Support for Canon 250D/Rebel SL3, CR3 format
Implemented
Capture One 20.0.4 Pro cannot process/read/open raw files from the Canon 250D/Rebel SL3 camera in CR3 format. This is a great dissapointment, considering that the camera was released in April 2019.
Adobe Lightroom is the only software I know besides Canon Digital Photo Professional 4 that has support for this camera. Unfortunately it doesn't have the right colour profiles, and also for some reason it shows big differences in noise compared to DPP 4.
Is there anything planned to support this camera in CaptureOne?

Hi Juraj,
Thank you for your comment.
Support for Canon 250D/Rebel SL3 was implemented in Capture One 20 (13.1.0).
Feel free to download the latest version here - https://account.captureone.com/en/account/download

Juraj,
This being a User to User forum (and with the Capture One traditional policy of never pre-announcing future developments or entering into speculative discussions) you are very unlikely to get a meaningful answer here.
However given the time that has elapsed so far, that fact that I seem to recall this came up on the V12 forum when that was active and the camera's apparent market position, it would seem unlikely that support will be introduced now.
You could send in a Feature Request but whether you will hear anything back is anyone's guess.
Given it's a Canon camera and they are usually supported I can only assume that eithert the sales volumes and levels of interest in C1 amongst 250D users is so low that the work required for support is not felt justified OR that, given your comments about having to use Canon software or an unsatisfactory implementation in LR, there may be some underlying concerns about the results that can be obtained based on the technical information available that have made Capture One reluctant to attempt to support the camera for some reason.
But of course that is just speculation and guesswork from my part.
That said my elder daughter and her husband bought a Canon 600D some years ago and, as far as I know only used it a few times in the first 2 years and have not touched it recently. My younger daughter bought a 100D (or maybe a 150D?) about 4 years ago and I don't think she ever uses that either. I don't think either of them have ever got into editing even for the jpgs.
Their phone cameras seem to offer all they need.
On that basis people may feel that the market for RAW conversion tools for cameras in that strata may only be viable for support if sales volumes appear in the usage data and the product doe not introduce any support challenges at all.
Obviously these are just my thoughts and contain a lot of speculation.

Hi Grant,
Thanks a lot for this very nice reply.
I guess it's a combination of all the issues you are mentioning.
Hopefully Canon will soon realize that it doesn't make much sense to keep all the algorithms and encodings proprietory. DPP4 gives excellent resuts indeed. However, it is very very slow.
It was a big surprise to me to learn that no matter what I do in Lightroom, it is impossible to recover all the colour data from the raw file, which is natively read with DPP4 (which also enables export of images that are *exactly* the same as the JPEGs). Not to mention the noise characteristics of the images, which are much worse in Lightroom, and in RawTherapee the noise is so bad that the image is unusable.
When I convert the CC3 files to DNG with the Adobe converter, I get relatively good results with CaptureOne though, at least as far as colour goes. Ofc, the colours will be different, but still good - no noticable loss of quality. Also, the noise characteristics are better, but still very different and worse than DPP4.
I will continue using DPP 4, despite how slow it is. Quality over quantity.
For batch jobs I can use CaptureOne after conversion to DNG. Good enough.
