The Canon EOS R1 is Canon's largest mirrorless camera yet. Here's how it differs from the EOS R3 in design and size.
. While details are scarce, Canon has shared a front-facing look at its upcoming flagship mirrorless camera, creating fertile ground for a quick-and-dirty EOS R1 versus EOS R3 comparison.
Perhaps most obvious is the difference in physical size, with the R1 getting taller and wider. While the lighting for the product shots is slightly different, so there’s no conclusion to be made about the precise color of the camera body yet, it is also clear that Canon has moved away from the R3’s dimpled grip for a new cross-hatch texture, akin to an industrial-style textured metal sheet.
Speaking of the shutter release, the R1’s button looks less glossy and is angled slightly differently. This slope change carries over to the camera’s top deck. There is also an additional button up there. It remains to be seen if this has anything to do with a revised electronic viewfinder. The R3 famously includes eye-tracking autofocus through its EVF; it stands to reason the R1 could retain this capability, although Canon has ditched features before and while the eye tracking feature worked great for some, it doesn’t work at all for others. This is pure conjecture, but more space could house additional components to take this feature to new heights.
