Canon Celebrates 35th Anniversary Of The EOS System

Next month, Canon will celebrate the 35th anniversary of the company’s EOS System, which made its debut in March 1987 when Canon launched the EOS 650 SLR and three EF lenses: the 50mm F1.8, the 35–70mm F3.5–4.5 and the EF 35–105mm F3.5–4.5.

The EOS branding serves dual purpose, as an acronym for Electro Optical System and as a tribute to Eos, a Titaness and the goddess of the dawn in Greek mythology. Since the launch of the EOS System, Canon has released dozens of SLR, DSLR and mirrorless, and over 100 lenses for its EF and RF lens mounts.

Canon R3 Review Against R5, R5C, 1DX III

Here is a real-world Canon R3 review against the Canon 1D X III and R5.

Camnostic updated its comprehensive Canon EOS R3 review to help R5 and 1DX III shooters make upgrade decisions. Recently added are video aspects and comparisons to the new Sony and Nikon flagships, as well as the R5C.

Should 1DX III Shooters Upgrade?

In short, yes – if you think 30 frames per second, more megapixels and significantly improved ergonomics matter enough to cover the <$1,000 difference between a new R3 and a used 1DX III.

Should I Upgrade If I Own the R5?

Probably not, but maybe. The extra $3,000 would buy you a camera with about half the resolution. The R3 does beat the R5 significantly in super-low-light circumstances. Its autofocus capabilities are better, but not demonstrably in most situations.

The US price for Canon EOS R3 is $5999 and available atAmazon | B&H Photo |Adorama. 

Here are some hands-on review videos of  Canon EOS R3. You can also see our free Canon EOS R3 in Stock Tracker and watch official Canon EOS R3 sample images.
