Here is an interesting interview covering the latest Canon EOS R3 camera. Russian site PhotoWebExpo interviewed Mr. Andrey Tishchenko, Canon Russia’ Head of Product and Consumer Expertise.
The interview underlines some points about Canon EOS R3 sensor and gives answers that it is not the flagship in the EOS R lineup.
So if you wonder who makes the Canon EOS R3 sensor; from the interview we can say it is developed by Canon. Here are some excerpts from the interview :
Sony A1 vs Canon EOS R3 size comparison
Q: Will the Canon EOS R3 get a new sensor? Or will it be similar to the one in the Canon EOS R5?
The sensor is new because we have already stated that this is the first backlit Stacked Sensor BSI we have developed ourselves. […]
Q: Is this Canon’s first stacked sensor?
Full-frame format yes, but in fact, one of the most popular compact models in the PowerShot series, the Canon G7x Mark III has a 1-inch Stacked CMOS sensor. That is, such technologies have already been applied in our cameras, but it is the Canon EOS R3 that will receive the first full-frame sensor of this technology.
Q: Why R3 and not R1? And should we expect a mirrorless replacement for the 1D X mark III, which was recently introduced?
The Canon EOS R3 will be a brand new camera lineup that will sit below the 1D X Mark III and above the Canon EOS R5.
The Canon EOS R3 does not exactly replace the 1D X, nor is it a flagship. And I think the 1D-X Mark III will be the most popular camera at the upcoming Tokyo Olympics, which I hope will take place. There you will see who is shooting what and the “one” will definitely become camera # 1.
Unfortunately, we cannot comment on the company’s plans for the release of new cameras.
