EOS R3 is official – the new sports hero from Canon

 

Today Canon officially unveils the EOS R3, its new flagship full frame mirrorless camera aimed at sports photographers and reportage journalists. It's fast and furious, incredibly well-connected and offers more than 100 tweaks, improvements and new features over previous cameras.

The EOS R3 is a blend of the EOS-1D X Mark III and the EOS R5. It can shoot at 30 frames per second, record 6K video, track people, animals and also motorsport vehicles across all areas.

Eye Control gives you a new(ish) way to control your AF points. As well as a multi controller and smart controller, you can now just look at your subject through the viewfinder and eight iREDs will utilise your eye movement to acquire your subject.

It's the first EOS camera to utilise a backside illuminated stacked CMOS sensor – and it's one of the key factors that enables such a step-up in power and speed. Combined with Canon's latest generation of DIGIC X processors, this camera is a powerhouse for professionals.

There's so much more to cover, so head over to the EOS system hub to learn more, including the full press release, plus download the specifications at:

The EOS R3 is expected to be on sale from November 2021 with an RRP of £5879.99.

RF 28-70mm f2.8 IS STM announced

Canon Europe today announces the RF 28-70mm f2.8 IS STM, a new lightweight lens designed to be a next step for photographers wanting to upgrade from their kit lens.   Designed for a variety of shooting scenarios, from portraiture to street and travel, the fast f2.8 constant aperture throughout the zoom range is ideal for shooting in low light conditions, capturing everything from fading ‘blue hour’ light to dimly lit indoor scenes. Built with reliability in mind, this weather-resistant lens also allows for shooting handheld at slower shutter speeds in lower light environments with optical image stabilisation of up to 5.5 stops.   Measuring just 92.2mm in length when retracted and weighing 490g, this latest lens is among the lightest of its kind. With a significant weight reduction compared to previous lens options, it pairs perfectly with the smaller full frame EOS R-series bodies, such as the EOS R, RP and R8. The RF 28-70mm f2.8 IS STM offers swift adjustments to shutter spe...

Firmware updates for EOS R1 and R5 Mark II

Canon has released new firmware for its flagship EOS R1 camera (version 1.0.2) as well as the EOS R5 Mark II (version 1.0.3), both of which offer the following enhancement and fix: 1. Optimizes the timing of the camera's display of its internal camera temperature warning indicator. 2. Fixes an issue that may interfere with the camera's ability to focus properly when using AF (autofocus) in certain zoom ranges. For the EOS R5 Mark II, Canon advises that if the camera's firmware is Version 1.0.1, you should update the firmware with only one memory card inserted into the camera. You should always read the instructions that come with the firmware update, as there are often details specific to that update, as with the EOS R5 Mark II (above).
