Canon EOS R3 Mirrorless Digital Camera (Body Only)

The EOS R3 is the closest thing Canon has yet produced to a mirrorless EOS-1 Series camera, and many users are likely to wonder what it's missing to deprive it of that status. Canon tells us that while the spec and performance are very high, not every component is necessarily to 1-Series standard.

The Canon EOS R3 is high-end mirrorless camera aimed at professionals who demand the fastest speed and toughest body. It’s Canon’s most powerful mirrorless camera to date, and while it outperforms the 1Dx Mark III in most respects, it’s officially positioned between it and the EOS R5.

The R5 and R6 were significant introductions for Canon last year, but the R3 takes things up a notch with the ability to shoot at 30fps, a new (or re-introduced) method of AF point selection and a very high-resolution vari-angle screen.
