Why I got the Canon R3 in 2024… 

Insane video of the bears. We only have koala bears here in Australia. (Seriously koala are no relation to bears - they’re marsupials 😂). Just bought an R3 at an insane price. Oz dealers are clearing their stock it seems for a new model. Great video. This YT channel is a gem. Subscribed.

The R3 is lighter than a R5 with a added battery grip. I have two R3s and weight is not an issue. Also the run time is amazing. I love the R3. The only issue may be size for gimbals etc as you need the DJI rs3pro for it to fit.

good video , thanks for sharing !!!

The Canon R1 is simply the Canon R3 Mark II. Just look at the premiere dates of Canon and its competitors a few years ago. Canon simply slept through and the Sony A1 and Nikon Z9 were shot. Marketing had to find a solution for 24 MP vs. Nikon 45 and Sony 50 in A1. They called the premiere Canon - R 3 and conducted training for the brand's managers to talk nonsense about the work on the R1. This work has been going on "supposedly" since 2021. This is a complete camera refresh cycle.

Thank you for the material. He gave me a lot and showed me the conclusions. Unfortunately, you can't beat optics, distance and atmospheric pollution. I also have 200-800 but I also use Sony. I'm thinking about changing and you're surprised to switch to 300 2.8 plus + teleconverters. There are no perfect solutions except... Nikon Z 600mm F/4 TC or Sony 600 mmm F/4. As for photos... hmm... you have to get closer, lie in wait, etc. I also mainly walk and take photos with my hand. Unfortunately, the percentage of good photos is marginal. Light and ISO are defeated by a dark lens. F8, F9 or F11 are a very big challenge.

Bro, first time with the R3? You've been missing out! The 4K normal video profile is good enough, you don't even have to shoot in clog-3, it looks that good and you will notice the quality is a little sharper than the R5

I was disappointed in the quality of the R3 images compared to the R5. I owned the R3 for 4 months, sold it, and went back to my R5. The R5 isn't perfect, but I found the image quality exceptionally better than the R3. I also did not find much difference in AF between the two cameras. The amount of fine detail in the R5 images is much better than that of the R3. If a person were going to use the R3 for video full-time, then that would be the only case I could find where the R3 outperformed the R5. If the R1 is a 50MP improved version of the R5, then I will be buying one. If the R1 is 24 to 30 MP, then I will pass and go with the R5 Mark II.
