Canon R3 Overview

Next-Level Speed, Performance, and Reliability
Built for action and versatility, the Canon EOS R3 combines technology from their mirrorless EOS R system with the robustness and performance you'd expect from a flagship DSLR. Revolving around a new full-frame stacked sensor, updated AF performance, and a refined body design, the EOS R3 is the first 3-Series camera since the film era and plants itself as a fast-shooting, flexible, and contemporary mirrorless camera.
Full-Frame Stacked Sensor and DIGIC X Processor
24.1MP BSI Stacked CMOS Sensor
A first for EOS cameras, the R3 features a stacked sensor design that promotes impressively fast read-out speeds to greatly reduce rolling shutter distortion and enable faster shooting performance. This 24.1MP full-frame CMOS chip also has a back-illuminated design that is more efficient at gathering light, which leads to reduced noise, higher clarity, and smoother color rendering, particularly when working in low-light conditions.
DIGIC X Processor
An updated DIGIC X complements the new sensor design with capable processing and the ability to perform simultaneous high-speed tasks, such as 30 fps high-speed shooting while performing AF and AE readings before each frame. The processor also helps to realize a broad sensitivity range from ISO 100-102400, which is expandable to ISO 50-204800, for working in a broad variety of lighting conditions.
Electronic Shutter
A main benefit of the stacked sensor design is an electronic shutter function that can shoot continuously up to 30 fps, for up to 150 raw frames, with virtually no rolling shutter distortion. When working in manual or shutter-priority modes, the top shutter speed is 1/64,000 sec and flash sync is possible with an electronic shutter, up to 1/180 sec. This versatile shutter function is inherently silent, but can be paired with a choice of audible shutter noises to go along with each shutter click to make it easier for subjects to recognize when a photo has been taken.

A manual shutter is also available, and offers a top continuous shooting speed of 12 fps, with a buffer of more than 1000 frames, along with a top flash sync speed of 1/250 sec.
6K Raw and DCI/UHD 4K Video Recording
Contributing to notable video performance, the 24MP full-frame sensor offers high-res 6K raw 12-bit internal recording and uncropped 4K 120p 10-bit recording with Canon Log 3. Both 6K and 5.6K recording areas can be used for oversampled DCI and UHD 4K shooting with improved sharpness, reduced moiré, and lower noise. HDR-PQ recording is possible for in-camera HDR production and external recording, via the HDMI port and supports a clean 4K output up to 60 fps. All-I, IPB, and IPB Light compression options are available, along with the ability to use Dual Pixel CMOS AF II when shooting up to 6K raw. Unlimited recording times are possible, too, and the R3 features both mic and headphone ports, as well as a micro-HDMI Type-D port for clean output to an external recorder.
Autofocus and Image Stabilization
Dual Pixel CMOS AF II
An improved Dual Pixel CMOS AF II system features 1053 automatic AF points, which cover the entire sensor area, for faster, more responsive, and more precise focusing performance. This upgraded phase-detection focusing system also has enhanced subject detection and tracking, with the ability to intelligently recognize eyes, faces, heads (including helmets), animals, and vehicles. Tracking will automatically lock onto these subjects and maintain sharp focus throughout burst captures. Dual Pixel AF II's low-luminance limit has also been improved to focus down to an impressive -7.5 EV for accurate focusing, even at night.
Eye Control AF
New to EOS digital cameras, Canon is re-introducing Eye Control AF with the R3. This popular feature from the film era has been refined and tuned to work in conjunction with Dual Pixel CMOS AF's intelligent focusing capabilities. Eye Control AF allows shooters to use their eye to initiate where the focus point is simply by looking through the electronic viewfinder. The camera will take control using subject tracking and detection to keep the sighted subject in sharp focus.
Sensor-Shift Image Stabilizer
The In-Body Image Stabilizer (IBIS) corrects unwanted camera shake when shooting handheld, helping in low-light conditions and reducing shake when recording videos. This 5-axis system can be used in conjunction with lenses featuring optical image stabilization to compensate for up to 8 stops of camera shake depending on the specific lens.
Body Design
5.76m-Dot EVF and Vari-Angle Touchscreen LCD
An impressive 5.76m-dot OLED electronic viewfinder is featured for clear, high-resolution eye-level viewing. This 0.76x-magnification finder is benefitted by the stacked sensor design, too, and affords blackout free viewing when working with an electronic shutter and supports a 120-fps refresh rate for realistic motion portrayal. The large area of the viewfinder also permits displaying extensive shooting information, if desired, and the information display rotates with the camera for more natural viewing.

The 3.2" vari-angle LCD benefits working high, low, and front-facing angles. The flexible position combined with the touchscreen interface and impressive 4.15m-dot resolution allows for vivid playback and live-view monitoring.
Professional-Grade Body Construction
Taking after flagship DSLR designs, the R3 sports a robust and ergonomic body design with an integrated grip for improved comfort when shooting in either horizontal or vertical orientations. The R3 features both the smart controller and multi-controller from previous EOS cameras, making for an intuitive handling experience, and it has a similar rear layout to the 1D X Mark III and R5 bodies. This larger body design makes room for the high-capacity LP-E19 battery to provide extended shooting sessions and is built to the same weather-sealed specifications as the flagship EOS-1D X Mark III.
Dual Memory Card Slots
A CFexpress Type B slot and a UHS-II SD slot offer file-saving flexibility. The CFexpress Type B slot should be prioritized for 6K video recording and fast continuous shooting, and the SD slot is a convenient alternative for backups or less speed-critical shooting.
Connectivity
Extensive wired and wireless connectivity options allow for multiple methods of transferring photos, videos, and voice memo data. The camera has a 1000BASE-T Ethernet interface and RJ-45 port for a fast and secure hardwired connection. 5GHz Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are available for transferring wirelessly and remote camera control. Users of select smartphones can also make use of their device's mobile data for sharing files directly from the camera over 5G networks when connected to the R3 via USB. There is also a built-in GPS module, which is compatible with GLONASS and QZSS, for in-camera location tagging to help streamline any geotagging and timestamp needs.
Next-Generation Multi-Function Shoe
An update to a conventional hot shoe, the Multi-Function Shoe adds a row of pins at the front for greater accessory functionality and provides power to select accessory types that traditionally rely on separate batteries. This updated shoe is compatible with select accessories, including the ST-E10 Speedlite Transmitter, DM-E1D Stereo Microphone, and AD-P1 Smartphone Link Adapter, as well as the AD-E1 Multi-Function Shoe Adapter for compatibility with legacy shoe-mounted accessories.

Does this camera support time sync & anamorphic video ?
Asked by: Hobert
This camera does not have a dedicated timecode input. if you want to sync this camera with other cameras or other audio devices you will have to use a timecode device that embeds timecode on the audio channel such as a Tentacle Sync Sync E Timecode Generator with Bluetooth (Dual Set) (B&H # TETE2 MFR # TE2) Canon has not announced any Anamorphic shooting modes at this time however it is possible for them to add anamorphic shooting modes with future firmware updates.
