Should you BUY the CANON R3? 1 YEAR REVIEW!

[@j.edwardrobinson1552]

Just purchased an R3; it should arrive in 4 days. I thought about waiting 3 more months for the R1 but from all the R3 reviews I did’t think the additional features justified the additional $2,500 and decided to purchase a 50mm f1.2 lens with the additional funds. I am upgrading from a Canon 5D Mark 2 so the R3 will be a dream machine for me… and as a retiree this will keep me busy. Also, I want to know what you think about a trinity that includes the 15-35mm, the new Canon RF 24-105 mm 2.8 and new Canon RF 100-500mm.

[@JeremyWalton]

Love my R3. I felt the same about the R1. Creating the best trinity is a tough one. For my work the 15-35 and 24-70 RF 2.8 are what I use the most beyond specialty lenses. I do travel a lot and love going to Yellowstone so the 100-500 would be great, but I wouldn't use it enough to justify the purchase. It all depends on what you want to do. That setup would cover a huge range if that's what you're going for.

@@JeremyWalton Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. Currently I use the 70-200 2.8 with my dslr I mainly shoot during my chuch service from the balcony and need a little more range so I wad thinking about the 100-500 but was a little concerned about the f4.1

[@DAVE_WHITE]

Had the R5, iso at about 2000 starts to go to crap. I shoot a lot of wildlife and sports and a lot of evening shooting, took the r5 back and paid the difference for the the R3 and it does everything I need it to do.

[@JeremyWalton]

Same. It does everything I need it to do! Love that camera.

[@zeiss1382]

I shoot wildlife up to 12,800 if needed and it does just fine. And crop in capability of the R5 seems better than the R3. Either way, wildlife photogs will be trying to get the R1 when it’s released.

People sometimes forgive what is the important and what isn't. A camera and system need tu fulfill two requirements: - Being a tool that can be used to the purpose you have. A tool that you trust. A tool that doesn't fail. That can endure the conditions you'll face - Being an object that you like and makes you inspired to work, makes you enjoy. Maybe for some non material qualities, maybe by design, ergonomics, output, speed, etc. It's the same even for the most boring tool like a keyboard and mouse, a set of pans, or whatever you use.

Great video, i'm seriously thinking and like everything about R3 except low res sensor. Do you think 24mpx is fine for architectural work? I remember Iwan Baan worked mostly on 1D series and he's a superstar but there's this mpx war now and I hesitate between R5.

[@JeremyWalton]

Only you can answer that. The R3 is amazing and does everything I need it to. You might have different preferences so the R5 might be better. I did hear some rumors about an update coming for the R5. We have so many options now, but I love it!

[@bradleyrex2968]

I bought and R3 and waited and waited... I received it about the time the shortages were clearing up. I love this camera. I've owned a 1DX Mark I and II, but they never fit my hand like the 1D Mark V. The R3 is back to the size that feels great in my hand. The lighter weight is also a godsend for me. And it has GPS that is important to me. Really helps me locate photos at times. The biggest downside to the camera is the cost. I had been using an R5 and and R6, but sold both to afford the R3. The Hype machine seemed to go from 100 to zero on this camera. It was all anyone could talk about online and then suddenly it wasn't. But it will be my camera until there is and R3 II or maybe an R1.

[@JeremyWalton]

That's true. A lot of hype then nothing. Maybe because of the cost and cheaper options became available. It checked all the things I needed for a camera and I couldn't be happier with it. I wonder what the R3 II will bring to the table?

[@wilsonchiu2931]

I am ready to buy the R3, should I wait for the R1 to come out?

[@JeremyWalton]

Depends what you’re using it for. Also it will def be a bump in price! The R3 does everything I need it to do.

[@noreaction1]

I’m waiting for a canon camera that can use rf lenses and shoot 4k 600 fps

[@shawnrudd4234]

Nice video! What’s up with the naming structure? Why is the R3 better than R6?

[@JeremyWalton]

The lower the number the better the camera. R3 is at the top for now. I think the R1 is on the horizon.

[@waynosfotos]

The R6 overheats and can’t shoot in Alli

[@ronrotunno2901]

No rolling shutter, ergonomics and build quality, better weather sealing, better AF tracking, stacked sensor, eye control AF, endless buffer…

[@leesphotography741]

What brand name of your camera bag? Thanks

[@JeremyWalton]

Check out the Tenba Axis V2. I did a review on my channel.

[@skyscraperfan]

I do not really see full frame as a big sensor, but more as the best compromise between medium format and APS-C. Before digital cameras arrived, every $20 point and shoot camera was full frame. It is very unfortunate that producing full frame sensors still is so expensive that they became a luxury for the casual shooter. €7,200 for that tiny Sony A1 are just ridiculous. At the same time medium format becomes more and more affordable. My 1D X already is ten years old, but I am not sure if it would sense for me personally to invest money into an R3. I love that the R3 weighs almost nothing and that it has IBIS, but I am still struggling with the idea of not having an optical viewfinder and being restricted to Canon lenses unless I adapt old EF lenses from third parties. As I do not need video at all, I will probably stick with my old camera until it falls apart and invest that money into travelling instead,

[@mpadalax]

How did they let you get on the roller coaster with the R3?

[@JeremyWalton]

Just walked on.

[@PSYCHIC_PSYCHO]

Cannon Eos R3 is probably the best Full-Frame camera on the market, for example not only does it have focus-bracketing, but focus-bracketed photos can be combined to create one photo in-camera thus no need for software; yet there are lots of second-hand R3s for sale, how can anyone not like the R3?; presumably the used ones for resale were bought by dunces for vlogging

[@waynosfotos]

Well now they have limited shooting in National parks in the US. Big bummer……

[@puredistancegolf]

Good video.

[@stubones]

For the sports I shoot I’d “sell a kidney” to be able to afford to sell my 1DX ii and replace it with a R3. I’ll wait have to wait for a dramatic price drop in a couple of years …

[@JeremyWalton]

The R3 is expensive. I got lucky that the R3 and Komodo came out when I decided to upgrade. Who knows what will be out in a couple years. Something better is right around the corner.

[@baekmedier]

You do know that the R5C has the same IPB rating as the R5 😅 just saying.. weather wise.. i dont Think people know that.. Got the R3 and the R5C and im never gonna bring the R5C into the rain even though 😅😝

[@bibekadhikari7677]

this guy's looking at a fkn teleprompter lol

[@doommuffinz5276]

I'm not trying to be mean but was this a useless video for anyone else? The only almost useful things mentioned were that the camera is vaguely durable and vaguely has auto focus that you can trust

[@jeffrey3205]

Too dam expensive

[@elonurico]

I made my career with Canon cameras. Frankly, the biggest problem facing technology is the useless, thoughtless machines they made. They experienced an 8% shrinkage worldwide in 2023 and as a result, they had to close their centers in some countries. It's time to sell the Canon lenses we have.

[@elonurico]

Dont buy this canon. Buy iphone 15, much better quality
