Leveraging its capability to focus in 0.03 seconds, the EOS R3 is by far the fastest EOS R series camera and the fastest full frame mirrorless camera in the world delivering winning shots of motorbikes or wildlife with the finest details.

 

“EOS R3 is Canon’s first 6K camera and is equipped with a whole new sensor and an amazing eye control function. It is perfect for photographers who wishes to capture swift and action-packed moments. EOS R3 has a new magnesium alloy body, as light as 1000 grams, and handy to be out and about. I am enthralled to present this today to an audience who matter to this endeavour and share with this experience with them. We at Canon want to give a hands-on experience to put the camera to test in a natural environment,” Sandeep added.

Ferrari sharing his impression of the R3: “This camera is made for sports and action and is definitely my top and first choice. Its features made my life a lot easier in the past three months and will help me deliver winning shots in the upcoming major events such as Rugby Sevens, F1, and Abu Dhabi tennis tournament. I highly recommend EOS R3 photographers who want to shift to mirrorless technology, and those who are not afraid of transition. This camera makes the transition effortless, and its compatible with previous lenses without compromising quality and functionality”.

 

To complete the experience, attendees had a hands-on experience of the EOS R3 as they explore new techniques and play with lowlight shooting.
