"Inclusion of cars and motorbikes in AF tracking technology" This seems like the kind of thing they could bring to the R5/R6. I wonder if they'll do that. More on reddit.com

“YoU NeEd WaY MoRe THaN 24 MEgApIxELs” congrats though the r3 is such a fantastic camera and after using both that and the R1 the R3 definitely reigns supreme, its not aged at all, tools weather; people still use hand tools from the early 1900s and do incredible work it all depends on the user and their vision. Plus with that $2300 saved you could even buy a fantastic lens to compliment. Great choice, happy shooting! More on reddit.com

Out of the loop. Do we expect an R3 II or it's just the R1 from now on?
My guess is the R3 is one and done. More on reddit.com

June 2, 2021 - I would venture to say that a product like that is at least 2 years in development. If Canon is going to release an R1 next year, as many expect, then it is being developed right now. Also, I would expect that the overall product vision for the R1 and R3 and how they fit together in Canon's lineup was formulated a fews years back.

r/canon on Reddit: [New Gear] EOS R3
April 2, 2025 -

With the recent $1000 rebate on the R3, I decided to finally pull the trigger on my dream camera. I've always wanted a large pro body with the vertical grip way back to the 1D days. Despite its age, the R3 still feels like a tool from the future. I didn't think AF could get any better than the R5/R6, but I get it now. The R3 just locks on with no hesitation, even in pitch black settings. Eye focus seems like such a gimmick in the marketing, but setting it up and trying it out was mind blowing. I love the AF ON button(s), it's like having a trackpad on your camera. I have very large hands so I can now comfortably grip a camera in either position. This upgrade feels like moving from a BMW M340i to an M5. I played around with the R1 a bit but I could barely justify the R3 purchase, nevermind an additional $2300. I still love my R6 and plan to keep it as a backup, but also thinking of some young photographer browsing through Craigslist on the hunt for their first FF prosumer body. We'll see. Happy shooting!
