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 :)
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!
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.
@@photoenduro You can't drop the "Well do you really need it?" While having an a7 iii That's like saying "I know I have a Bugatti Veyron but do you really need the Bugatti Chiron?"
@@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.
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. 😁👍
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 !
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.
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.
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
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!
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.
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.
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!
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)
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.
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.
@24:34 The main reason I like SD cards is that all print labs have a reader for it. It might not sound that important but it really is, mainly for when we sell photos during an event and need to print out-of-camera JPEGs.
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
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?
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).
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.
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.
Golden buzzer for Jared. For the next song I request MEMORIES FROM CATS: "Memory Turn your face to the moonlight Let your memory lead you Open up enter in If you find there The meaning of what happiness is Then a new life will begin."
Jared, you can flip the screen around to lay flush against the back of the camera to have that alignment you want. This also works on every other Canon flip out screen.
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
I actually once had to go to the corner store to buy a new sd card because my old ones were all full and I couldn't back up my images while travelling. So I can kinda see where Canon is coming from.
had this problem too, but this is meant for profesionals, and they are expected to carry more than 2 memory cards of CF Express. So I still don't like the SD card
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.
Great to see these cameras still kicking butt. I laugh when people say Phone cameras make them obsolete. For sure the price tag and size does not make them accessible or convenience to most but they still give the best photography quality we can get.
As far as the silent shutter sound option for this camera, you know what would be pretty cool? An option to change the sound of the shutter. I tend to find the shutter sounds in other camera brands vey satisfying to hear.
Normally I'm not a huge fan of how you present things (too loud \ shouty) but I cannot dispute the quality of what you're actually saying and the info you're getting out. 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?
I’m trying to decide whether I want this camera or the R5c for wedding and event photography. Upgrading from the EOS R. Having a 30 frames per second and being able to pick my frames at events will be really good. Help
@@danpedraza9586 also, the lower MPs mean better iso performance. People forget that lower noise is a priority over high MP count for the people this camera is targeted at.
@@sahilmeena8018 Croc. MP has nothing to with noise. High ISO does. I can shoot at 100 iso with 24mp or 100mp and be tack sharp but if I shoot at 3200 iso with 12mp I'll get high noise.
I absolutely love the technology being implemented. It's all so super cool - and the USER has a choice to use these or not. Awesome details, and thanks for breaking it down. The R3 is a force to be reckoned with!
Not a lot of room for an R1 to improve on this, so I wonder if the R1 will just be an R3 with more megapixels and two CFExpress slots. If they’re going to have two different types of card slots, I’d like to see an option where the camera writes the images to the CFExpress card when you’re shooting and then copies it to the SD card when the camera is idle. It’s not a perfect solution and that might impact battery life slightly, but it would be a compromise I could live with.
Canon R3 literally killed off all of their 1DX series. There was no point in releasing the 1DX Mark 3 but Canon released it anyways because they didn't want to waste their R&D money.
Nah, there’s definitely still a generation of shooters who will pick up a DSLR over mirrorless still. Obviously, mirrorless has surpassed, but they’ll make money giving the option of a DSLR that’s comparable.
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. Mirrorless still works flawlessly too and gets the job done that clients would be happy with especially social media clients who needs those photographs right away. 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
Presumically you can also use the back button rather than a half-press when using the eyeball AF? Surelically you use AF-ON, Jared? Are you not a back-buttoner?
Jered, have you thought of trying to shoot figure skating with the Z9? There is a lot of spinning as you know. It would be a good way to try this hit and miss understanding of the tracking system. Could any of these cameras keep up with the speed of these athletes spinning? Just a thought 💭
I wonder how good the car tracking will do on different color cars. I shot a lot of races with my EOS-R and noticed that it had a hard time focusing on certain car colors, gray in particular.
44th! I can't justify the price at the moment, but it is exciting seeing where the technology is going and the tech will be standard in the lower price range models in a few years.
I think the extended viewfinder could help people that have certain prescriptions on their glasses. I know it would help me from smudging the back screen with my nose.
Yeah. One of things that make mirrorless cameras more appealing to me. I can't look through the viewfinder without squishing my nose on the screen on DSLRs. Not a problem, really, just a nice to have.
@@riothero313 i sometimes do that too on my nikon dslr, but it doesnt create as much of a gap as the protruding EVFs do, and it just makes me uncomfortable having my screen out like that, especially since my screen is getting squeaky around the hinge.
"Ok, we have our mirrorless 1DX, but it's not as good as Sony A1" "I know! Let's label it R3 and say it's not our flagship yet" "Great idea, we'll have some time to research something better"
And by the time the R1 comes out, I presume that the A1 II would be right around the corner. Before that, Sony may also first release the A7IV and A9III, so Canon always has something to worry about.
real nice review. and of course, a fantastic camera showing what in 2021 is possible with dslm. just want to say... panasonic, fuji, olympus, pentax (ricoh), they all don't have a comparable model to eos r3 or sony a1, it's not only nikon.
