thanks a lot!! im just wondering why a professional camera with face recognition is unable to focus just right BEFORE the actual shot. I dont understand what the technical problem is. I just want to press the shutter, go to my spot, wait for 10 seconds and then the camera can just activate the focus right before shooting the picture. Do you know why that's not possible?

Hmm, yeah, it is true what you say about video, but I do expose to my tools and don't look at the screen for adjusting the image. The screen is also pretty bright compared to some other cameras. The video autofocus is awesome, the battery life is incredible and and switching between set framerates can be setup in C1, C2 and C3. Making it super simple to use. The image, even in 240fps, is amazing! The 1080p is oversampled to the full sensor and looks insane good!. My biggest gripe is the lack of video features, like waveform and anamorphic squeeze factors. But I just love this camera, and even the 1080p still blows my mind after having this camera for 2 years.

I have what may seem like a beginner question but I'm coming from a video world, working on my flash photography skills. When I want to use a flash in a very dark situation, sometimes the camera will brighten for a second to autofocus before taking the photo with the flash and sometimes it just pops off the photo with the flash without focusing. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it. How do I tell the R3 to prefocus before flashing every time?

It might be redundant but I'd like a video on Autofocus in video mode etc, and your settings of when and where you use each and why.

Hi Josh, despite being a massive backpack nerd and following other channels, the is the first vid of yours I've seen! Very cool! I have had the bag for 3 weeks, so shorter than you. It seems the Xpac material is still holding up well for you in the sense that the cross stitching isn't showing too much. I've seen/read that the cross pattern becomes a lot more (too) visible after a while.

Great Video Josh. I’m new to your channel. I own the R5 and the original R6. With the announcement of the new R1 and R5II I was trying to figure out what to replace my R6 with. I was once asked to shoot a swim meet once and I was shooting in high speed mode and came to realization of the limitations of my cameras buffer for these kinds of shoots. I do mostly shoot weddings and events but definitely would love to dabble in shooting more sporting events. And you mentioning the buffer of the pro sport camera is a great reason on making my final decision on what camera to upgrade to. It’s going to hurt my wallet a little more than I wanted to but hey what can you do. Thank you.

I'm watching the Olympic pole vaulting competition on 8/5/2024 and after a world record was just set by Sweden, it looked an EOS R3 convention as a dozen photogs all holding identical bodies sporting medium range L zooms raced up to the athlete to take photos. If you ever needed evidence of Canon's dominance of the field (and you likely do not), a scene like that is all you would need to see.

Nice take on these. I agree with you about the R5 Mk II. I think it will be very ubiquitous in the near future and for some years to come. However, I'm going to see what my local shop offers on the R3 now. Might be a good time to snag it, especially if it's still getting regular software updates. Thanks for the review.

With the release of the R1 causing the price drops of the R3, would this be a good time to upgraded to an R3 from an R6. I shoot my son’s youth hockey (14u) games with an R6 and a RF70-200 2.8 or RF24-105 2.8. I was planning to skip the R6mkII and wait for the R6mkIII but the R3 looks great. What’s your opinion?
@joshrexford21 күн бұрын
This is a GREAT time to upgrade to the R3! The R3 is still such a solid camera and would be perfect for what you’re shooting. My only qualification would be to make sure you get it for less than the cost of the new R5II as the new R5 is VERY similar to the R3 with even a few extra features and I wouldn’t want to spend more on a used R3 if I could get a new R5II for the same or less.

Canon shooter here. I currently use the Canon R3. I will be upgrading to the Canon R1 and will also purchase a Canon R5 MkII. My Canon R3 is a true beast and I shoot sports on a regular basis. With that being said I love my Canon R3 but will be purchasing as I said before the Canon R1. Some people are saying that there will not be a continuation of the Canon R3. I can believe this. And here's my reasoning why. A part of me wants to think that the Canon R3 was a phenomenal TEST BED because a lot of the features that are in the R3 have shown up in the R5 MkII. And by them doing this it just proves that if they wanted to they could have put more resolution and a bigger sensor into the Canon R1. Because when you think about it the R5 Mark II has a 45 megapixel sensor with a lot of the specs that are in the R3 and a few that are also in the R1. Just think about that for a moment and marinate on that and let me know what your thoughts are if any from anybody who reads this. In closing I will say this. Possibly in four more years when the Canon R1 MkII arrives don't be surprised if it has possibly a 33 or 36 or even 40 megapixel sensor. And honestly it doesn't even need a global shutter.

Man if the R5ii shot in 4K60 oversampled like the R3 it would be the best. So 4K60 will be line skipped on the R5ii and not be as tac sharp as the R3 ughh. And like you said, the R1 just doesn't have enough mind blowing upgrades to make a jump from the R3. The R3 is just so dang good, even today.

You don't understand how the R3's eye-controlled AF works. You use it to identify the subject, hit the button, then the camera tracks that subject EVEN if you look elsewhere to confirm your composition. If you want to track a different subject, you look at the different subject, hit the button, then that subject is tracked. It doesn't keep you from looking around the frame. Eye-controlled AF in the R3 does not move focus around the frame. It tracks your eye position, but only locks focus when you hit the button. It functions very much like the smart controller, only faster because it responds to your eye.

I have been considering a new R3 since it is so much less than the R1. I shoot Friday night lights and some gym sports. It is an upgrade to my old 1dx and my R6, but still stuck with my old ef 300 f2.8 version 1, I have never heard anyone really promote an R3, so I hesitate. Now hearing you say you like a Sony over your R3, I hesitate again.. If Canon ever gets the ef 300 version 2 in stock, I thought it might match up well with the R3 plus ef to r adapter The ef and rf 400 is out of my price range.. Thanks for sharing.

thanks for the video Josh. I own the R5 and R3. I use the R5 in studio and R3 for anything out like weddings etc. I've been waiting to add a new camera. Trying to figure out between the 2 new ones. I like the R3 better. It molds perfectly in my hands and great auto focus. I don't shoot video, so that party doesn't make a difference for me. Do you know what camera is better for Dynamic Range? The R5ii sounds amazing, but I think the R1 is a better system in low light? I don't shoot sports but I move a lot while shooting and same for the wedding at the party! I'm right in the middle of things so AF is important for a lot of my photography.

None, your cameras are still top tier and you dont need to upgrade. New cameras havent introduced anything worth making a jump. The R1 AI af is only worth if youre shooting sports because of predictive af, thats it.

This is the type of review KZfaq needs. Honest but not disparaging to the brand or based on brand preference. I really appreciate it. You are 💯accurate as well. I think I will possibly buy the R5mii, although I had always planned on a r3 or r1. The R5mii is a flagship at an r5 price. Can’t really beat that. I do mostly shoot stills and working to improve and build my wedding business. Either way I actually love features of the R1 and R3 more than a high mega pixel camera, but I also love clog2, false colors and full size HDMI. Get all that an 4k 120 with R5mii. Great options available either way.
