EOS R3

I recently watched a 2 year old YT video with a pro sports photographer that said he got 20% usable shots with his equipment. At the 2024 olympics, Canon loaned him, I think, an R3 and a R5MII and his in focus % was like 85-90%. It made it harder for him to find images to submit because he had so ma

I like the cropping capabilities of the R5 and their use in studio work, but the large file sizes are mostly a hassle, and thus the reason I was interested in the R6's. file size isn't the priority, what you want is the best autofocus for sports, which always means fully stacked sensors, like the r3

Yes. It was an old feature in Canon's EOS 3 but it didn't always work so well back then. Canon has now brought it back with a much improved version in the R1, R3, and R5 Mark II.

Something like an Canon Eos R10 would be great for you i think! Edit: i see someone is mentioning the A6400, its also a good choice but the autofocus on the R10 is leagues ahead. It uses the same dual pixel 2 as the €6000 canon R3 with deep learning.

I worked out once that, accounting for inflation, a Canon F1 cost as much as an EOS R5 - or possibly R3. 1100 pints of Guinness equivalent bought you an F1. 1100 pints of Guinness now puts you somewhere between an R5 and R3. (Or an R1 if you're a tourist in Temple Bar) The Pint Index is a useful pur

Not really... just incredible that you've had a camera capable of much more than mechanical shutter and, in four years, never used it! I test-ran a R5 two years ago for a big event and I was flabbergasted how bad the wet noodle effect was on baseball bats. It turned me off from going mirrorless at a

GPS time sync is my absolute favorite feature about the Canon R3 and Canon R1 bodies.

Ah, yes of course there’s some odd purchasing rules going through an educational system. I bought both my R3’s used and haven’t had any issues using them for my pro work covering major leagues and events, as well as major news including hostile situations with chemical irritants and gas.

Oh thank you. That is such a nice thing to say. I am using a canon r3 and a rf 100-300 with a 2x for these shots. Great combination.

Canon EOS R3, for me. It checks off every box and then some. Realistically, on average I'm using this body to about 50% of its capabilities, which is fine. The other stuff is there when / if I need it. Photography for me is just as much about the final images, the journey to take said images as well