Like Ronald Mcdonald in the video here, Areyou forgetting what nikon is capable of? yes sony went way ahead canon caught up but I think the Z9 will be another step above them both
@@jasonhowells7758 compared to canon or sony nikon is a small company. i'm not sure if nikon has the needed budget for a kind of camera-tech-war, we now see between sony and canon. and often it's a better idea to be a (fast) follower as an innovator. but after all there is one big point for me. i can make real great shots with brilliant colors and stunning sharpness with my nikon. personally, i have no problems with focus. and my nikon together with my favourite lense coasts the half of a r3.
As far as 2 different card slots and having them write to both card slots for backup purposes….why can’t the camera write to the fastest card 1st and use that card to copy to the second slower card or have some sort of buffer to copy to the slower card in the background? I guess if it’s corrupt on the 1st card you’d be copying a corrupt file to the second card but there has to be a way that it keeps up with the fast card and copies slower to the SD card in the background while keeping performance as the priority. Could it use a different section of the faster card as a buffer if you have a large enough card size and after it’s done copying to the slower card it opens the space back up on the faster card. I don’t know, just a thought.
Damn. I want all these features (especially the focusing system), and I want to upgrade from my 10 y/o 600D, but I don't quite want to spend this many thousands of Euros on them.
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
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.
Thumbs up for a HANDS ON PREVIEW!!!!!

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.
Can’t readout as fast as an A1..? DOA in my book then. Moving on…
Math is hard I guess
I thought 70% less was weird..way too much less! LMAO!

Great to see these cameras still kicking butt. I laugh when people say Phone cameras make them obsolete. For sure the price tag and size does not make them accessible or convenience to most but they still give the best photography quality we can get.
As far as the silent shutter sound option for this camera, you know what would be pretty cool? An option to change the sound of the shutter. I tend to find the shutter sounds in other camera brands vey satisfying to hear.
The Z9 is supposed to come with adjustable shutter sounds 😂😂
Do we get a discount if we purchase 3 EOS R3's?
Normally I'm not a huge fan of how you present things (too loud \ shouty) but I cannot dispute the quality of what you're actually saying and the info you're getting out.
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?
I’m trying to decide whether I want this camera or the R5c for wedding and event photography. Upgrading from the EOS R. Having a 30 frames per second and being able to pick my frames at events will be really good. Help
I’m good with my R5, the R3 looks like an amazing camera though
Thank you so much I needed your opinion
I watch your videos and listen to the podcast…you are doing great man. Thanks for all the valuable and FREE information!
Jared doing it before anyone else, damn!
at 1:19, it weighs 30% less, not 70% less. You could also say it's 70% the weight of the old camera.
Looks great especially the focusing system , the two massive fails are the 24mp and the sd card slot for $6000 I’d expect more
The target audience for this doesn’t need high resolution. I agree I don’t like the sd card slot
@@danpedraza9586 also, the lower MPs mean better iso performance. People forget that lower noise is a priority over high MP count for the people this camera is targeted at.
@@sahilmeena8018 I’d still expect 30mp or 36mp
@@sahilmeena8018 Croc. MP has nothing to with noise. High ISO does. I can shoot at 100 iso with 24mp or 100mp and be tack sharp but if I shoot at 3200 iso with 12mp I'll get high noise.
@@benpykephotography I wouldn't. The 1dxiii has a 20.1 mp sensor
So glad all this new stuff is unaffordable - kills temptation
Great review! Love the Whole New World Solo 🎤 🎶 🤣
Thanks dude. Always a reliable early reviewer.
I absolutely love the technology being implemented. It's all so super cool - and the USER has a choice to use these or not. Awesome details, and thanks for breaking it down. The R3 is a force to be reckoned with!
Not a lot of room for an R1 to improve on this, so I wonder if the R1 will just be an R3 with more megapixels and two CFExpress slots.
If they’re going to have two different types of card slots, I’d like to see an option where the camera writes the images to the CFExpress card when you’re shooting and then copies it to the SD card when the camera is idle. It’s not a perfect solution and that might impact battery life slightly, but it would be a compromise I could live with.
wow, really excited Jared 😍
As a wildlife and sports photographer I really need your help with a R3 vs. R7 video! Don't know which one to buy :(
R3 baby!
Canon will always be my favourite
That auto detect of flicker so you can dial in the shutter speed is amazing!
I got here 👍 - thx for the review Jared!
Fropack 3 for the win
Good thing Canon put a flippy screen in so vloggers can use this camera with all those great telephoto lenses.
Pete McKinnon: FINALLY
Thanks Jared for your experiment and your comments.
Canon R3 literally killed off all of their 1DX series. There was no point in releasing the 1DX Mark 3 but Canon released it anyways because they didn't want to waste their R&D money.
Exactly! If I was among those people buying one just a year ago I would've been so pissed...
Nah, there’s definitely still a generation of shooters who will pick up a DSLR over mirrorless still. Obviously, mirrorless has surpassed, but they’ll make money giving the option of a DSLR that’s comparable.
