The
Canon EOS DCS 3
was
Kodak's
second Canon based
Digital SLR
camera (a rebranded
Kodak EOS-DCS 3
) released in July 1995, four months after
Kodak EOS-DCS 5
. It uses a modified
Canon EOS-1N
film camera with a modified
Kodak NC2000e
digital camera back
attached. As a result, it maintained the
Canon EF
lens mount, and full compatibility with all of Canon's EF lenses made until that time. The camera was followed by the six megapixel
Canon EOS DCS 1
, which was released later in December 1995.

The back had a then-massive 16MB of RAM to act as an image buffer, as well as a PCMCIA card slot for image storage, plus a
SCSI
socket for connection to a computer. The imaging element was an
APS-C
sensor with a 1.5x crop factor, and a resolution of 1268 x 1012 pixels (1.3 mp). The camera back did not have an LCD monitor.
[1]
A typical 260MB
PCMCIA card
or
IBM Microdrive
of the period could store 189 images.
[2]
The EOS DCS 3 lacked any internal
JPEG
processing, and images had to be processed on a computer before they were usable in any form. The large amount of memory contributed to the then-immense price of the EOS DCS 3, at nearly two million
yen
.
The camera was succeeded by the
Canon EOS D2000
(a rebranded
Kodak DCS 520
) in 1998.
