One of the most exciting observations to me, take a look at the area to the right of the shutter button.
On the R3, the grip looks like it sticks out the same distance, but that the rest of the body is flat immediately following the grip. Whereas on the 1DX mark III, the EF mount's mirrorbox makes this area continue to stick out. I'd bet that the R3 is significantly thinner than the 1DX mark III, but that the grip simply sticks out more from the camera to give you an even bigger/identical grip to the 1DX mark III.
This grip looks nothing like the R5's grip, which is very nice on its own, but instead looks like a full-fledged 1D with the large overhang for your pointer finger.
You can also tell that overall, the lens mount of the camera was moved slightly more towards the grip-side, giving you more room for your fingers when using a big fat lens. That's a huge plus over Sony ergonomics, which squish your fingers into big lenses.
This looks like it will be an absolute pleasure to handle.
