Canon EOS R3 Spotted

The camera was demonstrated by Canon at the Photo & Imaging Korea Trade Show. The images of the camera were captured by the Chinese science and technology portal ZOL.

At this exhibition, Canon demonstrated the EOS R3, the flagship mirrorless camera. Because this camera has not yet been officially released, Canon only put it in a glass cover to show its appearance at this exhibition. According to Canon’s current news, EOS R3 is the flagship model among the mirrorless products”.
