Canon’s EOS R3 is now officially available in Nepal, positioned between the EOS R5 and the flagship EOS-1D X series. Engineered for professionals in sports, wildlife, and action photography, the EOS R3 combines speed, advanced autofocus, and robust build quality. With cutting-edge features like Eye Control AF, stacked CMOS sensor, and high-frame-rate shooting, it’s a powerhouse designed for demanding environments. This article will discuss the latest Canon EOS R3, including its price in Nepal.
Canon EOS R3 Overview
Sensor and Processing
The Canon EOS R3 features a 24.1MP back-illuminated stacked full-frame CMOS sensor and the DIGIC X processor, enabling ultra-fast readout and top-tier image quality. Its ISO range extends up to 102400 (expandable to 204800), allowing it to perform exceptionally well even in low-light situations. The Dual Pixel CMOS AF II system, combined with deep learning, supports intelligent subject detection and precise tracking of eyes, faces, heads, animals, and vehicles. Firmware updates have enhanced this even further, enabling tracking of registered individuals and improved helmet detection.
Video Capability
With a blackout-free 30fps electronic shutter and 12fps mechanical shutter, the EOS R3 is built for speed. Users can even access custom high-speed burst modes at up to 195fps in RAW with firmware 1.2.0 or later.
On the video side, the EOS R3 supports 6K 60p RAW internal recording, 4K 120p, and Full HD 240p, with oversampling for sharper 4K output. Canon Log 3, HDR PQ, and 10-bit recording further enhance the dynamic range and grading options for filmmakers.
Display, Interface & Build Quality
Equipped with a 5.76M-dot blackout-free OLED EVF and a 3.2-inch vari-angle touchscreen, the EOS R3 offers intuitive shooting and reviewing. A unique Eye Control AF feature allows users to select the AF point simply by looking at it in the EVF—Canon’s first digital EOS camera with this technology.
The body features an integrated vertical grip, robust weather sealing, and a control layout inspired by the 1D series. The smart controller and multi-controller offer tactile, fast access to functions, ideal for professional use in unpredictable environments.
