Even though the camera was not officially released to the public, it was already used at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Japan. [4]

The EOS R3 won Camera Grand Prix 2022 Editors Choice Technology Award. [5]

In July 2022, EOS R3 firmware update 1.2.0, enabled this camera to shoot up to 50 frames at a custom high-speed continuous mode rate of 195 frames per second with full resolution in JPEG, HEIF or RAW format. [6] [7]
