Preview longer than most people do the review. Awesome stuff. Thanks Jared.

[@ChBi89]

Love the new technologies going into this camera, like AF selection by looking at the subject, Backlit sensor etc. … proves my investment in RF Glass right! Those technologies will trickle down eventually and the lenses will still be very good :) So for me sticking with my basic R body, investing in good glass and having a great outlook for new bodies if I ever feel the urge :)

[@Henry_44]

So now we know that the Eye autofocus is not a gimmick, it's gonna be game changing for sure

[@patricksmith2553]

Yeah I'm only disappointed by the really poor battery life, I thought the bigger battery would mean like 3x the amount of usage or frames but it's not. It's equal to or worse than the Nikon Z camera's and Sony camera's CIPA numbers. Also the mechanical shutter of 12fps is disappointing since the 1Dx Mark III can do 16fps!

[@coresnap]

@@patricksmith2553 ........ WHY are we using mechanical shutters?!? Seriously...it's 2021. You missed the point of the video! haha

[@Skux720]

Imagine how many hundreds of times a sports photographer has to manually move their focus points to acquire a subject in a sea of football players. Now imagine they can just look at the one they want and start tracking. It's this kind of improvement that you can't quantify on spec sheets.

I love Canon's politeness accepting that R3 is not going to match with A1 but it's significantly better than A9ii.

[@oscarshen6855]

Unlike phone manufacters such as Apple, Samsung, Xiaomi, Huawei. These camera manufacters compete with each other with respect.

[@networm64]

But is 1500$ more! And if you can find the A9 original on some markets it's almost same as Mark ii but for 3000-3500$ New.

[@danieltucker9890]

@@networm64 Yeah its $1500 more but its newer with more tech, bigger battery, built in grip so the price is justified in my opinion, this coming from someone who just bought an r6, if I could have afforded the r5 or this r3 I would have. Thats not to say the r6 is not good enough its an amazing camera and i've already gotten photos with it I would haven't gotten with my previous 80d, which I still have too.

[@ReclusiveEagle]

A1? Nah , it’s against A9 series and light years ahead of Old Radio style Sony Series

[@TosseneMike]

This is bar none the best (p)review you've done as of yet. I've followed you for over eight years and this is the best ever. As always your reviews all always relevant. You are out in the world shooting real stuff, getting yourself in the harshest of shooting conditions to test the cameras. Well Done !

[@KimberlyAn73]

You have some of the best reviews! I love that you make me laugh while also informing and educating :)

[@ElGrecoDaGeek]

Jared, 71% less is not the correct difference in weight. It weighs 71% of a 1DX not less than. So it's about 28% less.

[@bradl2636]

Can’t readout as fast as an A1..? DOA in my book then. Moving on…

[@bradl2636]

Math is hard I guess

[@pompobresciani9582]

I thought 70% less was weird..way too much less! LMAO!

[@markrigg6623]

There are 3 types of people in the world. Those that are good at maths, and those who are not.

[@youuuuuuuuuuutube]

At 12:26, yes in theory the readout speed is 25% better than the A9ii, however the A9ii has less distortion, and the ball would look more rounded. Why is that? It's simple and Sony mentioned that in their presentations: the A9 has extra circuitry that does rolling shutter distortion compensation. So even with a slightly worse readout speed, it's able to produce better results.

[@Henry_44]

The difference is extremely minor,not even worth to discuss about

[@ecmjr]

42:07 -> Jaw dropped!!! Did Canon finally get with the times? Thanks Sony (and Panasonic) for pushing them :)

[@NickzAndMikz]

Competition breeds innovation

[@AaronMatthewGoddard]

I criticized you for the last R3 video that didn't provide any value. I am now praising you for this video. Thank you so much for providing actual content. I enjoyed this quite a bit.

