Canon EOS R3 Special price!
The Canon EOS R3 was previously discounted to $4,499, a solid price considering that the new EOS R1 is listed at $6,299, and rivals like the Nikon Z8 ($5,499) and Sony A1 ($6,499) are even more expensive. Now, B&H Photo has made the deal even sweeter, dropping the price to $3,999 with an "email special price" that reveals the final discount when you click the button and check your email.
If you haven't seen this e-mail-only price before, this is how it works: Some manufacturers like Canon set a Minimum Advertised Price (MAP) restriction that limits how retailers can display a product's selling price. In this case, Canon tells the retailers that they can't advertise the EOS R3 at any price below $4,499 on their website. But just because they can't display a lower price on their webpage doesn't actually mean they can't sell it for lower. Retailers like B&H Photo overcome this restriction by sending the reduced price only to the customer's email upon request.
Canon EOS R3 vs R1
With such a great price and similar capabilities, I think the EOS R3 is a much better buy than the EOS R1 which will not be available before the end of November this year. Here is a brief comparison of the two cameras, and check this page for a detailed comparison.
