Canon EOS R3 has 100% coverage with 0.76x magnification and Fujifilm X100T has 92% coverage (0.5x 35mm equivalent) magnification.

Canon EOS R3 features a 24.1 megapixel Full Frame Stacked CMOS sensor with dimensions of 36 x 24 mm and a total area of 864 mm². Its native ISO range is 100 - 102,400 and expands to 50 - 204,800 in boosted mode. Fujifilm X100T features a 16.3 megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor with dimensions of 23.6 x 15.8 mm and a total area of 249.6 mm². Its native ISO range is 200 - 6,400 and expands to 100 - 51,200 in boosted mode.

Canon EOS R3 has Stacked CMOS sensor. The key feature of such sensor is its three-dimensional structure, which consists of multiple layers of semiconductor material and circuitry stacked on top of each other. This allows the sensor to have dedicated layers for image capture and signal processing. This separation allows for faster data readout, reducing rolling shutter effects and enabling high-speed shooting and video recording. It is also more power-efficient.

Canon EOS R3 is equipped with DIGIC X processor and can take pictures up to 6000 x 4000 resolution. Fujifilm X100T is equipped with EXR Processor II processor and can take pictures up to 4896 x 3264 resolution. It can also take pictures with lower resolution like 4896x2760,264 x 3264, 3456x2304, 3456x1944, 2304 x 230, 2496x1664, 2496x1408 , 1664 x 1664 with 1:1, 3:2, 16:9 aspect ratios.

In-Body Image Stabilization on Canon EOS R3

Canon EOS R3 has a built-in 5-Axis Sensor Shift in-body image stabilization (IBIS) with 8 stops of compensation. This means that you are still getting vibration reduction when camera is paired with non-image stabilizied lenses. It also works with lenses with optical image stabilization and in combination can achieve even better compensation.

Built-in GPS on Canon EOS R3

Canon EOS R3 has a built-in GPS (Global Positioning System) technology which allows you to automatically tag the location where you took your photos. You can later categorize, organize, and search for photos based on location. This is very useful for travel and outdoor photographers for documenting the locations where images were captured.
