3 features a new advanced accessory shoe which provides data communication and power for a range of new optional accessories when attached to the camera.
New Advanced Accessory Shoe Accessories (sold separately)
The responsive electronic viewfinder (EVF) of the EOS R3 supports blackout-free burst shooting and subject tracking with fast refresh rate.
The variable-angle LCD monitor makes it easier to shoot from high and low angles or shoot in portrait orientation.
A smart controller optical device is built into the AF-On button to enable a faster and more intuitive selection of autofocus points.
The multi-controller facilitates familiar, quick and intuitive selection and adjustment of the AF frame.
Shooting in portrait orientation with the Canon EOS R3 is ergonomic and instinctive with an integrated vertical grip with a complete 2nd set of controls.
Built to withstand the rigours of day-to-day professional use, the EOS R3's tough body is sealed to the same level as Canon's legendary EOS-1D series.
The EOS R3 is powered by a high-capacity LP-E19 battery, the same as you'll find in the EOS-1D X Mark III so you can keep the same battery platform between models.
Dual card slots allow files to be quickly written to CFexpress Type B or SD UHS-II media.
The RF600mm F11 IS STM, RF800mm F11 IS STM, RF400mm F2.8L IS USM, and RF600mm F4L IS USM for coordinated control IS are not supported
Calibration is recommended in advance. Note that Eye Control AF may not function properly if the user wears sunglasses, mirror-type sunglasses, hard contact lenses, or bifocal eyeglasses, or due to the user's eye conditions (narrow eyes, long eyelashes, thick eyelids) or use conditions. It is necessary to press a button to lock the focus.