[@PrakharBaisakhiyar]

"Who'll remain nameless like *Bruce Bennett*" lmao... 😂😂

[@ANSWERTHECALLOFJESUSCHRIST]

I reached a point of camera tech saturation about a year ago. I no longer feel the goody-feeling stuff anymore. I received the Adorama and B&H e-mails about the EOS R3 and felt nothing. After selling my barely-used Sony a7R II and lens and keeping my Nikon D70s and Fujifilm FinePix S3 Pro antiques, I attained a weird internal tranquility. Still, here is my thumbs-up, because I still enjoy photography and these videos take a lot of work to put together and make. The Canon EOS R3 is a beast of a sports and action camera for $5999, but I don't know what camera would need to come out to get me compelled to buy it. Thing is, they all make amazing pictures regardless of sensor size. It's about getting the right tool for the job. I can already picture people desperately preordering the EOS R3 thinking that FINALLY, they will have the camera they needed to take their photography to the next level. If they only knew that the next level happens in the heart, not in the hand with a new camera. 😁👍

[@NOOBIFIER1337]

Thanks so very much for such a detailed review. I had just bought a Canon R52 months ago, and I heard that the R3 was coming out. Your video makes me very happy because I still feel like for me I bought the right camera. I wanted to megapixels, they are three looks fantastic and it’s always interesting to see the new products

[@BallisticTech]

I dont know how there is so many photographers and videographers doong BTS, PoV, Tutorial style videos for different types of photography and NOT recording their EVF or screen like Jared. Amazing way to show how well a camera's AF works but also how a photographer frames shoots

[@andre_micallef]

Correction Jared - weight including batteries of the Canon R3 is 1015g; compared to 1440g for the 1DX Mkiii. That equates to 30% less (and not 71% less)

[@CoveringFish]

Probably meant 70% of the weight

[@louisakay8673]

Great review. Thank you. Did you try the eye autofocus whilst wearing glasses?

[@monztermovies]

Kicking snow at 120 gets me every time! 😂

[@AndrewMasters]

Fropack 3 for the win

[@CelsoMollo]

I so much agree about the cards, it should be two CF express, and “for me” the 24mp is a downer, however I am amazed by the advancement in camera technology despite the fact that revenues have gone down substantially over the last 6 years or so.

[@rzn.83]

Awesome and useful video! I heard everything I needed to :) Do you think the car and motorbikes recognition, and eye detection in every AF mode will be implemented into the R5? It seems to be a software thing. Cheers from switzerland!

[@armandot9137]

While it is true that you need to pay extra for the grip on Sony cameras, i like the fact that you can actually take it off when not needed.

[@param_naik]

Does the eye autofocus work with glasses on ?😅

[@withak7683]

Still saving for the R5 that low MP on the R3 despite everything it offers and it is a bangin good, I will go with R5. Love the eye detection, but I also have eye issues, and fear struggling with such an awesome feature I would probably not be able to utilize. Thanks for the review Jared.

[@Bastian_Schweinstig]

Great video Jared. Any experience with the ibis wobble in video mode? Best wishes from Germany Sebastian

[@simon3461]

Nice camera ! Now we all need the 400mm 2.8 ! Always remember Jared: always buy good glass...

[@JohnDrummondPhoto]

There is one advantage to the LCD not being completely flush: when facing backwards, there is less reflection of the photographer and less glare from a light source right behind you, like the sun. The main deficit is when shooting yourself with the LCD flipped forward, because it's a little awkward to center yourself properly. May I presume that the eye-control AF works with back-button focus? It must really be great if it works with Jared's jerky eyes!

[@shang-hsienyang1284]

After watching the entire video, the only thing that bothered me is the asymmetrical card slot. I shot with the original a9 for 4 years and I really don't like one fast+one slow card. It is forcing the photographer to shoot RAW in one and JPG to the other.

[@Smoothblue90]

Me too. Love All the specs but that. In my Nikon D500 I shoot raw plus raw. And I hate I don't have a faster second card. I have wanted a D5 with dual XQD cards. I figure. If one of my cards corrupts. I still don't want JPEGs. So my backups are raw also. I shoot Nikon DSLRs but I'm really liking this camera.

[@knowyouryoga]

Jared doing it before anyone else, damn!

[@JaredRibic]

Thanks for doing this video. I got up at 3am (Seattle) to preorder my EOS R3. Bummed to hear it's microHDMI instead of miniHDMI. I thought they would have learned after all the complaints about the EOS R5/6 and the microHDMI jack. I really wanted more than 24MP resolution, because I'm spoiled with the 45MP of the EOS R5. But the new features and ability to record video longer than 30 minutes will make up for it (I hope). If not, I'll upgrade again when the EOS R1 comes out.

