The Canon EOS R3 sensor may not be produced by Canon

According to a recent interview with Canon executives, the upcoming Canon EOS R3 camera is apparently not the EOS R flagship. We already covered this information here. So we can easily predict that Canon is planning to release another Canon EOS R model as flagship which could be EOS R1.

Canon also confirmed that they will not share the RF mount with other manufacturers. In case you missed it, the EOS R3 will be the first Canon camera with a stacked backside-illuminated sensor. It is the first of its kind developed by Canon for consumers.

So if you wonder who makes the Canon EOS R3 sensor; from the interview we can say it is developed by Canon but not manufactured by Canon.

The Canon EOS R3 full-frame mirrorless camera is already listed at B&H Photo. This is the Canon’s answer to the Sony A1 and Nikon Z9 with the new EOS R3 full-frame mirrorless camera. Anyway below are some highlights from the interview (Translated by Google):

Fujifilm GFX 100S Review : Gets 90% Overall Score and Gold Award

DPReview has published full in-depth review and test results for the Fujifilm GFX 100S. The medium format camera achieves an excellent 90% overall score and Gold Award from the experts at DPReview.

The Fujifilm GFX100S price tag is $5,999 and available for pre-order from Amazon, B&H, Adorama in the USA. It will cost £5,499 in EU: AmazonDE / AmazonUK.

Fujifilm GFX 100S Key Features:

102MP 43.8 x 32.9mm BSI CMOS Sensor
X-Processor 4 Image Processor
4K30 Video; F-Log Gamma, 12-Bit Raw Out
3.69m-Dot OLED EVF
3.2″ 2.36m-Dot Tilting Touchscreen LCD
5-Axis Sensor-Shift Image Stabilization
425-Point Phase-Detection Autofocus
ISO 100-12800, Up to 5 fps Shooting
400MP Pixel Shift Multi-Shot
19 Film Simulation Modes

What we like:

Excellent image quality across the ISO range
Exceptional detail levels
Very good tonal quality maintained into shadow regions
Choice of Raw compression
Image stabilization makes it easy to achieve full resolution
Comfortable ergonomics and decent level of button/dial customization
Relatively compact form factor
Impressive video capabilities
USB charging is convenient

What we don’t:

Autofocus performance varies significantly between lenses
Face/Eye AF not as reliable as its FF rivals
AF Tracking not as sticky
No tracking AF in video
Line-skipped video doesn’t give full sensor low-light performance
Comparatively low battery life
Viewfinder isn’t very high resolution

Conclusion from DPReview:

The Fujifilm GFX 100S is the smallest, least expensive way to achieve image quality beyond what full-frame can currently offer. You lose some responsiveness and flexibility in return for that, but as an image-making tool the GFX is excellent. It’s also a surprisingly capable video camera but its smaller battery risks being more limiting than it is for stills shooting. Impressive in the studio and beyond.

Good for

Landscapes, portraiture, studio work

Not so good for

Fast-paced action and scenarios that require rapid responses
