Canon confirms that they do not consider EOS R3 to be a “flagship” camera

Well, it might cost $6,000 and have a feature set that blows the Canon EOS 1DX Mark III away in most respects but apparently, the Canon EOS R3 isn’t classed as a flagship model. In an interview with Canon’s David Parry at The Photography Show in England last week, it was revealed that Canon doesn’t consider the EOS R3 to be a flagship camera mainly because it doesn’t have the durability of the 1DX series.

Sure, the EOS R3 might contain a lot of features similar to the 1DX Mark III, be targeted towards a similar target market, and even be much better in many ways, but nope, not a flagship. All this despite the fact that it’s currently Canon’s most expensive RF mount camera, with a price on par with former flagship DSLRs from both Canon and Nikon.

Techradar recently had a chat with Canon Product Marketing Specialist, David Parry about the new upcoming Canon EOS R5. While there haven’t been any new specs or details released about the camera, he did confirm that while the EOS R5 isn’t a 5D Mark IV replacement, it does target the same market and customers who might have otherwise bought a 5D series DSLR.

It’s an interesting interview, as is often the case with David, which covers a number of topics about the new EOS R5 camera. As usual, while David is happy to expand on the topics he is allowed to talk about, he remained tight-lipped when it came to letting out any new information on the capabilities of the camera itself.
