The Canon EOS R3 Mirrorless Camera with RF 24-105mm f/4-7.1 IS STM Lens with EF-EOS R mount adapte...The Canon EOS R3 Mirrorless Camera with RF 24-105mm f/4-7.1 IS STM Lens with EF-EOS R mount adapter will change the way you think about mirrorless cameras. A new back-illuminated stacked sensor can freeze action at 1/64, 000 and powers continuous shooting at up to 30fps. Eye-controlled AF intelligently recognises and tracks subjects as you shoot superb for sports, news and wildlife photography. Explosive speed at 30fps Enjoy a top shutter speed of 1/64, 000sec and 30fps burst shooting, with simultaneous AF/AE tracking.Among the most significant technologies in the R3 is the 24.1MP stacked sensor which affords truly fast readout speeds to help reduce rolling shutter distortion and benefit fast continuous shooting and video recording applications. This full-frame BSI CMOS sensor is also benefitted by an updated DIGIC X processor, which helps boost the overall speed for up to 30 fps continuous shooting with an electronic shutter, 6K 60p raw and 4K 120p video recording, and intelligent Dual Pixel CMOS II autofocus with Eye Control AF for intuitive focus point selection.
The R3 is also the first EOS R-series camera to feature a built-in vertical grip, making it an ergonomic choice for long shooting times and for seamlessly switching between horizontal and vertical shooting orientations. The rugged body design also incorporates a high-resolution 5.76m-dot OLED EVF and a 3.2" vari-angle touchscreen LCD, along with dual memory card slots, wireless and wired connectivity, and an updated Multi-Function Shoe design for expanded accessory compatibility.

How does Eye-Controlled AF work?
When enabled, the camera tracks the movement of your eye through the viewfinder to intelligently select and move the autofocus point to where you are looking on the screen.
Can I use my older EF lenses with the EOS R3?
Yes, the included EF-EOS R mount adapter allows you to use most Canon EF-mount lenses with the EOS R3.
What type of memory cards does the EOS R3 support?
The EOS R3 features dual card slots that support both CFexpress Type B and SD UHS-II memory cards, offering high-speed performance.
What is the battery life like?
The camera comes with an LP-E19 battery pack. Battery life will vary significantly based on usage, particularly continuous shooting and video recording. For best results, carry spare charged batteries.
Is this camera suitable for beginners?
