absolutely love that Canon embrace the 3-dial control layout!

I agree , my 7D ii grip is great ergonomically but it doesn't quite match the main body and an integrated grip should be exactly the sameImmediate annoyance: horizontal and vertical grip buttons and dials aren't consistently placed, relative to one another. With the R5+grip it's awful. This looks like it might be a bit better, but it should be perfect.
I never missed a flippy screen on my several 5D mark-somethings, but once working with a 60D with flippy screen made me instantaneously miss it on the 5D-series.The flippy screen means you get a tiny screen
I think its very likely that it works. They sticked with the LP-E6 for the Canon R5, and since this looks like the same old 1D battery, I guess it will be an updated version but with downward compatibility =)Of course not..
Hang on the RF 400 and 600 arer already out, and I was referring to Canon Rumours own post that next year we get 500 f/4 and that the first 300 f/2.8 we might get is a zoom. It also mentioned the 500 f/4 would be much smaller and lighter. Only way I can see that happening is with DO. These shouldn't be lazy efforts like the 400 and 600 that basically just welded on the EF-RF adapter ala Sigma for Sony. They should be designed for RF natively.
I have a privilege of using 70D, 6D and 1D Mk III (without X). It looks like R3 has all their advantages (FF, DP AF, flipped screen and grip) integrated (plus Eye-Control AF).I never missed a flippy screen on my several 5D mark-somethings, but once working with a 60D with flippy screen made me instantaneously miss it on the 5D-series.
So: flippy screen trumps large screen.
And now imagine how those people, who lived and worked with cameras 10-40 years ago, would complain if they had to work with cameras which were created 40-80 years ago? Comparing generations to each almost never works for me because mostly people just single out one factor...Can you imagine the whining if some of these folks had to live with cameras from 10-40 years ago? Oh that's right, it would all seem miraculous. Spoiled brats.
I agree. Not counting the M6 (which has tilt but not full articulation), I had only fixed screens until the EOS R. I used an Angle Finder C with my 1D X occasionally. First serious use of the EOS R was on a trip to Whistler, BC where I snowshoed up to partially-frozen waterfalls, and because at some spots I was standing on several meters of powder and wanted long exposures, the only place to set up my tripod was on the snowshoes I was wearing. That necessitated a reduced leg spread that put the camera at my waist, but the articulated display allowed me to get the shots.I never missed a flippy screen on my several 5D mark-somethings, but once working with a 60D with flippy screen made me instantaneously miss it on the 5D-series.

Concur jam05, however we don't have any track record yet, showing the swivel screen will not be it's inclement weather weak point over time. We're all excited to see what the R3 can do and how it will hold up to professional use and abuse. Perhaps, the upcoming Japan Olympics will shed some light on both.For those who said that a pro body had to have a fixed display because of weather sealing. This body clearly dispells that theory. Canon has clearly incorporated the moveable and most likely full touch display into a professional body.
Aye, mate, that is the question, indeed, to which no one has given a valid answer. I was surprised at the omission, as well.I still don't understand why Canon did not bother at least to "weld" a control ring adapter instead of just a basic one. These are $12K lenses and even the ultra cheap 50mm 1.8 has a control ring.
I have always been surprised that Olympus does not sell many more cameras than what they do. They make some great products and have a cult like following.First message here so I'll take the chance to say Hi!
I know they compete in different categories but the Olympus EM1X, although not regarded as a pro camera by many/most, is basically waterproof and has a tilt flip screen that works a treat. I own it and have put the camera under the tap to clean off mud. That is a 3 year old camera that sells for 1600£ now, so surely all the big brands could implement it if they wanted to. FWIW, to me a flippy-tilty screen makes using the camera that much easier and in fact, there are countless photos I would have struggled to take had I not had it.
I just hope the R3 resolution makes sense for wildlife and it's priced right, cause it sure looks like a proper tool for the job
I love flippy screens but unfortunately I love L brackets. It is a tough life I live.I never missed a flippy screen on my several 5D mark-somethings, but once working with a 60D with flippy screen made me instantaneously miss it on the 5D-series.

Me, too. Might get some chuckles here, but I always thought the top portion of the 1D series looked like a Samurai warrior in full battle gear.I find the entire series from EOS-1 on to be fantastic: 1, 1N, 1V, 1D's and 1Ds's.
I have an Olympus. I love the way it looks. For me, that's where the attraction ends. Menus? OMG!!!!I have always been surprised that Olympus does not sell many more cameras than what they do. They make some great products and have a cult like following.
The EOS R5 and R6 were only the beginning.
Using Deep Learning technology,
the upcoming EOS R3 will offer enhanced AF performance
and tracking capabilities, with even better face-, eye-,
head- and body-detection.
And, the EOS R3 will add a new type of subject recognition, for its AF system.
The two are not incompatible. I have an RRS L-bracket on my EOS R. It constrains the movement a bit, but not excessively.I love flippy screens but unfortunately I love L brackets. It is a tough life I live.
