Canon Japan creates an EOS-R3 Microsite

Canon Japan has created a microsite on the EOS-R3 with additional details about the camera. Machine translated the main points from the site are;

• AF will be capable down to -7.0 EV
• IS + IBIS capable up to 8.0EV
• Improved head and eye detection
• The camera AF will detect eye, head, body. Enhanced tracking for portrait and sports. As well AF will recognize and track cars and motorcycles (motorsports tracking)
• supports both CFExpress and SD cards
• 4K Log 3
• 4K oversampling
• RAW video internal recording
• Video AF can follow people, eyes, animals, and motorsports.
• Magnesium Alloy body
• 1 series weather sealing
• 5Ghz Wifi
• LP-E19 battery pack
• There will be new accessories for data communication and power.
• File transfer supported via LAN and also wireless (it seems to indicate only iOS for wireless but that could be a translation error)

We knew from before that the EOS-R3 will have;

• Full-Frame Stacked BSI CMOS Sensor
• Eye Control AF, Dual Pixel CMOS AF
• Subject Tracking with Deep Learning
• Continuous Shooting Up to 30 fps
• Integrated Vertical Grip
• Weather-Sealed Construction
• AF-ON button with integrated touch joystick.
• Fully articulated LCD screen

The one thing to note is that this is oversampled 4K - which probably means the sensor is around 24MP, and will not compete head to head against the Sony A1.
