The EVF seems very very protruding compared to the 1DXmkIII.
I'm not a pro nor user of such a body, but could be an issue to store it intoa bag no?

What do we think for the resolution? I'm guessing ~32.5MP, midway between the 1DX3 and R5.
You may be right. But an R3 type is the first for Canon in digital—which to me indicates a re-jig of the lineup.Typically, the 1 series cameras have not been the highest MP Canon camera even if they have been the most capable Canon camera. Canon eventually will bring to market the long-promised high MP camera. This will be a niche camera and will best in resolution everyother Canon camera. But it may and likely will not be Canon's best camera even if it is the best Canon camera for the niche it serves.
You'd lose that bet resoundingly.I'd wager 20MP. The fact that they're not trumpeting the resolution is pretty suggestive that it's not an exciting spec, so staying the same as the R6/1DXiii wouldn't surprise me in the least.
He was being sarcastic, I think.Anyone who has to recover 8 stops over-exposed images has a much deeper problem with photography I guess
Nowhere is the megapixels mentioned in the announcement. Don't confuse forum guesses with news.I was hoping for higher MP, and this is not promising. Too bad as I would have put in a preorder. But it sounds like the R3 is going to make reach-limited subjects even smaller, which is not what I am looking for in a wildlife body.
Reach will continue to be an issue for me until Canon develops lighter weight high performing telephotos.
What I don’t understand is why Canon is stating this body will compete with the A1 and Z9 if it will have half the MPs. Also, why the big marketibg hype about undercutting the competition when you are selling something that isn’t in line with those products anyway?
Hopefully Canon is just playing games anf does have a sensor of at least 30MP-45MP. Maybe they are scared of advertizing 8k again if it is limited recording time again.Fingers crossed for better news but I am prepared to be disappointed.
Something to compete with this. Having an easy interface on the camera to plug in pro audio equipment (XLR) is a huge benefit for videography.'New' accessory shoe? Does anyone guess what that would be?

Well, we know it has oversampled 4k, so more than 12MP, and they don't mention 8K, so almost certainly less than 50. Yes, anything else is a guess, but given that they're not mentioning it, it seems unlikely to be an exciting spec.Nowhere is the megapixels mentioned in the announcement.

Not so sure about that myself. How many scenes are interesting enough that are 30 mins long?Something to compete with this. Having an easy interface on the camera to plug in pro audio equipment (XLR) is a huge benefit for videography.

This could be a really nice video camera if Canon would get rid of the crippling 30 minute record limit. The only real feature it would be missing would be built-in ND filters (which I'll admit is a pretty big feature).
Doubt they will put in ND filters in a hybrid camera. They will reserve that feature for C line cameras.Something to compete with this. Having an easy interface on the camera to plug in pro audio equipment (XLR) is a huge benefit for videography.

I'm thinking more like 60-80Mp. If it comes in below the R5, then I'm not breaking my piggy bank for lower resolution.What do we think for the resolution? I'm guessing ~32.5MP, midway between the 1DX3 and R5.
Long form video is very popular. Set the camera for an interview or wildlife scene etc and let it run, then edit out the good bits. Indeed in interviews getting the camera and gear handling out of the equation is very important, nothing breaks the flow of things quite like somebody saying cut I have to reset the camera!Not so sure about that myself. How many scenes are interesting enough that are 30 mins long?
Then your piggy bank can rest easy for a while...I'm thinking more like 60-80Mp. If it comes in below the R5, then I'm not breaking my piggy bank for lower resolution.
I'll dump my R5 for higher resolution and eye focus otherwise I'll just wait for the R1. I would have thought that Canon had learned their lesson about video with a stills camera and tailor the R3 for stills work. I see absolutely no reason to drop back 5 years in resolution especially with Sony at 60mp.As of now, I think R5 will be my camera. This is nice, but nothing really compelling to upgrade. R5 rocks!
The R1 is likely the one most of us are waiting for
Let's see drop the resolution by 50% and increase the price by 50%, sounds like a good idea to me! Well, Duh!What do we think for the resolution? I'm guessing ~32.5MP, midway between the 1DX3 and R5.
