The mirrorless full-frame camera EOS R3 revolutionizes sports, news, and wildlife photography. Even the fastest action can be captured at 1/64,000 sec and up to 30 frames per second - completely silently thanks to the electronic shutter. The innovative Eye Control AF offers a new level of intuitive focus control, allowing you to select a subject simply by looking at it. The subject tracking ensures that people, animals, and vehicles are sharply rendered throughout the frame. Even in low light, the EOS R3 excels with an ISO sensitivity of 102,400 and an 8-stop image stabilizer. This hybrid video/photo camera also records 6K RAW or 4K footage with oversampling - ideal for documentaries and visual storytelling. In the fast-paced world of professional sports photography, Wi-Fi, LAN, and smartphone connectivity help meet all deadlines.

The JPEG signal processing in the Canon R3 does a very good job and leaves no room for big quality leaps when using RAW. At low ISO values, RAW images look a little more natural, but show no significant improvement in detail reproduction. At high sensitivities, untreated RAWs are too noisy...
Whether you choose the Nikon Z 9 or the EOS R3: In both cases, you can look forward to an excellent professional camera with outstanding speed and image quality. Canon's model is a tad faster, but Nikon scores with a higher resolution, better equipment and video functions. Which camera wins will therefore depend on personal preferences.

Nevertheless, their performance is astonishing, reducing the essential thinking work to the preparation of the shots. The Nikon Z 9 stuck to the subject slightly better than the Canon EOS R3 and found its way back into focus more quickly when it was lost...