[@Sahil-bz9ei]

Today I got every answer about the R3 , watched the full video without skipping , thank you for this video

[@AlrightThen15]

Jared Polin. I can’t remember the site you do an ad for where you submit photos and they will submit your work to several different outlets for you. Do you recall the name? Thanks, love the vids.

[@rk_bullet]

I believe with "A1" Sony has set the bar pretty high so it will be not easy surpassing it's flagship, but even if other manufacturers reach close that would be not less than amazing. Though I am also interested in video capabilities also, let's see when R3 gets into cinematographers' hands.

[@stevepalmer8938]

I got here. ;(, I cover news conferences (as an independent photojournalist) most of us cannot afford $6k camera from news shooting. But, you ask about why you would need to change subject eyes in a group. Cover a news conference with many speakers near the podium & we are always switching focus points to get the person in focus we need. The eye control will be HUGE for this.. But, this will be on my camera wishlist. Thank you very much to you & the crew for a VERY detailed preview. All the best!

As always love me some fro. 30% lighter, not 70%. The battery has 25% more capacity than this used in the R5/R6. But the R5 & R6 can hold 2 batteries if you have the grip. So 1.5X more then an R3

Looks to be a fantastic camera that'll only get better with firmware updates IMO Is there any news on crop bodies for the R range yet?

[@daran0815]

Some corrections regarding your A1 comparisons: A1 lossy raw is 13 bit, not 12 bit; A1 anti-dust shutter will also stay open in silent mode; A1 lossless raw is only 60MB (shooting uncompressed 120MB raws is pointless). And apparently, for some reason, most Sony shooters don't use a grip.

[@lawrence_SoCal]

I’m on a 80D, and have similar thoughts. Though in my case, looking at a new, primary, non-professional camera body, I’m waiting for these features (but dual CF, split card is silly), with R5 body/resolution. I love the end of the fake video time limit (about d@&! time). I don’t need 30fps, and not willing to pay significant premium for it. But all the rest, yes, I want and will pay. Here is to hoping R5 Mark II has better design/thermal mgmt, and incorporates the AF improvements from the R3

[@Smoothblue90]

I tried a Fuji X-T4 for 2 months and it just wasn't strong enough in video performance and video autofocus for me to keep it. Even though it has a great movie / still switch that separates the video settings from the video settings. The R3 does everything I wished the X-T4 would have done, including 6k video with excellent continuous video autofocus. Because I want to shoot a little wider so I can keyframe my rotation and position and scale and export to 4k. So now I know what the price tag on that performance is and why the X-T4 just doesn't match that level of performance.

Do we get a discount if we purchase 3 EOS R3's?

Long time sports photographers will live and die by the DSLRs as they are proven workhorses. Many of them have existing EF lenses and have no need for any of the RF lenses. I've met one sport photographer shooting with a 1DX Mark I and a visually busted looking EF 70-200 2.8 Mark I. They still worked flawlessly and he told me he had no reason to upgrade. It got the job done and his newspaper clients were happy. He said he would only upgrade if his gear malfunctioned and they didn't have the parts to fix it.

@@TC-cd5sm Mirrorless cameras are proven to be better workhorse than DSLR cameras today. We all know DSLR still gets the job done but Mirrorless gets the job done faster, efficient, better and more convenient.

Technology has greatly improved cameras to new heights now more than ever before. Others who still wants to stick with their outdated DSLR can still do so. Others who prefer the new powerful mirrorless will upgrade. Once global shutter becomes the norm, shutterless cameras will be the next big thing and then DSLR will be obsolete while mirrorless will still latch on. Sony will leap again since they can afford to invest heavily into R&D.

@@harryvuemedia5106 You don't have to convince me. I've already moved to a Canon EOS RP and stopped using my Mark IV. I'll be soon moving to either two R3s or an R3 + R5...maybe a 1DX3 + R3 (thank you work lol). Those diehard sports photographers... now those are the folks you're trying to convince. Of course, in the end, they could very well be just too damn cheap to upgrade LOL

The eye control is game changing. It’s like the older canon EOS cameras with eye control, but you have to look at the pre destined AF point. What if you let someone borrow your camera? Do you have to recalibrate it each time? Or do they create profiles?

[@Noeman2009]

It has 6 slots, you can recalibrate on the same slot, it will make the ECF more accurate because it has the learning capability. I know because I had EOS5/A2E that also has eye controlled focus (ECF).
