I Bought the Canon EOS R3 (Unboxing and First Look)

Unboxing of the first Canon EOS R3 in Malaysia (I think)! Picked up this camera as a hybrid camera for both photo and video. I used a pre production unit extensively for an entire week and found it fit most of what I was looking for in a camera. I plan to post a couple more videos (if I can get some free time) so feel free to ask me any questions you might want answered!

3:39 Y’all don’t say a word! You know when you got your new camera, you sniffed it too. You can’t beat that new smell.

[@mohdvideos1]

I love the messages on the end of ur videos. Really overtime i could afford to upgrade my camera nd my work. Thanks man!

[@JoshWilliams123]

Please make a video going over the menu items and features of the camera. I'm still trying to learn the features on mine and the manual doesn't explain a lot.

[@ShervinShares]

Standard vs CLog dynamic range on the R3 - I would love to see that! I've also noticed Autofocus on R3 is more finicky than my R5

[@miltontan]

Could you please do a video comparing the dynamic range of the C70 vs the R3? Would be very interesting to see, since both cameras are in a similar price range!

[@hawkforce3109]

Love the R3 form factor!

[@MilmidStudios]

Great content as usual. Congratulations on your R3!! That thing is a BEAST!!

[@samguw]

Thanks man!

[@pankan369]

Thanks bro it’s inspiring

[@dantecooper4705]

1. Good video…. 2. When you set up eye control. When it asks if you want to refine or exit, refine 3-4 times it will work flawlessly. I wear glasses also and it worked.

[@samguw]

Thanks Dante! I guess it's not so much the accuracy but rather the use case. I think I need to get used the eye control AF because it doesn't come second nature to me. Using the smart controller does

[@dantecooper4705]

@@samguw I had a canon rep go over it with me he said he didn’t do the refining and it gave him a headache because he was trying to force it. Once he refined like 3 or 4 times it was like butter

[@SPU_Uncensored]

which camera are you shooting with this video..??? I love it's finger snap auto focus 🔥

[@badboyvr4]

Great camera, just not enough megapixels for the type of shooting I do, I'm anxiously awaiting the R1, for now my R5 will do.

[@kcasunxion]

I sold my 1Dx mark iii recently, looking to buy the r3. In terms of ergonomic is it on par with the mark iii? Is it as tough as the mark iii?

[@Thundr4x]

Can you share your R3 AF settings and custom buttons?

[@RogerZoul]

Spend your cash as you please, you earned it! That’s how I see it. I like gear too but I’m going to pass on the r3, even though it has several features I am interested in using in my photography.

[@r0llei6008]

Does the R3 menu content have the shutter number display?

[@lioneldude]

Does eye AF work with spectacles?

[@ronnytky]

Bro can R3 use Power bank to charges?

[@robertm3951]

Eye control AF works perfectly for me.

[@r0llei6008]

R3 can record files on time in the body. Can HDMI output to an external screen? R6 cannot record and output HDMI images to an external screen at the same time

[@samguw]

Yup it can output HDMI to an external screen. I wasn't aware about the R6 not being able to do that but the R3 can

[@qamaaidil]

loveeee

[@waynosfotos]

Mine on order, i choose it over the C70, so hope it is good.

[@samguw]

I can say with 100% confidence, it's not as good for video. The C70 still has the edge is tonality and usability. But the R3 as a hybrid camera, is almost perfect

[@waynosfotos]

@@samguw i get the C70 has a gr8 picture. But as a one man band in front of the lens, i came to the conclusion the R3 is the best option. Some people are saying the video is pretty good on the R3. The C70, just has to many comprimises for a one man band operator and that cropped sensor puts me off big time.

[@alexandermendeyev35]

I wish C Line boxes were this pretty :(

[@user-viktor1971]

Поздравляю Вас у нас в России надо больше года работать чтобы купить R3

[@kirk0831]

Money is not disappearing, it just becomes the way you love it.

[@jchen_tech]

Preordered mine day one... still waiitng 😭

[@samguw]

:( damn man. Maybe if you sacrifice another kidney, the camera gods will bless you with fast shipping HAHHA

[@NoName-jq7tj]

Please someone enlighten me. Why are you a pro if you don’t have the name of camera on your start. I find the canon straps in heat grind into your skin. I use a jet black strap which absorbs this.

[@wedomusic.]

sweet =)

[@zaydyaasin]

Anxiety at 6:00📈📈📈

[@TheVFXbyArt]

2:06 Lol, yeah, the canon R packaging with plastic dividers making everything slide…. Ugh!!!!!! Cardboard, much better!

[@TravelwithNazmulHasan]

okay ...give me 1DX Mark III :)

[@samguw]

;)

[@RogerZoul]

The new mic is a bit edgy sounding. I think I won’t be able to listen to it for long.

[@samguw]

AHH I think that's my fault. Need to work on my sound editing. Tho the mic is actual very very flat out of the box. I guess more room for post? I'm not an experienced sound person so I definnitely need for practice hahha

[@DeputyNordburg]

Anytime a youtuber has to pay for a camera I get sad.

[@Stefan1968ful]

I did not preorder the R3, I did not buy it. Best decision ever made.
