Wow, quite surprised by the flip-out screen.

Probably saving it for the R1.Not that I necessarily expected it, but I do see a lack of a GPS chip housing bump that Canon tends to use (different material to allow for better reception).
Personally, I very much miss the GPS functionality I had with previous cameras to my R5. Pairing with phone is doable, but keeping it paired is ludicrously unreliable.
This is one thing that I can see the 1DX III might have an advantage in.
Perhaps Q has a huge negative connotation now and then need a different letter!Does anyone else think the "Q" button looks strange. Hard to make out on the low-resolution image, but it doesn't look like a "Q" to me.
You know, now that you mention it, I am surprised I have not seen fast charging in a camera. I do not know much about if this would be possible with the internals, but charging batteries is one of the most tedious tasks for any photographer. If a camera like the R1 was able to implement this, it would be a blessing.it could be that the articulated lcd screen makes the R3 a notch 'less pro' than the R1 .. doesn't canon forgo this feature in it's 1 series ? but I have to agree with the other posters here, it looks very much like a 1 series. makes me wonder what the R1 is going to have (even better AF w/ deep learning, no SD cards, built like a tank, super fast charging - like 5 mins for 0->100% .. ?)
Maybe R1 talks to your Neuralink implant which is included in the 8k price tag including installation ...One disappointing aspect of this camera is that there are only four ways in which you can adjust the AF point
-Eye sensor
-Multi-controller (2x)
-Joystick (2x)
-Touch & Drag
For a Pro camera, this is simply not enough. Hopefully the R1 can do better than that.
Any mention of file capture size ? Also Canon is famous for changing data cards with every new model: compact flash > CFast > CF Express, etc. Hope they stay where they are. My desk is already cluttered with card readers !
When are we going to see a bezel-less display, Canon? Not even in 6K camera?
My 3YO phone is using the screen space much better. You can put a bigger screen in the same space!
Would people buy a second best camera, if it costs 80% or so of the best camera?
Not if you do an overlay of the R3 on the 1DX II and scale them to the same battery size. Then the actual screen, not the bezel, is a good bit smaller on the R3.It's just as big as on any other camera, 3.2-inch, just like the 1DX series.
