The pictures answer some of the questions I had and it is good news as it appears to have controls that combine the best of the 1DX line and the R5/6. Has the awesome thumb AF control built into the AF-ON nub like the 1DX3 and has the upper rear dial for exposure mode control like the R, R5, R6.

Thanks for pointing that out, I was about to write the same. The inclusion of the AF-ON Smart Controller seems like a good idea (I've read good things about it, but have yet to get my hands on a 1DX III to test it out).

Overall the controls layout is very reminiscent of the 1DX Mark III, which is definitely a good thing.

Agreed. The obvious exception being the dial on the top to allow exposure control like the R5. This is an excellent departure from the 1DX model which uses buttons. It actually looks like maybe you can adjust exposure modes using either method in the R3 body.
