After much teasing (just like the R5 before it), Canon has finally announced the full specifications and price of its new flagship full frame mirrorless camera, the Eos R3. It is the most advanced Canon camera to date and features a new sensor, updated autofocus and much more.

The R3 has a brand new sensor made by Canon: it has 24.1MP and a BSI / stacked structure, the latter being a first for the company. Similar to the Sony A9 and A1 series, this type of sensor allows a faster processing and readout speed, pushing the performance of the camera to new levels, especially when it comes to the electronic shutter, drive speed and live view (more on this in the next chapters).

The R5 has the advantage of more resolution – 45MP to be precise – but the sensor design is not as advanced as the R3’s. Both cameras feature a low-pass filter.

The Sony A9 was the first mirrorless camera capable of offering a true blackout-free experience when taking pictures with the electronic shutter. The live view on the EVF (or LCD screen) remains active when you start taking pictures, instead of alternating live view with blackouts, or disabling live view altogether and showing the pictures being recorded instead. This gives you a lag-free experience as well as an uninterrupted view of the scene in real-time, and you really notice the difference when following fast and unpredictable subjects such as birds for example.

The super quick processing capabilities of the R3 allow the camera to set a new standard when it comes to the fastest shutter speed possible, which is 1/64,000 with the electronic shutter. The R5 can go as fast as 1/8000s, which is also the fastest speed available when using the mechanical shutter on both cameras.

The other increase in speed concerns the maximum drive burst of 30fps. However the R5 defends itself well with 20fps, considering the higher resolution of the sensor.

Another thing about the R3 is that you can choose a slower speed with the electronic shutter (15fps when High-Speed is selected, or 3fps when Low-Speed is selected). With the R5, it’s always 20fps.

Another nice improvement is the maximum flash sync speed when using the electronic shutter, which is 1/180s. With the R5, you must set the mechanical or electronic-first curtain shutter.

The R3 and R5 use Canon’s advanced Dual Pixel CMOS AF II system. They work with a maximum of 1,053 areas when the tracking method is selected and they feature deep learning technology that allows the two models to track human or animal bodies, heads and eyes.

The R3 features an updated system in comparison to the R5, with the following improvements:it can recognise vehicles and helmets of racing drivers (cars and motorbikes)

This is a function that Canon first introduced with the EOS 3 film camera of the nineties, but this is the first time that it has been integrated onto a digital camera. It is a more accurate version that uses the company’s extensive knowledge of the medical division. It works with 8 infrared LED around the viewfinder to track the position of your eye. You can assign the setting to a button to quickly enable or disable it.

Another new feature in comparison to the R5 is the addition of the Optical Viewfinder (OVF) simulation mode, which uses HDR technology to give a brighter view of the scene using the full tonal range of the EVF panel.

Concerning the maximum resolution, the R3 can record 6K up to 60fps whereas the R5 can do 8K at 30fps. These formats are available without a sensor crop, and can be recorded internally in 12-bit RAW on the R3, or RAW and 10-bit 4:2:2 on the R5 (H.265 codec with C-Log or HDR PQ).

In 4K, they can both record up to 120fps with IPB or ALL-intra compressions. The sensor is not cropped but, in the case of the R5, it does line-skipping whereas the R3 over-samples from 6K. Below is a recap of the maximum bitrates available for each camera.FormatR3R58K 30p (RAW)--2600 Mbps

Another important difference is the recording limit. The R5 can do a maximum of 30 minutes per clip on paper, but various real-world tests have shown that the camera easily stops before that because of overheating issues.

The most noticeable difference on the outside is the larger body of the R3, which follows the same design of Canon flagship DSLRs and features a built-in vertical grip. As a result, the R3 is also heavier, although the difference is neutralised if you attach the optional R5 battery grip.R3: 150 x 142.6 x 87.2mm, 1015g

Both cameras are built with a magnesium alloy frame and are weather sealed. Canon says that the R5 has the same build quality standard as the 5D IV DSLR, whereas the R3 is at the same level as the 1D X series.

A first on a Canon camera, the Multi-Function Shoe on the R3, just like the one found on Sony cameras, allows you to mount a good variety of compatible accessories and allows for better communication with the camera, including digital audio recording with compatible microphones (no analog cable required). It can also connect to the network of a mobile phone with the Smartphone Link Adapter AD-P1.

The R5 has a lot to offer as well when it comes to performance, and has the advantage of a sensor with a higher resolution which can be helpful for key genres like wildlife. It costs less, which is another advantage, and its large array of features will probably satisfy the majority of users.

It’s a shame that the R5’s good name has been partially ruined with the overheating issue that affects 8K and 4K video recording. In this respect, the R3 looks like a more reliable product.

Surprised that this review didn’t mention that zebra stripes (exposure preview) is only available when shooting video. I assumed the feature was included, as this is a key benefit to mirrorless cameras. I wish that DPReview would advocate for Canon to provide this in an update.

To be honest, it would be great if Canon would offer the R6 and R5 with video-free models. As a still photographer, i"d be delighted to have just the photography capability for at least 1,000.00 less. They should do some market tests on video-free cameras.

Never going to happen. Because removing some video features which are mostly software is not going to decrease manufacturing costs. Not even development costs because all the software for video still needs to be developed for other cameras. Plus a stills only R5 would sell in smaller numbers and that usually means a higher selling price.

