Description

The Canon EOS R3 combines the best features of the EOS R5 and EOS 1DX Mark III. The Canon EOS R3 is the first EOS digital camera to feature Eye Control AF which allows you to control focusing by looking at the AF points and selecting them in the viewfinder.

The R3 is highly versatile with a built-in wired LAN, GPS, USB, WI-Fi, and Bluetooth connections.

Pros:

  • Up to 8 stops of in body image stabilization
  • Multiple ways of controlling AF positioning: classic multi-controller, the Smart Controller, and new Eye Control AF.
  • Fast continuous shooting of up to 30 frames per second

Cons:

  • Could have used more megapixels
  • Many reviewers would have preferred if there were dual CFexpress card slots instead of a CFexpress and SD.
  • High learning curve required