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. Mirrorless still works flawlessly too and gets the job done that clients would be happy with especially social media clients who needs those photographs right away. 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
Presumically you can also use the back button rather than a half-press when using the eyeball AF? Surelically you use AF-ON, Jared? Are you not a back-buttoner?
Made it , Jared. Great Review good to see the Full World Review ..
Somehow I was hoping the R3 would suck... probably because I don't got the money for it ^^ WTF I'm in love with it...
for a 2 days hand off it's an amazing review
Jered, have you thought of trying to shoot figure skating with the Z9? There is a lot of spinning as you know. It would be a good way to try this hit and miss understanding of the tracking system. Could any of these cameras keep up with the speed of these athletes spinning? Just a thought 💭
i also really need to underline that canon always feels better in the hand then sony cameras…great video!
Probably more reliable too.
I wonder how good the car tracking will do on different color cars. I shot a lot of races with my EOS-R and noticed that it had a hard time focusing on certain car colors, gray in particular.
Hey Fro. A most thorough comprehensive assessment. Kudos.
Let the billion comparison videos begin!
The card choice... I bet, is related to repurposing the R5 mainboard.
The auto flicker detection is actually super useful
Jared your Video has more Info then Canons Presentation !!!!! Thank you!
Thanks for the video Jared & Stephen!
Shout out to Daniel for being a good sport and model! 👍
44th! I can't justify the price at the moment, but it is exciting seeing where the technology is going and the tech will be standard in the lower price range models in a few years.
30MP is the sweet spot for me. Wish they bumped it a bit
I think the extended viewfinder could help people that have certain prescriptions on their glasses. I know it would help me from smudging the back screen with my nose.
Yeah. One of things that make mirrorless cameras more appealing to me. I can't look through the viewfinder without squishing my nose on the screen on DSLRs. Not a problem, really, just a nice to have.
@@sahilmeena8018 Oddly it's one of the reasons I flip my screen out to the side lol.
@@riothero313 i sometimes do that too on my nikon dslr, but it doesnt create as much of a gap as the protruding EVFs do, and it just makes me uncomfortable having my screen out like that, especially since my screen is getting squeaky around the hinge.
This is great Jared! Thanks for the preview. It has helped me understand why I might actually buy an R3. Please keep up the good work!

"Ok, we have our mirrorless 1DX, but it's not as good as Sony A1"
"I know! Let's label it R3 and say it's not our flagship yet"
"Great idea, we'll have some time to research something better"
Yeah weird, I don’t get it either
they named it r3 before the a1 released am i wrong?
@@randomnetizen7980 yeah this thing has been coming for a while and it seems like the a1 came out of nowhere
Spot on lol
And by the time the R1 comes out, I presume that the A1 II would be right around the corner.
Before that, Sony may also first release the A7IV and A9III, so Canon always has something to worry about.
Everything is state of the art even the price tag. Amazing pREVIEW of this beautiful camera thanks Canon for doing their best
real nice review. and of course, a fantastic camera showing what in 2021 is possible with dslm.
just want to say... panasonic, fuji, olympus, pentax (ricoh), they all don't have a comparable model to eos r3 or sony a1, it's not only nikon.
Like Ronald Mcdonald in the video here, Areyou forgetting what nikon is capable of? yes sony went way ahead canon caught up but I think the Z9 will be another step above them both
@@jasonhowells7758 compared to canon or sony nikon is a small company. i'm not sure if nikon has the needed budget for a kind of camera-tech-war, we now see between sony and canon. and often it's a better idea to be a (fast) follower as an innovator. but after all there is one big point for me. i can make real great shots with brilliant colors and stunning sharpness with my nikon. personally, i have no problems with focus. and my nikon together with my favourite lense coasts the half of a r3.
FUJI FANBOYS TO ME! :D..but true, my fuji is nowhere near their specs
@@PatrickFeldhusen I thought Sony basically owned Nikon now.
I got here! Great job Fro being through, and also great job Stephen on the fast turnaround!
Wow! Jared -- when does your "Disney's Greatest Hits by Fro" album get released?!?!?!?!?! I want to pre-order one!
As far as 2 different card slots and having them write to both card slots for backup purposes….why can’t the camera write to the fastest card 1st and use that card to copy to the second slower card or have some sort of buffer to copy to the slower card in the background? I guess if it’s corrupt on the 1st card you’d be copying a corrupt file to the second card but there has to be a way that it keeps up with the fast card and copies slower to the SD card in the background while keeping performance as the priority. Could it use a different section of the faster card as a buffer if you have a large enough card size and after it’s done copying to the slower card it opens the space back up on the faster card. I don’t know, just a thought.
Damn. I want all these features (especially the focusing system), and I want to upgrade from my 10 y/o 600D, but I don't quite want to spend this many thousands of Euros on them.
No shit when u spend more money u get better specs
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
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.
So far the best and most informativ review.