@dpreview, Is it possible that R5 has a 1.3x crop besides the 1.6x crop through firmware upgrade? Or it is a hardware thing? I would like to have both, something 1.6x is too much of a cropping

Thanks for mentioning this, NR in RAW files is a big no no, but at base iso to 640 ISO is almost unheard of. This is enough of an issue to make me not buy the R5.

I just wanted to highlight that the Canon 5R RAW Studio Test images cannot be downloaded. They are broken. I only get an mp4 file that does not wrk. The other cameras works fine. Would be nice if this could be fixed.

Is it ridiculous to want a detailed review to present more details on viewfinder quality under more varied conditions? I was appalled by R5"s poor viewfinder experience in not so low light, and it was set to smooth display (120 fps). From the review, quote: "... but 120fps will undoubtedly look nicer to those still used to optical viewfinders of DSLRs." No, it wasn"t even close to an OVF and there was no workaround. And I actually found Nikon Z7"s viewfinder much smoother. These aspects should be reviewed more thoroughly in a review supposed to test the camera under all conditions and help people that cannot try a camera in person.

I agree with what is posted there, meaning this stutter wasn"t present in the original Canon R. I"m not talking about the blackout (shown in the video) but the stutter when moving the camera around.

Incidentally I used cameras with EVFs and I do find them useful for some tasks, even if I prefer OVFs. I also use Canon DSLRs and I was curious about these new Canon RF mount cameras. If I was to take the R5/R6 reviews, I would have said that the EVF experience is great, but after trying the R5, the experience is not at all good for my eyes. Have you tried a R5/R6 yourself or you are just a generic Canon supporter?

The EVF units could be made by Sony but this has little to do with the final image. The problem in R5 and R6 is not related to the EVFs themselves but rather to how the sensors are read, probably to suppress overheating or to facilitate fast AF. There are more threads in the forums about this. The reviews should have mentioned this problem, but curiously were silent about it.

I know exactly what you mean about evf stutter. I have the same thing with Panasonic S5 in low light. A work around for me is to enable shutter speed preview and set the shutter speed to around 60 or higher. I dont know if you can do this with canon.

Yes, they have, but really, why not? Sensors, particularly by Canon, have improved. Honestly, I"d be surprised if the pro R camera didn"t do 8K, and addressed the heating issue in the R5. Just guesses, of course. All guesses are good at this point.

I recently moved from the original R to the R5, and while I expected improvements, I wasn"t ready for how much better the R5 was. Everything is faster, smoother, and easier to use. Could be the last "big" camera I buy. The AF and IBIS alone were worth the upgrade.

I just got the R5 a week ago as a photography camera. WOW. Everything is just amazing. The AF, the sensor, the speed, the viewfinder the image stabilization system. It is the most well rounded photography camera ever made. The CFExpress cards are just worlds better than the SD cards. They feel solid and are very very fast to write to and read from (used the AJA tool for testing https://www.aja.com/products/aja-system-test ). The camera overall is just very responsive and nails focus almost 100% of the time even in very low light. I would not mind if this camera were a tad larger (body). It is amazing how much Canon packed into this one. Such a powerfull tool no need to make it that small.

The R5 is easily the camera of the year. It generated the most excitement and buzz, and seems to be one of the best selling of the year, in spite of its relatively high price tag.

For stills, right now it probably is the. best overall package available, with high resolution coupled with an unsurpassed AF system that rivals the sports shooting models with lower megapixels. For birds and other animals, the animal AF is again class leading. Birders are going crazy with the R5.

I imagine I am Canon"s CEO, & I know prior to release what Jordan discovered, that it overheats in video, & takes so long to cool down it is useless except for stills, & then packs up again, even after installation of the firmware I should have delayed its release for, & I have to decide to release it, well, Hara-Kiri folks because in all honesty and integrity I could not. I just could not do it.

DIY Perks has fixed the overheating issues of the R5, demonstrating that Canon employed a subpar cooling solution and missed a trick of selling a cooling grip.

With the R5/R6 models, there is now very little reason for a Canon shooter to consider switching to Sony. That is one big impact of these models: they closed the door to Sony of any hopes they had of attracting a great migration of Canon shooters.

For years I was hoping that Canon would make something like this, but around the 1D body. Unfortunately for me it seems that Canon has relegated their high resolution bodies to the smaller form factors which I"ve never been a fan of holding. This looks like a great camera - Canon"s flagship as far as I"m concerned.

@Kandid - Yes, indeed that would be a nice idea. I"ve used grips before, but having the better features of the larger "brick" style bodies is something that you take for granted until you use the smaller bodies, which I must add, have become very, very competent/excellent bodies in their own right over the years. It"s just that teeny-tiny size that gets me-- yelch! (warm smile). I understand that I"m an outlier so I can"t blame canon for creating what works for the masses and I think they"ve hit a home run with their latest cameras. The R5 seems like a really nice kit coupled with premium glass.

IF a single body is unable to work without overheating, would I accept one that feeds the video processing via cable to a gizmo with/without a screen that I can stick in my pocket? YES.

The D850 is no slouch. Period. However, I wouldn"t consider it over the Canon R5 particularly. Better stabilization, better lenses, faster bread-n-butter lens in the 24-70mm range (full stop faster), better video at rates where heating isn"t an issue, etc.. There"s just too much good stuff in these new bodies today, that I"m just now starting to find them too compelling for me to overlook. For me- it wouldn"t be a contest.

FYI: OK - I have received the R5... but not the EF-EOS R adapter (I don’t own any R lenses), or the CFex card. Therefore I have a nice, COLD chunk of metal sitting idle for the moment.
