Very good tutorial. Thank you for sharing this special approach of event recording.

Great video

I have used a Canon 1 Dx Mark II for all of my Macaw family photos/videos since 2016. But after watching a video by Jan Wegener on the Canon R6 Mark II, I decided to rent one. Absolutely incredible focusing capabilities and produces amazing 4K video. I do not like the smaller body of the R5, R6, and others, but love the large body of the 1Dx series cameras. I ordered a Canon R3 a few days ago, and it will be delivered today! Thank you for this video and for reinforcing my decision to buy the R3! The new R1 will not have any improvements over the R3 for my photo/video use, so no need for me to buy the R1. The larger 1 Dx body size on the R1 would be better than the R3, but not enough to justify the larger price.

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?

Great video

Does it work on Nikon Z30?

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.

And here's me with my R7 thinking i get amazing sharp wildlife and bird in flight shots....

Thanks

good video, thanks for making it and uploading it

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.

focus bracketing just blew my mind

So nice work..!! You inspired me..! from Japan.

Super video, thanks for sharing all this info so clearly and concisely. I’m about to sell my 1DX Mk iii and buy an R3 and this was so helpful.

Does the EOS R3 enable touch-auto focus (on it's flip -out LCD screen) even if you have an external monitor connected to the unit during video recording? Thanks.

Gret information Josh, thank you for doing these videos!

How can i Chek Shutter Click ?

I have so many lenses but 28-70mm is so unique one , I will never sale it , thank you so much for this amazing review 👌👌👌

Most people that geek out on slog and clog3 vs clog2, etc have customers that can’t tell the difference because they’re focused on the subject of the video, not the color grading perfection. This has kept me from going to Sony… as well as the ergonomics.

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.

Tremendous. I've been shooting an R3 for almost a year now, and you definitely gave me some new tricks to try out ASAP. Thanks, Josh!!

Great to here this review now as many "pack"/"EDC" influencers just review items as soon as they are released and never touch them ever again. It was nice to hear the use cases from a fellow photographer!

Canon mirrorless have a very customizable intervalometer built in

I’m actually picking this up next week brand new at $4k. For my purposes, I think that’s a great deal. Appreciate the review!

Try the 70-200 it’s amazing just as the 28-70

might buy it soon but also considering ef 35/85 1.4 primes instead. Not very keen to invest into EF glass anymore. What are your thoughts? I shot with two R5's and video on C70. Already own 24-70 f2.8 but need additional lens as often I do both at the same time.

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. If you come through Germany and want to link up for any events/content shoots/photo walks/etc, let me know.

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?

Thx for this video

Drop the price a $1000 on the R5 mk II and sure, maybe.

Are you getting an image quality from the FX3? If not the AF for video and photography can't be beat with the R3

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.

Thanks for the great tips! Does this process re-focus before taking each shot? I’m still new to Sony Autofocus. AF Tracking is amazing on video, but wondering if my photo settings aren’t correct for self portraits? Thanks!

Very well explained for a beginner. Thank you! ++ Subscriber

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 got a 5D MkII, and I want to upgrade ! But +4k$ (6k+ in CAD) for the R5 mkII ? Really ? To me, it a 2900$ camera. So I have a family wedding comming up, and sure I would love the R5 II for it, but after taking picture of the signing event, my 5D mkII picture look amazing. I will have for the main wedding ceremony 3 Blackmagic camera, 2 Insta360 camera and I'll take picture with my 5D mkII !

Will you buy r1?

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.

Do you see what they are offering to give you for the R3, it’s ridiculous!! I preordered the R5 ii but I’m keeping my R3. My husband says I have to sell something but there is nothing that I’m willing to sell to get practically nothing in return!

What a genuine way to tell how good these Luts work on different kind of footage! Well done mate

Such an amazing and honest video Josh. This is the best review I’ve seen of the two new cameras from Canon. Owning the 1DX Mark III and the R5, still I don’t feel the need to upgrade, although the R5II is so tempting 😊.

Ok. I have the r5c, pre-ordered the r5 mark ii. My question is what is actually better/newer, best feature rich and innovative brand and model out right now? I have an rf lense but only one so i am still in a safe position to move to other brands.

You should ask at what price

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.

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?
