September is shaping up to be a busy month for Canon with rumors that the greatly anticipated EOS R3 is due to be announced September 14. One lucky photographer has a preproduction model in his hands and can at least give you a quick tour of the body and its various buttons and screens.
Jared Polin appears to have been watched very carefully by a Canon employee during the making of this video, and while he can’t tell you the number of megapixels, there’s a fairly broad assumption that the R3 will be 24 megapixels. Back in July, some sleuthing revealed that images shot on an R3 being used by a photographer documenting the Olympics had not been stripped of their metadata, revealing the file dimensions and allowing Canon fans to calculate the resolution. The manufacturer might yet surprise us with something else, but at this stage, it seems fairly unlikely despite their ongoing secrecy regarding the official figure.
Canon is also slated to have a couple of lenses due for release this month. According to Canon Rumors, there is an RF 100-400mm IS USM with an aperture range that is likely to be f/5.6-7.1, and an RF 16mm f/2.8, which some assume will be very compact and lightweight — perhaps ideal on a small APS-C body?
If it’s released in the next couple of weeks, when might we see the R3 on shelves? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
